headphone opinions

[Gandy]

going to get a new set of headphones, and would like your opinions on these three

http://www.storedj.com.au/products/product.php?id=184

the top 2 were recommended to me by the guy at storedj and he uses the 3rd one i linked (sennehiser hd25)

as always i would like some other opinions before diving in, i know the sennheisers are extremely popular, but not sure i understand how they would be so good at isolation if there not a closed cup setup?

xd 53 ftw times a milllion

[Gandy]

they fit the ear ok? what about blocking out the noise? i think i have medium ear size, there definitly not huge monkey ears anyways.

Sucks not being able to go in and try headphones because there is nothing remotely close to dj shops here...

[lloydc]

I know they're not on your list, but consider the HDJ2000s. They sound good, and are SOO comfy.

[Gandy]

cheers ill look them up

[Gandy]

wow, $419 for those hdj2000s...

[Jaz]

out of the links id go the XD's

[lloydc]

cheaper at djwarehouse from memory... I forgot to add that they are pricey. sorry

[Jaz]

Cheapest ive seen V

[lloydc]

^ that is so cheap

[Jaz]

way i see it, it will cost you about $300 for the 2000's, and around 250-300 for the others

then yeh id go the 2000's, they are regarded as 1 of the best sets of headphones around....

[Gandy]

so two votes for the xd's, can any one tell me why the sennheisers are so popular though? like literally every dj i know uses them or is getting them, there not that much more then the XD's with members price. I like the look of the XD's they look very comfy, the 2000's are just out of my price range, ive got a gift voucher at storedj for $100 so be using that and covering the rest with cash

[Buck_Choi]

XD's i have a pair they are great ^.^

[Gandy]

any feed back on the sennheisers? going to be buying these tomoz, lookin like the XD's are coming up trumps

[Buck_Choi]

another note. the XD's look cooler then the other 2 you posted up =D

[CBG]

2000s are overkill, designed for elite DJs that play several gigs a week at high volumes.

XD53s have awesome bass, great for beatmatching, great isolation (allthough not that much of an issue imo), good clarity at high volumes (thats what you have to worry about), they are bulky but tough as fuck and they sit over the ear really nicely.

I have done heaps of gigs with them, cranked the entire time and they are stll 100%. Another DJ used them for a couple of hrs one night and he had them at full volume.. fucked if i know how he did that, but they didnt break lol

[tubby]

at that level they are all pretty good, really comes down to the one that fits your head/ears, and which you prefer the sound of.

[Gandy]

awesome thanks heaps, XD's it is

[Buck_Choi]

wooho! join the group !

[Jaz]

found this, not a bad video if your trying to compare

[Gandy]

nice find man cheers, +rep

[CBG]

Yeah, XD's is my honest opinion, I've tried pretty much all of them.

Technics RPDJ1200s for listening to tunes on the go though

[ill_spector]

on a perth dance music forums thingy,

there are a pair of technics going for $90

and hdj2000's going for $200

pretty tempting.....

[LabRat]

dj factory here in perth had the pioneer hdj1000's for $100 at one stage. almost bought a pair just for the fact they wer cheap as hell lol

and heats, whats this perth dance music forums thingy you speak of? pm me

[LabRat]

oh ps: go the techincs 1210's. i have 2 of em and they're kick ass!
