Ight, well its time for me to buy some new headphones.
My first dj pair were shit to begin with.. bottom of hte line sonys
so what should i grab for a quality, price, etc..
are Sennheiser worth the $$ really.. ive heard so, but i never have use em.
apart from the fact that Hollywood studios use em and a coule of ppl i know in the Toronto jungle scene as well..
supposedly parts to replace em are easy.. i unno.. im lookin for $150 to $200 CND....

i've got to use sony v700's. i had the fancy fuckin' pioneers and they didn't have quite the "punch"... for mixing jungle i think the silver sony's are the best strictly for their type / quality of sound. they're known for breaking at the hinges, but just treat them with care. |

Get some Sennheisers, they're the best I've used in 15 years of DJing. Or you could go for the Technics ones but I'm not sure if they're any good. Just DONT use a telephone headphone, now thats cheesy! lol |

The sony 700 are worth every fucking penny. I have been through 2 pair yes but they last and sound great. The Pioneer 1000s SUCK ASS! Dont get them.
Sennheisers are sweet but make sure not to get the straight cord because it is really short.

They'e the RPDH1200 Pros. I've been reading reviews on them and they're really good for the 'tables. And theyre only £100, I'm not sure what that is in dollars, maybe around $180? They're sort of styled on the Technics 1200 turntable which incidently last forever! Try em, I think I'll get them next too. |

ok then... and here in the US "DUDE" is used as a unisex nomenclature on teh interweb. no big deal over here.
also.... let me rephrase the statement... the person who bought the phones for you as a gift got ripped off
