I hate those headphones. It's not the recordings, it's the high frequencies of the V6/7506. Bright, coarse treble like gravel. The expensive 7509's fix this problem. My Ixos headphones also are a good alternative, but are a bit midrangy and lacking in low level resolution. Much more comfortable...

I think that's is SOOOOOOOOOO WRONG. My ER4S headphones reveal just how well recorded, mixed, and mastered most of my CD's and records are. You'd be surprised how much care most engineers put into their work and how much better their gear is to anything you are using. I think when people go on...

I have yet to hear the type of perfect glow of a recently certified THX theater in any home system, speakers or headphones. Matrix Reloaded in DD-EX and The Sum of All Fears in SDDS...that's my idea of great sound.

Transducers don't clip, amps do. If you're getting clipping with the V700 then its load is too much for your MD's headphone jack with bass boost on. Either get a headphone amp, turn off bass boost, get lower impedence headphones, or buy a new MD player. I doubt very much a MD player could...

So Sony 7509 and Stanton 3000 are still candidates. Beatmaster 550, maybe. What's your opinion on the Pioneer 1000 in comparison? Have you guys heard the Numark PHX-1?

Clearly separated beats are extremely important to my mixing. You just talked me out of the Senn 280's that I was about to get at DJmart. I wonder if the 7509 or the Stanton 3000 would still be good to try. Still hesitant about that headband, though, on the Beatmasters. That meier-audio.com...

I'll probably end up getting the custom molds and 15dB disc eventually. Which of those headphones do you think produces better bass for mixing?

I hate the V6/7506 headphone. The bass isn't necessarily boosted and they're way too bright and coarse. I need a lot of tight, undestorted low end and the rest can just be neutral. Like I said, a low pass filter could possibly make that requirement a moot point. Yeah, I'm staying away from that...

They need to be closed, circumaural. The 25's are not...pad sits on your ears. Technics 1200A has the same problem. They also need to have a lot of tight, loud bass, but without muddy mids or highs. Low pass filter would certainly be a benefit. It also needs to be able to handle at least 400mW...

My Ixos headphones started cracking this weekend. Same two spots where the top headband section meets the two other headband segments. It's cracking symmetrically in the same spots on both ends on the gray cover plastic. Doesn't appear to be affecting the structural integrety of it (mr. spock)...

That's me, man. The Ixos are fabulous headphones but sound mid-rangey and lacking in tightness in the low end out of my mixer. Out of anything else (even strait out the DJ CD players) they sound perfect. But they are too neutral for DJing on my midrangey mixer. They also start a resonance above...

Here are my requirements: Sealed, Closed, Circumaural design (not the headphones that sit on your ear, rather AROUND it...no vents) Sensitivity above 100dB/mW Impedence between 20-70ohms Ability to handle at least 400mW without any distortion or resonance of any kind. Exaggerated...

That's not it. The round up I'm looking for also had Technics 1200 series headphones, Sennheisers, and was extensive and well written. Black background, too, with big pictures.

Anyone know where the round-up is on the net? I saw it like last year.

I'm looking for a headphone round up I found on the internet with Technics 1200, Sennheiser 280, Sony 700, and Pioneer 1000 headphones. I can't find it now.
