can someone tell me if if the Sennheiser HD 25 are an over the ear design cus the cups seem kinda small?..im debating whether to get the Sennheisers or the Ultrasone Dj1 Pro’s, but if the Sennheiser HD 25 are an over ear design that clamp down on my lobes i think im gonna find that quite annoying…
no they are not overear but i had the same thinking about those hd 25’s but i borowed them ones from a freind and they work pretty well with keeping the outside sound away.
still i got the dj pro’s because they did it better 
I had a pair of these too - I do not recomend them, they brake way too easy. I think they are actually made by sony for stanton, with a few extra gimmics on them, as they look identical
this is what finished mine off:
note the other cup is covered in duck tape to hold it together as all the plastic parts have fracture cracks.
best advice, go to a store which has some on display and try them out, thats what I plan on doing next week.
I have the Technics, the HD-25s and Ultrasone’s DJ-1.
I really love the HD-25s, but after a hearing concern.. I switched to the Ultrasone’s.
Love them since…
“hearing concern”- how about this combination:
- of course HD 25 they have absolute isolation with velour earpads
- http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/alnasoearpl.html with gold filter on
i like my audio-technica ath-m40’s
Technics RP-DH1200
… Don’t get any Sony Headphones. They break quickly.
Sennheiser HD-25 II
dj pro 3000 are great. i love them. 5 stars
I havent seen this post. I couldnt find on internet this picture to compare it before buying, so here it is:
Yes technics has only one earphone.
Size doesnt matter! Well,hmmm... :smiley: When I first got it I thought its a toy but I was sooooooooooo WRONG.
Last night my friend have a gig using RP-DH1200 and he wasnt happy because isolation is bad. HD-25 hasnt that problem.
No one for in ear monitors?
I’ve heard mixed for in ear monitors. If you’re in an enclosed room they can be amazing, but if it’s outside on stage it can be touch and go.
that and in ear headphones NEVER stay in my ear
Even the molded ones bro’?
i have the same problem. my left ear is a different size inside then the right. so its REALLY hard to find plugs that fit properly. but the molded ones should fint fine, i just cant afford them.
Thanks for the post Mekon, the cans on the HD25’s do look really small and i have a feeling that mite feel really uncomfy clamping on my ear lobes. I guess Ultrasone Dj1 Pro with some ear plugs is the way to go for me…Theres a post by Ean some where about in ear monitors that you guys can read up on…
Any opinions on the Allen & Heath XD 53?
For those of you that have the Ultrasone DJ1 Pro’s, does there seem to be an issue an issue with the connector not holding the cable correctly? Cus i found a review on amazon saying
“These headphones (and the various accessories and hard case) are nearly perfect. But there is that awful connector between the cable and the headphones themselves, which never holds perfectly (or screws appropriately). If that were fixed this would be a totally perfect product.”
I really want these headphones but i wouldnt like it to have a faulty connector if im having to pay $240 or so for it, any sites you guys can recommend where i can find it for cheaper?
I have a pair of the Technics RPDJ-1200’s (black and purple)
I like the fit and the sound is amazing. Excellent spectrum for in the club. They will blow off your head before they distort. Nice for one ear monitoring and look the part. The isolation is great too. The only other ones I would consider are the Senheiser HD-25’s.
Pretty comfortable and only start to get ear fatigue after a few hours. I wasn’t sure bout going for the supra-aural (cans sit on ears, not around) headphones first off but I wouldn’t trade them for anything now.
since the post has been bumped, i now recommend using your old telephone! its pretty easily done…
Hey guys, I was wondering if bose headphones would be any good? My current headphones broke and was considering buying something that will last a bit longer. When I was shopping for headphones my girlfriend suggested to use Bose so I’m curious to know what’s your take on it.
