MDR7506 vs HDJ1000

So my MDRV700s finally gave in, and I'll be damned if I'm spending that money on a shitty equipment again. I've heard alot of good things about the 7506(I read the review thread) and I've tried the HDJ1000s, and like how they sound. I'm worried about the durability of the HDJs though, mainly because they are built like the V700s, and people tell me that they are just as flimsy as the V700s.
Coming down to these two, which would you recommend and why?
Thanks for the help.

if you buy the 1000s, please check yourself into a psychiatric hospital on the way home.
Plastic flimsy overpriced fragile poorly made utter f*cking sh*t

freak had like 6 pairs snap on him in a row

don't bother with the pios, the mdr 7506 are where it's at

they really are all that and a bag of chips

see review thread

he did read it, he just needs more re-assurance. get the sony's, end of discussion, lol.

I had the 7506's for 5 years. But, I got a pair of Pio's over them. I like how the Pio's sound on live systems better than the 7506. They don't sound as hollow. They also sound louder. When I used the 7506 on big systems it was hard to hear. I hear a lot of breakage happening with the Pio's, but honestly, I haven't had any issues with mine. I had them for over 1 year already. By this point, they already more than paid for them selves.

It all comes down to personal preference.

One thing to keep in mind... If you buy any headphones at Guitar Center, buy the extended warranty for an extra $20. They cover ANYTHING. If they break, they give you new ones on the spot.

Thanks guys, I think the 7506's are my choice. I got to try them out at a local record shop, and they fit comfortably while still sounding nice...very good response, as commented in the review thread.
And Woody, I think that 20 extra bucks wouldn't hurt at all since it does cover everything, thanks alot for that tip

Am i really that lucky or smth, because my pio's haven't crackled, cracked etc at all, i have them for more than a year now, they even fell a few feet to the ground a few times, and they're still holding perfectly.
Sometimes i wonder, most complaints about cracking of pio's comes from the Americas, didn't hear a lot of Europeans complaining about them...
At least here, the sony's cracking is teh shit here too, but a lot of my friends own pio's for quite a while, and nobody's cracked.
Conspiracy?

7506!! Hands down.

HD25 great sound very reliable. Haven't had any problems with them.

I have both phones and I prefer the Pio's for DJ'ing hands down. They are a bit louder and heavier on the bass which helps que'ing in loud environments. Freak u just had bad luck with yours I guess, I've had mine for over 3 years now and only had to replace the chord. I use em almost everyday. As long as u baby em u should be fine. Anyone having breaking problems with the new ones?

well if I'm on crack, then why don't u try some then...maybe u won't break ur phones

I ended up getting the 7506s...and I can't say how happy I am with the choice. While they don't sound as "full" or have the bass response of the Pioneers, they still sound fantastic and clean.
I guess I'm on the bandwagon now too...7506s are THE choice, hands down. For their value, I don't think any other cans can compete.

Yeah, the 7506's are great cans, love em. But right now Im using the Ultrasone DJ1 headphones, theyre not used a ton which is unfortunate but theyre great. They isolate great, theyre loud, and I love the sound.

Myself being one of them.....

I picked up the 7506 last week and I'm quite happy with them.

Although the Pio's seem to have a bigger punch, the Sony's overall just make way more sense. 1000 times more comfortable, and a hell of a lot lighter too. I hated how small the ear holes on the Pioneers were. I'd use them for listening on my computer for less than an hour and would notice a lot of discomfort when taking them off.

Fuck those Pioneers.... they look pretty, sound good... but they break and are pretty much as comfortable as wearing a pair of metal ear muffs.

I could have told you this...

7506 just plain rocks in terms of comfort. Use them with my mp3 player almost everyday. (because 7506 > most headphones must be reinforced to tell people from buying crappier headphones)

bah, whatever yohan.....

when i bought the pioneers i was just starting out, therefore - looking 'cool' was rather important.... until i went from 'cool' to 'tool' when the pio's snapped in two pieces in the middle of a gig.

Yes but it was just 'bad luck' remember

Nobody looks cool wearing those pioneers, not even Zabiela

lol, how do u snap them in 2 pieces, unless your like Peter Hook in a coke seizure abusing the hell out of them? I can see sitting on them, having them crushed in your gear bags...but just by putting them on your head...u have to be bending them in directions there not meant to be bent in, and/or way too far in the proper direction w/o realizing it.
