This is beyond a f*cking joke now.
Now onto my FOURTH pair, and this will be my third replacement under warranty

First pair: 6 months- still worked perfectly, but one cup had something rattling inside.

Second pair: Lasted a month, total usage: 9 times

Third (current pair): 3 weeks- total usage: 7 times- estimated use <24 hours



yep, tonight the right cup just decided to stop mid mix-awkward as i use split cue most of the time.
If i put the band over the top of my head, it will work intermittently, if i have it going behind my neck like i always have done, doesnt work at all.
Thankfully, my trusty sony mdrv700s were in my bag as spares (never doing a gig without a spare pair now- ever) and as always they worked.
They may crack, but at least they fucking keep working no-matter what you throw at them.

They are IMMACULATE- they even smell new for fucks sake, as does the bag.
They have never been kept in my box or bag, they are kept seperate in the boot of my car so they dont get crushed.
They are carried in seperately and have not been dropped.
When i get home from work, they stay in thei carrying bag on top of my UDG softbag until the next weekend when i pick them up again.
what.
the.
Fuck

USELESS.

My dealer is going to:
A)punch me
b)punch me
c)think im pulling some sort of scam
d) tell me to fuck off and punch me
e)tell me to fuck off and punch me and bar me from his shop for ever

Owch. Well, at least youre getting your moneys worth. Pioneer isnt making too much money off of you!

be more gentle with them.

I'm also onto my fourth pair.

Good sound shite build quality.

that sucks. at some point you have gotta draw the line. how much bettter is the pioneer's sound quality than the sony's? maybe you should make the sony's your #1 pair of 'phones and keep the pioneers as back ups. but then if you need to use the pioneers and they break..... not cool. (shakes head)

excuse me?


i AM gentle with them.

They are treated with great care

To answer the above question- the sound on the pioneers is far superior to the sonys, especially at louder volumes where the clarity is much better.

I think you need some new ears.

From what I've heard Freak say, he could actually use a new pair of ears .

freak, that sucks, cause even though they are under warrenty, the shop will be like "WTF! You broke them AGAIN!?". Maybe you should move on to a differant pair of phones, sens maybe ?

For instance. But if he thinks Sony's sound like crap, Sennheisers will sound like crap too because they both have very neutral sound.

Why dont you suck on my hairy balls

Firstly, where did i say that sonys sounded crap?
I used them for years- they are fine
I do this for a living dickshit.
Ive used and owned more pairs of headphones than most people.
After extensive comparison in several venues at a variety of voumes and conditions up to and exceeding 120dB ambient noise floor, it is my professional and personal opinion that the pioneers have greater clarity at higher volume than the sonys.
They also sound better overall- the sonys are good, but the pioneers are better.
re:sennheisers
I have owned: sennheiser HD25s, HD25Sps, hd 200s and some others which i wont bore you with.
HD 25s are some of the finest headphones available, if you ignore the fact that they break and leave your ears tired in comparison with other 'phones after prolonged use. They also do not have a coiled cord.
I do have a pair still- i tend not to use them much,as again i prefer the pioneers.

`pr0digy- my ears are fine in regards to health and frequency response- had them tested a while back. As long as i keep using the plugs they will be lasting a long while yet

Headphones is one of the aspects of djing down to personal opinion and experience.
I dont give a crap about fashion or looking cool- i just want them to work and last and enable me to do the best job i can.

This thread was posted as an update to my continuing saga of breaking headphones, and the excellent way pioneer have dealt with my warranty ( so far)- not as a flame thread.

i expect you are gentle now since you broke so many.... but i said be MORE gentle... wear fluffy mittens and stuff.

sucks when shit breaks but at least your getting brand new pairs for free.
