Stanton or Sennheiser headphone

Ok I know there is that big thread about headphones but I didn't found anything about the stanton dj pro 2000.

I heard lots of good thing about the Sennheiser HD280 pro but what made me change my mind on them is the price and Mr Tiesto himself.

There your goign to say don't look at big Dj they have free stuff and sometimes they use that only because they receive some free.

I was at the Aria in Montreal June 11 and Tiesto was there. And he was using the Stanton Dj pro 2000, they are pretty easy to recognise anyway.

Can anyone compre the 2 ?? If I buy here the stanton are like 50$ cheaper so thats why I was wondering if I should go for the stanton or not and since tiesto was using them the must be not too bad ???

Any comparison ??
And no the pionners HDJ1000 are too expensive for me here even if I whould have like to have them.

Big DJs often get payed to use a certain band and model of headphones.

I have the Sennheiser HD280s, and they're amazing. Worth every penny.

go w/ the sennheiser hd-280 b/c they sound way better and feel more comfortable.

BTW, At one of the record shops i go to they have the stanton dj2000 headphones on all of their decks. They sound fairly good and seem durable. (i say this b/c god knows how many people have used them for listening to records there)

BS. If you're going to spend an ass load on headphones, forget just getting a pair that "can get the job done." Get yourself a pair that sounds damn good and is nice and comfortable. Don't just settle for a pair of cans because some superstar DJ is wearing them. Like someone else said, they often get paid to wear those headphones. If big time DJ's really used headphones only for their quality, then explain to me why so many still use v700's.

Btw, not to start a flame war in here or anything, but Tiesto isn't known for his smooth mixing. So maybe those headphones can't get the job done after all?
