Hello CoUg4r   KRK's are probably your best bet. KRK generally produces for professional settings, so they'll probably last you and they're certainly up to standard in quality. The Pioneer's are a nice choice, but like Tablix said the main issue would be the inputs.   The reason you'll want...

My mini-xlr cable for AKG K240's got bent out of shape recently, and I'm gonna need a new one. Are these a viable alternative? http://tinyurl.com/loxv56y

There really is no upgrade for a Sennheiser HD25 unless you're willing to greatly exceed your budget, as someone else said.   Recently I felt the need to add to my headphone collection, because my HD25's were kind of unfulfilling in some ways. I picked up a pair of AKG K240STUDIOs, which...

I listen primarily to electronic, classical, and some other odd songs, and I would confidently say the HD25's are the safest pair of headphones you can buy on the market. They're apparently very versatile and sound good with just about anything. But they're very punchy to me, and the highs...

Anyone know anything about the Pioneer HDJ500's?  

So right now I'm using Sennheiser HD25 1 II's and an Audio 2 DJ to listen to music (I also have an NAD shelf amp, but I'm not too concerned with that). What I would like to know is how Grado SR80's and 60's would sound on an Audio 2 DJ, which does rather condition the music and add a lot of...

This is a rather arbitrary suggestion, but I'm presently interested in generally the same kind of sound, and I'm looking at Gary's PA2V2 amp and I presently own Sennheiser HD25 1 II's. The amp is $60 and I got the Senns for $160, though they usually go for about $200.    But someone more...

Quote: Yeah I guess I kinda did, but even then, my mood could change. Plus, I've decided to give these a year and then see how they play out. On top of that still, I already have HD25's, which, I have convinced myself, are the most versatile headphones on the market excluding the TMA's...

^Thanks for that, Kern   Right now I'm just trying to decide if I want these or the Allen & Heath Xone:XD-53's. The 53's are DJ phones, whereas the TMA's seem like more versatile phones, including for DJing. 

Ah, I see. I'm very used to cheap. "EXTREME BASS" $25-40 headphones, and the Sony MDR-V500's and Sennheiser HD25's were my first "professional" pairs of headphones. At this point, I'm either just going to settle one of the AKG's or move upwards and fight with myself over the Allen & Heath...

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD25 1 II right now, and my powerers are a Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ and an NAD 3225PE amp. I'm looking for a pair of good, big headphones for fun, easy, perhaps stupid listening. I can listen to high quality stuff with the Senns, but I also want something to...

Cool, thanks for the replies. I'm gonna sell a couple pairs of headphones I have right now (Senn HD25s and Sony MDRV500) and spend that on the TMA-1's. However, I'm debating whether I should get the TMA1's or the Allen & Heath XD-53's. 

Would anyone suggest these as an upgrade from HD25 1 II's? Mine are basically still brand new, but these seem like they have some nice upgrades.
