Steve Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm after a new pair of headphones for DJing. Under £200. Will fit on my big head and be comfortable. Good sound. Recommend something...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 aiaiai altho my pioneer hdj-1000s have lasted, but the brackets arent great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm worried that those AIAIAI ones will be too small. I don't really like the HD-25s that much and they're the same kind of thing right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 they go pretty big, im not a fan of the HD-25s and i like the tma-1s.im more impressed the tma-1s go so small. atlho check out Shure's headphones i remember really liking a pair of those before i got the aiaiai's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 There's so much choice. It's fucking me up. I wish there was 1 type that everyone favoured, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Those look niiiiice! £126 on sale on Amazon at the moment too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Cheap and cheerful big DJ cans: sennheiser hd215. Sound great for the price and they've been around the world with me, removable cord too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 £60 on Amazon including a bag. Bargain. I might order all of these and see which I like best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to hear your thoughts on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I had the HD215's and they fit really nice (and my head is massive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Getting the Sennheiser HD25-1II was probably the best investment I've ever made. The sound quality on those headphones is WICKED. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Altho I wasn't happy to have to pitch out another 100 for the damn Curley cable. Think that's stock for y'all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 HD-25s all the way. Love the sound + mine came to me secondhand and have been used nearly every day since for the last 15 years with just two pad changes and recently 1 new wire.

Motek Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I dont really want headphones for DJing - cause im too old for that nonsense But I would like a nice pair for scratching and listening to music (I do most of my listening through headphones). I have been looking at some of the noise cancelling ones, I know they are for fashion victims but I have to admit that the Monster Beats sound lovely. Im in the US for the week - might have to buy something but there is so much choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 HD-25s Mo!.. Or anything but Dre's Beats. It's not that they're bad, just every pair at every price point carries a hefty "cunt tax" for having the Doc's name on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Those look nice. My fav open ears are Senns (or one of two favs). No cable is pretty kick ass. I have probably the older model of those for my TV. What they run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah, I also have the older model. The top end ones have an RRP of £240 in the UK, but you can get them for £180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motek Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Did you get any Steve? I'm debating between the sen215, the jvc ha-m750 or the akg k450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motek Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 After much deliberation Santa is bringing me a pair of v-moda crossfade m80s. I am slightly excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I ended up buying these as a birthday present to myself, although I haven't received them yet: - http://i.imgur.com/F3oSk.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
