Review on 🎧 Immerse Yourself in Stereo Bliss with Roland RH-300 Headphones! by Karen Perez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice sound but not ideal for playing a digital instrument.

I bought these headphones for my Roland LX708 so I can practice piano anytime without disturbing anyone. These are closed-back headphones, so sound penetration is minimal (you have to be right next to the person wearing the headphones to hear anything at all). The downside is that they can get hot over the ears after prolonged use. They're quite comfortable, sitting around the ears instead of over them, but they're not as light and comfortable as the closed Sennheisers. (I recently bought a Sennheiser 569 and they are very comfortable, but they have a completely different sound.) The Roland 300 changes the sound, making it louder but much more enjoyable. During rehearsals I noticed some amazing distortions. I wouldn't recommend the Roland 300 for rehearsals. The sound doesn't translate as well to an acoustic piano, and that can mean playing a digital piano won't improve your sound when playing a real grand piano. The Roland 300 is great and produces great sound. But having played acoustic pianos since 1972, I'm very comfortable (pun intended) with the sound they produce, and it seems a bit artificially amplified when I count myself practicing on the Roland. For most people I would say that the Roland 300 is without a doubt the headphone of choice. Especially if they just want to listen to music. For people who are serious about improving their sound, this might not be the place to practice.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • No mold required
