DJ headphonesMusikmesse: Allen & Heath has launched the XD-53 professional monitoring headphones, designed to complement Allen & Heath’s leading brand of Xone DJ mixers.

The XD-53’s incorporate a circumaural isolation design, providing high level isolation from ambient noise, which make them the ideal product for DJ’s requiring immersive listening in loud environments.

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.”

The XD-53 headphones will be available from May 2007, SRP £122 (ex VAT).
