MC-350 Headphones:
The Mackie MC-350 headphones are tight fitting but no overly so where my jaw feels terrible. The closed style is necessary to stop sounds from leaking into the recordings and good for playback, editing and designing sounds in noisy environments (coffee house, on the set, etc).
While recording Onboard sounds of a super Loud Ford Mustang muscle car, I was able to clearly hear each of the inputs between the Exhausts and the Cabin. This was done with the windows open and traveling at high speed.
The people who will benefit from using these are music and nature sound listeners, beginner to experienced veteran sound designers, recordists, master engineers, and video editors.
PROS
-Great deal for the price
-Comes with 3 separate detachable cables (short, medium, and long)
-Great responses for all frequencies. I heard incredible details in music and in sound design where they’re missed in other headphones.
-Bass response is also accurate, not overly done nor over sustained like other headphones will artificially produce
-I can use for many hours without feeling ear fatigue, even at higher listening levels
-Great for serious recording/editing/mixing
-Durable and comes with a nice case that holds all of the included accessories (detachable cables and 1/8” to 1/4” adapter)
CONS
-They are slightly too tight for my large odd sized head (presses down slightly too much on top of my head)
-They don’t fit into a sphere sort of shape that some people like but can be completely flat for slim fitting into backpacks etc bags
