hi this is ty Pendlebury with a review of the brainwaves hmm 5 if you're looking to buy a set of headphones the amount of choices available can quickly become overwhelming especially as it's hard to know how much to spend but if you're looking for a set of true - head phones you don't need to spend that much stupid name aside the brainwaves hm5 are available for under 130 dollars these are monitor headphones as opposed to consumer ones as in they're designed to be listened to at home but have a more analytical than musical sound the build quality is very good and compares well against the similarly priced Audio Technica m50 s however the brainwaves fit better the leather ear cups go around the ears completely and the headphones don't creak when you move your head like the m50 s do they don't look much though so there's no bragging rights there as with other professional headphones the cable is detachable and comes with either earth 1.3 meter or 3 meter cable in the box there's also a spare set of ear pads in the box as well the sound quality is very neutral with a slight boost to the vocal intelligibility and a gentle roll-off to the bass this makes the headphones very versatile and adept of most types of music compared to the Audio Technica m50 s that HM 5s aren't as convincing with rock music as they lack bass Panch but they are a shade more detail in the vocal response which is a decent trade-off that would also be of use in recording studios where the mid-range response is very important and the closed design stops sound leakage if you're looking for a detailed pair of headphones that also sound good with music and are comfortable to wear for long periods I couldn't think of a better pair of headphones for the money than the brainwaves HM vibes this has been tae Pendlebury for cnet.com
