**Headphones?**

Tryin to get a hold of a pair of decent DJ headphones, but I dunno where to start. I don’t need anything tooooooo nice, but I would like a middle level pair of headphones at least.. cost matters yea… but id rather spend a few more bucks now than buy some crappy ones and have to buy new ones in a few months… any suggestions?

For £60 id say buy them, they went 6/7 months getting crammed into a tiny DJ bag with no damage, just tape them up a wee bit once the cracks show, other than that, brilliant headphones.

My HDJ-500s have had a fair amount of abuse and they’re doing fine. The Pioneer logos have all rubbed off but no damage other than that. And they’ve been crammed into a bag full of cables and stuff many times.
