Question Buying new headphones..

hey guys,

so as the title says, i am planning on buying a pair of new headphones very soon, however, i have 4 models that i am considering and would really like your opinion on the matter.

my top priorities are in order of importance:
1. sound quality (good solid bass, crisp highs and mids)
2. comfort
3. price

the models are the following:

-Reloop RHP-10 (cherry/black)
-Allen & Heath XD-53
-Ultrasone DJ1 Pro
-Ecler ECH-602 (Ultrasone DJ1)

thank you!!!

You should look into the Senn HD 25s, i've had and tried my fair share of cans and these have been by far the best i have tried.

guys, thanks so much for your help. i gotta say i used to have a pair of the 7506 but unfortunately, they didnīt do much for me. iīm actually looking to buy the best fit for me among the ones i mentioned in my original post.
the reason why i need your help is that i canīt try them out physically because where i live no one sells them so i gotta order them online, before i do that i just wanted to check some opinions from other djs. i hate reading product reviews because i feel they are biased. i think here i will get an honest advice.

yea, iīve seen those before, but never had a chance to try them. iīm worried the earbud is a little too small and wonīt really isolate the outside sound that much...

If you didn't like the 7506s then try the Sennheiser HD25s. There aren't any other headphones out there (other than these two) that I'd consider, tbh.

I've had my trusty pair of Sony MDR-V700s since 2005 and, despite their rep...no cracks or breaking.

Don't get the Xone XD53's they are horrible. Loose, large, uncomfortable.

They do have nice mids on them but the bass isn't anything to write home about.

I also have a set of HD25's I love them, but i will admit that when using them for long periods my ears do become a little sore.

Not only that but i own some custom ear plugs which are uncomfortable when i'm using the HD25's, so much so that i've stopped wearing them unless i'm dj'ing for a long time, when instead i bear the pain.

I've never been able to try the 7506's unfortunately. I'd love to.

And also have not tried any of the other headphone's you've posted.

would i recommend the hd25's? Yes, they have amazing isolation. Sound absolutely terrific and apart from being a little uncomfortable if i'm dj'ing over 5 hours i can't fault them.


If i were you I'd find a place that allows you to return a product within 10/30 days, and have a go at them/other head phones. HTH
