I heard the Sony 700s are prone to breaking where the cups swing, or something like that. I've had a pair since 2003/2004 and they still work great. But, if I were to buy a new pair today, I'd probably go with those Technics headphones, RP-DH1200s or something like that (every other product in the DJ world uses "1200" in the model number somewhere). They look pretty sweet and I'm sure they hold up. The previous Technics model was really solid too.

once again...

sennheiser hd25s or stfu plzkthx

lmao

i still standby the shure e2 or e3 or the m-audio ie-10 or ie-20 in ear monitors.... once you use them and get used to them you will never go back to Trad. style headphones

I will never own a headphone other than a Sony MDR-7506. They're the industry standard in broadcasting and they're awesome for DJing (Howard Stern and Glenn Beck both wear them on air).

Second the MDR-7506, or its consumer version, the MDR-V6. Only difference is $20 and the gold plated plug. Nearly indestructible, easy to fix, customizable with different ear pads, and cheap, you can pick up the V6s at Fry's for $80. You see these everywhere in pro audio and video production.

DENON HP 1000...i prefer tht one to hd 25s n sony...reason being it can tolerate loud music and it wont distort....and guess waat..those headphones been in the market for a while n no dealers wud offer it for less thn 128 pounds....www.decks.co.uk the cheapest in uk even them....

I broke mine also the night before I had a gig and went on a panic. I went down to the Sony store from where I had bought it. I told the guy that he needs to help me out, I have a gig tomm, still have the receipt and warranty. He gave me a brand new one for free, spent only $20 for another warranty. Seeing a $150 headphone with a broken plug is not a good look....

warranty is well worth it, you just never know....

sennheiser HD 25

I've got the Denon DJ PRO1000's. Great headphones in my opinion. They are really comfortable, and sound great.

maybe they are called something else. There is a 1000 in the name, that's all I remember. Denon 1000 something or other. k, i'm done now.

I bought a warranty from guitar center but i dont think it would cover it would it? I mean the little plug is completely broken you can tell it was broken on accident.

my buddy who works there will replace any broken set of phones brought from them with warrentry. He told me one guy has pioneer 1000's, and has broken 4 sets this year

pioneers cost 119 pounds n hardly any one around here buys it unless they r like the pioneer freak!

hd 25s distort on high volumes chk it out...especially when u try it with allen n heath..i got a pair of hd25s n denons...i use hd25s at home n denons in the club!

its DENON HP1000...

HD25s ftw.

you'll save money in the long run just due to the fact that all the parts are replacable.

well u have replacable ear cups for the denons too!! end of the day its how you handle ur headphones...i take good care of it...and its always in the bag if i m not using it..so it shud stay for a long time..touch wood!!

I love my Ultrasone DJ1's... sound great and look oh-so-cool.
