Suggest me a good pair of DJ purpose headphones!

I am tired of swapping my Sennheiser 212pros between my PC and mixer whenever the feeling of mixing ever comes up randomly, so I figured I'd finally have to make the choice to shell out some cash to cease this annoyance.

High's and mids clarity are a must, punchy bass is a bonus. No less than 22khz. Thanks!

budget?

Pio 7506
Senn HD25

what are you rambling about in regards to the 22khz?
You know your ears can't hear above 20?

(disclaimer: i don't want any smart arses replying and telling me they've had their ears tested and can hear above 20khz, i'm talking about the average human ear, let alone those of a dj)

Senn HD25 no question.

Unrivaled with their tight bass, lush mids and crisp highs.

i read the same info somewhere on head-fi.org, many high end earplugs(mid-fi by their standards) dont go over 16khz because of this

Everyone's hearing is different you'll have to pop into a audiologist and get your ears tested to find out exactly where your hearing stops. Most of the time it should be between 16-20 i'd reckon.

I've tested headphones from 17khz, 20khz, and 22khz. Otherwise, I wouldn't be asking for headphones over 20khz. I'm not here to argue about the average human ear listening threshold.

No problem mate.
I'm just telling you you're being stupid putting in a stipulation like that.

Try protect your hearing from those high frequencies or you'll be in tinnitus ville before you know it.

Why do most acoustically attenuated ear plugs drastically remove those upper frequencies otherwise?

Anyway, It doesn't matter, they're your ears. All I'm saying is from all the other Headphone threads that have been done to death. The Sennheiser HD25 and Pioneer 7506's are the most popular.

Hope that helps.
