Waldo Sinegal 25.11.2013 | Im looking for some good DJ headphones for around $100. I really like the classic DJ style thats good for one ear monitoring. Durability is important to me but 2nd to sound quality. Would prefer a coiled or even detachable cable and a foldable design if that helps narrow it down for suggestions. thanks |

Sony MDR V6 are insanely good studio monitor headphones. They dont look very cool but they sound amazing and have been used for years in studios,
Yes I know people will show you spec sheets and tell you about magnet types etc, however that seems to have been aligned in the past few years and the spare parts for both headphones are exactly the same I'm on my second pair in almost 15 years. The first pair of V6's which have been through hell and back, Gigged, stepped on, thrown around the house, dropped continually etc ...having almost worn through them (in the sense that you can can wear through clothing or shoes), it was time for a replacement. So after trying just about every headphone on the market for something else. a) As Comfortable b) Reasonably flat c) Tough as Nails d) Low enough impedance for a portable device/laptop e) Could multipurpose between Studio / Live comfortably f) Great isolation g) Foldable (Was willing to sacrifice this though) Nothing I tried ticked "all" the boxes above apart from the new Sony MDR-1, which:
However the problem with the R1, is that while they felt and sounded like my ideal headphone, they did not sound $200 MORE amazing than my aging V6's, in fact if it were a blind test it'd be pretty difficult to tell the difference - they are VERY similar sounding headphones with a little more low end super low bass* on the MDR-1. *Detail - not enhancement So when I saw Amazon had a deal on 7506's (same headphone) for $77 needless to say I pulled the trigger and are a VERY happy boy. I hope these ones last as long. After 15 years of abuse Are they the BEST headphone on the market? No, but they can certainly hold their own against pretty much any "DJ" headphone that is on the market right now and I can honestly say that in my opinion they are the best value professional headphones on the planet currently. |

Coretta Arey 17.11.2013 | Sony MDR V6 are insanely good studio monitor headphones. They dont look very cool but they sound amazing and have been used for years in studios, they have almost 2,000 reviews on amazon with a 5 star rating. Not to mention they are alos only 90 USD and with the velour earpad upgrade they are super comfortable too. |
Gaynell Rydberg 18.11.2013 | DT-770 get my vote. You can take a look at SEnnheiser HD25 and Audio Technica A700x/A900x. |

How do you guys feel about the Urbanearz Zinkels?
As a DJ headphone however, they will perform adequately, they are loud enough and have enough isolation to block out enough outside noise for monitoring and they look pretty good. However for a "listening" headphone IMHO they sounded really average, mid's and bass boosted and muddy and no real "excitement" in the highs. On another note I did not find them comfortable whatsoever. |
Coretta Arey 14.11.2013 | I recently bought the urbanears and they performed much better then I expected. I got them for around 70 dollars too. Great sound quality and isolation, and I have yet to have any durability issues. Ive seen some big names use them lately, only one I can believe of is Diplo who pretty much only uses these now. Definitely recommended! |
Ming Devis 13.11.2013 | I've never seen them in person but they are sold online pretty cheap. Reviews rate them as fairly average in the sound quality department. |
