Audio Technica ATH-PRO500MK2

Hi folks,

Well my trusty old HD-205’s have finally died after 3 years of abusive treatment (POTS - Psytrance Over Thrashing Syndrome)
…So i am looking into picking up a pair of these this week. Does anyone use or have tried these? Good reviews all round but am looking for some opinions from djtt ninjas before shelling out the skrilla.
Cheers, J

I thought you were AWOL :open_mouth:
lol.

I’ve never heard of a pro version, doesn’t seem to be available in the US.

Just fed you my opinions on fb. :wink:

Though my HDJ2000s still serve me well and I won’t have to bother to look for replacements, I am curious about the Beyer Dynamic DT1350. :slight_smile:

are they gold plated and come with a complimentary escort? they should for that price :stuck_out_tongue:

Am also considering the A&H XD-40’s at the same price point.

I really think these would be awesome as well! :slight_smile:

I’ve had a set for seven years now still going strong.

Loudest set of cans I have owned, they make your ears bleed, awesome for djing in loud clubs

Not the most comfiest cans, a bit on the heavyside but as I said loud as f**k
If your wanting to use the cans for production, I would go for something else.

I got the camo edition, which is sold out… I think

Oh I have the pro 700’s not the 500’s

I’m sure the 500’s will be jus as good tho

cheers for the input will. from what i read the differences between the 500 & 700 models are minimal.

sweet! i have a day to decide

What price can you get the Audio Technica’s for?

$200 NZD .. around 130 euros, same as the Xones.

What’s made you choose these over say the HD25s? I’m sure the Sennys are AU$168 which is NZ$200… I think?

All of the reviews online for the Audio Technica’s are pretty good. I’ve not used them myself but what gear I have used of theirs has been faultless, so I would expect these to be the same.

the cheapest we can get hd-25’s for here is around $400nzd. all our mates use 'em and we also have the hd-215’s. don’t wanna go much over 200 budget really :slight_smile:

Ouch!!

pulled the trigger and ordered these bad-boys . $220 NZD delivered.
the larger 53mm drivers, detachable coiled cable and sound isolation swung it this way.

will let yall know what i think after thrashing them :slight_smile:

Would be interested to hear about the build quality. They look like they could survive a nuclear blast! Look nice in red as well!

had both the black & red on my auction watchlist, the black expired before my pay cleared so i had no choice :slight_smile:

sitting at my bedroom door when i got home … my first impressions … wow, just wow

video uploading :wink:
