how good are they for mixing music?

I'm using them in my loft for mixing but you will need to learn them in order to get the perfect mix. Took me about a month to get my mix right with these.

For a mix theyre not bad. Mastering however your going to need something larger.

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.

Hey man, so I think these headphones are more suited for edm style music. But, they still sound pretty great for other genres of music. The bass sounds a little too strong for my taste in rock and metal but if that's something you like by all means get them. I would recommend trying them out before you purchase them to see if they fit your preference, check online quite a few electronic stores carry them.

Yes, it'll work fine. If you want the best sound out of them you'll need an amp.

Well I'm no professional on music. And I'm not to picky. i like them. I think you'll like then. Especially for the price. But not sure. Bass and music seem to be good for me at least.

These headphones are designed for especially for mixing so they are designed to create the closest representation of the mix as possible. This means they are not nearly as bass heavy as more aggressive headphones like beats. If you are looking for quality headphones with more bass I would recommend the ath-m50's though they will cost about 120$

I have a recording studio in my home and have been playing and engineering music recordings for 30 years. I bought these as computer monitors in my office - but I sometimes use them to proof a mix. They are nice as an "alternative" to my studio monitors. In my studio I use Mackie HR-824's, Yamaha NS-10's and a pair of Klipsch Heresies to get different "looks" at a mix. The Control 1 has weak/non existent low bass response, so it's not useful as a primary studio monitor. I also find them to be less than flat through the mid-range. So a mix that sounds good on them, can sound "midgange heavy" when you listen to it in the car or any system with a nominally boosted midrange. So I would say, they are NOT very good if you are a serious audiophile or sound engineer and you want to use them as your sole or primary monitors. Where they are good is for mixing a nice punchy bass response(80-200hZ). As a result, I use them to mix drums and bass all the time. If those instruments sound good on these speakers, they will sound GREAT on a high fidelity system. Sometimes, when you mix drums and bass on small speakers, the mix ends up being really boomy and bass heavy once you have subwoofers and full frequency playback. Not so in this case. They have a very controlled bass response. Maybe that's why they are named "control"? So, if you want another set of speakers to check a mix, or if you are doing a lot of drum and bass music, they might be OK.

Generally, no. These aren't really heavy on the bass, unless the artist recorded the music as being very heavy in the first place. They sound very good, but if you're looking for that THOOM, I'd pick some other headphones.

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)

They would do great! For the e-drum you are going to need the Sub. I will sound better with it!

you will need some time to learn these headphones, I use it for mixing but I don't think they're suitable for mastering, you will hear the majority of details in these genres yes, but they're a bit lacking in the bass section, try bundling them with any studio monitors, maybe even a set of speakers & a sub woofer if you can't afford to buy studio monitors, just to check if the bass is working well, these are the best bang for the buck imo.

I think they would be perfect for ambient music! You will of course need a multi channel receiver to use them all.

These are very good for music, with reasonable bass (you may want to adjust the player settings to get high bass).

Theyre damn good for bass, but the mids are lacking a bit. you may be able to compensate with an eq adjustment

No I don't think you would as they give you a great feel to how your music would sound in a club at the same time being able to hear all frequencies clearly in order to mix efficiently..

Yeah I use them with my pc every day, I also use them for playing my guitar. For the price they are pretty good.

Actually, I've found them quite good out of the Apple system and can probably compete with the Beats i have at home, they sound amazing in my computer and home system as well.. good luck with them.

They are excellent for recording and mixing live bands. I use them when I'm working sound and for general listening.These are not weak headphones and require a strong signal. Weak amplification from devices at full volume will produce distortion.Also, I've owned my pair for TWO years now and they still operate perfectly!
