if you get hd25's make sure they arn't the hd25sp's with the plastic rigid headband. they suck arse ;) the proper hd25's on the other hand are wicked.
for slipmats, i would recommend 'sicmats'. they are the best that i have used. |

i'd check out the Sony 7506s. love those phones to death.
if you feel like browsing, check out AudioTechnicas. i don't know if they make DJ specific headphones, but i do remember having to spin once with ATH-1000s (i think), which happen to be studio cans, and it was ing excellent. dunno if prolonged kick-heavy music will make them very durable though, as i recall them being aimed at guitar players and such. loved every minute of it tho.
i'd advise you to stay away from Sony MDR V700DJ phones. they are not bad at all, but i believe the 7506s to be much better, at a cheaper price, a lot more durable, and also, once you get used to MDRV700s, you get accostumed to their sound, and you don't want to use anything else. so you're stuck buying them again and again, even if they keep breaking.
i love the sound of the Pioneer HDJ-1000s, but they're a pricier, and even though i've yet to hear from any of my friends that they have failed on them, some people on this forum have had bad experiences.
speakerwise, i'm in love with Mackie SRM-450s. but that's a bit heavy duty for a bedroom. i'd check out the JBL ION Gen2's already mentioned. you may also be able to get some custom made ones for a nice price, i know this one guy that works at a studio here who builds them for different applications at very good prices. sound ing sweet too. |

hd-280 pros, you wont regret it, at all. very affordable too, the less you spend on equipment the more you can spend on vinyl. |

| gotta have good vinyl or your equipment really means didly squat its finding the balance and i think that one place a bedroom dj can save some mone on is equipment meaning he doesn't have to get club quality for the sheer reason that he's not running a club and so won't get nearly the beating that a club would deliver. |

Sorry, but I still do not agree with you. I think if you can save your money and get decent equipment, it will make the world of difference. Not to get personal, but I am a plumber. That is what I do for a living. If I were to do my job with junk tools, the job would not come out as good as if I did it with quality tools. My work partner has all these crap tools he works with. They are . His cutters are always threading when he trys to cut copper, his tourch is always burning the fittings, and last but not least, his tools are always breaking. The same applies to the equipment you buy. You want turntables that can't hold a beat for , a mixer that burns out a channel every other month, and headphones that crack before you even learn how to beatmatch. By that time the guy will probally throw his hands in the air and say f**k this , it ain't worth it. This is just my opinion, though.
Rock On,
Mike |
