    No idea

    But I use to have sennhesier HD 25's and personally I found them hard to hear when mixing in a club environment

    Now I've got a pair of Audio Technica ATH-PRO700's which I've had for
    four or so years without any problems and are loud as...

    Same here. I like headphones where I can hear everything and it's balanced, unlike headphones like Beats that are heavy on the bass and that causes them to muddle everything else. I use HDJ-2000s and they're fantastic.

    I like copious amounts of bass in my headphones. I'll probably get made fun of for this, but I use V-MODA Crossfade LP's.

    Haha at least you've accepted it. But headphones are all about personal preference, like every other bit of gear you can buy

    One can use any headphones they want to as long as you understand how what you hear in your headphones translates to the dance floor. It's just a much easier process with headphones that give you a flat/transparent response.

    i use hd25s I like them, they have good isolation. I look for isolation, sound quality, and durability.

    HDJ 2ks ain't precisely balanced. Sure they are better than a pair of Beats but still.

    for me they must be:

    lightweight because i regularly play for 4 hours + at a time
    good at isolation
    excellent for accurate sound

    so basically the sennheiser hd25's.....
