Mackie MC-150 Closed-Back Studio Monitoring or DJ Headphones w/50mm Drivers

The Mackie MC-150 is a closed-back headphone with 50mm transducers, aimed at studio monitoring and DJ work. The large drivers cover 15 Hz to 20 kHz with clarity across the range and increased bass response, so kick drums and deep synths have weight instead of just being audible.

Closed-back construction with conforming ear pads separates what you are hearing from what is happening in the room. That is what makes it workable for tracking next to a live drum kit, DJing in a loud club, or holding a boom on set where the voice matters more than the crew.

Comfort gets attention because monitoring sessions run long. The headband is soft, padded, and adjustable, and the ear pads conform around your ears to hold a seal without clamping. That seal is also what keeps low end where it should be.

The cable is a 9.8 ft detachable straight cable with a locking bayonet connector, so a snag pulls the cable rather than the headphones off your head, and a damaged cable gets replaced instead of retiring the pair. Impedance is 33 ohms with 93 dB sensitivity, which means phones, laptops, and headphone amps all reach usable volume. A gold-plated 1/4" adapter and carry bag are included, and the collapsible fold-up design packs down at 9.35 oz.
