MDR-v700DJ vs RP-DJ1210

well im sorry to start another headphone thread, but the sticky one has just gotten far to long winded. Basically i am willing to spend about �80 on a good pair of headphones, possibly �100. But i keep hearing that the MDR-v700DJ are shit. So shud i go for the RP-DJ1210 instead??? or is there a better alternative?

peace

mikey

I dont know they say the sennheiser hd280 is good, I personally like the pioneer phones but their base it a little weak. I like the MDR700's on the other hand too, so I guess thats not too much help

Try finding the Sony MDR-V6 (not 600) or the Sony 7506. They will be your best bet if you can find them.

Sennheiser HD280 Pro are also good from what I understand. They block out the most amount of sound and should great for DJing.

i'm very satisfied with my MDR-V700's .. i should say, that these are they first real DJ headphones i've owned, but they are a HUGE improvement over anything that costs much less.

they are definitly not bad

before i posted this, i read thru every single page of that thread. Its gotten far to sloppy in there. Change of opinions, out of date info, its just a complete mess. I couldnt find answers to the questions i wanted. However, from this thread i have made i hav found thanks to big dave, MERiDiAN5i2, El~ZaPo, Dj Zinni some recommendations, and answers kept short and sweet that have benefited me greatly. So thanks for that guys. Once again im sorry to start another headphone thread but now i hope u understand why i did.

Okay, lessee..

My usual DJ headphone suggestions:

Sony MDR-V6
Sony MDR-V7506
Sennheiser HD25
Sennheiser HD280 Pro
Beyerdyamic DT250-80

My usual DJ headphone suggestions for people in Europe:

Sennheiser HD280 Pro
Sennheiser HD25

The "Normal" DJ headphones that I don't mind too badly

Technics RP-DJ1200
IXOS DJ1001

The Normal DJ headphones for which I have a vendetta

Sony MDR-V700DJ
Sony MDR-V500DJ
Sony MDR-V600

ive had the MDR 7506 for over a year now, and they are pretty good, they havent broken or budged. I don't know if these would be good for very loud environments though. For bedroom to studio to moderately loud, these are pretty good.

The MDR-7506 are good for very loud environments... they isolate plenty, especially with the Beyerdynamic pads, and are sensitive enough to get extremely loud with a low amount of power!

Hear, hear!

That's all the information you need to know unless you really want to get detailed and get the scoop on all of those headphones. I personally recommend the Sony MDR-V6/7506.

anyone used the ministy of sound's headphones? The ProDJ 1001 look pretty serious.

(i dont really want to look in the other heaphone thread, too long )

Oh, and I've used the SOny 600 and 700's..

in my opinion the sound quality for both are very good. The 600's are more comfortable, but less manouverable for DJ use.. and the 700s are great except they put more pressure on the band going across ur head.

I have had both the Sony V600s and the V700DJs. They're waaaaaay overrated, as far as sound quality is concerned.

The sound quality and value of these headphones isn't good. Listen to any of these to see what I mean

http://www.headphone.com/layout.php...2&subTopicID=14

Every single one of these <$70 headphones, down to the $13 Sennheiser MX400, should beat the V600's and V700's in sound quality... and if you are looking for an inexpensive DJ headphone from this list, try the HD212 Pro, though my recommendation of these is hesitant, due to a lack of a few DJ features...

But, anyway, didn't you read this?

"The "Normal" DJ headphones that I don't mind too badly

Technics RP-DJ1200
IXOS DJ1001 "

That's the IXOS Ministry of Sound ProDJ 1001, friend...

MDR-V700 sucks ass.....I have both and serious as a heart beat....Technics fits like a glove...unless you have a Big head or something...I wouldn't want my audience to come up to me and ask me if I was Princess Leia.....

1210's all the way....

Cheers

Verdict: Responsive, fitting and lovely size....

well seriously to me their is not much sound quality difference between the 600s, 700s, and my own JVC $50 CND ones.. I said the sound quality is good on the 6 and 7s, but just like it is on all these cheaper headphones. Ur just paying for the name and the look.

Thats why I didnt pay $300 for the 700's (like a friend of mine did), and I got myself the JCV ones for DJing and the sony MDR-CD380 ($70 CND) for producing (cause their just so plain comfotable!!)

I need to save my money for records anyways

That's why you order the MDR-V6's from Etronics and buy the Velour pads from Sennheiser Northa America, and have one kickass studio/producing/dj/club/listening/travel/etc. set of headphones...

r u trying to pull? r u really that ?

nope, Im more

The MDR-V700's are prone to being broken.. the sound is not good value either!!
If you HAD to choose either one of them, the Technics are the way.. block out a lot more sound and it holds a more "clear" sound.

But get the HD280 pros.. great sound and blocks background noise to 32db
