A disatisfied hdj-500 owner, anyone else have this problem?
A disatisfied hdj-500 owner, anyone else have this problem? Posted on: 12.05.2011 by Mellisa Calenda So i had my first club gig last evening
, it went awesomely except for one thing i could not for the life of me hear my head phones. I have a pair of pioneer hdj-500's even when i turned the volume for the headphones on the mixer almost all the way up i could barely barely hear the kick drum. And since i was manually beet matching the hole time it was a little scary being barly able to hear if i was on beet or not. Has anyone else had this problem before? is something wrong with my headphones? Am i doing this wrong? | |

| Dana Ordinario 12.05.2011 | I plan on picking up a set of the HDJ-500's but only as a backup pair. I love my HD-25's best investment I have purchased so far. But I would like a decent pair to take with me when I travel on vacation or working in my office away from my DJ area. Have you had any other problems besides some not so great isolation issues? |
| Leeanna Ayla 12.05.2011 | If you want $100 headphones the Sony MDR7506 are the best you can get IMO. Built like tanks with actual metal and the isolation is great. The HD25's are great headphones and are probably worth the money, but they do squeeze my head pretty tight and I have a small head. All that said I can really tell the difference between both of those and my Ultrasone's, their marketing about being better for your ears is true. I can really tell a difference after wearing them for hours. There's a lot less fatigue in my ears with the Ultrasone's. Shameless plug http://djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=29514 |

| Julissa Serrone 12.05.2011 | man I've been believeing about picking up a pair of these and this is the first bad review i've seen on them. Wonder if it was the mixer or the headphones? Tekki posted he really like them. What other cans have you used and how would you compare them. I currently have 7506's and was believeing about a white pair of 500's as summer parties are starting to liven up in Miami. |
| Mellisa Calenda 12.05.2011 | Yah it was probably silly of me to to keep trying to turn it up. It just kinda sucks when you spend $100 on "DJ" headphones and they dont really work for that... :\ |
| Danae Dumler 12.05.2011 | I'm guessing the sound isolation on those headphones isn't what it could be... Do you use the same mixer you use at home? It's possible it's a problem with the mixer but my guess is it was just too loud at your gig and that was the first real test of sound isolation in your pioneers. Try some in-ear monitors instead, or get yourself a set of cans known for isolation (sennheiser hd-25s, aiaiais, etc). But don't keep turning the volume up! That's an excellent way to ruin your hearing... |
