ok, i haven't really been into this whole headphone debate...
but i have a question, plain and simple
gluegun: i'm looking for a pair of DJ headphones, relatively cheap (like $100 canadian) that have a good bass response, and are not too shabby in the mids and highs (these are not my main priority, i just need to hear the bass right now)... these will be used primarily for DJing... keep in mind, that i woun't be ordering from the internet, just walking into a store and picking them up |

$100 Canadian is roughly equal to $60 U.S., and finding a set of true DJ cans is virtually impossible at this low of a price. in stores, nearly all of them cost at least $150 Canadian - and most cost $200 Canadian or more. |

| Yea, DJ_Shockwav, like I said, for utilitarian DJ features, you gotta pay a WAAAAAAYY bloated amount of money for what you get.... I'm talking like, 500, 600% more than an audiophile set of cans that sounds the same, but without all of the trance-dj-specific features would need.... |

DJ_Shockwav,
if you can sacrafice these features:
a headband where the speakers swivel all the way around
lots of sound attenuation
You can get the Koss UR-20's for $25.
Other than that, for all of those features I mentioned at the top, you're probably have to pay $120+ US. |

thanks for the info
i just need something decent right now, that'll get the job done
noting fancy with all kinds of features, that'll have to wait |

Well, seeing as how we don't know the model number, I can't tell you what I think of em, can I?
Darchinova, good, bad, or okay FOR WHAT PURPOSE? |

|

| Gluegun |
Oh, god, you got a set of CD280's to LISTEN TO MUSIC WITH?!?! ON AN MP3 PLAYER?!?!
I hope, for your sake, that you return them as quickly as possible...yes, they DO SUCK THAT BADLY! I'd pay $3 for 'em...
Okay. A few questions here...
Do you want headphones that block out sound?
Do you mind big headphones that go over the ear?
Do you mind headphones that clip on the ear?
Do you mind earphones that go in the ear?
Do you mind headphones that leak a lot of sound?
Can you stretch your budget to $70 US?
Oh, and DJ Darchinova, those headphones all suck. What sort of headphones are you looking for, for what purpose, with what budget, and what will you be plugging them into? |
