Buyer Warning: Stanton ProDJ 3000 Headphones

I've had two pairs, both broken WAY too soon after WAY to little usage.

First one snapped off where it's adjustable, the second pair lost all sound to one of the cups and just now snapped on BOTH sides. I got the second pair because they were still under warranty. I wouldnt have never bought the second pair otherwise.



Even shittier is I'm competting in a competition this afternoon.



Do not buy Stanton 3000 headphones if you wish to own a quality product.

Dually noted..

That's why I have one set of Sony 7506's, and one set of Sony V6's..

They fucking suck. I bought a pair originally and the sound just suddenly shat out. First it was the bass, then the hi's and mids became completely inaudible. Shit cans, especially for the price you pay. Mine only lasted six months.

As if you'd compete in anything else?

I still dont understand why people buy such shit headphones while Sony is selling the MDR-7506

Sorry to hear that Dino. I'll give those Stanton's the finger next time I'm at Guitar Center.

OY!


Actually it looks like I made it to the next round. I dazzled them with banging jams they'd never heard. MUAHAHAH!

A gift, with a warranty. If you have some money you'd like to loan me for some 7506s however, I'd be more than happy go buy them!

Sorry about your luck Allied Nations. Although I do agree with you on the aspect of a poorly manufactured product, you do fail to mention the positive aspects (though few and far between).

I love the sound of the Stanton DJ Pro 3000's. They've been my babies for quite some time now. I love how they give that little rumble when you crank the volume. They're exceptionally comfortable, and just great sounding headphones.

However...

Within 2 years of using them, I am on my 8th pair. Yes, that's correct, you read that right: 8th pair.

Luckily, I live in Canada, and they had a warranty program in place so that if you break them, they over-the-counter exchange them on the spot for new ones. One store decided not to adhere to this policy so I had to find another place that had them to do the swap out once they inevitably broke, in the same spot, over and over again.

But hey, why listen to me: I've gone through 8 pairs of headphones. I MUST be rough with them right? Heh, unfortunately once again, I'm not. I baby my gear, way too much. I don't let anyone use my stuff, and I am constantly inspecting it to make sure everything is the way it should be.

I now have a backup pair that I constantly travel with just in case I break them during a gig. Headphones are quite important for DJ's and all

If you have an understanding store that you get your gear from who knows the trouble with them, no problem as they sound great. If you don't know, or aren't sure on the return policy for a product that WILL break eventually (usually it's sooner than later unfortunately) I'd choose a different set of cans.

Not to criticize your choice of cans Chris, but if I'm on my 8th pair of cans in 2 yrs, I'd seriously consider finding an alternative, no matter what the other good qualities that set of cans have.

If a pair of cans can't take some abuse, it's no good to me.

Warranty I haven't paid for more than one pair. Until the warrenty runs out I don't see any reason to bother with buying another pair really, as I said I love the sound.

I plan to get either the Pioneer or Technics after these inevitably break.

how long is your warranty?

Every time I got a new pair they would add the 1yr warrenty back on

I took advantage of that until Stanton realized it might not be a good idea.

"so what have we learnt today children"?

save your money and dont buy shit gear, then you wont have to worry about it for a few years.

oh btw Allied Nations save up for some food first might be the way to go though!

I have the 3000's. They broke and I had to send it in. 50 days later I get it back only to see this thread

Ramen FTW!

One package of ramen plus a bowl of rice goes a long way
