I coated the shoulders of mine (hdj 1000s) with epoxy. You could run them over with a car. The entire headphones will be in bits, but the shoulders will still be intact.

hence why hd25s look like something that came out of fisher price?
also, something that boggles my mind. DJs who doesn't use certain headphones because it doesn't look 'cool'

Still using my Technics RP-DH1200 since 2005. The leather is cracked all over and the arm broke last week but with the help of a few twisty ties I managed to repair them. Quality hasn't been reduced but I definately need some new earcups.

man. tons of big name djs, but for the life of me i can't think of them at the moment.
there is a reason why 7506s are practically industry standard for over 20yrs

$20 per year is a pretty good deal. Sound is off the hook.

I've got those. Best headphones out there for DJing IMO.
I've had mine for almost 8 years, and I've been gigging out with them on a regular basis since 2003. They've taken a huge beating over the years, and they're still intact and sound as good as the day I got them.
The only issue I'm having is the coating on the padding is flaking off a little bit, but it took 7 years of regular use for that to happen... and It's only happened in a couple of little spots.
Everyone I've known that has had these headphones has refused to go back to anything else... and none have needed to purchase another pair unless they lost theirs.

7509's are a higher end model. Also more expensive.
I paid $350 for my mine back in 2000. I think they go for about $250ish now. Worth ever penny

Guess I will have to switch over. I've been using the 700s and just cracked my 2nd pair...
Am debating between the usual suspects:
HDJ1000 (Tied between these and the 706's right now)
MDRV706 (although, I don't like the way they don't hug the head as well as the 700s)
RP-DH1200 (Never used them before, don't know what they sound like)

in reality you�ve lost a bit of your hearing over those 8yrs so your only fooling yourself really believe that.
