Behringer HPS3000 Reviews

4/10

Stunningly Average

— Pudenfuhrer March 27, 2009

Okay - you are reading this because;

Either Option A)
You read \'studio\' and professional\' You want a better sound than you have jsut now - you want tight, punchy, articulate. Poised and comfortable headphones with at least a hint of breathtaking depth and the ability to replicate a deep tight bass sound when it\'s played.

..Or Option B)
You need closed headphones for isolation. You don\'t really care how good the sound is so long as the isolation is good.

I\'ll tell you straight - for A - it\'s a total NO
These suffer from the same limitation of all the cheap closed types - they simply aren\'t sufficienltly solid or accurately made to hold the sound together. Bass and mids get lost somewhere - the stereo imaging is distant.

For B - it\'s not so bad. They keep most of the sound in, while not as good as (say DT100\'s) for this, they are adequate.

And that\'s it - they are adequate. Like almost all the cheap closed headphones - stunningly, uninspiringly adequate.

You want full sound and isolation - get a pair of KOSS sparkplugs to be honest!

For the record I\'ve tried most of Behringer\'s range. The HPS5000 feel even cheaper made than these do - however the supraaural (on ear) design is at least a better fit (if less comfortable for me) and the mids and bass is more distinct. Also I\'ve tried - and liked - the SONY MDR-XD100, 200, 300 cheap closed type range. They have a decent reproduction, with a weak bass, but come off quite airy feeling. As the numbers get higher in the range the fit of the SONY\'s improves - and so does the solidity and punch - but not as much as the price tag does!

Now - you want a tip?
You want something more like option A - you don\'t care about B
If you don\'t know or care what closed type or isolation is - you just wanted a good sound for mixing or pleasure - then look at (commonly sold as DJ type) open or semi open types. The HPX2000 from Behringer wipes the floor with these - simply for reproduction that\'s 10 times livelier - however the open design means that they bleed sound into microphones - so you can\'t use them for recording with mic\'s. They AREN\'T breathtaking - but they are a hell of a lot better than the HPS3000

You want option A - but you need option B
Audio Technica ATH-M50
Outstanding headphones. Open would be potentially even better for mixing - but these really are good - they DO make the option A \"breathtaking\" in my book.

ONE LAST THING! The Beyerdynamic DT-100 is an industry standard headphone designed for sound isolation above all else. It is \"Option B\" all the way. They sound really thin and distant - I was amazed when I finally heard them. Lets not get all wierd about it though. You just wouldn\'t use DT-100\'s as an example of good reproduction for \'critical\' listening..

Behringer HPS3000

— September 2, 2008

Basically, for the price these are a very good set of headphones. For under £20 you can\\\'t really expect to be blown away but if you want something that is very good value, buy these. The bass response is very good and surely above average for the price range. They cancel out about 70% of outisde noise unless the noise is very high volume. Very little noise is spilt out from the headphones making them ideal for home studio recordings. For a vyer in depth review of the physical details I recommend this website: http://www.tcmagazine.com/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=19

Behringer HPS3000 headphones

— Kev Curtis June 17, 2008

I bought 2 pairs of these headphones because I've got some last minute recording to do with drums, guitar and bass. Let me just say that for the price, you get fantastic value for money. £19 usually buys you some ACME brand, but I really can't complain much about them. Sound quality is useable (although not brilliant), with the bass frequencies being rather boxy at times. Build quality is a little bit flimsy (they're entirely made out of plastic) which I'm worried about in case anybody steps on them. But, like I said, for £19, you could do a lot, lot worse.

They're obviously no good as reference headphones, despite what the packaging says, but just to be able to monitor what's being recorded, then they're good enough. They don't cut out the ambient noise quite like a pair of DT 100's do, and they don't quite fit my head as snugly as I'd like them to either (maybe it's just my head?!), but for a quarter of the price of a pair of DT 100's, I'm happy with my purchase.

Behringer HPS3000 - very affortable, outstanding value

— Ashish Pindoria March 27, 2008

i give 8 of 10 because these headphones sound very much like studio headphones but i feel the response is not 100% natural and if you EQ the bass the response is very good but too boomy. it sounds a bit underpowered. so the bass lacks punch nevertheless the unEQ'ed response in the bass end is the best. they have a very good dynamic range for thier price. and it's outstanding value. although it is close it can never be good as the pricier studio reference headphones. i'd say the headphones isolate background noise very well and they are very comfortable and adjustable. has a 1/8" to 1/4" jack adaptor included. but still remains as perfect for those working on small scale and tight budget work.

Behringer HPS 3000 headphones

— David Spence July 24, 2006

Considering the price these are not bad headphones. They have pretty good dynamic range and are fairly comfortable. Sound isolation is also fairly good. Sound quality isn't bad either. Beyer DT100s they aren't but they give a reasonably representation of what is there. You wouldn't want to do any critical evaluation however. They have a closed in sort of boxy sound and the sound stage gets very crowded when there is a lot going on in the music. On simple set ups or individual instruments they are fine but when things get complicated or dynamic they sound a bit mushy. Build quality is OK. Look good but feel a bit plasticy. However as I said at the start for the money these headphones are not bad at all. I've paid more and heard a lot worse but if you want quality you have to pay for it. That said there is some pretentious rubbish costing many time what these babys cost.
