With an even helping of tight bass, level mids, and sharp high tones, the TMA-1s complimented every genre of music we pumped through them, so we won't limit our recommendation of them to DJs alone.

It's ideal for DJs that need to hear the beat over a noisy sound PA system, but it's also good news if you listen to rock and dance music in a noisy workplace and need the volume.

My first feeling was "wow, it's like getting my home Bose home sound system plugged in my ears". The sound is amazing, very pure.

These cans may be marketed to DJ’s, but they have such fantastic midrange and treble response we think that audiophiles with a secret love for guttural, punchy bass will fall in love with them.

They are rugged, cool to the extreme – in a European, minimalist way – and quite fun to listen to. I wouldn’t call the TMA-1 a true audiophile headphone ... However, for the money, if there are tougher made phones out there with the sound quality these have, I haven’t seen them.
