WTB - DJ headphone

[~god~]

MOTHERFUCKING HEADPHONES!!!

uumm.. this is the second headphone im going through. why oh why did i buy the same shit again?

The left side is apparently fuckin weak. It broke at 2 different spots; the first one at the side.. and then at the part where the shit holds the other shit.
fuckin hell.

[~god~]

list what you have..

[FeelGood]

the exact same ones you got with a 3yr warranty from futureshop :)

[Akeel]

sony 700's have a design flaw - they always break in that same spot.

Its not covered under warranty either - they call it "regular wear and tear"

[Veni*C]

thank god i didnt get the sonys.

[Custard]

boycott sony! all the brand name, none of the goodness

[tvmann]

Sennheiser HD280's crack too.

Picture of mine from early summer after 5 months of light useage. Crack is much worse now, most of the plastic from the bottom inch of the band has broken off. 2 year warranty helps but not much

^won't work.. cuz its right at the point where the piece is supposed to rotate. and its really small. i tried.. won't work.

The Pioneer HDJ-1000s have issues too.


I hear the Technics head phones are good.

Sean bring your 700s over on thursday. I wanna look at them.

[normal josh]

yeah i had the pioneer's for 3 weeks before some one stole them outta my record bag, but it was just as well i guess... ask kaos what his look like... he can vouch for how crappy they get... but i have heard that the dj-5000's are good tho
technics are good,
sony 600, 900 and mdr 7506 and 7509's too
usually the seinhiser hd 280's are good, but im suprised to see otherwise, hd 25's are good but very expensive

give it time... it's weardown points are at the same spot as the 700s

What pisses me off it I like the look of the 700s so much. I wanna keep mine alive as long as possible.

yup, design flaw in the sennheisers

i went through 3 pairs of senns which all cracked in that same spot. then i got the hdj-1000's. i honestly dont think there is a pair of headphones out there right now that wont break after a year, so buy them from somewhere that gives a good warranty. im lucky my senns had a 3yr warranty otherwise it would've gotten pretty pricey after going through 3 of them.

[decypher]

yeh i had the senn's as well, same cracking cuz they kept falling off a table... but some neatly placed duck tape helped out and now i have no complaints... still great sounding headphones with excellant sound isolation.. i wanna give the pioneer's a whirl one day though... im not a big fan of the 700's no matter how well they "look"

[Ree Fresh]

I use to have the popular technics ones. Loved them mostly cus they were small enough and good quality... However when wearing them on the shoulder the round rubber part started to come off when rubbing against the plastic
(if that makes sence?) After about 2 years I noticed the sound going funny... but I think that was more from the plug.

I recently got the pioneer HDJ-1000's. They fit and have great sound!
I dont like the way you have to bend them up when putting them away, they also stretch funny and I think there gonna break :/

I would agree that alot of it has to do with how you take care of them. I think wearing them on your side causes more problems as I see dj's in panic riping them on off their head/ear and putting presure on the head phones in ways they probly shouldnt.
