Excellent sound reproduction, right out of the box

After a pair of 20yo Sennheisers were damaged beyond repair, I'm happy to report these already sound great without having broken them in yet. Some friends are in the market, tried these, and equally-blown away by the quality, esp at this price! Highly recommended🤘🏾 Keep it up Status.

Uses: studio, dj

Simply the Best!

I got a pair of these out of curiosity. I am blown away by how good they are. I'm a recording studio owner. I have some expensive top of the line head phones. I am just as impressed with sound of these. I've ordered two more pairs and can't wait to get them.

FAQ
Are the CB-1 Headphones wireless?

No. They use the standard 3.5mm connector, and include a ¼ inch adapter for professional A/V gear.

What’s the fit of the CB-1?

The CB-1 headphones are “over-ear”, a.k.a. “circumaural” headphones. They completely enclose the ear, and will reduce the amount of outside noise that can leak in. They are extremely comfortable for long-term use.

Are the earpads removable? Can I replace them with aftermarket earpads?

Yes, the CB-1 earpads are removable. We don't recommend the use of aftermarket pads. If you are in need of replacement OEM earpads, please contact us.

Are the cables removable? Can I use aftermarket cables?

Yes. If you are having trouble removing the cables from the headphone, please note there is a locking mechanism - a quarter turn clockwise will lock them, and a quarter turn counter-clockwise will unlock them.

You can use just about any 3.5mm cable with the CB-1, but it will not have the locking mechanism of the original cable.
