I wouldn't. Take them back as soon as you receive them. Those MDR-V700DJ's are overhyped and overrated.

its true, the 700s are way overpriced. the only reason is they "look cool" sound quality isnt bad, but its definatly not the best. and the durability on them really blows. Mine cracked and everyone else that i know that has a pair cracked as well. that wasnt the worst part, i duct tapped them, ect. but a month after that the left phone went out. And this was only a year after i bought them. I just rescently replaced them with the 280 pros. Completely different. And completly better. 280s are sooo clear, and the bass is wickedly sharp. Plus the isolation on them is ridiculous. go with the 280s. best phones on the market.

HD-25 dealer in NY

mOsh - try www.etronics.com - they are in NYC I believe, they have the Sennheiser HD-25 on their website for 145. I got my Senn HD-280 from them for 75 - no problems at all with my online order or the headphones, received in 7 days by $6 UPS ground. Presumably you will be able to go their actual store location. B and H Photo Video www.bhphotovideo.com in NY might have them too.

The 280's work fine but are sort of big, the HD-25 presumably has even better sound and is smaller which could be a plus for DJ gigs.

etronics has the worst service. but if youre intown maybe its worth a try. i know amazon sometiems sells the 280s for 70 dollars shipped so try http://www.agiprodj.com/

excellent personal service. i knwo they haev the silver ones for 95 shipped and probably the balcks for 80 or 85 shipped

I also bought my HD-25's from www.etronics.com, I never had any problems with them. I read a few negative reviews, and it appears they no longer stock the HD-25's. damn good deal on those phones, when they're in stock, they sell em for ~$150!

thanks for the help but I'm going on the Technics RP DJ 1210 Headphones and I can't find it in NY or NYC /:

i'd say go with the hdj1000s. i own a pair and it is durable and the sound quality is amazing. noise reduction is really good as well.

the only con i have about the hdj1000 is that it is rather heavy and when worn for long hours can be quite a burden to the head.

yeah, the pioneers get a bit uncomfortable if you wear them for long long periods (2hrs+) but aprart from that they are fantastic.

Sony don't last very long..I'm using Technics 1210RPDJ(?) And they're really strong! Go for them.

interesting to follow this discussion, even it doesn't get me any wiser..

I'm about to buy me some new headphones, but i realy dunno what i should go for now...

It stands between
Sony's MDR V700 and
Pioneer's HDJ 1000

I mean the Sony headphones looks realy cool, and so many well known dj's use them, so it can't be teh shit.
But after reading on about their huge bass reflection and stuff i'm not quite sure anymore..

So now i'm thinking more of buying the pioneers, cuz i don't whant that heavy bass i think.. heh
but then i hear Pioneer is less confortable to wear..

..so what should i go for?

ps. i'm going down town tomorrow to try out each of em..

i hear from alot of people that both sony and pio sound similar. plus you wont be listening to a well burned in headphone so the bass response among other things is gonna get even louder when they are broken in.

if you want balanced sound get the sennheiser hd-280.

Agreed, I've been using the HD-280 for about 2 months, I have no problems at all, very clear with nice bass response.

as said earlier, i was going to try out both
MDR-V700 and HDJ-1000
and so i did..

but, i was kinda surprised
i mean, the sound in both was nice, not that dif. in my ears.
but the thing that surprised me was how unconfortable they wore on my ears!!

could be that i'm justed used to something else.
but the headphone cop goes around the ear on those phones i got atm,
and on both Sony & pioneer the cop is on your ear, and to around as i want.

so you probaly say, why don't use those you already have?
and thats maybe so.. but they cost maybe 1/10 of The Sony Headphones so the sound qual sucks compare to them.. (or they should.. )

therfor i wonder if some you of know any other headphones that has a different shaped headphone-cop that don't lay directly on you air?

this post may be irrelevant since i use my headphones religiously at work, school, and home. . . . .but the plastic pieces on both ends of the PIONEER black band can come off if you are not careful and pull on it. There is only tape under the plastic to stick it to the black band.

PM me if i dont make any sense

cheers.!
