Oh, I don't doubt it. In fact, GoodCans.com often ranks Grado and Senns side-by-side in sound quality. But God, do those Grado's ever look fugly. Senns as least have some sleek sexiness to 'em.
Edit: Plus, I tend to prefer the 'closed' design' over 'open' ones. |

I'll stick with these:

Personally, I wouldn't choose any other headphone for DJIng.
However, I find HD-25s absolutely atrocious for home listening. They lack bass response and although I sat them on a wide computer tower for a year to stretch them out, they still squeeze the out of my head and cause headaches after 30 minutes. |

the dr dre earphones are absolutely useless to dj with.
as far as personal listening domesticated i use my monitors for that. The sennheisers are pretty accurate for mixing indeed. |

Agree with everything. The first time someone handed me those Beatz, I didn't know how much they were and honestly guessed $50-$60. They sound like a factory car stereo with the bass set to +5.
I'll stick to the 25 IIs, too. |

| I used to own a pair of skullcandy earphones (not headphones). The sound quality was sub-par, and they wore out very quickly and just sucked in every aspect. I do not recommend buying skull candy. Of all the earphones I've used (which is a lot), Etymotic research earphones outperform everything else I've ever tried (sennheiser, v-moda, skullcandy, shure, 'beats by dre'). Don't ever buy v-moda or skullcandy. |

V modda in ear phones are good, and they are cheap for good sound quality. They don't hold up well for gym use, which u will yank them out of your ears occasionally. Senns in ear sound great and are built like tanks. Never tried those Etymotics...think I may switch to those when my current senns die. |

I use Sennheiser PX-100 for my mp3 and Sony MDR-7506 for turntables. Pretty simple.
