The XD-53's incorporate a circumaural isolation design, providing high level isolation from ambient noise, which make them suitable for DJ's requiring immersive listening in loud environments, says the company.
Comprising 53mm diameter drivers - the largest drivers currently available - with high power neodymium magnet design, 1500 mW of power handling, and high SPL capacity, the XD-53 headphones deliver "excellent sound reproduction". They also have rotating earpieces for easy one-ear monitoring, a coiled cable with convenient one-side exit, and a folding design for compact portability.
"The Xone range of DJ mixers has a staunchly loyal following and many customers were asking if we could design headphones to complement their audiophile set up," comments head of Xone design, Andy Rigby-Jones. "We've bought the same design ethos to the XD-53 headphones as we use for our mixers - they sound fantastic with tons of power, and a sturdy construction."
