I have a pair of these that I use with my MP3 player and the sound quality is great for the price (I think I paid somewhere around £40) but yeah, the cable is a bit thin and flimsy, I wouldn’t trust it to last after a few energetic DJ sets, catch the cable a few times and I’m sure it will start getting a bit flaky.
I only use sony mdr 7506 headphones the most comfortable headphone I have ever owned. and under $100.00
Thanks for the replies. Saw that thread on djforums about the fakes.
Ended up being a girl who got them as a gift from her sis and she doesn’t like bulky headphones. Needs the cash so score for me.
i think i’m going with one of those sony’s. they seems to have GREAT reviews about sound quality, durability, and enough isolation. and most of all, theyre comfortable.
+1 Sony MDR-7506 or MDR-V6 (Essentially same Headphone) best sounding and bang for buck headphones under $150 IMHO.
V6 costs less and is identical apart from the differing warranty and Gold plug.
Check the 450+ ratings on Amazon Vs the HDJ-1000’s or even hd-25’s, they are one of industry standards in headphones for almost 30 years for a reason.
You’ll NEVER regret you bought them regardless if you want to change things up a bit, I’ve tried (and failed) to better them without breaking the piggy bank. I cant see it happening any time soon.

From Amazon - and a VERY true statement no doubt
Bottom line: Don’t hesitate. You absolutely cannot go wrong with the MDR7506. This is the headphone of choice, the industry standard. The only reason they’re so cheap is MARKET VOLUME–Sony sells a lot of these to audio and video pros!!
The new Numark Red Waves are a decent buy for around that price.
I use these:

I used to use some even cheaper ones but since they broke I bought something better. For that price they are absolutely perfect! Very comfortable, sound is very clear. I am really satisfied by their performance.
Oh yeah, their frequency response ranges from 5hz to 25khz
i really love my ath-m50’s. weird that no one has said anything about them. check em out they are amazing and really comfy
I was just gonna say. For the price you can find them, they’re amazingly comfortable, and have accurate sound replication. They’re very balanced, so if you’re looking for headphones that blast bass, it’s not these. But if you want to hear something the way it was intended to be heard, they’re perfect! Plus super durable, I’ve been going strong for a year, and all i have is a little crack in the pad
