Ixos Dj1002 Ministry Of Sound Headphones

based on the top of the range dj1001, the dj1002 from ixos is a set of headphones aimed at djs. Teaming up with the ministry of sound, ixos has produced a range of dj headphones with enough choice to satisfy even the most demanding audio buff.

the dj1002 headphones are top-quality dj cans. The 40 mm drivers can kick-out enough power to drown out any background noise, letting you hear exactly what's playing. Thanks to a maximum input power of 1,000 mw and additional speaker protection you can really crank up the volume without fear of damaging the headphones or experiencing distortion.

the frequency response has a high of a reasonable 25 khz all the way down to an excellent 10 hz. The volume of the headphones is slightly less than its bigger brother, but at 105 db/mw is still powerful. With an 32-ohm impedance the headphones also come with a three-metre coiled lead, fixed 3.5 Mm gold plated jack and screw-on 6.3 Mm adapter, but no mono/stereo switch on this model.

the headphones produce sound that's as sweet as a nut, though for casual listening the bass isn't as warm as other headphones with an open back, but it is perfectly defined. Almost important as the sound is the build. The headphones (which can be rotated) are lightweight and reversible and the adjustable strap clamps the headphones firmly to your head while remaining comfortable to wear for long periods. --nick baxter
