Would these be good for live bands? I see a lot of DJ reviews. I am leaning towards these, but, don't want to make a mistake just to save $$$

I think no problem at all. They are not heavy but no wheels underneath. Also there is no hole for the tripod stand.

These are great for bands. Most DJ's settle on these now and the bands go with the FL-155pc which have a tighter tone and flatter frequency response. But either is a great band application. When it comes down to it a good speaker is a good speaker. We designed these to be the best speaker you can get for this amount. The same with the FL series, which costs a little more, but all that money goes into the quality of the product.

You cant go wrong with these bad boys... If you're not a professional Dj or anyrhing similar, no matter where you plug it,they will work perfectly !!!

Pop Rocks? a candy band?....jk....These speakers sounded fantastic for me for a variety of types of bands....Latin salsa, Latin rock, Hard rock, Acoustic sets, even for DJ work, although Subs are needed for that use, and have not been necessary for the other music, but I am now bringing subs to all my gigs.As for household use....OVER KILL!!!....or did you mean a house/backyard party?...then they will kick butt!

They are perfect just for that. You will be able to hear music in real time real form. There are head phones that add extra bass and things of that nature but these headphones don't do that so if that's what you're expecting than I wouldn't suggest to purchase them. I even use these headphones to listen to music on other devices because you hear sounds and characteristics in music you wouldn't hear otherwise. Perfect for studio use whether home or professional.

Hi, I'm a professional touring bassist. I've been using the ER4P's for about 8 years on stage and in the studio. I had similar ones before this, some custom moulded that cost from $350 to $800 but I prefer the Etymotics. BTW, You can find them for about $170 on amazon. I now own three pairs, one for stage, another for when I travel, one I leave at home. They are great on planes and for traveling because of their sound isolation (about 32db) This allows me to listen to movies and music without having to crank it up, thus saving my ears. I use the foam tips because they are way more comfortable. Do they hold up? They are very well made and durable and I have had absolutely no problems with them. I did have a friend of mine break off an end by accident and he had no problem getting a new pair under warranty from Etymotic. These are some of the very best out there if not the very best, well worth the money. I hope this helps, take care.

Depends on the job. Technically speaking one of these speakers has enough punch to be way more than audible in a medium theater (50'x40' stage, 300 seat house) at about 1/3 volume. I own three of these speakers that I use for my full DJ rig, but if there's some retreat, a beach party, a workshop day, or something that just needs a bit of ambiance music (requires only an iPod and some way to project the track) I'll bring one of these in and adapt 1/8 stereo to 1/4 mono through a DI box and the end result is fantastic. If you're DJ-ing indoor dance floors or something where coverage, volume, and quality are all concerns and your paycheck is one the line, then you'll probably want to go for two speakers to reduce dead-space on the floor.

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

with a decent power source these should get louder and sound cleaner than the beats. Problem is these aren't built for low end at all. You might want to jump and Parts Express website (they sell stuff though Amazon too). They have several small full range drivers that would probably do a better job for your project and be cheaper. The DB351 would sound great with a small 4" woofer though, properly setup.

Yess!! I use them for what they are made that is djing and the insulation is crazy i can hear nothing from the exterior world. I also have some Shure headphones, I have tested V moda, other sennheisers, allen and heath, pioneers and this have the best low end, also mids and highs are really clear, so if you are looking them form gaming I think they can make a really good job, but the thing is that this headphone are design for DJs, crazy insulation (I can bet that are the Dj headphones with best insulation in the market right now) and great low end I can't ask for more. And one more thing they are the most comfortable headphones I had ever own, This were very well think, cheers for Sennheiser!!

So far they have been very good but my son is a beginner DJ. They also manufacture a larger set which I am sure are phenomenal.

I use these in my theatre. You dont want them to be overpowering. With what you listed as your mains, I would personally go with these.

I use a Axiom 49 and it works very well. Just remember that these are meant for your ears to be able to pickup anything and everything. good and bad. They have saved me a few times by picking up stuff my headphones missed. Also, these are near field monitors. They're meant for studio use not really for normal listening or performing live. They sound great, but get an amp/p.a. to plug into if you're gonna be performing.

Tim,I will grant you,headphones are a personal thing.I will say these P7s are some of the best headphones Ive ever had for under $500.Being a guitarist,and I tend to listen to midrange and highs.I will say these can be cranked up very,very loud and no distortion.Do you want a lot of bass? These are very good for bass,but I have not had a chance to hear beats pro,so I really can't compare the two,I have had a lot of different phones over the yearsBose,sony,etc. Are you a drummer or a bass player?I say,if you can, try out both phones before buying.For my ears,I think these P7s are 5 stars.

Yes these are good DJ speakers for small events. They work very well for me. No they do not come with the cables. As far as sound you will not be disappointed.

They're an excellent till if you already have a drum set. I guess you could still use them on a practice pad though which you can pick up for like $15 or $20.

These headphones are meant for studio monitoring, not casual use. Not to say they wouldn't work as day to day headphones it is not ideal. They don't look "bad" but they aren't the most appealing set of headphones. My personal opinion is that if you are looking for style go with beats, but if your looking for build and sound quality along with the price factor go with the audio technicas.

Due to the serious lack of bass, I can't recommend these for movies and much less gaming. And no, they aren't very comfortable when worn for a long time. I have to readjust mine every 30 min or so.They are DJ headphones and really should be used with professional equipment for the best experience. Even phones and iPods aren't very good with them, all due to their high Ohms.
