    Hehe. Sorry making fun of the spam threads.

    I have a pair of Sennheisers, and although they sound great, they are built like shit. The ear cushions fall apart.

    • that's what it says on the reviews... so what else is good?– clearThoughts1/2
      Well they just sound very good. Really strong bass, but 6 months after buying they started falling apart.– CygnusZero42/2

    Dont bother with Sony!

    If you want THE best DJ Headphones then either:
    Sennheiser HD25 MkII
    These are the heaphone of choice for DJs and Producers as they have great isolation, sound and built to last! They'l take a beating! plus each individual part is replaceable.

    or

    AIAIAI TMA-1
    These are getting big kudos from folk and people are switching to these from the HD25's as they have slightly better sound.

    Bear in mind, any headphones you buy for DJ use and Production shouldn't be used for Mastering tracks as the headphones are designed to give "bass boost" and enhance the sound.
    Whereas when mastering you want to be workign with a flat sound.
    So for this purpose you should consider proper studio headphones.

    These are a good shout and have been industry standard for years! These are what sound production guys wear on filmshoots/studios etc.

    • yep, the hd25s are the standard– Mulatu1/3
      AIAIAI's are getting good reports though over the HD25's– 23kon2/3
      also, don't master in headphones. esp. with DT100's - they're generally good for one thing these days - isolation– kingsteven3/3

    AKGs are decent for spinning if you get the right model.

    like monospaced said, if you are going for something get the right model!

    a lot of the brands have their professional models but also very similar budget models. they might look the same but definitely DONT perform the same.

    Also, you DONT want to be paying for a brand name (e.g Dre Beats), you want to be paying for performance!

    I loved my old AKG's.... great for hours on end. Try before you buy, some sennheisers hurt my head and / or ears...

    Try headphones for fit, to make sure they wrap around your ears well enough to block out outside sounds really, really well, as that's the idea of production headphones, so you know what you're REALLY recording....

    • my old AKGs used to hurt my head they were so tight, but that helped in the loud clubs– monospaced

    there are open, semi-open, & closed models to choose from. i prefer closed for the most sound isolation though there are high reviews on several semi-open models by AKG

    Don't ever mix tracks with headphones. They will sound like shit unless you know what you're doing.

    Just saying.

    • You could get a VRM box for reference...– keewee1/2
      I agree, but i live in an apartment building and usually only have time to mix at 2am.– big-papes2/2

    I got a Focusrite VRM box that i use with my Beyerdynamic DT100, a set of behringers and my iphone headphones.

    The most important thing when mastering is to be able to listen on as many systems/situations/locations as possible.
    Headphones, hifi, tv, car, mates hifi, ipod,nightclub (if you have access)

    Only THEN will you know that the sound is doing on each system.

    I have the DT 770 Pro 80OHM for mixing, they are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. However I'm not super into the bass quality, I kinda want to try the Sennheiser HD 650, because I hear they are the best mixing headphones, but they are expensive.
    As I understand, the open back headphones are best for sound, althouhg not recording because of the sound bleed.

    I also have the AIAIAI TMA-1 for DJing and everyday use, as well as the technics DJ headphones.

    The bass response of the DT770 is not flat. it is an enhanced sound other than that of your production. as to say if you are trying to accurately gauge how much bass is going into a track with those headphones, the headphones are adding to what you actually have.

    as far as listening /djing they should be fine, but production, I'd say not.

    some really nice reviews... Have a pair of AKG's though they are getting pretty worn out.

    • those don't look comfortable at all, if you are wearing them for long periods of time, stick with the known guns. they look nice though– Miguex1/2
      though– Miguex2/2
