Need helping choosing new headphones...

[DJ G-REG]

Looks like I will need to hit up Guitar Center to try on and compare the Senns HD 380 and Pionner HDJ-1500. The Senns HD 380 have an extra long oval cup so I would be curious to know how they feel.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

I didn't find them to be too heavy, but make no mistake, with the Techs you're getting a big set of headphones. That didn't bother me, but its something to consider depending on your personal tastes. If I were to describe the Technics in three words, they would be tough, comfortable and loud. Louie V is right though, as far as sound quality goes, The Pioneers, Senns, and AIAIAI's are in a class above what you're getting with the Techs.

Thank you for the feedback. I guess the Techs are out of the running.

Sony MDRv700s on Amazon. I heard that sometimes the hinges break, but I've had mine for quite some time and have had no problems.

Another model to consider are the Audio Technica ath-m50s. They're less expensive and have been very well reviewed.

+1. these are the headphones that i use and they are great for the value. i decided on them since they were ~$175 at guitar center at the time but i found a shady online deal for $75 and they matched it! since they usually have them at gc i would go down and have a listen. also print this and bring it in and they may match it (it should save you about $50). i wish i could still find the $75 price but it's not up any more.

actually i found another for $89...BAM! http://www.byuy.net/mobile-batteries/208/

the only downsides are they get a little uncomfortable after extended listening...which for me is around 3-4 hours, but honestly i have never had headphones that didn't do that to me. the second thing is they are a little uncomfortable around my neck when i dj if i keep them on their sides. if i turn the pads in towards my body, it feels fine. it could just be because i'm really skinny and they rest up near my bones.

Another thing to remember with the Audio Technica's is that they are the company that actually makes the Allen & Heath Xone 53s

V moda Crossfades, theyre over ears, come with a GOOD warranty, and if you break them when the warranty is up you send em back to V-moda and they give you a new pair for half price.
