Finally got my account activated today :happy2:
I'm buying some headphones soon and I've been lookin at pairs all week.
The Sony 700s are a no, they break, they suck period
The Pioneer 1ks looked good until I found out they broke just as much so no.
I have it down to the Sennheiser HD25 but then I found the Technics. I can't find any reviews or opinions on them so if someone here owns a pair, please tell me how good they're sound quality is. I know they wont break since they're built like a tank (4.5 lbs!)so I just need to know if they sound good. |

Who says the hdj1000 breaks? I have a pair that I haven't been very gentle with and they're still fine. |

Freak went through like 10 pairs or something.
Anyways, those new tech phones are not very good from what I hear. They have poor sound, and poor isolation. I think they are more solid than the 700s though, but they weigh a bunch as a result.
Read this review please.

| Yeah, I've read that review. But I've seen others saying the sound and isolation is good, but it's to mixed for me to believe anything so I want to get more impressions from people who use them. If only the Pioneers didn't break so much they'd be perfect for me. |

Looked at these
Was just about to buy one of the first pairs (werent available in the uk so was going to import some fromt he states)
....
Then i saw the weight!!!! 4.5 lbs!!!!!! Far Far too much. HDJ1000s arent exactly light, and 4 and a half times that is just too much.

It is a well known manufacturing flaw. First batch were awesome- new ones are e.
Off the record, i asked a pioneer uk customer services guy how many returns they are getting .
He said per 100 pairs they are getting over 75 pairs replaced under warranty within the first year.
I reckon its one enourmous tax dodge myself- pity, as they sound awesome and i was very very happy with mine(well the first pair that lasted a huge 6 months).
Anyway- the techs
They sound good, better than the DJ1210s, look great and so far i have heard they are reliable.
Email pete tong and ask him- he switched to them ages ago
If you have neck muscles like hulk hogan then go for it! |
