Anyone used these outdoors, how did they perform? I'm looking to get a pair of compact mains to DJ small/medium venues.

One pair of these were used for a small backyard birthday party and worked great. Small meaning a small track home size backyard. I added the PR sub to fill out the sound as the bass cuts off at 54hz. The PR Sub drops on down to 45hz.

We used 3 Pair for a large 3 unit indoor Tennis facility. For DJ use get the 12 or 15" better bass

Used as monitors outdoors the did great. I would think they would do well for a small gig.

Kyle, I have had these headphones only about 3 months. So far they are doing well...seem to be very durable and tough. I'm not rough with them but I have dropped them a couple times but on a carpeted floor. I use mine several time a week but not every day. I use mine for listening to Spotify on my laptop. I am well pleased with them although I haven't had then very long! Very comfortable and sound good considering what my source of music comes from. I hope this helps you. Sorry I haven't had them longer to give you a better answer as to their durability!

hey mate, they are great for mixing. you will not need an extra sub as they hv inbuilt subs. infact the low end sounds fantastic on them.

I have to agree with the other respondents in that I would not expect these speaker to last with any outdoor exposure. I do in fact love these speakers and have them in two rooms currently and plan to expand to a whole-house. Completely indoors. I do have the external Yamaha Speakers which have served me well over the past few years. They are mounted in a case which may not give you the appearance you're going for. But no, these guys would not do well in an outdoor environment.

I have used these for DJ'n (especially in smaller bars, etc) where speaker is 20' or less away and the music gets to be too much to understand requests. Can still hear people talking as long as they are close by. I think I have hearing damage already so without ear filters/plugs I can't hear people very far away anyways.I have not used the gold filters but the silvers seem to do real good.

I think they sound fantastic. They might be a little bass heavy for you, though. They clearly are built for genres that emphasize the low end, but it's not overpowering nor does it drown out the higher tones, although the mids ARE quite recessed. But again, the "midrange scoop" is pretty common.

I wish I had these on me right now, but they're at a friends, I'm picking them up tonight and can measure the exact width for you if you'd like- regardless, these are WONDERFUL, especially for the $60.00 sale price- very nice sound, collapsable and high quality case make them excellent for camping/biking etc. etc. and I happen to be petite (5ft)/fun-sized too;). I usually have a problem with this style of headphone, but these fit me fairly well- I have Never been able to find adult/dj quality ones in my size, but this has been the most successful headphone purchase!! Hope this helps- take care ~ M I wish I had these on me right now, but they're at a friends, I'm picking them up tonight and can measure the exact width for you if you'd like- regardless, these are WONDERFUL, especially for the $60.00 sale price- very nice sound, collapsable and high quality case make them excellent for camping/biking etc. etc. and I happen to be petite (5ft)/fun-sized too;).

They are good for listing to outside, not that huge to be uncomfortable, and the isolation factor is good, but I will warn, that from my own experience, if you want to lisin to the music very good, you need to put the volume up (max) and that makes people around you hear what you are lisining. You dont need to put it the highest volume, but I just like to hear my music that way :)

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.

Mike- I bought one last year and it's by far the best portable I've purchased. Not sure what you're using it for, but they do put off a lot of "clear" sound... Definitely loud enough for the beach, bbqs, and everyday use... I bought mine for $90 and it's worth every penny... Even though they're only $30 now...

Yeah, man: as I wrote in my review, the MDR-V55 are practical for both indoor and outdoor use, they have strong-bodied sound and are are well built, so they're great at around $60. I suggest you compare the V55s (DJ style) with the XB400 or XB450 (compact style) and see which looks best to you, since they pump out the same sweet bass response.

As a pair they have a nice sound, but I use them in my airstream or on the patio with just the two of us. They wouldn't be loud enough for a gathering of people inside or outside. I would get a small portable stereo for that purpose.

I didn't think they felt cheap at all. I thought they looked and felt like professional quality. I've had mine since June 2014, so about 6 months with no issues. Now granted I've basically plugged them in and left them. They get switched occasionally from game system to game system, but nothing like the wear a DJ would probably put on them so I can't give an informed response if they'd hold up. It seems like they would if they were treated with normal care.

I use mine indoors all the time for large parties, karaoke, ipod and for band practice. They sound remarkably good even at lowish volumes, but they are designed for and sound best at moderate to loud volumes due to the size of the woofer. Mine are attached to a passive mixer board, because these have their own built in amps. They can be used outside, if they are kept dry. You could fill a small to moderate sized backyard with the sound these produce before distorting . Mount them on speaker poles if using outside, for better sound projection.

yes they are correct. I used these speakers on my patio and have been happy with their performance. I did add a 10" powered sub woofer because the bass just seemed to disappear outdoors.

Hi yes I just used them for a backyard party for Halloween. My Son in law and Grand Daughter play music and sang with them. DJ a wedding also with them in a backyard and sounded great filled the area with music.

For dj they are good starter set. I brought them to a park and had them in the park pavilion. I can say that the pavilion is 200 yards from the road and I could hear them from the road. They come with a power cord you will have to get whatever cables you'll need for connections.
