Having tried the K167's they are bloody good, the Audiophiles on Head-Fi would disagree as well with good reviews all round, they are NOTHING like beats whatsoever, and are pretty reasonably priced too for what you get,
Ignore the Tiesto "logo" as you obviously hate the guy (cant say i'm a fan either) but they are actually decent cans.
I hope they realize the Tiesto thing is turning off alot of people and so they might sell a few more.
We always say... Dj's need to diversify....diversify. But when they do. Booooo hooooo..... I just wish Tiesto would still do trance, we was at his height then.
I agree with that statement. Also on an off note, his line of headphones suck more "Richard" than Beats.
I just don't believe it really matter who plays Deep House, and who "jumps on the bandwaggon", music is there to be appreciated, and world-class DJs don't play music they don't like. If Tiesto likes Deep House then power to him for getting a chance to play it in front of people - I know everyone on this community
would love their shot.
Every sound gets exhausted at one point or another, it's only a matter of time - but then like everything, sounds come back around. Look at the "deep house" of today, it's mostly recycled vocals etc from 90s rnb. Hell, everyone's using 909 sounds now, you all know how long they've been around.
This is nothing to be bitter about, things like this happen and times change and evolve, there is no point wasting time being bitter about it.
And remember, there are DJs out there who will push their favourite genre for years as it dips in and out of popularity, look at the original house, drum and bass, techno etc producer who stick by their sound forever and are extremely popular in doing so.

All genres of dance music go through cycles of more mainstream popularity, become saturated as big labels/trend followers jump in to make some
The problem with the sound of house in the UK atm is that it's too clean, too sanitary, it's missing a lot of what makes the UKs take on things great. Think back to genres the UK has pioneered in the past, there's always something edgy about them, a roughness or a sense of unease/danger. Jungle, DnB, UK Garage, Grime, Dubstep... even Bassline to an extent. This new breed of house, whatever you want to call it, is definitely missing that IMO.
it took less than a year to ruin dubstep. Let's hope the same doesn't happen to deep house.
There's nothing in common between the situations. No one calls it deep house anymore (maybe Americans do, but definitely no one in the UK) and the new wave of house is actually good, it's not just a bunch of talentless producers abusing one sound.

I get what you're saying, but did it really "ruin" dubstep? I don't enjoy the real deal any less than I used to just because a pop version of it now exists. New genres spring from old ones all the time, but there's no reason the original genre can't still thrive.
I believe with the genre "deep house" surfacing to the mainstream, it will be saturated in a year's time and big name producers will exhaust the sounds that makes it "deep". look at dubstep. I do like deep house and the other types of house (garage, afro, disco, minimal, tech, jacking) that are getting the exposure that it deserves but i am afraid it will begin to be overkill. As long as these guys release quality music in moderation and correctly then maybe there can be a bright future for one of my favorite sub-house genres.
and yes, after listening through to it, its mostly tech house.

I've owned the akg167 and heard the 267. Both really do suck, and I use that word with meaning. In terms of sound and also value...the k81 and k181 are much much better. For djing and mixing I personally use pro 700 mk2. I was using the 181 for 5 years, the pro 700 mk2 blows it out of the water. The sound that comes out of these is amazing. Build quality is solid. Unlike the Tiesto series which is built like a menstruating teenage girl.
I live in Canada and I'm jumping on the wave, I used to primarily spin Hip-Hop, R&B, Reggae/Dancehall. I would always have some EDM, mainly progressive and electro, but since the deep house wave has begun for me I've been a disciple. It all happend when I heard Hot Since 82 for the first time, I actually had to go see him that week just because I enjoyed some of the songs to much. What exactly differentiates deep house from the rest? Is Hot Since 82, or Dusky-type tracks with those huge ambient drops considered deep? I'm in love with it and will spin it forever now. Too bad is just started to make noise here overseas, people don't open as fast over here but the ones that have converted show no signs of ever wanting to go back

I actually gave his set a listen. A lot of it is tech house and not much deep house. But when you believe about it, maybe this is a good thing. If a genera stays the same then it gets stale which isn't the best thing. But when we start to argue about whats deep house & whats tech house or garage then we start to loose sight of whats important, that being the music. I love the fact that good deep house is still considered underground but if there aren't any new listeners then artist get stagnant and after a while theres nothing new. Maybe by Tiesto slowly starting to shine some light on deep & tech house then the way the world see's EDM will change and we wont get as much generic crap. We'll get more organic and soulful music... but then again it might all back fire and go to hell >_>
I heard it a bit as well as I was driving around. It definitely didn't have the soulful deep house musicality to it, but it was kinda cool. Ironically, I thought some of his transitions were crap - really abrupt and not blended at all. It was a nice change of pace, and some of the tunes are actually pretty tight, but definitely not deep.
I totally agree with you, his transitions weren't that great. I thought they would have been better. Maybe his next one will be much better in terms of feeling and transitions

I believe Tiesto and other superstar DJs get a lot more of the casual music lovers/listeners. His attempting to play "deep house" will bring about a lot more casual "fans" to the genre/sub-genre, causing more "sellouts" to make what they consider to be "deep house." Essentially, this has the potential to cheapen or dilute what deep house is really all about. Of course, it could do the opposite, but that seems highly unlikely given superstar DJs catering to what I'd refer to as "top 40" dance music.
I used far too many quotation marks.
Bassy house has pretty much taken over the UK, bloody Au Seve. (it's actually a great song, but so overplayed everywhere)
the whole new "deep house" sound is more tech house than anything. If he was playing Masters at Work or Kerri Chandler then I'd be suprised. Maybe people will actually start wanting to hear this stuff at clubs more.
I agree with you the NEW "deep house" is actually Minimal Dark Tech AKA Coma House
Real Deep House was Naked Music, MAW, DJ MFR, etc.
fair point, i meant it more in a 'who cares about tiesto anymore' way anyway :+)
