Yea, the burn in thing is real...
Here's a funny review. One guy got them, and hated them...but he was only, oh, 25 hours into the burn in process..
Here are his 'pre-burn-in' impressions:

He thought they may even have been damaged he didnt like the sound so much!
...and then, after a full burn in (50 hours), he basically had a completely different headphone.

Apparently, our friend TranceGeek is going through this process... remember, Trancegeek, it's just pretty easy to take all of your mp3's, set them to infinite repeat, and play them at 'louder than normal listening but not overwhelmingly loud' levels for a few days straight...
And *try* and get a well-made recording on a good source before judging them after burn in! |

| Sony 700's this that.. yo who gives a fock.. I have em myself, and I spin just fine, with no problem, with monitors and everything BLASTING.. I mean u can get all technical if you want, but I have NO problems isolating or beatmatching. Feels cheap? laff.. I'm sure half of the criteria on them are because maybe people can't afford them? Sony's making money off it, let is be, get off it's nuts! Yes, everyone is different, but your beating on 700's are mere narrow minded opinions to me, everyone's different no? |

| Question for Gluegun : are you a DJ? |

No, he's not. He does have access to a lot of info about listening headphones but like I already said in a similar discussion - DJ headphones and listening headphones aren't the same thing and they should not be judged by the same criteria.
Having said that, much of the advice here in this thread is great but I find that Gluegun focuses too much on the audio quality of the headphones, whilst ignoring some important aspects that are of significance to the DJs (ie. size, flexibility etc).
Also, I'm surprised that nobody is mentioning the Sennheiser HD-25. It might be a little pricier but it will last you pretty much indefinitely (replacable parts) and sound quality leaves nothing to wish for. |

Yep, the HD-25's may be a better choice than the HD-280 PRO's for DJ's; though the HD-280 PRO's swivel in every which way most of those "true" DJ headphones do, they are a bit too bulky for easy spinning (they're surprisingly moderate in weight, given their bulk). The HD-25's, on the other hand, are smallish, so they lend themselves well for DJing. Also, I've seen many remote location soundmen use those HD-25's. |

Yes, those are good. Just make sure that you burn them in before judging their sound quality...
Dude, trust your ears more than me... do YOU think that those headphones are good for *you* for those purposes? |

| yea, i'm still going through the burn in process... i think i can tell the difference though... the bass is coming in stronger and highs are a bit more defined... |
