MAONO 50MM Drivers Over Ear Studio Headphones, AU-MH501 Stereo Monitor Closed Back Headphones, Lightweight Foldable Design for Smartphone, Computer, Podcast, Mixer, Music, DJ

I purchased these to replace an entry-level £40 pair of Sennheisers. Between my wife studying Music Production & Songwriting and my own video editing work, we needed a versatile pair of studio monitor headphones that could handle our daily workflows in Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro X without breaking the bank.Build Quality & PackagingYou can feel the step up immediately. The build and materials punch well above their price point, feeling closer to something in the £150+ tier. The hinges, sliders, and critical connection points are solid metal. The removable headband cover with snap buttons is also a welcome touch.*Note on contents:* My box was missing the 3.5mm-to-3.5mm lead, though it included the 3.5mm-to-6.35mm cable. I contacted customer support, and they resolved the issue swiftly and courteously.Connectivity & CablesHaving both 3.5mm (left cup) and 6.35mm (right cup) ports built directly into the headphones is very convenient. The included coiled cable is roughly 118cm relaxed, which keeps desk clutter down when working at a laptop, though instrument players moving around might prefer a longer lead. The 3.5mm jack features a twist-lock mechanism—great for preventing accidental disconnects, though keep in mind third-party replacements will need a slim barrel to fit.Sound PerformanceWhile we aren’t hardcore audiophiles, the sound profile from the 50mm neodymium drivers is very impressive:Lows - Warm, punchy, and deep without muddying the mix.Mids & Highs - Clean vocal representation and crisp highs that sit well in the mix.Soundstage - Well-balanced, making it incredibly easy to isolate frequencies in Logic Pro and precisely monitor audio cues while scrubbing timelines in Final Cut Pro X. The closed-back design provides effective passive noise isolation, letting us focus entirely on the edit.Fit & Comfort (The Standout Feature)Comfort is where these truly shine. I have a larger head and larger ears, and finding headphones that don't clamp aggressively is tough. The multi-axis swivel on the earcups and wide extension range allow them to sit flush. The memory-foam ear cushions are thick, with deep cavities that prevent your ears from touching the driver grilles. I’ve worn these for 5–6 hour sessions with zero ear fatigue or headache.VerdictFor the price, these are easily one of the best studio tech purchases I’ve made in years. Ideal for home recording, music production, and video editing.

These headphones are excellent for the price. They are well made and and comfortable to wear. The audio quality is very good for the price point and the phones compare well with others I have that cost 2/3 time the price. The real plus point is the sensitivity which is higher than most phones. This enables the MH700 to be driven by a Roland digital piano whose output is not sufficient to drive most headphones.

Good sound quality and comfortable fit. good price

excelent value for money well made and easy to yse

I am very happy with my new head phones, they are perfect for me, I listen to a lot of vocal music and films, and the sound was very clear and not distorted in anyway.The head phones are very well made with soft pads for me ears, and I like the head band that you can take off and change for a different one once it gets worn out, two cables one for PC and phone and one for studio equipment, but you can still use both of them with with a phone or PC so it will good to have a spare cable on my travel.I had the head phones on for a couple of hours and I really did not feel then at all, they sat on my head very comfy with no issues and complete covered my ears, but my ears did not hurt in anyway, the weight of them on my head was ok with no issues, I highly recommend them thank you.

Excellent

I bought these headphones because I'm getting back into music production, and they really opened up my ears, so to speak. So I plugged them in to my PC and played a few tunes in YouTube. Straight away I was disappointed- not enough bass or volume, and too much treble. Then I tried them on my phone with an equaliser, and the bass and sound came to life. So many headphones/earphones are bass enhanced and I have gotten used to that. Hearing the music on my PC without any enhancements in its true form has made me realise that I need to upgrade my soundcard and get a preamp. You can really hear all of the frequencies, the bass, treble and highs with these headphones. I think that they are ideal for producing and mixing music. However if you want to just enjoy experiencing mind-blowing bass and power, then buy a pair of Dr. Dre's Beats (which I use just for enjoying listening to music, and certainly not for producing). So it depends what you need headphones for - producing and mixing, or just enjoyment.

The cushion are very soft and the fit is very flexible and adjustable headphones. The Post service Maono was absolutely class also any technical difficulties was attended to in the most courteous way and solved all issues with less than 72 Hours thanks to Marina via customer service. If you have any issues reaching out is actually a viable option for support.
