those are some of the models im looking at and I knoe blah blah sonys break…when they dont…
I had a pair of sonys and I bent those like a pretzel without them cracking. the problem was the left driver stopped getting enough power and lost a bit of bass.

any suggestions on which one to grab?

You could buy my $200 Ultrasone’s for $100 :wink:

If you have a larger head I would not get the Shure 750’s. I have them now and they are small! like, I have them set to the largest setting and they juuuust fit. they do sound nice, just a little small.

small head here. My monitors are at 3 out of 11:stuck_out_tongue:

hmmmmmm
wouldnt be till late next month

well then Shure seems the best for you! they are known for their quality products. and the headphones are very sturdy. Seeing that the sony ones are know for breaking, dennon is not the greatest, and im unsure about Audio technica.

oor Photojojo’s headphones sound like a good deal :slight_smile:

Thinking about the shures since if the cable goes on them I can use the cable from my monitors

If you want them PM me when you’re ready to buy. They’re great sounding headphones.

what about Senn HD-25’s??

I’ve been thinking about picking up a pair of Pio HDJ-500’s recently. White ones look cool for summer parties :slight_smile:

If you want a quality pair of headphones, also check out the Allen & Heath Xone XD-53 heaphones. You can find them for about out 179.

How about spending a bit more and get the aiaiai’s? http://store.djtechtools.com/products/tma-1-headphones
or even bit more and get hd-25. What i have heard is that it’s better to buy top end headphones as others will break and stuff and you end up spending more on few low/mid headphones than buying one expensive.

I hate smaller headphones due to how my ears are, small headphones at sit on my ears no matter how soft they are ALWAYS hurt even more with glasses.:roll_eyes:

Either of these are really good.

I did a lot of research on headphones before I bought mine and for the price, everything led to these. They are the sturdiest and the best sounding. Many are made with cheap plastic that break easily, but the plastic on these are good. The headphones with with metal are too expensive.
