Heres a little review of a set of cans I checked out recently, and granted they're not the newest, top-of-the-range headphones on the market (in fact, very far from it), but I was still so impressed by their performance that i decided to crack open the tag of "review" on this blog with a quickie on these bad boys...

Review
On first glance (bearing in mind that I checked out a white colour-themed
Tank, and not a multi-coloured one like in the picture), the Tank is clearly a sturdy, well designed piece of equipment, geared towards DJs and probably a younger age-group. The fit is snug and, thanks to the very adjustable sizing, is adapted and fitted to ones head easily. Rotating cups, and swivel joints mean that the cans are perfect for PFL (Pre-Fade Listening) of one track while another is playing, and also mean that the headphones can be neatly folded and easily stored. The actual performance of the headphones in terms of sound quality is extremely impressive, however leaves a little to be desired in the mid-range frequencies. The various screw-on adapters and cable options mean that performance for listening, DJing, and even VoIP (eg. Skype) or cellphone use is easily optimized. The pricing for these guys is (if you ask me) a huge bargain, considering how much you get - the 'phones, a 3.5mm-1/4" adapter, coiled extension cord, VoIP cord (which has a mini-mic on it), and a small bag; the impressive performance and durability of the headphones themselves, and their overall capabilities.
Result
☆☆☆☆☆ (4/5)
