Transa: For DJing, you won't tell me the kind of 200-quid headphones that you use, leaving me to take a guess. I think it's either from Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic (or possibly Vivanco, a brand not widely available in the U.S.); the AKG headphones don't swivel far enough for proper DJ monitoring, and NONE of Sony's or Technics' DJ headphone offerings cost anywhere near that high - and the Sony headphones costing that much neither swivel far enough nor block enough external noises for DJ monitoring. (Note that the prices are in UK pounds.)

Gluegun,have u tried and tested these headphones?Because im not listening do u until u do!Because i was douped by some total ripoff merchant shopkeeper who said thery where all this and that,just like u say,but he never actually heard them,until i took them back,and even he agreed they where shite.

Transa, I used to own a pair of Sennheiser HD 495's, and then returned them less than a month later. Though I had ordered them from a reputable mail-order dealer, I didn't go to such extremes in returning them as you did (i.e. I didn't try to ram them up the f**king headphone-god-for-an-owner's butt); they just didn't quite meet my expectations. I expected them to be light and somewhat flimsy, but I just didn't expect them to be so quiet and so tough to drive. Whether driven from a home Pioneer receiver or driven from a portable add-on Airhead amp, the 495's barely reached adequate loudness for my uses - and then the headphone outputs began to produce distortion and/or clipping noises. And using the 495's directly out of a portable CD player's headphone jack? Fuggittaboutit.

Actually, I'm thinking of getting the 495's...

My Total Airhead amp will drive them quite well...

I'm sorry this is a little bit off the topic, but guys...what do u think is better
Pioneer MDJ-500, or Pioneer MDJ-600 !!!

trintiy, sorry I got Gluegun to dis your beloved Sony MDR-7505 headphones. The drivers used in the MDR-7505 are not those of the crappy MDR-V600's, but are actually those of the now-discontinued MDR-CD570's (decent-sounding for under 60 pounds when that model was in production).

And Transa, the one who started this f***ing long thread that has been going nowhere:

Which pair of headphones did you eventually buy to replace the Sennheiser 495's that you thought were crap?
