Overall a great product. For non-powered headphones, the volume is great. The quality of the headphones are rock solid (I don't see myself breaking these in any normal form such as them bouncing around too much in transport, etc.). Red and black is sexy, and for those who use Numark products such as the NS7, NS6, and V7, it holds a color scheme, design etc. making for a very professional look (if you are concerned with image). The audio cable is longer than I'll ever need, which is great for those who have large booths. The 1/8" adapter is twisted on for extra security (so it won't pop off if pulled by the cord).
Overall a great pair of headphones. The price MAY be a bit much for some.

"If you want red and black headphones, don't bother with Beats."
I've had several other sets of headphones in mind for the past month or two, but I see no reason to upgrade any time soon unless I want something that looks different or am convinced I'm getting the deal of the century.
Sound
The sound on this has been a step up from my previous headphones (AKG K44s). Everything remains super clear and unless you're maxing out EQs to dangerous levels, there's absolutely no distortion. 10/10 for sound vs. price.
Features
The 10' stock cable is gold plated, angled, and comes with a 1/4 adapter (also gold plated). For my mixer, I love that it's angled and when using an mp3 player, it tucks it away nicely as well. Having that much cable when walking around is a bit cumbersome though. It also comes with leather carrying bag. Boss. A minor thing is my ears are sensitive to pressure so after an extended amount of use, even the cushy leather bothers my ears (these are on-ear), but a small break will have you rocking again in no time.
Ease of Use
Does what it says on the tin.
Quality
Maybe it's just mine, but the swivels need a bit of breaking in before they feel like they're actually swivel cups. I thought I was surely going to break mine when I first got to adjusting them. Otherwise, rock-solid. They've been banged around a little bit and have no obvious signs of wear.
Value
Love it. Bought them on a whim after being charmed by the design and having a recommendation from another DJ and I was pleased with my decision.
Manufacturer Support
Numark is tougher to get a hold of than the white house. Good thing these cans are not in need of support.
The Wow Factor
As said, the design was the first thing that caught my eye. Also, the hybrid look of Pioneers vs. Numark color scheme makes them look like something from a science fiction movie.

Very good low end. Not so much high. Loud of course and sleek design. One issue is the hinges. Just seem easy to break!!!

The headphones look great, feel great on the head/ears. However, the sound thru the headset is low, it's not crisp and clear. I used a cheaper set of headphones that gave a sharper, clearer and crisper sound.
