if you're a music geek looking for a pair of headphones that won't change the way your music sounds will these should be on your list hey it's Justin you from CNET this is a first look at the cost Pro 4's headphones so these are actually studio monitor headphones which means they're meant to be used by audio professionals that's people like audio engineers producers musicians and anyone else that demands pure sonic accuracy but there's already a lot of classic reference headphones out there like the audio technica ath m50 the sony MDR seven five zero six a--'s and the sennheiser HD 280 s that have proven themselves worthwhile buys over the course of the last several decades so before I get into how the pro 4's sounds let's take a look at the build in contrast to the older headphones I just mentioned these have a really modern aesthetic that pushes away from those gaudy bright colors so many headphones have today instead opting for a more subtle approach with important details like memory foam ear cups and super lightweight materials another key feature to note is that this comes with a detachable coiled cable that you can actually plug into either side of the ear cups you can also daisy chain another pair of headphones into the jack you're not using so basically two people can listen to a single audio source at the same time so how do these measure up compared to the competition in terms of sound quality well their natural resonance worked really well for instrument driven music but as expected pop music and other songs with artificial tones just don't have that same vigor as competing headsets like the audio technica and 50s if you're someone that appreciates a range of versatile genres on your iPod you may be more satisfied with a sound profile like those n 50s on the other hand if you go into a listening experience prepared to hear your music exactly the way the production team intended while the pro for s headphones won't disappoint especially when you hear about all the accessories that come with it like this quarter inch adapter and carrying case you can read more details about that and more in my full review on CNET but that's going to do it for this video I'm Justin you you just took a first look at the cost pro for s headphones thanks for watching
