| The pioneers will undoubtedly break! We have had about 4 pairs of them all of which have broken in the same place. Everyone I have asked about this has said the same thing. That being said I still love the damn things, so soft haha. The technics RPDH1200's are a little bulky for me personally and that's why I have the technics 1200A's which have nicely replaced the pioneers. |

| Those pioneers are pricey, and tend to fall apart from what I've heard (never owned a pair). The Technics are good, but sorta harsh for my taste. If you want to stay mainstream, I'd say go with the Sony MDR-v700 as you can find them pretty cheaply on the net. I use ultrasones (HFI-550, and now the DJ1), and I love them, but they can be sorta pricey. |

I have a hand me down pair of the sony's I don't know which model but they have ZERO grip and are too big (even full squished together) for my head...
Keryn - thanks for you input; I'm gonna check those out as well! |

| But Wait, Keryn, do your 1200A's swivel in all directions? (the ear pieces, that is?) My roomie has phones like that and I prefer the other way.. (they bend and swivel but not to the same degree)...does that make any sense? lolol |

DON'T GET THE PIONEERS!
They break, and they are heavy as . Your head and neck will hurt after one hour.
Get some Sennheisers or Technics or somethin |

ya had 2 pairs of the pioneers, the swivel thing breaks after 3-4 months.
i have the technics rph ones and there defintitely 10x more durable.

I only play out like once a year and for fun, so I don't really need anything hardcore.
Gathering opinions, the Techs look to be the winner. Goin' to the store to pick em up after work. |
