Civilian use headphones

[MelodyIlliterate]

bought some XD's a while ago and as you guys might know, the quarter inch jack screws off and reveals a 3.5 mm jack...

point is... would you use your dj headphones in public... say public transport and all that..

busted my last pair of decent earphones so its either spend andother $70 to get something with decent sound quality, or just use my Xones...

any thoughts?

I use $40 phillips in ear buds for my daily commute, but if I'm heading back to my parents on the train (2.5 hours) I wear my HD-25II's.

[russell]

I use my HD 25's on the plane or train.

[MelodyIlliterate]

[andyman]

If you are worried about them breaking just get a case.

I have this one which fits nicely in my gig bag.

i agree with hoddi, the isolation in public is annoying i find. its good to have a bit of isolation just so people can't hear your music, but i find it better to be able to hear the outside world too.

These provide a bit of isolation but nothing compared to dj headphones. They'd be a good companion for travels

[anditz]

or these for a little more

Cheers guys, I've noticed the Xones isolation isn't over the top any way so i dont think that would be a problem..

.

if they broke however, i would be fucking devastated,

i think your on the right track hobberz

If im walking around in public I just wear my earphones, however if im on the train/plane/bus I wear my hd 25's.

[MelodyIlliterate]

so you'd carry earphones and headphones around?

[SolDios]

I pick em before I leave the house, and leave the other ones at home.

[hoddi]

I take both to school actually, I wear earphones if I'm talking to someone on train or something similar to that, if I'm in class or in a free period and I'm studying, the hd's are great to focus by blocking out all other noise so I don't get distracted and actually get work done

[LabRat]

I use my shures when strutting down the streets. Pretty badass sound

[russell]

these are good.... sound amazing although they cancel quite a lot out so nee to be on your toes when manoeuvring through the street.

I used to have bose in ear headphones til they broke, but they were pretty good.

Think you can buy them with a button to answer phone calls etc. now as well.

But I don't own earphones anymore, just use my hd's for the rare occasion i go out in public
