Headphones? wot do u use

[eyes without a face]

i prefer the Seinheisser HD25's, cant beat these babies imo, comfy as ****, can take a battering and i just think they are overall nicer to use than the Sony ones that everyman and his dog have got

[darkstar]

ask Sinner :P

[lunatrick]

The sennheiser hd25's are ok, but unless you buy the expensive ones ( £130+) which I think are the hd25 plus? you have those annoying wires coming from both sides, and as i have a large swede I used to find them uncomfortable...but yep you guessed it - now I have the sonys...not sure how long they'll last - I've had them about 6 months, and i play out about 6 times a month, and they're holding up ok. I find the sound quality good , and to be honest the sennhesiers start fraying and looking sh*t after about the same time, and the end of the day you can only expect about a year out of whatever headphones I reckon :wink:

ive got a pair of sony ones....there not the expensive ones they only cost £30 from comet.........bargin!!

ive had them 6 months now and there still goin.........laffin

[JACKSTAR]

I have 2 pairs of Technics DJ1200's which I love and they have never let me down. I tried the Sony ones as I think they look the best but once I tried them I hated them. I thought they weighed way too much and the sound leaked out of the cups. Senn's are good sounding but the leads get tangled up all the time and they just fall to bits. The Pioneer ones I thought were too big too with that annoying cup rest thingy. If you ever go on holiday to Thailand or Japan you can get the Technics headphones like me for £55 which is half price to the UK price.

[z0ki]

I got the Technics as well.
Paul said it they´re undestroyable, have an amazing sound, aren´t that expensive, comfortable to wear and look alright

[DJAmok]

Got the Technics as well, and I´m very happy with them. They were my xmas gift in December 2000, and have used them on a weekly basis since, both for production and DJing. They´ve never let me down, are comfortable, light and have a good clear sound.

th sony is pretty good...but is too big and heavy.
but the bass is soooooooo GOOOOOOOOD.
HAVE FUN.

[davethedrummer]

well the sonys have outlasted the hd25s by at least 6 months
but they're too big.
my hd25s are dead as a dodo
and they stink
they are in a pile in the corner humming.
the sonys still look fairly impressive until you put them on.
then you look like you've just robbed the bbcs wardrobe department
of space age headgear (come back blakes seven all is forgiven)
actually i was thinking of the cybermen.
the sonys only lie flat against you if you wear them the right way round.
wear them the wrong way and they stick into your chin if you put them round your neck.
technics used to be good,
what happened to that old model they made ?
i liked them
hmmm headphones , :roll: not very interesting are they?

can we discuss slipmats now?


sorry got carried away.

[Philth]

i have the hd25's... they are comfortable. don't like the sony's due to the space ship factor and i don't have that big of a cranium... so it looks like i am wearing a helmet. if i put them around my neck, i feel like i have been in a car accident and am wearing a neck brace.
i'll stick with the hd25's for now....

as for slipmats.... i prefer the round kind.

[DJPAUZE]

I use the sonys, theyve got great speakers in these phones. I know they are big and heavy and look like they were made with NASA space shuttle materials but when it boils down to the quality of sound ive heard nothing like them. Oh ya, and you also get a cool bag with them.

and as for slip mats i as well think that round work well and preferably made of felt.

Peace
Pauze :twisted:

The Big Silver sony's for the studio. an the cheap Techniques for djing, cause they are loud, cheap and can take a beating. also if you lose em somehow they are not that expensive to replace. Unlike those damn sony's they sound great but the plastic sucks on them. I had to replace em, cause I they plastic broke on em, very lame, especially when they are 100 somtin dollars, you could have spent on rekids.

[TRB]

I used a piooner headphone, but now I'm using hd25 and for me its perfect.

[Paul Nisbet]

Ah use the pioneer headphones, and i think they are the best headphones i ave ever used. i like the chunky headphones and hated the sennheiser 25's tbh. flimsy as ****.

[Inferno]

I'm using Sony now and gonna buy those Technics RP-DJ1210's

[Yoshimitsu]

Sennheiser HD270.... More sturdy than the HD25 & cheaper :lol:

[romelpotter]

i use SONY MDR7506 phones, I also use them for mixing my tracks. I think they are quality.

[EmotionComplex]

im going to have to invest in a good pair of headphones soon i think, i just use a 30 quid pair at home, they would die in a club :lol:

[DJ Corbzy]

Technics RPF500's or Sennies if I can borrow them :lol:

[Jay M]

technics 1210's love em

[Luke Revival]

HD25 are the best...sonys suck!

[Ryan]

TECHNICS 1200 :rambo:

THEY DO THE JOB!!!

[scotttechfunk]

I have HD25's, I like their lightness and their sound, but HATE the way the wires get sooooo tangled.

[Eddie]

HD25's all the way, the only problem i have found is the wire is too short and have nearly pulled my mixer off its desk many a time reaching for my next tune.

[Si the Sigh]

I had a pair of the Technics DJ1200's in black, with the anti-tangle lead, but I left them on the roof of my car when I had finished my set in Taunton and drove off... :doh: :cry:

[EmotionComplex]

ive got hd25s now :)

[Traxx]

Bit of a old thread but ive just got a pair of the technics 1210 headphones & they are really good. There really weird to use though compared to the last pair of headphones that i had. Best ive used out of the one's ive had a go of, Sennheiser, sony, stanton etc. The sound & fit when there on is ace. My only grumble is that im not one to leave them on my head once its mixed, more often then not ive always left them on my shoulder.

[Mindful]

Ive got a pair of Hd25s I love em to bits they have exelent sound quality very clear but im gonna get myself a pair of Technics for playing out and keep my 25s for home use me thinks.

[S/E]

I use the Stanton DJ Pro 2000S model. They are loud enough, have a mono/stereo switch, rest well around my neck and are easy to access without having to use my hands while they're sitting there. Some friends of mine have had them for a fair amount of time playing out and they have lasted. I just bought mine, so they haven't suffered too much wear and tear yet.

They only cost $94 Canadian.

Not a bad value for the money back in Toronto.

[Apex Beat]

HD-25's all the way. Perfection.

[icb]

technics rp-dj 1210, great headphones

[mikeconradi]

I've had my technics for almost 4 years now. Before that I went through 2 pairs of Sony 700's in 4 months. Maybe I just have a fat head but i love my technics.

[rs1800]

HD-25's love em exept the leads a bit too short

[Agent 24]

Yep, HD25s all the way... :love:
