Crappiest DJ Headphone Ever (NO crapping/hijacking, please)
View this Thread in Original format
ShadySlim
Okay, trancEaddicts, you think you know what's the best DJ headphones that you heard - but I have a question for you:

What is the crappiest (or worst) DJ headphone that you've ever heard - or have heard recently?

And please BE HONEST! Don't just bash headphones that you've never heard.

Before you start this please define what makes a headphone a DJ headphone??

Are we excluding multi purpose studio monitoring headphones like the V6 or HD280's and just choosing those models advertised directly for DJs?? or does this encompass everything?

This seems kinda pointless...
ShadySlim
Okay, I'm getting specific here.

I mean those headphones marketed as "bona-fide" DJ headphones (and not studio-monitoring 'phones that can be used for DJing).

Dunno then...the only DJ headphones i've tried are the Senns HD25, HD25 SP1 and Technics RPDJ1200 and i liked all of them. :)

So count me out of this one...
ShadySlim
I count myself out of this poll, too; I've heard only two of the so-called "bona-fide" DJ headphones (the Sony MDR-V500DJ and the MDR-V700DJ). Neither of those two impressed me much. :p

But then again I haven't heard any other brand or model of "DJ" headphones, so my answer for now is "Inconclusive".

digitor stereo headphones!

i bought these for $20 from dick smith electronics while i was waiting for me technics headphones to come in..

i'd have to say these are the worst i've ever seen/used :)

I had these old panasonic headphones and they suck. After i got the Mdr-v700 and it blew me away.

The only problem with those is that they are worth maybe $25 USD.. just to 'get the job done', and not to actually, you know, get the job done *well*...

hehehe I was just about to say Sony MDR-V500 "DJ"... a local record shop has them on their decks, I hate using those.. :toothless

Why? Crappy build, crappy sound, crappy isolation, oozing with crapness... :) Of course, if you don't know much better then it's "okay" I guess. But definitely don't bring them to the club.

Even the V700's are better, which tells you something. ;)

Sony MDR v500 , they dont isolate, you just cant hear it , i also used the V700 but that one worked fine:)

Afternative, you're in Europe... you SO have to check out the Sennheiser HD25, or for a studio-ish version, the HD280 Pro...
