the only headphone speciallist anyone has mentioned is sennheiser.
sony's speciallism is in walkmans-fact! they dont make good hi-fi's or headphones. the headphones are too big with massive slow drivers in them. the plastic they re made of is brittle and breaks very quickly on the road. ferry etc probably get paid to wear what he does.
pioneer- the only thing they do well is cd players. they have no specialism in loudspeaker design and have always been at the lower end of the hi fi market. again the drivers are too big and slow.
technics- great turntables but thats about it. the 1200 mixer is rubbish and overpriced and the headphones follow the same qualities at the above two.
these three are all similar. the drivers are too big to be driven accurately by the sub 1watt output from headphone amps in mixers. they attempt to reproduce very low frequencies when they dont need to.
sennheiser- the most recognised manufacturer of headphones in the world. they speciallise in professional/studio gear only and have been on top for years and years. smaller drive units in the hd25/ 25sp which are quicker responding and more efficient. materials- flexible plastic that you can bend and it wont break. very small and light. so light that you forget your wearing them. if you cant affors the hd25's then get the 25sp's. theyre only fifty quid on ebay! |
I personally had bad luck with my hd-1000 headphones
(they broke after 5 months of use )
so I bought an open box pair of sony's 7506 for 70$ on ebay
which should hopefully last longer
( I just need something to dj in my bedroom right now.)
But you are right if I had a gig where loud music is being played
I would get the hd-25,
unless like you mentioned someone was paying me to use
something else ,
I just cant afford the hi tag right now
I 'd rather spend that money on music ;-)
now,
dope headphones a bit pricy though...

Ultrasone AG limited the production on the edition7 unit. Only 999 were made—and each costs $3000. Built with titanium drivers and Uultrasone’s S-Logic™ and PROline (ultralow-emission) technology, the edition7 represents the latest in high-end technology.
Ultrasone’s patented S-Logic technology creates natural surround sound without the use of additional electronic devices. The technology uses decentralized transducer positioning to reflect sound off of the listener's outer ear, creating a natural 3-D sensation without the use of processing. S-Logic produces a stereophonic surround sound field that is perceived to be broad, detached and located in front of the listener. Ultrasone addresses the physiology of the ear rather than using electronics to generate a stereophonic sound field. The headphones represent a safer listening experience by generating a 40-percent lower sensitivity for the same perceived loudness and shielding up to 98 percent of EMF radiation through the use of patented PROline (ultralow-emission) technology.
THE ULTRASONE STORY
Every conventional headphone on the market uses centralized drivers that send the audio signal directly down the ear canal straight to the eardrum, bypassing the pinna, or outer ear, which gives us our perception of distance and direction. The patented ULTRASONE S-Logic™ technology uses decentralized drivers, they are actually shifted slightly down and to the front so that the audio signal strikes the pinna and allows the anatomy of the ear to process the sound naturally. In addition to having much more natural sound imaging (UTRASONE headphones actually sound more like being in the sweet spot of fine monitor speakers than headphones) you get the same perceived volume with up to 40% less sound pressure level to the eardrum, virtually eliminating fatigue. By reducing EMF radiation and lowered sound pressure levels ULTRASONE are not only the best sounding headphones in the World but also the safest.
