i own both the technics rpdh1200's and the sennheiser hD 25's, both have very good sound, however i prefer the sound of the technics, as they are a bit more bassy and give that extra little OOMPH to mixing, that being said they have also broken on me time and time again but gorilla glue to the rescue, i have a big head and have the phones on for hours on end sometimes so they have began to crack but i keep fixing them, the sennheisers dont seem like they would be prone to this type of wear and tear because altough they are much thinner in size and frame they seem to be much sturdier with more solid joints, the senns are also pricier than the techs, if you do get the senns, makse sure you get the velour ear pads because when you're wearing them for extended periods of time they make a huge difference between cool and comfy and warm and sweaty.. senns aren't cheap so you'd think after paying what you did you'd get better ear padding than you do the standard pads are awful really.. both have good isolation and i'd say it's about even in that area... just try and ask yourself what kind of listener you are... if you like your bass go for the techs, if you want a more flat response go for the hd25's

Sennheisers HD-280s or
Sony MDR-7506

I've found the Sony's to have slightly better low end response, but the Sennheisers are infinitely more comfortable.

You get what you pay for.

Don't be tricked into cheap shit.

I own a pair of Senn HD-25's and Sony V6's.

I'd recommend the Senns for DJing, they are lighter, more durable and more comfortable than most other models and brands. However, they have a short cord and don't pump the bass as much as larger headphones might.

the ultrasones are plenty strong but the main thing is the sound quality is amazing and way less fatuiging on your ears.
