My good people over at Allen & Heath were able to send me a set of Xone XD-53 headphones for a full written review and I decided to complete another first impressions/unboxing video to show the masses what we are working with. The headphones are advertised as the top-of-the-line Allen & Heath DJ Headphones with 53mm drivers and all coming in at a price of $199. Video Inside.

Last year we brought you a complete review of the Xone flagship professional DJ headphones, the XD:53. We thought they were almost perfect, but did not include a detachable cable which is usually the first point of failure on most professional DJ headphones. Thankfully Allen & Heath have decided to right the wrong by updating the XD:53 to include the detachable/replaceable cable and updating the color scheme with a new gunmetal look. Check out the press release, intro video, and price after the jump.
