So we’ve been planning a recording for a while now – the Release of Skate Babble really got us in the creative mood so we got our gear together and booked a date to start working on a full length album.  I mixed the last record with some pretty ghetto sony headphones that have just about seen their last use so I talked to Jon to see if I could get my hands on a pair of Nixon Headphones to put to the test.

Jon came through with a set of the Nixon Nomadic Headphones – I picked them up Sunday morning and headed out to The Baron’s studio.  Unboxing them was awesome.  I have to say that I was immediately surprised by the weight and heft of the box – I hadn’t seen these in person so I was not sure what to expect.  The box is awesome to keep you extra cables and stuff in too by the way.  Anyways… back the the headphones – I’m not really a hiphop kind of guy so I was thinking that they looked a little to hifi fresh for me but then I tried them on and had to change my mind – they can go either way – hesh audiofile or… Fresh DJ type.

When I plugged them in at the studio I was pretty stoked to find the volume knob on the side of the casing.  It’s pretty cool – you just twist the outer case and hey! volume up, volume down.  This was wicked during the guitar takes because I could just adjust on the fly without having to put my guitar down and mess around on the computer.

It seems almost weird to mention the audio quality once you see how high the attention to detail is on the case and construction of the headphones – but it’s there all right.  If you want a full disclosure on the audio spectrum these suckers put out then head on over to the website ( http://ca.nixonnow.com/headphones/ )

These headphones don’t really do much in the noise cancellation department but for city travelling this is an advantage ( don’t get smoked by oncoming traffic yeah? )  They wouldn’t block out much on a plane though.  This didn’t pose a problem in the studio even though we were recording live off the floor (V drums are pretty useful).

The biggest plus that these suckers have is: when the session is over I can just plug them right into my Iphone and they have all the same functionality that the regular white earbuds have – Mic, start stop skip track button and all.

Here’s a list of all the features:

• custom full size volume knob
• synthetic leather headband
• memory foam ear cushions
• patent pending ball and socket design for unlimited range of fit
• custom folding hinge detail
• custom removable cord: 1.5m braided cloth
• driver type: 40mm
• 3.5mm jack iphone compatible
• 1khz sensitivity: 103db
• frequency response: f20-20,000 hz
• weight: approx. 245g
