Headphone tips
Headphone tips Posted on: 14.01.2011 by Ethyl Laface Hey guys,I am currently on the lookout for some fresh gear and I wanted to ask you guys about headphones. I'm looking for something in the $100-$200 price range (can go a little over) that would double as headphones for when I play gigs and when I work on remixes/bootlegs etc in Ableton. Would the Aiaiai TMA-1s do the trick? Ultimately I want "all-in-one" headphones. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated! //HawZee | |
| Dorie Scelzo 15.01.2011 | My HD25s survived a car wreck that ruined a macbook and an iPod that were in the same soft laptop case as them and that also totaled the car and left me strapped to a back brace in a trauma ward for 6 hours |

| Brittaney Maxedon 16.01.2011 | I am very happy with my westone UM-2's I got the recommendation from this site http://www.djranking s.com/2010/10/1...itors-for-djs/ |
| Danae Dumler 15.01.2011 | Yeah forget Beats. I got to try a few at CES and they sounded fine, a bit boomy, but the look really isn't all that and they are way too expensive for the sound you get out of them. I didn't even know they needed batteries too -- lame! I also saw some at Best Buy the other day and 2 of them were broken -- the headpiece was just cracked in half. |

| Vernie Beharry 14.01.2011 | It really all depends on how you use the cans for performances. . .I usually have one cup off to listen to monitors and cue up everything together. . I'm a hip-hop dj, so it's what I'm so used to. I haven't tried Aiaiai TMA-1 yet, but I'm not sure how well they'd stick to my head when I'm using cans the way I am. Everyone has their issues with the Sony MDR V700, but I've had mine for over 5 years, and I have not had 1 problem with em. . .except for replacing the earpads (pain in the arse!) I'm just tossing more options out there for ya that I'm a lil more familiar with: The Pioneer HDJ-2000 are awesome cans (outta yer price range though). Sony MDR-7509HD are real nice. I use these for my own studio, and have done gigs with em as well. ($20 over yer budget) Shure SRH750DJ are pretty decent, but the question for me is isolation for studio use and logevity. (around $150). Personally, I'd stay away from the Arial-7 (sound quality is so-so. Basically Sony MDR V700 knockoffs in different colors), Monster Beats (great, lound, & OVERPRICED!), and Skullcandy (sound quality SUCKS!). Like most everyone said. . .It is all up to you and what your comfortable with. |
| Maisie Marras 14.01.2011 | im using a pair pf pioneer hdj 500 and and a pair of denon hp1000 and no complaints on either |
| Gilma Marchini 14.01.2011 | I concur. A bit late, but the TMA-01's are the best headset I've worn. |
| Ethyl Laface 14.01.2011 | Thanks for the advice guys! I believe I'm going for the TMA-1's. |

| Patty Mcgilbra 14.01.2011 | Sennheiser HD 25 TMA-1 HDJ 500 Think those are the "main" headphones everyone talks about currently, just go check them out |
