anyone?

mine dont

No idea...but recently I had the chance to check out a variety of headphones including the HDJ1000. I found them extremely flimsy and they felt cheap/plasticky. The sound was decent, but I found them uncomfortable to wear and hardly build like a tank like my RPDH1200's. Sort of off topic but whatever.

I know what you mean but they soon wear in Never understood why they used plastic for the swivel rather than metal. Mine are still holding up sweet but I'm sure they will go the way of everyone elses one day

Hah thanks

How is the sound on those? Is the bass good? Are the highs clear? Also do they feel more sturdy than the 1000s?

Dont buy the hdj1000s

You would get better build quality and reliability making them from styrofoam cups and some string

Utter utter shite

I'm not gonna lie, the rpdh1200's are one of my favorite pieces of gear. When buying headphones you shouldn't be looking for a particularly "good" bass or "clear" highs. What you're looking for is solid frequency response (for good sound reproduction) and loudness, and then sturdiness.

The frequency response on the technics rpdh1200 are phenomenal (5hz-30khz) which is outside of the human hearing range. They have a very flat spectrum meaning clear and solid sound reproduction which makes them just as solid as monitors for monitoring audio.

As far as loudness..they have 3500mW of input power which is standard but loud enough to hear what you need in obscenely loud club environments.

As far as the build is concerned they are the best built headphones I've ever tried. They are extremely sturdy and take a mad beating. I've had mine almost a year now and they have gone through sweaty, crowdy, hot, smokey environments, have been banged around and pushed to near maximum output levels for long periods and are in great condition. I would rebuy them if I had the chance.

Another thing I have to mention is that, even though I've had these for a while, they are the best sounding phones I've listened to even compared with sony mdr7509's and hdj1000's.

I'm not trying to persuade you but this is my experience with them so I would certainly recommend them to you.

Good luck,
Andrew

You just convinced me. Any recommendations on where to get them online besides ebay...need them shipped to Canada.

Only post in the thread that anyone really needs to read. HDJ-1000's are absolute shit and no one should ever even consider spending money on them.

Edit: And the Technics cans are just as bad, especially when it comes to build quality - Sony MDVR7506 or bust, IMO.
