What do you think of the weight of the DH1200? I've read that it's significantly heavier than most other headphones.

If I recall correctly, at the end of one Armin Only (2005, maybe) Armin chucks a pair into the crowd. I'd hate to be the one that almost caught it but instead got clocked in the head. =P

Well people seem to think that they weigh almost five pounds, but I think they're full of it. They don't seem to realize that the Panasonic website(Which lists them as 4.5 lbs) also says that they're (HxWxD) 10.2''x11.0''x22.4''

Have Technics axed the RP-DJ1200s/RP-DJ1210s then? Are the RP-DH1200s the replacement? Not many places seem to sell the RP-DJs anymore, they used to be really popular (although I wasn't a fan myself).



I really would just go into a shop and see what feels comfortable to you. As long as you pay over about £80 (or about $100 in The States) they'll sound fine at the sort of volume you need in a club - obviously taking the recommendations above would be a good move, try all of the ones that people have recommended here.

The only way to REALLY find your ideal pair is to pick some and try them for a while, then switch if you don't like them. I'm still yet to hate a pair of headphones so much that I wouldn't be able to put up with them, so you could just plum for a pair which you found comfortable, then when you need a new pair in a year or so (hopefully longer), have a think then about what you'd want.

The chances are after a month you'll be so used to whatever you've got you probably won't want to switch

Yes the new ones are a replacement for the rpdj 1200's.

I have a pair of the new ones as well and they are awful in comparison

i've had a pair of Technics RP-DJ1210 and after 1,5 year switched to Sony MDR-7506 and I don't regret it

iv got akg's and love them and best of all everything is replacable, compared them to the pioneers and it was night and day for sound quality

thinking about denon dn-hp1000 or the technic RPDH1200S. both about the same price. which one should i go for

Is there any way you can try them out in person? That's usually the best thing to do, since things like comfort or sound quality can't be objectively quantified.

no doubt the hdj is good, but as what was told by my mate is that the unit he had, it cancels lesser sound after some time. i've tried his cans but can't seem to have that kinda problem but that's prolly i was using it in a small room.

anyway, i own a mdr-v150, it's a great lil can... doesn't come with great sound detail but still will be able to get the job done. but that's not recommended for live usage tho as there's barely any sound cancelling. i've just recently bought a mdr-v500dj and i must say, it's a big disappointment as there isn't much difference compared with the mdr-v150. what it serves tho, a dj-headphone look, that's all. the only reason i bought the mdr-v500dj is because i was in need for my debut gig, and there is no shop selling the 700s.

just got the denon hp1000s and I'm happy. They're comfortable and the bass is great for mixing. Oh, and the noise cancellation is fairly good too.

Ya so I went to go mix 3 hours ago and grabbed my headphones. To find the left ear snapped hanging only by the cable. I didn't use duct tape to fix it, oh no, and not super glue lol... but uhm, a key ring and a heated screw. I tried it on and its "stable", for now.
