R.I.P. Head-Cans

My HDJ-1000s have passed on

I was listening to my iPod on the bus and one of the earcups actually just broke/fell off and now they do not work.

Had them about a little over a year, I cry.

Guess I'll pick up some Sony's.

Don't! Get some Technics or Senheissers.

7506

I mean, unless you want to buy headphones that sound awful and are prone to breaking again.

Man, I literally have heard of nothing but horror stories about those Pios. It's almost comical at this point.

What models of Senheissers do you recommend?

Besides the HD-25, the HD-280's are supposed to be quite good as well. I didn't like them though, because I prefer smaller cans. Besides that, I found the HD-25's to have much better sound quality.

i own 25s but bought the sonys for a friend. theyre both great.

Have you tried gluing it back on? Same thing happened to my Sony V700's about a year ago, I just used some Gorilla Glue and now they seem more sturdy then when I first got them.

i just got the HD280's.....i like something that fits around your ear...i hear the HD25's SIT on your ear. i have also heard that the HD25's sound amazing.

one thing about the hd280's....the isolation you get is ridiculous. i think out of any headphone, they're the best for that. they are however a little lacking in the bass department and the highs tend to get a little ear piercing at some points. i just really didn't feel like spending 200$ on a pair of headphones...

i'm still getting used to them...they do look/feel extremely solid however.

Get Technics RP-DH1200. After extensive use for 3 years they just started cracking.

Sorry man, Its a bad feeling watching $160 snap and become useless. Like RJT said...Sony 7506.

Posted by archaudio on Feb-26-2008 02:50:

Ouch man! i am picking up my pair of HDJ-1000's tomorrow.... I have been using sonys for the longest time.. i had no problems with them... And i beat the shit out of them! i just wanted to switch up to something that might have a little better should than the sony MDR-V150's..

Posted by archaudio on Feb-27-2008 02:59:

Yeah i just got my HDJ-1000's today.. i love them but i hope i don't run into trouble like you did... way too expensive

Posted by Yohan on Feb-27-2008 03:22:

I don't understand the fascination with Sony V800s and Pioner HDJ1000s...

Do people not read the horror stories about those cans? I personally don't think the sound quality on those aren't as good.

too many wankers like how they look.

Go with the Technics, the DH1200s...I am highly satisfied with my recent purchase of said cans. <3 removable cord. They're only $180 USD, whereas a comparable set of Sennheisers is probably more expensive(Though I cannot say for sure, I was able to buy my set for $100 USD : so I didn't have to really research)

Glad to hear that I bought something that'll last me a few years

Posted by PvDoBseSSioN on Feb-27-2008 17:17:

yeah i was so pissed when my cans broke on the plane! right in the beginning of a 7 hour flight too

Posted by Clovis on Feb-27-2008 22:37:

Why do people still spend money on shit cans?

Sony 7506, end of discussion, just like always.
