Headphones Sticky - just an idea?
Headphones Sticky - just an idea? Posted on: 22.03.2012 by Rolanda Clodfelder Seeing as its one of the most Frequently asked questions perhaps named DJ/Production headphones. NOT a whats better than xyz, BUT more an informative piece about what NOT to buy (e.g. Dre beats/JVC/skullcandy etc) and what matters in a headphone e.g durability, frequency response, Sensitivity, comfort, flatness vs color. Of course suggestions could be made over time via the thread. I know I know you can search the for previous threads (if you are logged in), not everyone is a member who visits this community and no doubt some people who post looking for answers, sign up just to get an answer to that one question of which there a multiple threads comparing xyz. Just a crazy thought after I saw (yet another) headphone thread with Beats Being mentioned (and soon shot down). *edit* With a poll perhaps with the most popular "industry standard" brands so newbies at a glance can see what is the most popular brands/models overall. | |

For example In all honestly IMHO it makes FA difference to most DJ's in a club with a few thousand watts how perfect or how flat the sound reproduction is if you can't hear them (DT100's), or if the phones sound amazing but won't last more than three gigs before the hinges break. I'm sure plenty of Jocks on here like myself in their youth spent money on multiple sets of crappy cheapy headphones insisting that they were as good as XYZ before finally biting the bullet, listening to their peers and caving in to buy some quality cans - at least with a simple "why" and "how many are using" sticky that newbies can be pointed to a thread (albeit a locked one perhaps) with non-specific solid "professional" information on whats the "norm" in the DJ world. |

| Venetta Cawyer 23.03.2012 | I believe this is a great idea and when it gets green-lit, I'd like to write a view reviews |
| Shonda Soulier 23.03.2012 | Even worse... I'm seeing these starting to get mentioned |
| Brunilda Kora 22.03.2012 | Great idea. It could almost be like every single post is a review of a pair of headphones, with personal experiences shared. |
