Hands-on review · DJ over-ear headphones
Verdict
The SMS Audio Street by 50 Pro DJ has rich, bass-heavy sound and sturdy build, but it's heavy, bulky to carry and can make ears ache over time.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about SMS Audio Street By 50 Pro DJ

  • Powerful audio performance with a deep, booming bass response that appeals to 'bass heads'
  • Exceedingly comfortable fit featuring ultra-plush memory foam ear pads suitable for long listening sessions
  • Highly effective passive noise isolation that successfully blocks out a significant amount of ambient noise
  • Durable and sturdy build quality with metal hinges and high-quality flexible plastic
  • Practical DJ-oriented design including flip-away ear cups for single-ear monitoring
  • Generous accessory package including two detachable cables (one coiled, one with inline mic), a hard-shell carrying case, and a cleaning cloth

What customers don't like about SMS Audio Street By 50 Pro DJ

  • Generally considered overpriced at its $299 launch price compared to non-celebrity-endorsed competitors
  • The heavily sculpted sound signature with extreme bass boost may not suit audiophiles or those seeking balanced audio
  • Relatively heavy and bulky design, which may cause discomfort on the crown of the head after extended use
  • The DJ-focused flip-away ear cup mechanism is reported to be slower to operate than traditional professional DJ models
  • Carrying case lacks a dedicated internal storage compartment for the included cables, leading to a messy packing experience

Verdict

The SMS Audio Street by 50 Pro DJ headphones feature professionally tuned 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a bass-heavy sound profile with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and 32 ohms impedance. These over-ear headphones are characterized by their durable build with metal hinges, rotating flip-away ear cups for single-ear monitoring, and dual-input jacks for daisy-chaining multiple headsets. Main pros include high-quality memory foam ear cushions for exceptional comfort, excellent passive noise cancellation, and a comprehensive accessory package featuring both a 3-click mic cable and a coiled DJ cord. However, some cons include their relatively bulky and heavy design even when folded, a high retail price compared to non-celebrity competitors, and a highly sculpted sound signature that may lack the clinical accuracy required by audio purists.
