Id pretty much either buy 10 $ head phones, or save 100 and get something decent. Anything cheap is crap, but even if you give up DJing you will have some decent headphones for a fair few years if ya get the Technics.

I've had the RP-DH1200's since Oct. '04. They have been well used and well loved.
Yesterday, the hinge coupling crack that I've noticed for the last month or so finally split. After a liberal application of electrical tape, I feel I can get maybe another month out of this set.
I might get another pair... but I am also considering switching to Sennheiser HD25-1 II's.
Does anyone have recommendations about switching?
Sony MDRV 700 DJ Headphones. Cant believe no love for sony headphones from most here. Yes the Technics are nice as well, but i love my sonys.
Ive got my nice Sennheisers for decent gigs and some cheapo Sony ones for the weekly gigs. I end up standing on them a lot so i dont use the good uns to often.
I also find the Sony ones clamp on me head round the back where as the Senns and other heavier headphones just fall off. I dont like putting them over my head, it spoils my hair hahaha
Senn's HD25SP and dirt cheap Sony MDRV150.
The Sonys come from a huge chain of shops called Argos and they give you free damage insurance. They last a few months then i take them back and get a new pair. Ive literally had about 20 pairs of them and only paid twice. Cost about £12, sound crap but they are really loud.
The Senns are pretty much the standard in UK . Big Sony MDR700s are just to big and heavy for me. I feel like im wearing a helmet in them.
electrical tape doesn't have the give I like.
But i can't count how many times I've fixed my headphones with gaff tape. =^P
Monika.mhz - I do things. Also stuff.

Hahaha Yeah We live parallel lives (with the headphones).
My current pair here in a photo just taken on my iPhone.
stuck together on both sides with gaffa.
Theyre crap but they will last tonite out.
haha dude, I used to use those Sony's all the damn time. I think in three years I went through 9 pairs. $20 a piece, they were loud.
Though, I didn't know the awesome-ness of DJ headphones til I got my Sennheiser HD-25's
My Stanton DJ-3000's had to be rigged with zip ties and gorilla glue until it couldn't work anymore
Ha we are so frickin ghetto.
I just trash em so often , i forget they are round my neck and i pull the cables out or i try pull them off quickly and snap them or just plain stand on them cus i dont realise theyve fallen on the floor because im so drunk.
I love that you use the same shitty headphones as me. Funny.
