Jaytee Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 What's the best headphones in your opinion in terms of price, quality, clarity etc. I got recommended the Seinshauer HD 25 headphones. I know decent ones all cost 250+But what's the best one in your opinion overall? Quote
Genetic Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 i recommend hdj1000's from pioneer, i've had mine for over 2 years still work excellent, have taken these out bush, they block sound, and you can pick them up on ebay for a decent price- usually under the 200 mark, be carefull though there are some what i believe to be knock off's, these usually have black extensions instead of silver, although i have not confirmed this with pioneer.

CBG Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 hey man, Audio Technica sell a re-badged version of my Xone Xd 53's. They're called pro 700s or something. Apparantly they sound basically the same but the build quality isnt as good. And my XD53s sound fucking wicked, a lot of pros use them.But yeah, Sennheisers are good, i dont like how they sit though, was talking to Grant Smillie on wednesday and he was using the pioneers, then the sennheisers.Wat else... you cant go wrong with sony either.They're all basically the same.Just remember that they are DJ headphones, not ipod headphones, they have a higher impedance, therefore they need more power to drive them. Power that a ipod cannot supply. Quote
Jaytee Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Oh seriously? These headphones won't work with your iPod or do you mean it drains the batteries extremely fast?I was thinking of getting the Pioneer 1000 or HD 25 headphones. Quote
CBG Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 no they will work, definetily. but you wont get as much volume. You'll get a fair amount though.So I spose they'd be ok. But whod wanna carry round headphones with a massive cord like most pro headphones have? better just to get the sennheiser in-ear phones that I have. Mad sound and awesome isolation. Quote

Mad sound and awesome isolation.Haha I haven't seen the cords, they're like 2m long ay and about as thick as HDMI cable?I don't think I can afford another headphones and just stick with my crappy iPod white ones.How much did your sennheiser in-ear headphones cost?

CBG Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 The sennheisers cost me about $80 from Jb Hi-fi. Pretty gd man, real comfortable, amazing isoloation. Quote
Jaytee Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Wow seriously $85?They must be the SP ones then... not the ones that cost around $250. Quote

BarsTards Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 i recommend hdj1000's from pioneer, i've had mine for over 2 years still work excellent, have taken these out bush, they block sound, and you can pick them up on ebay for a decent price- usually under the 200 mark, be carefull though there are some what i believe to be knock off's, these usually have black extensions instead of silver, although i have not confirmed this with pioneer.Dude the ones with the black extensions are the real ones, the ones with the silver extensions are the Chinese replica's.

Tomy Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 i only use technics rp-dj1200 (i think thats what they're called) been using these headphones for over 5 years, never had any drama's and they can take a beating. RRP? i think $260? i picked up a pair for $159 at storedj's sale on saturday. Quote
Genetic Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Dude the ones with the black extensions are the real ones, the ones with the silver extensions are the Chinese replica's.yeah i wouldn't be too sure of your statement there i bought my head phones from a legitmate pioneer retailer, and they have silver extensions Quote
CBG Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 well at least he produced a post that makes some sense lol Quote
Intell-I-Gence Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Sennheiser HD 280? very happy, comfortable and good quality for the price. Im just not a fan of how the hdj1000's speaker sits right on your ear, i need some breathing space Quote
Genetic Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 yeah i know what you mean but after a while they loosen up Quote
