MoreMe Standard Headphones Description
What They Are:
They're called "MoreMe" headphones because they bring out the detail
range of frequencies that you need to hear when you're tracking.
"MoreMe" headphones use 32 Ohm, 2-1/2" drivers (a little over 60mm), so
they'll work with almost any amplifier and you can use several pair
without loading anything too hard. They can hit 105dB (loud enough to
cause ear damage). They have a "Stereo/Mono" switch with easily
detachable earpieces, so that two people can use one set of phones (for
recording choirs and backup singers). They also have metal adjustable
earcup holders (not plastic), so you can bend them to clamp on your
head really tight. The MoreMe's have pretty decent isolation, and a low
enough price (i.e., dirt cheap) to ensure that even the smallest home
studios can afford to have a few sets around without robbing their
piggy banks.
I've added a nice little touch: the MoreMe labels are color-coded. Most
people don't realize that phones with single cords always have the cord
coming out of the left earpiece. Like Sony, I've made the label for the
left earpiece blue, and the right earpiece label is red (red usually
stands for right). The Studio Deluxe version also has big 3/4" circles
that indicate "Left" and "Right". The left circle is blue and the right
circle is red. The Studio Deluxe models also feature added insulation
inside the earcups to improve midrange smoothness and increase
isolation.
What They Aren't:
So what's the downside? They have a damn short coil cord (which can
actually save them from being stepped on). No, they don't sound as good
as the Sony 7506s or the Sennheisers or the AKG's, ut for tracking,
they're good enough (and cheap enough) for most people to use and get
outstanding results. The manufacturer claims 20Hz to 20kHz, but it's
actually more like 30 or 40Hz to around 15 or 16kHz. The Studio Deluxe
headphones have a little more bass extension, and slightly smoother
response. I wouldn't recommend using either of them for final mixes or
mastering (I wouldn't use any phones for that), but for tracking, they
work great (or at least, they work "good enough"). At ITR Studio, we've
used them as tracking phones for groups signed to Sony, Epic, and MCA,
and nobody's complained so far.
The Warranty:
I guarantee them to work reliably for 6 months. If they break for any
reason during that period, you'll get a free replacement, but you pay
the shipping. If they break after six months (but within the first
year), I'll replace them for $5, plus shipping. If they break anytime
after the first year, I'll replace them for $10, plus shipping.
