The Xone XD2-53, Allen & Heath's replacement for the Xone XH-53s, have very obviously been designed as DJ headphones. Their detachable cable and rotating ear cups are a dead giveaway. That being said they'd look pretty cool in gunmetal grey on anyone, and with their low impedance they should work well on all sorts of mobile music devices. 

Their foldable design makes them easy to carry with you anywhere and for those who love to show off what they are wearing, the bold bright white XONE on the outer of the headband will leave people in no illusion as to what you are listing through. 

So whether you're rocking the decks at your favourite club or head-bobbing to your tunes on the tube, the Allen & Heath Xone XD2-53 headphones are well worth your attention.

What Allen & Heath Say:

They describe the Xone XD2-53 as having a 'circumaural design' which is just a fancy way of saying that they are full-size or over-ear headphones, and therefore by definition they offer a high degree of isolation from ambient noise that could spoil your listening pleasure. Allen & Heath say that their 53mm drivers offer "extremely high performance with an extended low frequency response." They talk up the comfort of the headphones saying their metal reinforced headband and soft ear pads have been designed for the task, and it is very clear why these are their flagship headphone product.
