Sony MDR 7505

have had these for a long time.. love em. but i have one complaint
if I wear them for too long. they start to hurt my ears :/
does anyone else have these hphones and the same prob? makes me sad. I might need to consider new hphones with the same quality but more comfort >:/
i use them for DJing and for listening to music. and also gaming

Do you by any chance mean the MDR-7506? I've heard of the MDR-7509, but not 7505. I'm probably just dumb.

Ugh, the MDR-7505 looks like an MDR-V500DJ, but with *slightly* different drivers. I've heard that 'phone briefly, and I didn't like it much. It suffers from the same muddy, overboosted, soundstage-squashing midrange (especially lower midrange) and the lack of true low-end extension as the rest of the MDR-VCRAPDJ line. In other words, the ENTIRE VCRAPDJ series places the entire midrange (especially lower-midrange) so far forward that whatever bass and treble coming out of those 'phones end up sounding dull and lifeless.

And speaking of comfort, none of the comfortable headphones that I've come across are at all suitable for DJing - and all headphones that are suitable for DJing can get uncomfortable after a while. There's no getting around that. And most of the great-sounding headphones require a dedicated amp in order to sound much better than lesser-sounding headphones. You may want to get three pairs of headphones - a pair of DJ-specific headphones for just DJing, and a great-sounding audiophile set of 'phones for strictly music listening, and a third, cheap pair of 'phones just for gaming.
