Headphones

BASTARD BASTARD BASTARD the swing mechanism on my sonys got broken by my "mate" last week. two and a half years i'd had 'em as well! proper bastard. insulating tape doesn't seem to have fixed it, either, which is a shame, because it seems to fix everything else.

 

so i'm on the lookout for a replacement pair just now.

 

i LOVE the sony v500s and want to get the v700s because they're silver and so will obviously make me look so much more cool. and yeah they sound good as well, i guess.

 

i was just wanting to ask what people recommended - i don't really like the way the sennheiser hd25s fit on my ears, my "mate" has them and i'm not really a fan...

 

has anyone tried/got the pioneer hdj1000s? any other recommendations?

 

agadoo

I've got a pair of Technics DJ-1200's which I love to bits, comfy, good quality sound. But I don't think they are as repairable as the Seinheiser ones. They look good though, think there is a 1210 version out now with silver bits on!

Before I got my v700's i tried the pioneers, sennheiser and technics, but the v700's i found to still be the best. And i shopped around on the internet and got them for £85, so if you look around they are better value compared to pioneer's, which I didnt rate as highly.

Ed> cheers for the recommendation, i had a look at them on HTFR, i like the quote in the specs:

 

"splash proof specifications for high resistance to perspiration "

 

urrrggghhhhhhhhh, haha

 

Rob D> thanks for your opinion - i think deep down i'm just wanting someone to convince me that i should get the sonys and that they're worth hammering the switch card for...

[Evilhedfuk]

R U really that Diddy????

[Lisa]

I must be, cos I put em on & as soon as I move my head they fall off!!!

there r 2 versions of the sennheisers

 

- hd25s - very loose fitting

 

& the more expensive

 

- hd25 - much tighter fitting (these r the bollox IMHO!!)

 

[Lisa]

well i must need the more expensive!!!!

[jeff]

i have had my pair for 2 years & they r still fine!!!

 

the best thing about them is u can replace everything on them!
