HOT GEAR TASCAM TH-06 Bass XL Monitoring Headphones TASCAM has released the TH-06 Bass XL monitoring head- phones, which offer enhanced bass response for the deep lows needed for producing genres such as EDM, hip-hop, metal, and R&B. The TH-06s employ a custom 45-mm neodymium-magnet driver and feature Bass XL, a special voicing that delivers enhanced low frequency response for improved dynamic range and clarity with minimal distortion. The headphones are lightweight and feature high-quality ear cups that can rotate 180 degrees. A special sewing process around the edge tightly stitches them around a stainless-steel frame for extra cushion. Combined with a strong, flexible, lightweight manganese headband, this ensures a comfortable fit. The headphones’ internal connections use OFO oxygen-free copper wire core. The 3 m cable gives plenty of room to move around and comes with an 1/8-in. connector and 1/4-in. adapter.
