Will this headphones debate ever end.

Slim Shady summed everything up like 3 pages ago:
I quote:
there are headphones for DJ monitoring/beat matching, headphones for studio monitoring, headphones for pure music listening... and headphones that are pure crap. The headphones that most of you use kinda belong to the first category (DJ monitoring); the ones Gluegun suggested belong to either the second (studio monitoring) or third (serious music listening) category.

If your using headphones for DJing all you need is a nice clean bass sound, your only gonna use the damn things to cue your next record, Shit if your beatmatching is tight the bass should be all the way off on the cued channel and it should gradually replace the bass for the one playing, when your at that point you don't even need your headphones on anymore. If you wanna mess with the EQ, that cool, but your sure as hell are not gonna use your headphones to do that, Your gonna use your monitor speaker, you know the big fuck off speaker thats blaring right in your ear. All of this Dj dawn stated earlier, by the way.

And if you answered Yes to Glueguns question for needing bloated midbass/lower midrange/upper bass for beat matching,I revert back to one of my original statements

I quote myself:

Bottom line if you blame your crap mixing on your headphones, odds are your a CRAP Dj, stop blaming equipment for your own personal failure.

If you can't beatmatch with a decent pair of headphones, try more practice and not a more expensive or SUPERIOR, that was sarcasm, pair of headphones

And to the person who started this thread, Transa what were you going to use the headphones for, and did your question ever get answered? What headphones did you end up getting?

Sorry for the rant but I just returned from Italy to find 7 e-mail on headphones in my inbox.(haha)

LOL!!! That's right! A typical club mix from a CRAP DJ will have a noticeable discrepancy in the transition between two different tunes as far as the beat goes [a very amateurish job in that transition - he either doesn't have the proper equipment to DJ with, or (more likely) he doesn't know how to properly use the pitch controls on properly designed DJ equipment]. Just don't blame otherwise crappy-sounding headphones for the problems of the typical CRAP DJ.

Happy beat-matching.

Here's my headphones..........i luv them

When i was in the store trying headphones i tried the following:
Sony MDR-V700 - pretty good sound, too heavy, i give it 88.
Sony MDR-7506 - good sound, comfy, i give it 92.
Pioneer SE-DJ5000 - pretty nice sound, pretty comfy, i give it 80.
Technics RP-DJ1200 - very good sound, comfy, i give it 95.
Sennheiser HD-25 - Very very good sound, very comfy, i give it 97.
Sennheiser HD-25sp - nice sound, very confy, i give it 80.

this is my ranking... they are all "DJ HeadPhones" and all good headphones.

Max2LC, yea, pretty much, we agree that the Sennheiser HD25's are the best out there...well, maybe except the Beyerdynamic DT-831's, but those don't swivel right for a DJ, and they need a better amp than the Sennheiser HD25's do.

Ok,first off ere,the phones werent bought for dj,ing.I mean i said sound quality right?
For djing i have a far superior set of phones I am happy with,they cost me 200 quid and im not tellin u what they are because some shmuck like the guy who said "Listen to classical on them" will probably just diss them because they have shit ears,and i dont.

Those 495 senns where bought for listening in my home.I tried and tested them with all kinds of stuff,from dvd's,to classical music from my bose sound system,and they still sucked (maybe just for my head and audio ability anyway).
And when it comes to dj'ing,sound quality isnt really an issue,i think comfort,noise baffling and freaq response are paramount.
So anybody sayin those 495's are shit hot can f*** off and rave on about em at www.classicalmusicaddict.com (If it even exists)

Beyach

LOL !!!

These are all the headphones i have:
Sennheiser HD-25sp, Sennheiser HD-200, Technics RP-DJ1200, Pro Luxe PRO-M5(pretty good for the price) and the Numark HF-150...
All of the above are "dj headphones"... The HD-200 are about the same as the HD-495 and are pretty nice... they don't get very loud, but their quality is pretty good.
