**Good Dj headphones under $100?** I’ve seen the product review articles and stuff. But I’m wondering what the best set of cans for under $100. I remembered Ean recommending some of the Sony Studio monitor headphones but I can’t find where it was or which model? Was thinking the Sony MDR -500 or 700’s? I know it makes more sense to spend the jack and just get some top quality, but I don’t have the jack, I have Jenna, she’s 4 months old and has a lot of my loot tied up in her well-being a long with her mom. 🙂 ---

I think it was these, but I’m not sure. [ame][http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Closed-Circum-2dAural-Headphones-HD280/dp/B000065BPB[/ame]](http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Closed-Circum-2dAural-Headphones-HD280/dp/B000065BPB%5B/ame%5D) ---

They are way more comfortable than the MDR V700 DJ but not as loud. I have had my 280’s for about 3 years and they still look and sound like they did the day I bought them. ---

I was wrong! It’s the Sony MDR-7506, from this article. > **[The DJ Headphone Round-Up](https://djtechtools.com/2009/12/16/the-dj-headphone-uber-review/)** > > DJ headphones: It doesn’t matter if you are mashing VCI buttons, flippin’ CDs or spinning vinyl -- we all need It’s in the comments.

I use these and they take a beating, are small enough that don’t take up too much space and sound great. ---

I use Sennheiser HD 205 headphones. I bought them cos I got a deal through Amazon and picked them up for £14.99 (about $25-30) in the UK. Only issue is they’re a bit tight if wearing them for long, but i left them to stretch over a couple of books for a weekend and they’re perfect now. Great bass, sound clarity, good external sound elimination and I’m constantly dropping them accidentally and not even a mark on them. They usually retail in UK for about £35-55 (about $60-110), and I’d recommend them as good cheap headphones, just remember to stretch them for a bit! ---

I have senne 280 pros and have been using them for over 3 years now. They’ve been used in a commercial studio and have taken a real beating but still work great! ---

I have these too and they are really good quality, sound is very clear but I used them out the other night and they don’t have much isolation at all, I’m thinking of trying Villinus’s headphone mod with the drivers 😃 I do agree that they aren’t most comfortable but I try stretching them as said above. ---
