A closer look at the Behringer HPS3000

Design and build

The cups are oval-shaped and fit comfortably over the ears. The size of the capsule is 40 mm and is large enough to cover large and small earlobes. The one-sided cable can resist tangling and you don’t have to worry about wasting an awful lot of time untying the knots formed when the gear was residing in your bag.
The headphones are also highly durable and last for a long time and fit your active life-style. One features that justifies the notion that the Behringer HPS3000 is made for professionals and casual music lovers is that, it has both a 1/4 inch and a 1/8 inch TRS adapter.

Audio quality

Even though the Behringer HPS3000 is not equipped with noise cancellation, it is surprisingly quiet even when there is ambient noise. This makes it ideal for people who wish to list to music or pod-casts when they are commuting.
The high-definition bass can produce deep bass and you will love listing to all genres of music with the ultra-wide frequency response. It is definitely a high fidelity piece of audio equipment, which has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz along with a maximum power handling of 100mW. The highs and mids sound good, but if when volume is turned up too much you might feel like that sound is muddled.

However, if one considers the low price, one wouldn’t expect it to have premium features like detachable cups and casing for portability. However, since these headphones have rugged build, you can always carry them in your bag or sport them around your neck when you are travelling.

If you compare the performance of the Behringer HPS3000 with other expensive Behringers, you will notice that the bass response is a bit light, however is not that bad considering the price and pretty good for casual listening. It is perfectly adequate for home hobby playing and recording and could suffice the needs of professionals who are not looking for anything fancy.
