REVIEW

Built with both DJs and consumers in mind the Custom One headphones can be adjusted to suit whatever application you choose - from spinning at the club, to studio monitoring, to personal listening. The Custom Sound Slider allows you to adapt the sound of the headphones to suit your taste or listening situation. The settings range in style from analytical (for critical monitoring) to a full bass emphasizing sound (good for DJing). In addition, the Custom Pro One includes a detachable and replaceable single-sided cable and soft, replaceable ear and headband pads that extends the life of the headphone considerably. For fans of noise canceling headphones the Custom Pro One's Variable Noise Reduction will make them the perfect travel companion. Unlike typical noise canceling headphones they do not require a battery and they prevent any sound spillage coming out of the headphones. Along with those features the Custom Pro One headphones are the first to get Beyerdynamic's professional 16 Ohm Velocit drivers. They are some of the lightest in the world and deliver extraordinary precision and complex audio reproduction. Beyerdynamic will also be offering a variety of accessories (like slide-in artwork) so that you can make the Custom Pro One headphones your own.
