Headphones

For thoes of you that spin/produce what headpones do you use.

My MDR-700's just broke, and im probably going to get another pair unless any one has better suggestions. My friend just got the sennheiser 25-sp which are nice, but super fragile.

I use the Technics RP-DH 1200s ... I used to use the Sony 700s, but those got stolen from my car one night, but honestly...i love the technics...so comfortable.

i honestly dont think you need them for djing, for studio production maybe but not really necessary for dj gigs... $100/200 headphones will do just fine. a shitty mixer is a shitty mixer anyway, you dont see tiesto's beatmatching improve due to ill headphones right ?

Posted by sandstorm03 on May-10-2005 15:09:

have u used the sony 7506's or Sennheiser 280's?

Chill Tae...I'm not getting them nor would I recommend them for DJing. As a matter of fact if I saw somebody DJing with those I'd smack them upside the head and steal those cans. They gotta sound sweet though.

Stay away from Sony's...breaks at the hinge
Stay away from Pioneers...mud for sound
Sennheisers...nice sound but I'm partial to the swivel cup

so...

I'm gonna pick me up a pair of these...

good sound...good feel

I totally agree with this accessment, but to add, Sennheisers also have a tendency for the headband to crack (not break).

I know my next headphones are gonna be the Tech's, unless something new comes out to blow me away sometime soon.

i've used my mdr-v6 for close to 3 years now...and they are still as good as new....not fancy looking....but definitely quality soundwise and stand the test of time

Posted by Zack Roth on May-10-2005 16:11:

I have a pair of teh Pioneers right now and love them. the sound is very tight, no complaints. I used to have the older, smaller technics headphones which I was in love with. Nice and light, not clunky like the new ones they came out with.

Posted by dj tek on May-10-2005 16:13:

i have the audio technica's i dont think its available in the states or maybe i just couldnt find a link to them.... lightest headphones ive ever used and cant really complain about the sound quality. akko's mom's picked me up when she went to japan.. for only like $60....

i'd recommend the sony mdr-900.... never seen anyone that broke this model... usually the 700's break like a mothafucka....

lee,

sennheiser hd-280 is what i've been using this past year. its true the headband of mine did break, but u can get replacement parts for them. all i can say, is that they sound really nice and crisp. fuck all the sony's, except um.... that one model the 7506's, those sound nice (i haven't tried the 900's yet). hd-280's swivel, are somewhat light and comfortable. only negative really is that it lacks somewhat in bass because it gives a flatter more accurate sound, but thats not really a negative by me cuz i produce also, so its better for monitoring. don't get those pioneers, lol... waste of money. people who swear by them haven't heard good headphones b4... lol.

as for the hd-25sp, don't get those. if ur gonna go for the hd-25's get the hd-25 pro. i haven't tested them yet, but its supposed have great sound. those will probably be my next pair....

how much different are the y from the sp?

Posted by trancintaiwan on May-10-2005 19:08:

sp is crappier build... and from what i heard, the sound isn't as good, though i haven't tried it so i can' so for sure. also, the sp's are given away for free when u ride concorde's thats why if u go to ebay, u'll see them listed as hd-25sp concorde..
