Doesn't lowering the volume help as an alternative to saving your ears?

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


If you want real good headphones with great frequency range and nice deep base then these are the stuff you want

Yep.

I'm not going to bother with this anymore. You know where I'm coming from, I know where you're coming from.

1 question though. Is most of your collection in Wav?

High frequencies are easier to attenuate because of the shorter wavelengths.

I only want to use them for DJ'ing. So vinyl.

I'm quite happy and satisfied with my Technics 1210 Headphones.

And yes, its specified frequency range is not very useful for the human ear, BUT at least you won't come even close to the edges of that range. This way you can avoid possible non-linearities of the device. (not that I ever encountered any )

In any case they sound great!

I've been using the MDRV600s for DJing for nearly 15 years and have never had an issue. They're lightweight and I prefer the larger earcups to those on the 7506s (mind you, I have a pair of those as well, which I use for production). You can nab a pair online for around $100.

also worth a look (listen):

ive used these and really like them.
having tested the senn and xone, i'd say the difference between them comes down to music style.

senns are very punchy in the bass while the xones are more balanced. i'd say the senns would be good for techier sounds while xone would be better suited to more melodic stuff.

No, I mean the 600. I never liked the 700s - I found them cumbersome and the swivels felt awkward and were of zero use to me.

And you're honestly going to blame Sony for ruining your hearing, and not excessive volume and/or lack of hearing protection? I've been DJing for nearly three decades, have been using the 600s for half that and my hearing is just fine.

Ultrasone PRO 750. These will most likely be my next headphones, to replace my Ultrasone HFI-680, which don't have a coiled cable. Other than that they're by far the best sounding headphones I've ever tested. I absolutely hated the Sony MDR-7506.
