WTB - DJ headphone

[NinjaBoy]

I have a pair of the technics ones, been using them for 5 years now. Not a single problem. Just a little wear around the ear muff thing. And I've put these things through hell. Highly recomended.

i like the swivel concept of the technics ones but i dont like how the cups are so small. in a really loud environment you're gonna have to turn up the headphone level so high because there's almost no isolation

I've been using my technic's for over a year and have had no problems.

Generally affordable, loud as fuck and sturdy. Not the greatest sound quality, but definitely not the worst either. The half-cups take a bit of getting used to but they work pretty well.

I'm curious to see what the technics DH1200s are like, but from the design they probably have the same issues as Sony's

Ok handsdown the best Dj headphones on the market right now are made by "Misitry of Sound" but good luck in finding a pair around town they seem to be very elusive. I've had mine for 5 years and they not only still sound great they have little or no wear and tear on them at all. Now the technics are really good primarily because they are reinforced and deisgned to take abuse in the one spot where most headphones fail which is the joining area between the phone and the head support. Technics, HDJ's and a few other brands @ www.masterplan.ca

yeah, they probably will break at the same point, as most (all) headphones that flip out to the side will have that week point, and the weeker side, like every one said about the sony's, being the left side i think has something to do with the cord cause as your jumping up and down that cord keeps whipping and pulling on that side the most and eventually the plastic will fatigue.

sony sais that they have recently redesigned the joint there due to mass complaint about breaking, but by the sounds of it, they will only last an extra month.

You'd be suprised I find that they cut out outside noise better than the sony ones. This is because it applies actual preassure against your head. It's hard to explain.

As for Kid Icaras, I've been using them since they came out, when you actually hold them, you'll see that they won't suffer from that problem.

Chris, next time we're on the same line up. I wanna try out your headphones :)

Those are the next head phones doom is going to buy.

As for his current headphones, they would be Pro-Luxe Pro-40's. They cost doom $14 and are far better than the goddamn Sennheiser ones he paid $200 for.
Hmmmm.... apparently the proluxe headphones doom uses can be purchased for about $5 at various online stores. Doom is now going to buy pile of backups.

the rp-DJ 1200's i own and love, i like the fack that they have small cups, i find that they cut through noise like a hot knife through butter, i just dont know about the new rp-DH 1200's... those ones scare me about breakage

i have the curly cord ones, with the nice selver colour and all that shiz, i think they are the 1200-A's, anyways, i just put a string through the curly cord and tied it so that it dosent streach out and get all tangled and crap like that, cause thats anoying

[~god~]
