Yeah, and AKG makes some DJing headphones as well. That statement lowered the credibility of all that followed.

So from what I gather, you like beatmatching with the highs, and you take your 'phones off quite a bit.

I thought HDJ-1000's had swivel joints that were prone to breaking.

I think what a lot of us want is something that we can use for DJing and for listening, so we try to find a pair balanced with those criteria.


AKG makes DJ headphones but they're seriously not even worth mentioning
I've tried them...and didn't think they were anything to write home about.

I need to beatmatch with the highs because alot of the intros in the style I play don't have much low end going on for the first couple of measures. Either way, you can beatmatch with the bass with HDJs if you need to, it's very clear compared to the 700s IMO.

I've broken like 8 pairs of Sony DJ phones whereas I've had the HDJs for over 2 years without having them break on me. I think that means SOMETHING. Even if they did break now, that would make them the longest lasting headphones I've owned.

I use them for casual listening (on the bus, etc.) so I think they're adequately suited to that. They're not audiophile headphones but they serve both those purposes quite well.

Oh, last thing... BEWARE OF FAKES ON EBAY. There are SO many fake 700s and HDJ-1000s on ebay - avoid buying headphones on ebay like the plague.

Who the hell buys headphones on Ebay? Heheh ;-) I wouldn't even buy a used deck on there ... only CDs/DVDs/books/supplies/etc.

If I ever do buy something quality on Ebay, like lasers (which I did), I make sure to do my homework and confirm that the seller is legit and selling quality merchandise.

yeah this happened to me about 2 weeks ago, but they lasted for over 2 years and they still work. i must say that i dno't play out though and i treated them nicely, so they might break faster if treated poorly.
