Mitch Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Most people on here either have Sennheiser HD 25's OR A&H XD 53's.I've only ever used HD 25's for DJing so can't recommend any others to you man, maybe someone else on here has used some of the one's you have mentioned.

Lurk6r Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I got tdk headphones from jb for $25. Good sound isolation and decent bass. Been using them for 2 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imadje Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Mate i dont think it matters.Like cupe i have rubbish headphones. I prefer to do most mixing on the fly through the speakers anyway. Especially at house parties where it is so important to hear what the house is hearing. Good luck with your scene man. Its great to know the vibe continues and always shall, enshallah.

Gandy Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 i tend to disagree with the previous posts here on this one, i started out on cheap cans and as soon as i got my XD-53s the difference was night and day and helped immensly. I know you said they are too expensive, but for me personally headphones are close to the most important part of gear you can have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I agree with gandy, I started with 20 buck TDK headphones that had been lying around the house for ages. I used those for the first week, and went straight out and bought HD25's. Made such a difference in what you can hear.How I looked at it was even if you don't get right into DJing, I still enjoy listening to music through a quality pair of cans.

mattus123 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 im more inclined to agree with Gandy, there is a noticeable differnet between good and bad headphonesbut cupe and imadje have been DJing much longer than i haveif your only doing house parties, i would make sure there is good sound - isolationif your really set on keeping the budget low... maybe you could try using ear-buds and put ear muffs over the top for better sound isolation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolDios Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 1 pair of $200 cans will last 3x as long as 2 pairs of $100 headphones.But dude, keep an eye out on gumtree for second hand HD25-sp1'sCan pick em up for $50, and just buy a new pair of ear pads for $10Then you have some quality can's for cheap.

Mitch Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 but check any online marketplace where they sell used goods in your country if you feel inclined to purchase second hand equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russell Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I prefer to do most mixing on the fly through the speakers anyway. Especially at house parties where it is so important to hear what the house is hearing. Is this not why you train your ear to listen to two things at once? one ear listening to the cue'd track and the other listening to the PA.

Robsta Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I never listen to the front of house personally just the booth monitor and my headphones on my left earJust buy a pair of cheap sound canceling headphones that you hear the beat clearly with Upgrade later down the track if you really enjoy it and want something better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imadje Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 thanks bro. enshallah is arabic not persian My apologies. My dad worked in construction in Tehran until I was 4 years old (1977). He habitually used the phrase "enshallah" as we were growing up so I wrongly assumed it was Persian. I stand corrected I prefer to do most mixing on the fly through the speakers anyway. Especially at house parties where it is so important to hear what the house is hearing. Is this not why you train your ear to listen to two things at once? one ear listening to the cue'd track and the other listening to the PA.While beatmatching yes but as soon as a tune is beatmatched/otherwise prepped I take the phones off. This way I can concentrate much better on the eqing for the specific room while I'm mixing without any distraction from the 'phones. Obv on big club or festy/stage systems I trust the engineer to do front of house so am happy to do all in-ear mixing but in a house party/small bar scenario I like to immerse myself as much as possible in what the audience is hearing.I still listen to two things at once; two tunes though, not two audio sources.
