As someone who used these headphones I can confirm they give minimum clarity in high pitch. It's like listening to loud music with your head underwater. You'll hear strong muddy bass and unpronounced muffled high frequencies. I wouldn't recommend them for production or mixing even If you EQ them to best of your ability. I have the portable Marshall Major V (a lot smaller headphones that don't cover the whole ear) and they sound infinitely clearer with beautiful bass. I don't understand how BH 470 could ever be used as a studio gear if regular travel headphones overtake them in sound.
After having these headphones for a year, i can agree. For listening to music in general, as I like a warm full bottom end these are fine but the problem I found is when I wear them for recording and especially mixing, they don't give an accurate representation of what's going on. I think I have a great full sounding mix, but when I sit back proud of myself and then play it through my 8 inch studio monitors, it's actually really thin and toppy. So I will be replacing for that task. I can vouch for them being really comfy and great looking though.
Thanks for sharing your experience after a year of mixed use. I like to say we can learn the sound signature of headphones (and a room / monitors) for mixing, but these are a bit too far off and lack enough detail to support critical mixing decisions imo as well. Cheers!
Hello. I'm writing this with a translator, so sorry if there are any spelling errors. Would you recommend them for just listening to music, I don't really produce much. In the physical section these are very pretty.
They sound like $hit for music Thank you for these details. I was looking at the the Audio Technica M20X I need a accurate monitor for music streaming.
@@askdrtk Yes sir, I tried both ath m40x and hd280 pro. I must say that even though the clamping, I went with m40x due to clarity. hd280 pro was a little bit muddy. I think i will change the pads somehow to get more comfortable. I must be sure that I hear as natural as I can get. Thanks for asking and thanks for all the support
These have poor low end extension / detail and will not provide the information you want to hear when practicing. An affordable set that will do a great job for bass are the OneOdio Monitor 60. I did a review on them and I will say they provide excellent bass extension and detail while performing well above their price. I hope this helps out!
It seems behringers "more expensive" lineup of headphones prioritizes basically everything _but_ the sound quality (both my behringer omega and bh470nc are mostly medal but dont sound the best)
I agree, it is unfortunate these headphones did not perform well. I have used some very good gear from Behringer (and associated brands) over the years. Perhaps some of their other headphones are superior...I am planning to test others in the future. Cheers!
Thanks! The HD560 and HD400 Pro are the same headphones (confirmed with a Sennheiser representative) with the exception that the HD400 Pro includes a second cable (coiled). I posted a review of the HD400 Pro and have since had the opportunity to test the HD560 and can confirm the frequency response tests are all within 1dB which is well within the tolerance of my tests. Both have slightly underrepresented bass and a roll off above 10KHz. Mids are very well represented but not over emphasized which can be helpful for identifying issues with individual tracks and for mixing.
Hey buddy, could you recommend a pair of headphones within a $75 budget? Making music and basically just need to hear my guitar and drum machine through a mixer, making Death Metal music also.
The M20x are a very good option. They get a lot of studio use for monitoring drums and guitar and will hold up really well for DM vocals too. They hold up very well in regular studio use, a reasonably comfortable , and you should be able to find a pair for under $75. Hope this helps out!
A good option would be the Shure SRH940 at $199 - amazon link: amzn.to/40BNLfm or Shure website link: www.shure.com/en-MEA/products/headphones/srh940?variant=SRH940-E to check them out.
The V-MODA XS are available in White/Silver at $108usd amzn.to/3Hm3Oam and Sony makes a version of their MDRX05/WS headphones that are also white/silver amzn.to/3nhYuOj
It wouldn't be my recommendation as the midrange is muffled which will make it difficult to hear what is happening with those instruments. Audio-Technica M20x would offer clearer sound with better detail in this price range.
In this price range I recommend the Audio-Technica M20x. They are widely used in studios, have a good sound profile, and have proven to be durable given their price.
Sounds like someone put a speaker in a pillow. I don't get it. They're small speakers. You'd think the problem with small speakers would be the low end.
Glad to help out! I will say these were not what I expected… I have come across a variety of Behringer products that performed very well, but these are not on that list.
@askdrtk yeah, it's a shame they would produce something that sounds that bad, especially when they can do much better. You're one of th main reasons I bought th m40x, & I luv them! My only complaint is th hinge assembly on 2 separate pairs have broke. On my 1st pair, it practically exploded on my head! I was in bed & would've sworn my wife punched me😅. That 1st pair I couldn't fix, but th 2nd pair I used a baking soda/super glue hack I found on utube. So far, so good 🤞. It seems that sort of cheap, shoddy build would damage a company's reputation & repeat business opportunities. Besides that, th sound quality is excellent 👌 🍻
wow, thanks for sharing what happened with the hinges. I have a couple of pairs I use a lot and haven't had that happen yet. When I put them on now I am going to be waiting for the explosion...lol 🍻
@askdrtk I hope It doesn't happen to you! Both pairs of mine were incredibly squeaky, & before th hinge assembly gave way , th squeaking became even louder. So, if yours aren't squeaky, then you should be good. Thanks for listening to my headphones issue🍻

Thanks for sharing your experience with these. I have found “studio” to be a very “loosely” applied description… Cheers!
I just typed in “headphone test” and your video popped up.
Thanks for the info.
First “Like”
My pleasure! Thanks, I'm glad to help out!

Fantastic review!! Hats off to you sir!!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
These headphones are quite good for listening to music off you tube etc👍👍👍👍👍👍..7/10 ..
Can you recommend a soundproof headset? "sound insulation" "isolation"
Hello. I'm writing this with a translator, so sorry if there are any spelling errors.
Would you recommend them for just listening to music, I don't really produce much. In the physical section these are very pretty.
They sound like $hit for music Thank you for these details. I was looking at the the Audio Technica M20X I need a accurate monitor for music streaming.
I really confused. Behringer BH470 and Superlux HD681 same price in my country. Which one is better?
Sound is subjective, but I would recommend the HD681 as it has superior frequency and dynamic response that can be EQ'd to your preferences.
Behringer👍
would you recommend this over the samson sr850 ?
SR850 has more bas response and more clarity in the mids and highs. I would choose the SR850 over the BH470.
Behringer 470 or Beyerdynamic DT240 Pro? Just for music listening, rock, blues.
Great review!
Thanks! Did you ever get a chance to check out those HD280s?
@@askdrtk Yes sir, I tried both ath m40x and hd280 pro. I must say that even though the clamping, I went with m40x due to clarity. hd280 pro was a little bit muddy.

My pleasure. The M40x are still my favorite natural sounding headphone in a reasonable closed-back design. Enjoy!
Are these good for practicing (bass guitar) flat out ?

That's surprising, since they make such great amps.
I agree, it is unfortunate these headphones did not perform well. I have used some very good gear from Behringer (and associated brands) over the years. Perhaps some of their other headphones are superior...I am planning to test others in the future. Cheers!
What about BH470NC?@@askdrtk
Please make a review for BH770
Great video can you test the Sennheiser hd560s i would really like to see how accurate these are. Thanks

Thank you for this... they look great but the sound leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't feel safe mixing with these
Glad to help out...and I agree, not my recommendation for critical listening... Cheers!

Fabulosa reseña amigo. Usted si sabe de lo que habla. Muchas gracias.
Much appreciated, I'm glad you enjoyed my review. Cheers!
hey really want metal silver headphones, budget under $200 please give me any recommendation, wanted the audio technica m50s but out of stock
A good option would be the Shure SRH940 at $199 - amazon link: amzn.to/40BNLfm or Shure website link: www.shure.com/en-MEA/products/headphones/srh940?variant=SRH940-E to check them out.
@@askdrtk in my country it's about $400 dollar 🥲 any others recommendations? i'm gonna use it to DJ, please help

bh470 is good for only playing guitar and also playing piano?
It wouldn't be my recommendation as the midrange is muffled which will make it difficult to hear what is happening with those instruments. Audio-Technica M20x would offer clearer sound with better detail in this price range.
@@askdrtk Thank you for your humble comment.
Thank you, great review! Definitely NOT buying these...
Do you prefer bh470 or bh770? i need quick answer please. Or you suggest me another one?
need better quality but not expensive
In this price range I recommend the Audio-Technica M20x. They are widely used in studios, have a good sound profile, and have proven to be durable given their price.
@@askdrtk BH470 cost like $20 here while M20x is $40 - $70. Are you sure they are $20??
Behringer👍
Thank you.
Glad to help out! Sorry for the late response, I have been off with an injury for a while and am slowly catching up... Cheers!

I totally disagree with you 🙄They are 7/10 for listening to music etc off a tablet ..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ok so they are shit, got it
😂
They don't have enough high frequencies, so I won't buy them😀
The highs are definitely muffled on these, not my choice either...
These make a good lofi “re-amping” effect that you can print back into the daw… if you could afford an expensive binaural mic hahahaha
I hadn’t thought of that…great idea! lol…
