Mix-Quality Headphones with 36.7dB of Passive Attenuation
EX29 isolation headphones are a perennial favorite here at Sweetwater. The latest model, the Direct Sound EX29 Plus, gives music lovers and audio professionals better performance than ever: better isolation (36.7dB) to keep click bleed out of your tracks and extraneous noise out of your ears; better comfort to weather those marathon mixing and tracking sessions; better sound quality, courtesy of a pair of 20–20 High Precision Audio (HPA) drivers and premium detachable audio cable; and a more contemporary look. A gold-plated 1/8" jack with a screw-on 1/4" adapter gives you the flexible connectivity you need.
Upgraded for Premium Performance
The new Direct Sound EX29 Plus has been overhauled for even better isolation, comfort, convenience, and sound quality. Veteran users will instantly notice this model’s more comfortable headband and flatter-response HPA drivers, which go a long way to make those marathon work and listening sessions more productive and enjoyable. The next big feature is the aircraft-grade aluminum cable connector with premium detachable cable, which ensures your EX29 Pluses stay sounding great session after session.
Passive attenuation for tracking and live use
The EX29 Plus closed-back headphones were developed expressly to isolate sound. Their specially designed ear cushions are comfortable for the listener, yet act as a superb barrier between the headphone’s speakers and your live microphones. And while other headphones sometimes measure their noise-reduction capabilities at one specific frequency, the EX29 Plus headphones offer 36.7dB of passive isolation over a wide frequency range.
Mix reliable
While the EX29 Plus headphones are great for musicians in the studio, they also deliver crisp sound for the engineer when it comes time to mix. Pull on your pair and hear everything accurately reproduced from 20Hz–20kHz. The HPA 40mm drivers with 1,000mW input power were carefully designed for high-fidelity performance.
Designed for comfort
While many headphones deliver great sound, the level of comfort they offer is often the tipping point in determining whether they’re really worth your investment or not. Sure, they sound great, but if you can’t comfortably wear them for long sessions when it really counts, then what’s the point? When you want closed-back headphones designed with wearability in mind, look to the EX29s. The newly designed adjustable headband lets you position the earcups in just the right place, while heavily padded ear cushions create a closed-back chamber of sound.
Easy to use
We’ve all had that fumbling moment when we’ve picked up a pair of headphones and scrutinized each side of them for the little “L” and “R” markings before putting them on. The EX29 Plus headphones save that time in the studio with their innovative “red is right” feature: the inside ear panel of the right channel is covered with bright red fabric. Just tell the musicians “red is right,” and you can be sure they’re hearing exactly the mix you’ve dialed in for them.
For pro and personal audio devices
Sometimes you need excellent, isolated sound outside the studio — like when you’re checking a mix on your phone or mixing out in the wild. EX29 Plus headphones are built for pro and personal audio devices, with a gold-plated 1/4" adapter that screws on over the 1/8" jack for great sound wherever you work.
