Suggestions on DJ Headphones?! Posted on: 23.01.2013 by Shonna Trantow My last pair of sennheiser headphones were destroyed at a house gig. I'm looking forward to buying another pair of headphones. My price range $100-150. Suggestions?
Rolanda Clodfelder 25.01.2013	Originally Posted by bryanf101 Yup!! I completely agree with you. It makes sense but i would say opinion differs from person to person. Not half as annoying as the swiveling cups meaning you need to untangle every three tracks - I hate the bloody things with a vengeance. Frequency Range:30 -16,000Hz Not great if you are a person who can still hear frequencies above 16k My Sony MDR-V6's go from 5

Danae Dumler 26.01.2013	Originally Posted by deevey Hope you mean the V700/500 ? The v700's are IMHO are overweight, badly designed (crack at the hinge) and wayyyy over exaggerated bass and sure to last a year maybe where the 7506/V6 just keep giving for decades. Yes exactly the ones sorry I thought those were the ones talked about. The bass isn't any more exaggerated than most DJ headphones in my opinion; in general their sound is really nice. But yeah that crack at the hinge is exactly what happened to three different pairs I had ... Sorry I didn't remember the numbers; I believe the last time I used a set was 2001 or something.
Cole Maroto 25.01.2013	Originally Posted by djproben A bit more you can afford the ATH-50s which have a great reputation (I haven't listened to them myself but people whose ears I trust swear by them for production) for about $150 or so. those are what i use and i like them very much. i was able to get 2 pairs new (one for me and my gf) from guitar center for $75 each by a slick price matching deal a couple of years ago. you can grab them for about $120 now. they sound great to me and are pretty comfortable but i hit my threshold at about 2 hours of constant wearing. that seems to happen on most headphones for me though. i was considering a pair of beyerdynamics as well, but when i got that deal on the ath50s i had to take it as i couldn't find a lower price on those. i will say the dts are the most comfortable headphones i've ever tried on...by leaps and bounds. it's like wearing velvet pillows and they sound great too.

Not great if you are a person who can still hear frequencies above 16k My Sony MDR-V6's go from 5–30,000 Hz. 13 years old, only needed to replace the pads so far and they are far-far-far from end-of-life. And are around $70 .. the same headphone as MDR-7506 without the gold connector and few bucks cheaper. Regards the HD-25 though, The do sound great, nice and light and sit on my head pretty well .. But the cables Ugh!!! FFS Replaceable parts are great and all, but my mates were always needing new cables every other week and they are not THAT cheap. im going to agree with you on the cables the red and black connectors (going into the drivers) are the weakest point of the HD25 - after awhile sound will cut off on one side and requires some adjustment to fix google this and you will find literally hundreds of posts of people complaining of the same thing my hd25 is starting to go funny again now with the same problem

Rose Schneeberg 26.01.2013	What headphones under 100 bucks do you believe are the best??

Rolanda Clodfelder 25.01.2013	Those Sonys are great headphones for DJing but they break after a year, almost guaranteed. Hope you mean the V700/500 ?

Lauretta Ehrhorn 25.01.2013	The 25s work for me but I'm deaf. The AKG 701s are an amazing headphone for the price if a little ugly.

Danae Dumler 25.01.2013	Those Sonys are great headphones for DJing but they break after a year, almost guaranteed. I went through three sets before looking at other phones because I liked the sound and fit so much. Now I use TMA-1s and love them; perfect sound isolation for my ear shape and the sound is fantastic. I believe HD-25s are really similar in terms of sound signature and fit. Some people prefer over-ears for isolation; to me those always sound leaky (I've used A+H XD-53s and Ortofon O-1s quite extensively and while both sound phenomenal - the Xones a bit better or at least louder - I had to turn them up too loud in loud clubs for my comfort level due to leakage). But this really depends on the shape of your ears and head because I have seen people say the exact opposite about the same cans. If your budget is around $100 then the Sonys will be good for a year or so until you can afford better cans; hopefully they won't break before that. In the same price range you really can't go wrong with the Xone XD-40s or the Pioneer HDJ-500s, both of which will run $99 list. A bit more you can afford the ATH-50s which have a great reputation (I haven't listened to them myself but people whose ears I trust swear by them for production) for about $150 or so. But if you can afford to go a bit higher I highly recommend the TMA-1s or the XD-53s if you prefer over-ears.
Jetta Drenzek 25.01.2013	I use Numark Electrowaves. I'm a big naysayer of Numark and bought the headphones out of desperation, planning to upgrade soon after, but I've actually grown quite fond of them. Comfy as anything, and they've got more bottom than Jennifer Lopez.
Mellisa Grecu 25.01.2013	Beats are cheesy and cliche imo, i just picked up some sonys from best buys that were only 79.99 they are nice and clear with some legit bass. i was gonna go for some Monsters, but i saw these and for the price, it couldnt be beat, especially after listening to the madeon demo they had with em haha, they are built for djing and look nice, as far as durability goes i coudndt say because i have only had them for a month, but so far so good.

Milda Miyazono 25.01.2013	Get HD 25's they are awesome and all the parst are replacable.
Ettie Trischler 25.01.2013	Originally Posted by DJZILCH the hd25sp's dual cable wiring is a bit annoying - i always prefer single sided cable, but each to their own perhaps Yup!! I completely agree with you. It makes sense but i would say opinion differs from person to person.
Kandra Fagler 25.01.2013	Originally Posted by bryanf101 Sennheiser’s HD 25 SP headphones are best headphone in my opinion. Check its specification and features mentioned below: Specifications: Frequency Range:30 -16,000Hz Weight-115g Cord Type-straight, double-sided, detachable Cord Length-1.5m Jack Size/Type-3.5mm, gold-plated Features: Folding-No Rotating Earcups-Yes Jack Adapter Included-Yes Carry Pouch Included-No Replaceable Parts Available-Yes the hd25sp's dual cable wiring is a bit annoying - i always prefer single sided cable, but each to their own perhaps
Lashawn Maycock 25.01.2013	Senns HD25's to be honest OP, as many have said above, proven over years. Although I own and use Technics RP-DJ1200's which I've had for 17 years+, still the same pair and not let me down once, they've been heavily gigged and I will admit the cups are well worn and there is a bit of tape support the arms, they're still spot on audio wise after all the bashing they've had.
Ardella Okafor 25.01.2013	Great bang-for buck, multi-purpose cans. They make headphones for companies like Allen & Heath! Over ear 50's mean great isolation, they fit comfortably and they pull double duty as production monitor headphones too! In the states I believe they run between 100-150. I've had mine almost a year now and have taken them all over Thailand, where the travelling can be rough at times. They're still going strong.
Ettie Trischler 25.01.2013	Sennheiser

Ming Devis 24.01.2013	TMA 1's. Best I've used
Antoinette Harbst 24.01.2013	Old 4chan pic, but I've used this to buy my headphones for years. Def worth the read. Maybe we should sticky this or something? This does get asked a lot. 1355423361836.jpg
Corie Murtagh 24.01.2013	Forget about it. Go big or go home! Get some beyerdynamic t70p headphones and then get them recabled for a longer cable and then seal the ports by BTG AUDIO!!! Out of your price range. But save man. and you wont ever look back
Marybeth Viscione 24.01.2013	Originally Posted by xs2man This gets asked every week. Sennheiser HD 25's are ALWAYS the answer. Whether they are in budget or just out of budget, just get them and be done with it. ^^What he says^^

Kandra Fagler 24.01.2013	i have my sennheiser hd25 for 5+ years now (maybe longer - ITS OLD) the only problem is the sound cutting off sometimes (and needs to wiggle the plugs a bit) but they always continue to work at the end of the day and man they get trashed!
Elizabet Sledz 24.01.2013	I managed to pickup the HDJ 1500's for 135, and was pleasantly suprised. Really nice isolation, comfortable (and you can swap over HDJ-2000 earpads if you prefer), and while I found them a touch bass heavy, I find that it's ideal when trying to beat-match your kicks. Otherwise you can't go wrong with the Sennheiser HD 280 pro's. Had mine for almost 9 years, and loved them to bits
Antoinette Harbst 24.01.2013	If you can hold on till tomorrow I have the exact thing you need on my laptop.
Marcie Gobble 24.01.2013	Pioneer HDJ-500R DJ Headphones paid @ 99 bucks a year ago and they still going strong.
Jolynn Schroyer 23.01.2013	Anything with a warranty. Headphones are notorious for breaking, doesn't matter if they are five hundred dollars or seventy dollars they all break. Get a warranty and save yourself the hassle.
Randal Biza 23.01.2013	This DJTT post is relatively recent, but they maybe beyond your price range http://www.djranking s.com/2012/12/0...ones-reviewed/ I like the Sony MDR-7506. Only like $100.
