If anything breaks, you can find parts for them easily. I wouldn't look at any other pairs of headphones personally. Don't like how bulky the Pios are. |
| Candy Vardy 16.12.2012 | I've owned both the HDJ2000's and Sennheiser HD 25's. I currently use the Sennheiser's and love them. I wouldn't change them for anything else ever. They are lightweight which is great for extended periods of wear. They are well built, super comfortable, and they sound amazing. Don't get me wrong the HDJ's were excellent also, right up there with the best. I just found them to be heavy, and to bulky for my use. They also used to get quite uncomfortable, and make my ears sore after extended usage. I'd say if you get a chance and try both, and see which suits you more, but I'd recommend the Senn's anytime! |
| Jonas Hanway 16.12.2012 | Where are you based? I don't get why what you're headphones look like relates to rep/popularity. Ability should be what gets you noticed. A mate of mine who DJ's in Liverpool has Sennheiser HD25 MK2's and she "pimped them out" I haven't got a picture of her, but there is one of me sporting them! And a flower haha. |
| William Muccio 16.12.2012 | i believe im going for the hdj1500 or the rhp20s which look like hdj2000 clones |
| Carlee Pickard 15.12.2012 | Are you kidding? If looks aren't important to you that's fine, but shit i'd much rather wear something that looks good then doesn't. And Beats aren't bad for DJ'ing, I just prefer not to use mine since I don't want to risk breaking them hahaha. HDJ-2000's though my dude, i'll be VERY surprised if you're unhappy with them. I've owned or own: TMA-AIAIAI 1's Beats Pro (the highest ones) HDJ-2000 AKG K702 Used: HDJ-500 HDJ-1000 and a ton of others (except hte Senn HD 25's) HDJ-2000, built like tanks, look great, feel great, comfy, awesome all around. |
| Werner Bile 15.12.2012 | who the hell are you playing for that are impressed by a dj wearing Beats? |

| Bunny Sockel 15.12.2012 | I love my HDJ 2000's best headphones I have ever bought. They look really good as well. |
| Carlee Pickard 15.12.2012 | I have posted in a ton of threads about it, so you can find a bit more detailed feedback in one of those, but i'd take the HDJ-2000's any day of the week. Hands down. |

15.12.2012 | I've gone through about 6-7 headphones, and I can definitely say you will not find a better pair than the Sennheiser HD25 1-II. They're perfect. |
| Tamela Batara 15.12.2012 | My opinions are based on personal experience, and that was only gained through thorough research before purchase. I personally bought my headphones based on sound quality and robustness, with a lot of personal recommendation thrown in for good measure. My decision was not based on the look of the headphones. If that's the important to you, and the image they portray, then get the Pioneers, or some Beats. I based my purchases on performance. And thus my recommendations are also based on performance. |
| William Muccio 15.12.2012 | may i ask why? i checked out the ones you suggested and im not a big fan of the design of the first 2, looks are very important, for some reason people here pay lots of attention to how "cool" your headphones are and associate your level with the headphones, its dumb but it works, thats why i sometimes mix with beats even though i hate them just for marketing purposes, and the ones you suggested look rather i dont know, simplistic? why wouldnt you recommend the ones ive chose? |
| Tamela Batara 15.12.2012 | You have listed a lot of headphones there, and none of the 3 I would recommend. I would be looking at: Aiaiai TMA-1 - Lovely, small, classy set. Great sounding. Sennheiser HD 25 II - Brilliant. Many, many recommendations for these. Small, Lightweight, and super durable. Allen & Heath Xone XD2-53 - A beast. Probably more compareable to the HDJ 1500/2000 than the others. Great sounding, and very sturdy. I have both of the latter 2, but would have had the TMA-1's had they been in stock, anywhere, when I was in the market. Out of the list you have, I'd probably go for the Audio-Technica's, but I would pick up either of the ones I have listed without hesitation. |
