I'm new here so Hi everyone, looking forward to the forum.
 
I have owned numerous pairs of Sony MDR-V700DJs, mainly as they break so often. Even though they are not the best sounding headphones in the world, they have a decent low end and have suited my DJing style over the years.
 
Now I am looking to replace them with something more durable, with a similar sort of sound profile as the Sonys.
I'm used to the swivel 90 degree arms as well.
I'd also like the headphones to be quite a small size, as some bass heavy cans are sooo big.
 
I've been looking at the following, any other recommendations would be great:
Philips A3 Pro
Philips A5 Pro
Audio Technica ATH-PRO700MK2
Technics RP-DH1200
 
Thanks
Chris

Your budget is under $200, yes? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the headphones on your list or really any DJ headphones. I just thought clarifying your budget might help someone else help you.

Yes my budget is around £150 ($200).

Been looking at the AKG headphones as well but don't know much about them.

Sennheiser HD25-1 II
 
Closest thing there is to an industry standard DJ headphone: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1954
 
Basic edition is currently £118 on amazon.

I have listenned to the HD25s and yes they are fantastic - but too accurate for me, not enough bass. Far too much like a studio headphone.

HD7 DJs? They were 160 last time I looked on Amazon UK.
