You can rest easy at night knowing your little one is sleeping on a mattress manufactured using nursery grade materials only. Nearly every recording studio and radio station has a pair attached to the mixing board or sitting in the recording booth. I'm not sure why there is so much criticism of the mattress- young babies are supposed to have a firm mattress and this is just that. Although we appreciated compact, well-made carrying cases, we also allowed for larger cases within reason.All of the materials feel extremely good quality — this is definitely one of the comfier travel cots that we've used. Travel cots are an on-the-go sleeping option that means you won’t have to rely on sleeping arrangements at your destination.

Detailed, clear, perceptually accurate sound: No frequency range (highs, mids, lows) overpowers another, instruments sound like they do in real life, and there is a sense of instrument placement in a three-dimensional space, rather than a flat wall of sound.

If you’re looking for something to monitor your band while you’re recording and editing your project, the MDR-7506 is a fantastic and affordable choice. The package includes two types of earpads (isolating pleather and cooling, breathable mesh) to ensure extended listening comfort, and the EQ presets in the Edifier app allow you to tune the sound to suit each type of earpad.

It conveniently folds back down in the same amount of time, too, although it is worth noting this model folds down to a large flat shape, like a suitcase, making better suited to sliding into a car boot or under a bed than taking on public transport. The easier and quicker the better — especially when you’ve got a wriggling toddler to put down or even a screaming newborn.
