You can get them for close to half that price.

EDIT - They are $295 at DJ Warehouse here , and I'm sure you can find them for even less.

Allans music, they are pricey too on everything they have i think, damm buggers. but will look into DJ warehouse tho thanks for that.

even a google search has them listed everywhere as studio or professional monitoring headphones:

Don;t know where you;re going but they're not giving you good info, probably because they don;t sell them and can only think they're trying to sell you something else.

I'll reiterate what I said earlier though:

Their detail is simply stunning - I hear things on them I can;t hear through my monitors but they are not accurate for mixing IMO, and it's mainly due to the fact they are closed back.

My mate has lent me his AKG271's for now, im stil on the look for the sonys before i commit to anything but.

Again many thanks for the info chaps, really appreciate it.

Interesting you mention Beyernynamic Dezma. I just started using my first pair of stuio headphones this week, the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, and I'm not sure what to think. I've never used a pair of studio headphones, only DJ headphones, so I don't have anything to compare it to but it just seems the mids and highs are very distinct and crisp but the bass seems a bit lost. I'm sure there is a breaking in period where you must adjust to using them until you know them, just like any setup so I'm going to give them some more time. Curious how would you compare DT 770s against the more expensive DT 880s you recommended? I have 30 days in which I can return these so I'd love to get your input.

I'm currently using the DT770 pros and you need to get used to them. Wear them in a bit and you'll REALLY start to hear/feel the bass. The bass response on these things is beast. Bass isn't lost at all once you realize the difference from DJ and studio headphones.

Comparing them to the closed DT880's, i heard a difference in mainly the higher end being crispier. The open back DT880 Pros though are on a totally different level. Quite possibly best sets I've heard since AKG 701s

Thanks Lindo. I'm starting to understand now about getting used to them. I forced myself to wear them last night for a few hours and listened to a lot of different material and slowly my ears starting locking in on the bass.
