Best headphone?

[drewjonn]

You're missing one: Pioneer HDJ-C70.

that looks good. how does it compare to the HDJ-2000? well as i said i am very opened to other suggestions mate

It doesn't really compare to the HDJ 2000, it compares to the HD25 you've also got listed. Check out the review Chris did on this site on the DH25 and its look alikes. There's a lot of user feedback from him in that blog entry.

I heard some headphones are designed for DJing purposes while some are purposed for music producing. Is that true? Btw I have never realized the differences between over ear and on ear. Does it make a lot of differences on performance or just preferences?

I was looking at the more cheaper ones, closed back (since I use headphones purely for dj purposes) DT-770 Pro,

The more expensie DT-1350 looks sweet

The DT-770 Pro are studio headphones, so not absolutely the best ones for djs who usually want a good bass. Sure, it's very much about own preference but most DJ headphones are about a good and present bass. Furthermore the reference for DJ headphones, Sennheiser HD-25), do only have 70 Ohms, the beyerdynamic ones have 250 ohms! That means they'll be not so loud than the HD-25 while staying on the same volume level what could be bad for some controllers which have a lower volume output.

(Unfortunately) I don't own the Sennheiser HD-25 but I'd buy them instantly if I'd have the money for them. (Just because they are a standard like CDJs and DJMs.)

Yea I heard that it's one of the best, but I think the new Pioneer HDJ-C70 makes a good comparison to HD-25 with a slightly better price

There are differences... I don't remember them immediately but I think to remember it was something about the swappable cable... (HD-25 cable is easier to get)

EDIT: Here's the DJTT article: http://djtechtools.com/2014/10/14/se...dj-headphones/

Yes, there's a difference. I really recommend that you do some research on what makes a great headphone instead of simply trusting what people say on internet forums. Don't take my word that the C70 is good, find out why.

This. Great advice man. Where should I find the best reviews and specs?

Senns HD-25 II

these are the kings of the dj headphone world with good reason. they are loud, light, and you can replace every component in the field.

not to mention they sound good.

You're kind of missing my point. Don't just find out what the specs are (you can find those usually on the manufacturers website), find out what they mean. Then look for things like build quality, durability and sound insulation. And yes, that takes actual reviews. The internet is full of reviews, but for me a rule of thumb is to look for the negative ones. Because they actually explain shortcomings of the headphones. Wether or not you think those shortcomings are an issue is entirely up to you.
