CTW Members jon_m Posted September 16, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted September 16, 2003 senheiser hd25 or sony mdr 7506 are the only two really just a matter of what you find more comfortable i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members Mr Happy Posted September 16, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted September 16, 2003 ur best bet is to find out what frequency’s u want emphasised most. i find that diff DJ headphones have varying sound quality. my preference is the senheiser hd25 as they r crystal clear with the percussion. if found other head phones to be a little less 'precise' in that range yet more receptive in the sub/bass regions. then basically just go out and give em a try. money wise i think u'll be looking at between £80-£120 for some top quality profession headphones i'm sure some 1 will correct me if they dissagree or have a better approach Quote Mr Happy's fishy fish MangaFish munch munch MSN & e-mail - mangafish@mangafish.net AOL - MangaMorgan Online mixes - http://www.mangafish.net/mixes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members Rob D Posted September 17, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted September 17, 2003 Sony MDR-V700 are the one's that a lot of people use - and they are good, as are the Pioneers HDJ's, about the same price as the sonys. I didnt rate the sennheisers at all - they make good hi-fi headphones but i dont like their dj ones. Personally I would go for the sony's in term of sound quality, comfort and value for money as you can get them for about £80 if you shop around.

CTW Admin James Posted September 17, 2003 CTW Admin Share Posted September 17, 2003 My Sony's (cant remember model until I get home) were £70 reduced from about £120, I got them in Tottenham Court Road, London - can get some superb bargains there and can banter. I would agree you should spend as much as you can afford on headphones. I've used mine primarily for playing synths over mixing but its as important in mixing i would assume to hear everything thats going on. phones should be thought of like speakers - would you compromise on quality on your speakers ?

CTW Members goshow Posted September 17, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted September 17, 2003 Well, i appear to have got my choice down to the sony's, Pioneer's, Technics and senheisser (sp). At the mo i'm favouring the technics or the pioneers, but can anyone tell me the pro and cons of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members goshow Posted September 17, 2003 Author CTW Members Share Posted September 17, 2003 Forget all that, just ordered the Technics RPDJ1210. Purely and simply because i've just seen a picture of Yoji with a pair round his neck, If they're good enough for him, they're good enough for me! (and because miss loud uses them!!) If i dont like em i'll sell em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
