Both of them had issues with the cable connections that led me to buy the next pair (no soldering skills here...). Average use for these 2 previous headsets was 2 years with extended game times. On average 3 hours a day during the week and maybe some 6-7 hours on weekend days... wife permitting. For gaming? Really? HECK YEAH! In comparison, the CB-1 has an outstanding sound signature by comparison to my 2 previous headsets mentioned above. Though they were not top end hardware, they were no slouches either and are among the most commonly used headsets these days. The best part? THIS COMPARISON WITH THE CB-1 WAS RIGHT OUT OF THE CB-1 BOX WHICH CAME IN LAST NIGHT! Everything sounds crisp and detailed with good positioning sound stage which is a must in any game. I played an "older" game (SWTOR) which I consider not to be at the same audio level as newer games of today. Wonder how Wildlands will sound? Hmmm... The CB-1 admittedly does not have a mic but there are enough options to help out out there that this should not be a concern. What about music though? Well... I have a few IEM's against which I made my comparison and WOW! I am hearing details like never before. I even have IEM's that I consider "borderline audiophile" IEM's (I am no sound expert so I don't feel I need the expert hardware). I am now hearing details I hadn't heard before without having to spend a ton of money, which was the best part for me. Spent less than some of the IEM's I have (sigh). These 'phones are pocket-friendly and audio-engaging. Build quality? Light. Comfortable. Slight head pressure but they are still new. I assume they will loosen up with time but I don't mind the pressure. It is just enough to insure a full closure of the pads onto my head even when wearing my glasses (which are not pushed into my head with these stock pads). I will say though... they do feel a bit on the "fragile" side but I am guessing that's part of the formula to get them to be so light and comfortable. Just make sure you treat them with a loving hand, don't throw them around or into a back pack (not travel-friendly IMO) and you should be OK. Is there a need to change the pads? Not IMO. The pads, even though not of memory foam, are amazingly accommodating and make a good closure for an enjoyable listening session. If you can find replacement pads of your liking and want to spend the cash... do it. You can always come back to the stock pads. Just think of how you will cope with the guilt feeling of having spent cash unnecessarily ;-p . Speaking of time... I believe these 'phones will physically loosen up over time as I already mentioned above. I also know that the drivers will also loosen up as well so the best sound is still yet to come! Remember, I only got them last night! But, should something happen to these 'phones the price point is such that replacing them (if not by warranty) will not be a hard thing to do. These are pocket-friendly after all. I wouldn't have minded to pay full MSRP on them. Hope this has helped any of you wondering if it's worth making the plunge into buying these. If you are not an audiophile and cam keep good care of your things... just do it. You will not regret it. EDIT: Some spelling... Review: The best headphones for the price! - I bought these headphones twice, the first time was in 2018, they were amazing at the time, I loved the sound quality, I loved the comfort and I especially loved the price, I paid $59 and it sounded and felt better than the $129 pair of Sennheiser headphones that I own. The pros of the CB-1 headphones are: - Superb sound quality - Huge leather over-ear cups - Removable cables that lock - Both a straight 6ft cable and a coiled cable - Locking 1/4 inch adapter - Gold tips - Constant price drops (usually around 40% discount on black Friday) Cons: - Plastic build quality - Not made for noise-cancelling - Fit might not be perfect for everyone My first pair of CB-1 headphones broke because of miss use on my end, I used them as my daily drivers, I threw them around and dropped them multiple times, it held up for a whole year until I broke the internal connection cable between the left and right cup so I decided to but them again on black Friday of 2019, I got the new pair for only $47 and noticed a few differences between the new and old ones, the new pair of headphones sound better than the 2018 ones and had a much nicer sound really mimicking what you get from a pair of studio monitor speakers, the stereo/surround sound balance was improved however the comfort wasn't the same, the ear cups are now thinner and creates a better fit In conclusion, I still felt like it was better than any other product for the same price especially if you get it at the bargain deal of a black Friday sale, I recommend possibly buying some better ear cups if you are a comfort snob but the current ones are more then good enough to use for long periods of time in my opinion. ## Features - STUDIO STANDARD: Praised by top musicians, producers, and audio engineers, the CB-1 headphones are an industry standard in recording studios around the world. The CB-1s have received critical acclaim from the most discerning audiophiles on the web as well as top technology editors. - 50MM Drivers: Large 50mm drivers deliver studio quality audio with a wide, expansive soundstage that puts you in the room with your favorite musicians. Hear music the way the artists, producers, mix and mastering engineers intended. - DESIGNED FOR COMFORT: The CB-1’s padded headband and overstuffed earpads were designed to be comfortable during multi-hour recording sessions. Its over-the-ear design fully encloses ear, offering passive noise cancelling without putting extra pressure on your head. The CB-1’s adjustable headband ensures a snug fit on your head, and clicking ridges allow for full customizability. . - TWO CABLES INCLUDED + ΒΌ ADAPTOR: The CB-1 comes with two 9-foot audio cables - one coiled, one straight. Both have a custom locking mechanism that keeps them attached to the headphones, eliminating the risk of dislodging the cable. The CB-1 is compatible with any 3.5mm audio cable, but it will lack this locking feature. We also provide a ΒΌ adaptor plug for use with professional audio equipment. - UNDERSTATED STYLE: The CB-1’s minimalist, unbranded aesthetic will never lose its luster or fall out of fashion. A slim frame doesn’t awkwardly protrude sideways, and the CB-1 can be folded to become compact for travel. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BDX1IVW | | Additional Features | Adjustable Headband, Noise Cancellation | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Recording | | Audio Driver Size | 50 millimeters | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #429,652 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #6,398 in Over-Ear Headphones | | Brand | Status | | Brand Name | Status | | Built-In Media | 3 m cable, 1.3 m cable, 1/4" adapter | | Cable Features | Detachable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptops, Desktops, Tablets, Cellphones | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Voice Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,052 Reviews | | Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Rounded | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Form Factor | Bi-fold | | Frequency Range | 15 Hz - 20,000 Hz | | Frequency Response | 20000 hertz | | Headphone Folding Features | Bi-fold | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | Over Ear | | Impedance | 32 ohm | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Status Audio | | Model Name | FBA_SACB1 | | Model Number | SACB1 | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Professional, Studio | | Style Name | CB-1 | | Theme | Studio | | UPC | 685349920211 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Status - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** Over Ear - **Form Factor:** Bi-fold - **Impedance:** 32 ohm ## Images ![Status Audio CB-1 Closed Back Studio Monitor Headphones with 50mm Drivers - for Music Production, Mixing, Mastering and Audiophile Use (Black & Gold) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xoKK2ZCUL.jpg) ![Status Audio CB-1 Closed Back Studio Monitor Headphones with 50mm Drivers - for Music Production, Mixing, Mastering and Audiophile Use (Black & Gold) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iQ2XMkoVL.jpg) ![Status Audio CB-1 Closed Back Studio Monitor Headphones with 50mm Drivers - for Music Production, Mixing, Mastering and Audiophile Use (Black & Gold) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ztfv5wvqL.jpg) ![Status Audio CB-1 Closed Back Studio Monitor Headphones with 50mm Drivers - for Music Production, Mixing, Mastering and Audiophile Use (Black & Gold) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613m6ZDpwFL.jpg) ![Status Audio CB-1 Closed Back Studio Monitor Headphones with 50mm Drivers - for Music Production, Mixing, Mastering and Audiophile Use (Black & Gold) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618r2CZtbUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How is the isolation? Tons of bleed? Could you use these to track drums, for instance?** A: hello manderson!I wouldn't say tons of bleed, and isolation is there. But obviously at louder volumes the headphones will leak, and they aren't noise-cancelling or anything. For tracking drums I'm going to assume you'll be monitoring with these (correct me if I'm wrong)? If so I wouldn't recommend them (trust me, I'm a drummer too), instead I'd recommend the Shure SE215 IEMs. But for anything else like listening to music and mixing these are a no-brainer.I hope this helps! **Q: Pls what is the impedance of these headphones?** A: Thank you for your question. The impedance of the CB-1 headphone is 32 ohms. **Q: is this headphone good for csgo** A: I had to google "CSGO", but if you mean Counter Strike, these probably aren't for you if you need to chat with other players. There's no microphone on these. You may want to check out the Status Audio HD One headphones that do have a mic on one of the two detachable cables that come with that set.If you don't need to chat, these headphones are very nice for solo gaming - that's what I mainly use them for. **Q: Are these Bluetooth?** A: no, but you can make them bluetooth :Dhttp://a.co/gZRhC1I ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These 'phones are pocket-friendly and audio-engaging - best of both worlds *by V***S on April 7, 2018* I came to these after having used 2 gaming headsets (G430, then Arctis 3).

Wow. These are amazing headphones for less than $100! They haven't burnt-in/broken-in yet but just wow. Important thing to note... I'm comparing these to my beloved Audio Technica ATH-M50x's. Right out of the gate I noticed the sound stage is much wider than my M50's. I can hear the music spread out and when listening to DMB live, you can accurately hear where each band member is standing. Listening to Pink Floyd (one of the master's of using a sound stage) was amazing. I definitely felt immersed. While these are touted for having a neutral voicing, the mids do somewhat sound lower. Not by a ton and I don't feel like I'm missing anything, they could just be pronounced a bit more maybe. The bass and treble are accurate. Neither are emphasized. The bass packs a punch but doesn't get muddied. It's definitely not a basshead's headphones either. They're accurate. The treble is noticably rolled back from my M50's which is nice. While the M50's sound great and are energetic, I do get fatigued listening after a while because of the pronounced treble. If I'm trying to pick out a guitar part to learn to play, I'd use the M50's but if I'm just trying to experience the music as a whole I'll definitely be using the CB-1's. Where these guys saved money is in the build quality. They sound like $200 headphones but feel like $50 headphones. They're all plastic except for some thin aluminum chrome trim. I feel like I could wallop someone with my M50's and they'd hurt... The CB-1's... Not so much. The CB-1's do feel like they could be thrown in a backpack and carried around with out too much fear.... I'd just be afraid of sitting on them. The bright side to all of this is... they're light. My M50's get painful after wearing a while. Light weight is always good. I will say this... If they bumped the price tag up to $150 and only improved the build quality... I'd definitely buy them... They sound that good. All in all, I'm happy and would definitely recommend them! I'd give them 5 stars if the build quality was a touch better but I'm not complaining. To be honest, for the price they're really a 4.5. ## Frequently Bought Together - Status Audio CB-1 Closed Back Studio Monitor Headphones with 50mm Drivers - for Music Production, Mixing, Mastering and Audiophile Use (Black & Gold) - Urbanphonics XLR Mic Cable | Premium Quality Pro Microphone Lead | Balanced Male to Female | 8 Metre Black | Clearer Sound for PA Systems, Studio Recording, Mixers, Amplification & Speakers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/24571522-status-audio-cb-1-closed-back-studio-monitor-headphones-50mm](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/24571522-status-audio-cb-1-closed-back-studio-monitor-headphones-50mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
