Audio Technica’s model PRO500MK2 is part of DJ headphones series, just like its predecessor – PRO500 model. The manufacturer notes the convenient design of headphones, swiveling cups, as well as the possibility of replacing the cable with another one. Headphones look massive; the same way they feel on the head. ATH PRO500MK2 weight is almost 300 grams, so we cannot say that they’re light. The model comes in two colors: classic black and bright red. In the second case, the red color is on the outer side of the cups, as well as the plastic part of the headphones. Ear pads and headband remain black. Headband is made from leatherette, on the outside there is a large inscription Audio Technica and the logo. The guides are made of metal; there are notches for fixing in one of the positions. Cups have a swivel design (up to 90 degrees in each direction) and 180 degrees rotation. The set includes two cables: crossover one, with the ability to stretch up to three meters, and straight one which is a bit shorter (1.2 m), but for listening to music on the smartphone while traveling – is just right.
