Decent cans for DJing and producing?

[MalcolmDeXXX]

I'm currently looking for a decent set of cans for DJing and producing, any out there?

Depends on your price range. Senny HD25's are a popular choice.
The Sony DJ range are very good for their price.
I use Denon HP-700 (had 1000's, but they do not take much abuse) however I can't fault the 700's.

I woulda have thought you would have separate headphones for DJing, and for studio use..

I was going to get the Sennheisers for DJing anyway, with some Beyerdynamics for Studio cans. However, I found some great studio monitors (reviewed on here) for a low low price, and am going to plump for those instead.

Think I'll get the Sennys then invest in studio cans in couple of months.

For DJ use (e.g. in loud environments) closed ear cups tend to offer better isolation and lower monitoring levels.

For production use (e.g. in relatively quiet environments) open ear cups tend to offer a better sense of the overall sound field and stereo separation. While not ideal, open cups are a good middle ground between headphones and monitors.

ill point out that open cups do bleed a lot of noise, which defeats the purpose of using headphones in the first place. usually because a housemate or other nearby person cant be disturbed by your music production, which is why your not using your monitors.

its a cruel reality.

I use HDJ1500s for DJing. I will also use them to reference in Ableton occasionally. Not the best for that, but it gets the job done. Key word for production use was "referencing".. Not "monitoring"... So trying to strictly produce with them will be kinda hard.

Overall, I think they're great.

For $80 you cant afford not to have a pair lying around. Almost indestructible and sound ridiculously good for both production and Live use

I have a pair of HD25 Amperiors coming tomorrow mind you and kinda looking forward to comparing them.

NOt sure if you're being serious or not? I read a couple of reviews on other respected forums and they seem to have a bad rep.
