porrtis Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 hey guys, sorry for all my recent threads about asking these kind of things. but after coming back from such a long hiatus i am really a bit overwhelmed by the amount of new things whilst many other things i used to prefer are discontinued or mostly dated nowadays. anyway, i am looking for headphones for my scratch practise sessions that can go from 30minues to like 1h+ nonstop cutting. i used to have technics dj headphones like 10years ago and the oldschool SONY's which looked cool and pretty DJish but if i recall correctly they died pretty quick. i used the search function and been digging in some older threads but it was mostly the Sennheiser HD-25's that have been recommended. unfortunately they're a bit above my current budget. is there any nice alternative for about 50-100€? i have a massive head and i'd appreciate over-ear headphones. i never liked on-ears and the sennheiser HD-25's appear to be on-ears anyway. i don't plan to use them for things like producing, it's mainly scratching and anything else i can do on my turntables basically. i just hate unplugging things continously. they should just feel comfortable wearing and my cuts shouldnt sound too crappy on them. thanks for any suggestion! highly appreciating your help once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexinoodle Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Look at Superlux, they are the kings of low cost headphones, you can get killers for between 30-50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 if you need a second option I'd highly recommend sennheiser hd280 pros. I find them super comfy to wear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broke Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I wouldn't use HD-25s for extended practice sessions anyway, they're very hard on the ears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor dane Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 hd 280 are good but you get more clarity in the hd 25 .. momentums are really good and comfy but pricey.. i use bowers & wilkins p5 and im really happy with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor dane Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 go with sennheiser imo i love the brand.. momentums are the best ive heard then hd 25 then hd 280 but ive only heard those three .. its personal preferance but i think over ear are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHouse Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have the 25s and love them, originally having the 280s, which were good too. Ironically, I seemed to get more ear fatigue with the 280s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
