good but cheap headphones

[ppcock]

So my headphones just decided to die on me (thank you piece of shit numarks)

I dont have a lot of money until june when all my bookings are done.

What are some decent but fairly cheap headphones?

I will use them a lot cause i take my cd player everywhere.

so keep that in mind when you're firing off suggestions..

Thanks!

I COULDNT IMAGINE USING ANYTHING ELSE

[ppcock]

what are they?

i know they're sony's but what make?

[mapleleaf4ever]

I think those are one model above my V300's... prolly 600's?

[C_squared]

Sony MDRNC6 aprox: $80- $90

OR...


Sony MDR7502 aprox $50-$60

altho I would suggest watching the headphone volume on your mixer for eitehr of these models. However they have really nice bass recognition for things like portable audio.

i recommend the technics rpdj-1200's

theyre like 150-180 though at tom lee

but greaaaattt... really comfortable fit and sound awesome. they pump more bass than you need and go really loud if you need them loud.

[-ff-]

ahh sony, one more 4 letter word that starts with 'S'

[ppcock]

probably do the techs ones

But first im going to scream at tom lee if they cant give me some sort of discount on the techs cause i think im still under warranty with them.

Marty, check this site out:

It has a lot of headphones from different price ranges along with pics and info for each.

Personally, I use the Sony MDR-v700 for DJing and Sony MDR-v500 for computer and listening purposes. The 700's cost about $200+ and the 500's cost about $100. They are both worth the buck.

corrrect

I have Sennheiser HD 280 and they're good EXCEPT the headband ends crack and break. Gonna get them fixed before the 2 year warranty ends and if the parts are the same flimsy design I'll just duct-tape them up for strength and use for a while longer.

They have a new model HD 215 that they claim is designed for DJ use but no reports yet.

There's some guys on tranceaddict that highly recommend Sony 7506 or V6 (not V600!). Say they are similar to Senn HD 25 but only about $100 USA.

I've got the Stanton DJ Pro3000 headphones.



I think they cost about $130

I love em. Pretty solid. Sounds is good even playing at clubs and raves and what not.
