How is the headphone Technics RP-DH1200?

Hello PPl..

what do you think about the TECHNICS RP-DH1200 Headphone?
do you have recommendation for some other headphone??

thank u.. =]

Sony MDR-7506 FTW.

I have also heard good things about the technics, but I cannot comment personally.

Jarv

the newer silver ones i like and i'll probably buy a set to have as a backup pair

the older black ones are alright, i know a few djs who swear by them
never really liked the fit and the sound left a little to be desired

mdr-7506 FTW!!

I had mine right next to me when I saw the thread. I love mine. Never had any problems with them. I have had them over 1 year now, no cracks and still sound awesome. The cool thing about these headphones as far as how well they are built is I can't even count the number of times I have fell asleep with these things on. A couple times I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I may have broke them cause I was laying on top of them. But they don't even have one little crack in them. Amazing!! But, I heard alot of good things about the Sony MDR-7506 headphones, so I would look at the reveiws on those before I made a purchase. I actully asked for those for christmas from the family because there were such great reveiws on them. And they are ALOT cheaper than the TECH's too.



Rock On,

The MDR-7506 are friggin hideous though.

I own a pair of DJ-1210 and DH1200.

I absolutely love both pairs, but the DH1200s are my favorite. They are solid, built to last and have impeccable Bass response without drowning out the highs. I have had mine 12 months now and the tension in the headphones has remained as they were day 1.

The DJ1210s are lightweight, and a little too lightweight for me, but great for using while at work 9-5. I love the swivel on these as well.

sorry to break the bad news (no pun intended)

but they break. saw 2 seperate pairs from 2 seperate users snap. one of them actually snapped during its first gig out, a week from being bought. the other lasted 6 months.

I wanna know what they really used their headphones for :P

I've had the 1210's for a good four or five years now - and I love them to pieces - and they AREN'T in pieces!

Well, I did sit on the headphone jack when it was plugged in sideways on a plane, which meant a bit of fiddly re-soldering, but now snapping//poppping/blowing etc.

I got them right after I had the Sony 700's, as I didn't like how mushy the bass sounded in them. Sure, the 700 has loud bass, but it takes over everything else.

So, I tried the 1210's, and fell in love. Which isn't that easy when it's just a pair of cans we're talking about!

But, they sound great, sit comfortably on my head for hour, and don't give you that bed-head look when you're done with them.

Until someone convinves me otherwise, I'll probably use these for the rest of my DJing 'career'.

this isn't about the old durable RPDJs, rather the new shiny RPDHs. and i seen 2 of 'em break.

i am a loyal fan of my Sony MDR-V7506s. great for spinning and producing. another safe bet is the Sennheiser HD25, which i don't like cuz i crank 'em up whenever i use them and i want to keep my hearing.

Ah. Sorry...

Need to read further than one line in, huh?

iv had these for 6 months and the calble inside just broke...


:/

I have a pair of Technics RP-DJ1200 headphones that I've owned for like 7 or 8 years. I've put them through hell and the still work/sound amazing. I'm not sure how much they differ from the RP-DH1200 but from my experience Technics makes a decent quality headphone.

You clearly know nothing about anything!

i've had mine since they first came out which was about 2 yrs ago? and its starting to show signs of wear. the left cup is displaying slight sound distortion. where as my RP-DJ1200's i've had for at least 6 years and theres nothing wrong with them at all

i've got a pair of rpdh-1200's. great pair of cans, excellent bass response, detachable cable, gold-plated connectors. i can't hate on the 7506's though. it's all up to personal preference.

I wanted to say something like that, but I did'nt want to be disrespectfull, so you said it for me. I have'nt heard one bad thing about them.

Had an RP 1200 for about 9 months. Put them through A LOT of abuse.

Pros:
-decent sound quality
-pretty sturdy

Cons:
-not good for long wear
-earcup not wide enough to drown out all outside noise

Mine is unfortunately broken now... Only one side works. Well other side works, but only if I shift them. Some wiring is loose somewhere.

Don't know why but just lately my manners are failing me and I am becoming bitter and twisted!!

I sort of took a leaf out of Mikey Mike's book.....

I thought about getting a pair of these (to supplement Senn. HD280's), but haven't quite yet.

They look nice, probably fit better than my 280's (which stick out around the temple area and looks retarded), but I've read that they are somewhat heavy. As far as sound quality, they're supposed to be decent, and are a perfectly acceptable alternative for people who don't want to buy Sony (like me).

After reading varying accounts of headphones either lasting a really long time or breaking within 6 months, I've come to the conclusion that if it doesn't break within the first 6 months, it probably will last a while. Most warranties should last at least 6 months, right?

Best advice I can offer is still to try them out (and other models under consideration), if possible.

i have a bigass head with big 'ol ears, and the earcups are plenty big to fit. however, they're kind of tight on my head so i agree, they're not that good for long wear (probably because of the head size though). they are excellent at cutting out outside noise though, imo.

Ive had mine for about 9 months now and they are still awesome, I like them a lot. They have yet to break down, although theyve only left my room a few times.

I got a pair, and i must say they they are the best headphones i had up to date. They fit over my head perfectly.

The only thing is that they are a bit heavy, and friggin expensive.

I'd recommend them to anyone.

Just saw Sander use them not too long ago.

^Expensive is Senn HD25. Around 300 bucks CDN.

If you want a headphone that is guaranteed to filter out outside noise, get a Stanton. Huge ear piece

Depends on which model you are talking about. I had the 3000 and had to use my warantee 2 times, and after a year they still snaped.

Not worth the money.
