Trevor Sonney 21.05.2012 | Great thread. I was about to post one of these earlier. What do you guys prefer, over-ear or monitor buds (ex: shure)? |

Once overstretched they fractured at points and eventually broke when a car wash employee was stuffing them into the rear pocker behind my drivers car seat. luckily the car wash replaced them for free and Pioneer replaced them for they were still under warranty!! sold one pair to a buddy and one back Guitar Center and ordered the new HDJ-2000-K model, for $235 so only a net cost of $50 on my end after hocking the replacements. not a bad situation other than being without headphones for 2 months. |

Jewell Knopps 19.05.2012 | I believe the noise cancelling is the best part, go to even the noisiest place and you can still hear your music. |

Yong Aptekar 19.05.2012 | ^friend of mine just got these. Really nice fit, good sound too. And they come with a flat and a coiled chord. |
Candy Vardy 20.05.2012 | Dude for decent headphones at that price point I'd recommend you to get a pair of Pioneer HDJ 500's. You can pick them up for less than $100 these days and they come in 3 cool colors. Good buld quality, great sound, and they look good too. |
Barton Rigazio 20.05.2012 | Yee actually starting my 3rd yr in med school soon. Got a bunch of friends who do rotations in Bakersfield actually haha. But I digress! Gluck wit the headphones OP! |
Margie Pavell 19.05.2012 | next time use the sear-...oh wait, nevermind...GI trakt got you covered hey GI are you pre med or something? |
Barton Rigazio 19.05.2012 | Uh oh watch out for the search function posts :-p Under $100 you say? Here you go: Sony Mdr-v6 $80 (or Sony Mdr-7506 $100) - same exact headphones, prices fluctuate on Amazon throughout the year. Watch out for fakes on eBay. - tried and tested, will last years, used in clubs by the likes of Kaskade, PvD... Allen n Heath Xone XD-40 $100 -super comfortable - my pair has lasted 2+ years and is still going strong Ultrasone DJ1 $115 - $115 so $15 bucks over your limit but def worth looking into - US Are known for the technology they use in their headphones In ear monitors: Shure se215 $97 - high quality IEM's - sound will blow you away! Boom done :-) one piece of advice tho is if U can save up for the next price range bracket ($200), you can start looking at the industry standard HD25's $200, A&H XD-53's $180, Pioneer HDJ-2000's $245, etc. I'm sure I left some other good ones off this list too. Check out ProAudioStar.com, agiprodj.com, Zzounds.com. You can usually chat with them and they'll hook you up with lower than retail prices and also pricematch etc. Gluck! |
Otto Luthman 19.05.2012 | Good shout with the xone xd40's! If you can spend the extra go for the xone xd53's Best headphones I have ever owned |
Margareta Malman 19.05.2012 | Numark red waves (very bright) or xone xd40's probably the best in that price range. |
