Review: Ministry Of Sound MOS006 Headphones [Gear]

With a whole range of headphones available on the market it's way too difficult to purchase the right headphones for you and what you want to get out of them without doing a little bit of research prior. As a music magazine, we are approached by many companies to review their products and give you the insider information from dedicated music listeners. This time, we are going back to the Ministry Of Sound range to take a look at the gorgeous looking MOS006 model.

Ministry Of Sound launched a whole range of swish looking headphones to celebrate their 20th anniversary. One of which is the MOS006, and another is the MOS005's, both models have been sent into AltSounds for testing. Check out the review for the MOS005 review on AltSounds to get an idea of what we were up against for the range here. Upgrading the aesthetics and sound quality is the MOS006 model. The jump in price really does make a difference. When buying any musical product, the more money chucked into it, the better the outcome.

The ultra soft dual foam headband provides your head with a cushion of comfort whether they sit on top of your head, or resting around your neck. This can be one of the most important aspects to consider when buying a new set of headphones. Who wants to carry around and wear something that is uncomfortable? (Minus the women who always decide to wear the tightest, most uncomfortable high-heels on a night out - to which 1am creeps up and they end up taking them off as some beautiful blisters appear).

Delivering a punchy bass through the custom tweaked 50mm driver, the MOS006's really do give your audio senses a run for their money. On top of that the designers have really tapped into the right the look and feel for the Ministry brand. The smallest of touches with the super-clean, crisp Ministry Of Sound logo on the side of the headset really draw your attention to the detail provided in the headphones.

If you're a DJ or just the average joe looking for some new cans to plug into your iPod, then the Ministry Of Sound range is definitely worth a try. You get he comfort, the sound and fundamentally, the affordability of a top of the range headphone product. You can a pair of these for £39.99 your local HMV store.
