Headphones Sticky - just an idea?

[deevey]

Seeing as its one of the most Frequently asked questions perhaps named DJ/Production headphones.

NOT a whats better than xyz, BUT more an informative piece about what NOT to buy (e.g. Dre beats/JVC/skullcandy etc) and what matters in a headphone e.g durability, frequency response, Sensitivity, comfort, flatness vs color.

Of course suggestions could be made over time via the thread.

I know I know you can search the for previous threads (if you are logged in), not everyone is a member who visits this forum and no doubt some people who post looking for answers, sign up just to get an answer to that one question of which there a multiple threads comparing xyz.

Just a crazy thought after I saw (yet another) headphone thread with Beats Being mentioned (and soon shot down).

*edit*

With a poll perhaps with the most popular "industry standard" brands so newbies at a glance can see what is the most popular brands/models overall.

Great idea. It could almost be like every single post is a review of a pair of headphones, with personal experiences shared.

Even worse... I'm seeing these starting to get mentioned

I think this is a great idea and when it gets green-lit, I'd like to write a view reviews

Honestly I DONT think it should be a reviews thread, they tend to get messy, run into multiple pages and "another" rambling this-is-better-than-that and generally a pain the rear end trying to decipher anything from.

IMHO I think it should be about.

What to look for
Whats in use generally by DJTT DJs (poll)
What to stay clear of if you are smart e.g. Beats, skull candy etc.
Designer Headphones vs professional
Solid Information on sound coloration and why/when it will matter.

For example In all honestly IMHO it makes FA difference to most DJ's in a club with a few thousand watts how perfect or how flat the sound reproduction is if you can't hear them (DT100's), or if the phones sound amazing but won't last more than three gigs before the hinges break.

I'm sure plenty of Jocks on here like myself in their youth spent money on multiple sets of crappy cheapy headphones insisting that they were as good as XYZ before finally biting the bullet, listening to their peers and caving in to buy some quality cans - at least with a simple "why" and "how many are using" sticky that newbies can be pointed to a thread (albeit a locked one perhaps) with non-specific solid "professional" information on whats the "norm" in the DJ world.
