so yea... those DN-HP1000s look slick..

I just read the review of the Denon DN-HP1000 headphones in iDJ magazine. They like em, and mention that they can be strong contenders with the rest of the cans out there of the same class.
They've also got the largest drivers of them all (by only 3mm more though) and can do the 180 degree swivel on each earpiece.

I really like em design-wise and will prolly grab a pair to replace my HD280s as my DJing headphones, but still use my HD280s for produciton monitoring. Heck their CDplayers are doin great, the headphones must be awesome!!

Any1 else seen em? in person? tried em on? are they heavy? comfy? sound nice?

When are companies going to realise that plastic svivelling hinges are SHIT and break from stress

These will probably have exactly the same problem as the sony 700s and pioneer 1000s

^^ what are you proposing instead ?

Using metal for the joints... plastic for the rest to keep them light.

i think a great idea would be to insert a metal framework, like a stainless steel wire into the headband and into the sviwel mechanism, while leaving the the rest of it from plastic. that way it would become more durable and have acceptional weight

well since the swivel function isn't really necessary, im guessing hes advocating the sony v506/v6 style...

But i could be wrong.

Well that is what i use yes....but even the Hd25s movement makes sense

they look far too big & bulky! and look like they could be quite heavy too. think il stick with the tech's 1210!

people people...there's not need for metal...there are plastic polymers out there that can be used and will not break...the problem is that will make the headphones a bit more expensive than right now...

7506 forevah...actually has anyone tried the 7509? I've heard they have bigger drivers and theres a pretty big price difference ($90 or so)

Apparently the quality is higher.. they dont looks as hefty, more of a studio headphone maybe?

As soon as my 3000s are broken and out of warranty its v506's for me.

can you blame a guy if he's trying to deduce himself into buying the brand?

Exactly my thoughts. I don't like them, it's the simplicity of the 7506's for moi!

K.I.S.S. = Keep It Simple Stupid

people are dumb, they break shit

the less there is to break, the less it will break

which is why i'm a huge advocate of purpose built gear, none of this shit about mixers with 7890546789 built in effects

and which is why i love my sony mdr-v7506 (psst, they're light and they use metal)

they're also modular, if something breaks i order that part number off the schematic they include and can repair it myself
