Yeah, the HD600's are sick,
so are AKG K 501's
but hey, PvD wears HD25's so what do I really know?
I just know that the HDJ-1000's are damn comfortable and can take the most power, which almost always equates to < distortion. |

I was just going by what I've been told by quite a few Dj's in some DC area clubs. I used to have a pair of old Sennheisers, they were nice but the earpiece broke off at the hinge. |

the AKG K501's are good headphones, but they are definately not suited for DJing/production at all.. they are very light on bass, and the shell lets audio in and out very easily. they also dont sound good without a headphone amp, cause they are so unefficiant. i have the 401's with a cmoy amp, and though they are great for listening, I would definately not use them for djing/production.
the Sony mdrv 7506's are highly regarded in the headphone market.. Yes, sony is a big corporate company, but they still make a few good headphones. for instance these ones, the eggo's and cd-3000's.
The AKG K240S are used in alot of recording studios, and seem to be decent also. but I'd probably go for the sony's. |

Just because the 600, 700, and 900's are bad doesnt mean all sony's phones are bad. take a listen to the CD-3000 and then you can talk about sound quality.

I've never heard of the other one, so I don't think they are a very well known brand, this could be good or bad. |
AKG is a huge player in the headphone market. The K1000's will seriously destroy most other headphones (including the HD25).

You're best off going for Sennheiser's headphones, such as the HD25 which is the best headphone in the world, probably (aside from ones at about £1000 ;). |
yes, sennheiser headphones are good but there are many other good brands around. and the best headphones in the world are made by sennhiser, but they are definately not the HD25's. they're the "Orpheus" phones (with dedicated amp). |

I love Sony. I have had a Sony ES Reciever (GX67ES) and Sony ES CD Changer (CDP-C77ES) since 1993 and the only maintenance I've ever had performed was cleaning the laser's lens in the CD Changer. I've blown 2 seperate pairs of speakers with that reciever (couldn't handle the power) so yeah you can say that I usually play music very LOUD.
I've heard from too many people that their headphones build quality is comparably cheaper than others, and that they just don't last very long. |

which is why i said aside from the stupidly expensive ones. Even the top djs dont go for those super expensive ones. The HD-25s are the best ones in the dj market, and are used for so many other purposes. |

Another reason why I like the Pioneers... hermetically sealed! |

I'm going to start looking for the HD-25's on eBay :) I don't know anyone who has them so maybe I should give them a try. Paul van Duck wearing them is a good enough product endorsement for me! |

Wow how many post guys .....Thanks you all!!!!
I knew i found help here ....
Now trying to answer too all ,i know that sony are easy to damage ,I had one too and now it doesn't work,but honestly for me everything of Sony i have it's had some damage ..Tv,camcorders,headphones etc etc.
Now the mdrv7506 seems cool .....but honestly are quite similar to my old mdrv6 and aren't that exellent in the sounds....but i've seen also paul van dyk on too videos Loveparade2002 and 2003 using the mdrv7506 and that's a good point for them :)
The Pioneer HDJ-1000 Seems's realy fat ,the design it's cool ,the techincal specification seems also good ....but as i'm writing here you are all For the Sennheiser HD25 ..(i don't like much the design but who cares :D )
The only problem is that the sennheiser are a little bit out of my budget ....so maybe i'm gonna chose the akg ...
A thing i sure i have to look around more :)
Anyway thanks again too all you guys you helped me realy much
Cheers,Marco |
