MoreMe Deluxe Headphones Details
These are the "Deluxe" version which features a padded headband and additional filler in the ear cups for more clarity in sound.
They're called "MoreMe" headphones because they bring out the detail range of frequencies that you need to hear when you're tracking. "MoreMe" headphones use 32 Ohm, 2-1/2" drivers (a little over 60mm), so they'll work with almost any amplifier and you can use several pair without loading anything too hard. They can hit 105dB (loud enough to cause ear damage).
They have a "Stereo/Mono" switch with easily detachable earpieces, so that two people can use one set of phones (for recording choirs and backup singers). They also have metal adjustable earcup holders (not plastic), so you can bend them to clamp on your head really tight. The MoreMe's have pretty decent isolation, and a low enough price (i.e., dirt cheap) to ensure that even the smallest home studios can afford to have a few sets around without robbing their piggy banks.
Added as a nice little touch: the MoreMe Deluxe labels are color-coded. Like Sony, the left circle is blue and the right circle is red (red usually stands for right). Most people don't realize that phones with single cords always have the cord coming out of the left earpiece.
The Studio Deluxe version also has a bold "L" on the left ear and "R" on the right. The Studio Deluxe models also feature a wider, nicely padded headband for additional comfort, a permanent 1/4" stereo plug, and insulation inside the earcup to improve midrange and increase isolation.
What They Aren't
So what's the downside? They have a damn short coil cord (which I immediately stretch as far as I can), a 1/8" and 1/4" adaptor (which can actually save them from being stepped on). No, they don't sound as good as the Sony 7506s or the Sennheisers or the AKGs. But for tracking, they're good enough (and cheap enough) for most people to use and get outstanding results.
The manufacturer claims 20Hz to 20kHz, but it's actually more like 30 or 40Hz to around 15 or 16kHz. The Studio Deluxe headphones have a little more bass extension, and slightly smoother response. We wouldn't recommend using either of them for final mixes or mastering (We wouldn't use any phones for that), but for tracking, they work great (or at least, they work "good enough").
