I've lost all faith in headphones

I just got the Sony 7506's last week and have been using em and dont like em already. I'll try em out this weekend in a club enviroment and see how they perform but I'm ready to switch. so if someone ones to buy these after I get my next set of headphones, I'll be willing to sell em for $80. They are in mint condition and have zero scratches on them.

I'm biting the bullet and going to get the Sennheiser HD25. If these dont work out, then I'm gonna go back to the pioneers. I want the Sennheiser HD25 cuz all parts are replacable and these have gotten the highest reviews 10/10 on all areas. The only problem I have with stupid dj headphones is they break like bitches.

If anyone can get these for a good price, please let me know. the cheapest I found em for is $176 without shipping.

If you are going to bite the bullet, why not these, Sennheiser HD650 Professional.

The Technics are the best headphones I ever used! You should've gotten those.

Why dont you like the 7506?

because you recommended them to me.....

I just dont like the fit. I'm use to a circular type of fit since using the sony 700's and the pioneer 1000's. this sony has a flat fit over my ear and to me, it is not that conformtable cuz I think the sound isn't balanced. I dont mix in my headphone ever so this has an impact on me. I always wear my headphones just a bit over my ear so I can hear the sound from the monitors and headphones at the same time in the same ear. with our ears canals having a circular shape and the heaphones being flat, I have to find the EXACT spot and I have a hard time find that spot everytime. call me picky, but I think you should be comfortable with your equipment, definately the headphones if anything since you cant lug around your cdj's and decks everywhere unless you are electrophile.

I need something more dj friendly. having the 2 cables would be annoying since I take my headphones off and on all the time.

Missed that part of the phones.

Mike I have those and can confirm that that is a good price (total) for retail granted the shipping isn't more than $8 ground.

Next time you should get some like these...

i have the sennheiser hs600s, which are nice for casual listening, but the open-air is not made for mixing or heavy bass. i prefer my mdrv900s when listening to edm in all environments

I know most DJ's on here prefer the Stannheisers but I love my AKG271 stereo's. And most people thing they are ugly enough that its rare someone will want to get their paws all over em.
The comfort for extended periods of time sold me over the Stanns, and I like how they fit over you ear instead of just on it.

Alot of people use the Sony's , but they start to hurt my ear after a while and they do break like a SOB. I am curious to use the ultrasone... supposed to be the shit...
