I've been scouring the web for info on these too, this is the best I've found

Thanks for these links -- after reading these reviews I'm a bit underwhelmed. The design is beautiful but from reading the reviews, the sound quality is not what it's been pumped up to be. For $200 I'll stick with my A+Hs, I think....

I'm interested in seeing a comparison between these and the HD25-II's. I'm in line for a new set of cans for Christmas, so it's something I'm going to be watching closely.

Here is another thread I've found on the topic.

they look awesome but multiple sources say that the rubber band is coming off rather quickly, still unsure wheter to get the TMA-1 or HD25's as my first real Dj headphones :/

Yeah the headband issue seems pretty common, but also nothing that a bit of loctite wont fix for good.

Which reviews were actually bad? Most reviews I have read had very good things to say about the sound, mostly in comparrison with the 25 as well ie on par or better, or not quite as good.

TBH absolute sound quality is not something I care about in this purchase, I have seperate headphones for listening to music allready, all i care about is good isolation. Ive been using technics for years and have never found their level of sound quality an issue.

Well I happen to know where you can get a pair of the very roomy Ortofon O-ones cheap http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17831

thanks, but I bought shure srh750s today. they're bulky, but the isolation and sound quality are both excellent (and I mean excellent - my basis for comparison is a beyerdynamic dt-990 pro). detachable cord, leather pouch and spare leather earpads included. good value IMO, I'll be giving them a trial run next saturday.

oh yeah, I also went to a tma-1 reseller listed on their site, but they didn't even have a pair for me to try out. how lame.
