Steve Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 They turned up today: - http://i.imgur.com/hFG4F.jpg I like them, but they seem a bit bassy for my taste. Great packaging. Great build quality. I've only used them for 20 minutes though, so I need some more time with them before I make my mind up about the sound, plus they probably need to break in a bit.

DJ Rock Well Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Nice headphones - still not sure how much fashion tax they include, but I do like them and if HD-25 a didn't exist, I'd try them out. So... New headphones, new mixer... Does this mean that there will be a new mix from DJ Sigma coming soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I just plugged them into my phone and they sound fucking great. All of my mixes are "coming soon", Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 yeh Steve, they do take abit of 'breaking in' and getting used to, theres definitely an added bass but i like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 All of my mixes are "coming soon", Rock. Funny you should say that... for the last 10 years I've been working on a project that will rock the very fabric of musical society to it's core... Also "Coming Soon" - watch this space mate... assuming I don't outlive you, you could well be in for a real treat when it's finished.

Steve Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 yeh Steve, they do take abit of 'breaking in' and getting used to, theres definitely an added bass but i like that. With older albums/tracks that were mastered before the "loudness wars" kicked in, they sound great. Really clear and quite well balanced, although I've not got the best ears to judge that - they sound good anyway. I was listening to some Stevie Wonder and an old EPMD album and the sound quality was fantastic. The sound isolation is very good too. They really bring out the bass in more recent music though and I think it's just a tad over-powering. Then again, my powered monitors are weak when it comes to bass and the Sennheiser headphones I use every day aren't that bassy either, so perhaps I've just become accustomed to the way those sound. @Rock - My 1,000 track multi-genre multi-tracked mix should be done soon too. But being serious, I really wish I could get my health sorted out, cos when "feeling like dog shit" is the norm it affects your motivation to do things.

DJ Rock Well Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah, I can understand that. I was mostly mocking my own efforts... that, and I do really like your multitrack stuff I've heard. Actually, one of the best and most inspiring articles I've ever read online about DJing was on djtechtools by some bloke called Sigma. Ever since reading that, I been nagging myself to properly learn a DAW or wave editor that deals with linear audio tracks so I can bite your moves.

Steve Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Cool man, thanks. The DJ TechTools article was unfortunately misinterpreted by quite a few people as a "how to polish up your shit live mix" tutorial. And these headphones have broken already. The sound only comes out of one earpiece. I've tried both cables and different sources, but it's the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 AIAIAI are trying to get me to pay for the return of the faulty headphones to Denmark. Oh heeeeeeeeeeeell no! These fools don't realise who they're messing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 mine are still great. i've been wearing them everyday to and from work, while at work, and djing with them at home.you must be clumsy... hope you get it sorted out tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I was walking around in the house listening to them while they were connected to my phone and they just stopped working. Nowt to do with clumsiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 AIAIAI coughed up for the return shipping no problem when I asked them, which was good because it cost £29 to send them back! The new pair arrived today and they're fine. It's kinda worked out in my favour, cos when I returned the other set I only had to return the actual headphones, so now I have 2 boxes, 2 lots of cables etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound only comes out of one earpiece. I've tried both cables and different sources, but it's the same. I read they are not well constructed. A shame since they look nice... esp the Fools Gold edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rock Well Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Jimmy was kind of in the same boat as you I think when he got the AIAIAIAIAI ones but ended up with some HD-25s about six months later. I got my Mk1 HD-25s secondhand about 12 years ago and have used them almost every day since... DJing, scratch practice, production, watching TV on my laptop, you name it, they do it. Three times a week they get bundled into a bag to got to the studio or school and a few years back I was out gigging most weekends so they seen their fair share of clubs, pubs, outdoor sound systems, smokey rooms and all the other places they tell you not to use electrical goods, plus my girlfriend likes nothing more than disrespecting my belongings. In this time I've replaced the cable once, the ear pads twice and the head band pads once, but mine were well used when they came to me and at least you can replace parts, plus I'm still on the original drivers so they haven't quite reached Trigger's broom status yet. I can't comment on price cos my mate used to work in the BBC equipment warehouse and robbed them for me... but I'd pay that bit extra if needed. You'll get more than 11 months out of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfsop Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Right now I'm looking for some decent and not too expensive headphones for deejaying at home.I used to have these before and they were good while they lasted: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphones-Lightweight-headset-SENNHEISER-Black/dp/B004D8N0IE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404830458&sr=8-1&keywords=sennheiser+hd+407But one side doesn't work anymore, so I'm looking for some new ones. I don't want to spend much more than about 40 pounds and they shouldn't be closed or too heavy and should be sturdy enough to withstand my habit of letting them fall on the ground every few days. I don't care too much about the sound. Just something robust and light-weight (yeah I know: MAKE UP YOUR MIND!). Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Go to you local Sennheiser dealer. Ask to try on a pair of HD-25s. Run like the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfsop Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hello Rockwell, I've followed your advice but as it turns out, the cord was firmly attached to the playback device of the store so my getaway only took me 1.8 meters far and straight into jail. As these are my only five minutes on the police computer, I'd like to ask you if you could be my attorney for the trial. Also, is it Dr. Rockwell or Dr. Rock Well? The judge needs to know in advance. REALLY hope to hear from you soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
