Which is the best (and worst) pair of headphones?
View this Thread in Original format

Hello.

All you DJs, name the best - and the worst - pair of headphones that you have heard. (Note that the best headphones for techno/trance may sound like crap on all other types of music, and the worst headphones for techno/trance may still work decently on some of the other types of music.) ;)

And please ignore the ranting by Gluegun in the "Sennheiser Headphones" thread. :eek:

Peace.

I am bringing this up to the top...

And if I wasn't impressed with the Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones, I might not have listened to them with the right music...heheheh... The shop that I had demoed them at was playing classical music through them! That kind of music really brought out the worst from those V700DJ's (heheheh... classical music sounds way better from open-air headphones. DUH!). Nonetheless, my ears may grow fond of those V700DJ's with some types of music. ;)

Hey, what's wrong with my ranting? It's TRUE ranting....

*Best headphones he's heard*

Beyerdynamic DT-831's.

I HATE SLIM SHADY AND ALL KINDS OR RAP MUSIC .
ShadySlim
Trance devil,

Don't confuse me with "Slim Shady"! I really don't care for most rap music!!! :mad:

I still can't decide what the best headphones for trance/techno are - but I can say that the Sony MDR-V600 is among the worst headphones that I've heard recently.

The worst trance hp's are definetly the Sony MDR-V150...
And the best are or the Sennheiser HD-25 or the Technics RP-DJ1200.

I couldn't agree with you more with that statement... Muddy, crappy bass that distorts badly at moderate volume levels... heheheh... :(

And I don't care at all for those ing MDR-V300's, either - cheap, flimsy, easily breakable plastic! :p:eek::p

This post is not only to bring this thread up to the top, but I'm updating the original topic of this thread...

As of now, it's been split into two parts (four questions).

1. Which brand/model of headphones is the best for DJ beat matching? The worst?

2. Which brand/model of headphones is the best for listening to trance? The worst?

Think about these four questions. When you're finished, please answer to these four questions.
ENJOY SHIM SLADY :p :p :p

Ok i have some special question for you . What's the best headphones for a 50$ (canadian) budget ?

ShadySlim
FASTDJMP3, that's a tough one to answer. $50 (canadian) roughly equals $30 (U.S.) - and since this is a DJ forum, I found that none of the headphones priced at $30USD ($50CAN) are suitable for DJ'ing. In fact, nearly all of them (for that price) are crappy to begin with.

Ok let's say 50 US (75 Canadian) ...
