[OT]DJTT; Pick out some new cans for me Posted on: 24.06.2011 by Dino Hapgood So when I first purchased my S4 a few months ago I got Reloop RHP-10's like an asshole because I wanted some semi-stylish cans and I thought it was cool. If you want a review of them: Sound quality: shiite Sound Isolation: Non Existent. In the few parties I played I could hear the music AND people talking. Trying to hear the mix was damn near impossible and they were more of a distraction than anything else. It's hard to mix when you can't hear shit and the sound is muddy even when your headphone cue volume is turned to max. Build Quality: ?? My fuckin pleather ear-foam pieces are cracked after just a few months, the sound cuts in and out on my S4 because the connection cable sucks. The coiled cord broke within 2 weeks. Price: 85 dollars of money that I should have thrown in a black hole. Now, don't get me wrong, these were fine for the bedroom where the ambient sound is just the song coming out of my monitors, but for anything more than just 1 other person sitting silently and listening they suck. Don't get them. Ever. I should have known better. I paid up for quality gear and then go with the shit cans because of my silly vanity and attempt at saving a few bucks (or so I thought). Anyway - I have decided to just buy legitimate headphones that are tried and tested. I have decided between 3 - Pioneer HDJ-2000's Sennheiser HD-25's or AIAIAI TMA-1's Any other suggestions welcome. Would like to spend less than the cost of the HDJ-2000's. What I am looking for: Sound isolation Sound quality Build quality Comfort Extra points for: Ability to cook my breakfast while auto-syncing and mixing for me. Must also make song choices for me. Thank you. EDIT: Serious extra points if you can find a pair that kills drunk people when they try to put your cans on their head, come near your gear with booze, or try and touch your shit. I almost punched my friend on his 21st birthday last evening because he damn near broke the needles on my techs. | |

Alla Bluemke 24.06.2011 | I also have the HD25s I like them, but my grip is the cord, way too short. You can upgrade it but it will cost you an arm and a leg, to which you can get pio's. But the sound is great, the build is great. |
Jenise Kryszak 24.06.2011 | check out the xone xd-53 maybe? heard good things about em and they're cheaper than the pio's... |
Irwin Ney 24.06.2011 | I have a Sennheiser HD-25 and I'm very happy with it Did you checked the scratchworx mega review of headphones? Headphone Group Test 2010 http://www.skratchworx.com/reviews/headphones_2010.php |

Ashley Bernhoft 24.06.2011 | ultrasone dj1 pro not in your list but they have been tested and if you don't throw them around your room or into drunken peoples faces and don't want to spend $250 on headphones, get them: http://www.djranking s.com/2009/12/1...e-uber-review/ but if you really want to spend the money for the hdj-2000 they are equal to the ultrasone in sound. i second tito, if you want to spend the money they are a no brainer. the hd-25 are a classic, sound great and will last a decade, but they are nothing for a guy with glasses, you'll feel like you want to rip them of your head and jump until nothing is left after 30min of use. |
Regine Hulme 24.06.2011 | Hdj-2000 a no brainer. Despite al the hype around the tma, they are not even close to the pios. Even the senheiser are better ones over tma. I own the 3. |
