Great sound and styling DJ headphones like Beats

Syllable G04 DJ headphones are surprisingly stylish for their low price and have been designed with commuters in mind. By balancing great sound quality with effective sound isolation, they should keep your music loud but other travelers happy. It is well made and comfortable but it's cheaper than beats and its bass is overwhelming.

Built from a combination of aluminum and leather, the Syllable G04 DJ headphones are incredibly well made and showed no signs of weakness or fraying throughout our testing. They’re lightweight yet stay firmly in place on your head thanks to a sturdy headband that’s height adjustable. We could use them on a treadmill without them slipping free, although the leather finish quickly gets clammy.
The cable, complete with its in-line remote, is removable, so you can swap it for a longer one if the bundled one meter wire isn't long enough. The remote is a one button affair, letting you play and pause with one press, move forward with a double tap or backwards with three taps, and we had no problems using it on iOS and Android devices.
In everyday use, the Syllable G04 DJ headphones were refreshingly effective at preventing sound leakage, even at high volumes. This makes them ideal for use on public transport. The leather cups create a comfortable seal around your ears, keeping sound out as well as keeping your audio in.
More importantly, sound quality is also excellent. There’s an impressive amount of bass, but only when tracks call for it. Acoustic songs are handled with care and none of the detail is lost. There’s ample volume, with the entire frequency range staying clean right up to high volumes.

Heavy bass makes for some pleasingly solid explosions and we want to be able to play music as well as enjoy thundering special effects. With the Syllable G04 DJ headphone excellent build quality, great comfort and sleek styling, there's very little not to like about them. Better still, their comfortable fit helps them block environmental noise more effectively than most other passive pairs. In a moderately noisy environment we'd choose them over the noise-cancelling G04, but Syllable makes better alternatives such as the folding, noise-cancelling G08 or their passive equivalents.
