If he's your friend, it won't hurt to spend $50 and getting him the Superlux 668B's

Quote: I was told the AKG K550 did a great job with soundstage even though it's closed back. It's a great compromise for both. It was designed with Open sound signatures in mind. 

Quote: I'm thinking of filling in that hollow ring and covering the vents. If I only do those two, what results should I expect?  

Quote:   Audio Technica ATH-M50. Since you're in China, be very careful about fakes of this headphone because it is highly counterfeited especially in China. Try buying from a large distributer such as the large Shangha Media Mall and what-not.     

Quote: +1 for the Senn HD25-1 II and the VModa M-80's. The M-80's have apparently performed phenominally well in terms of over-ear headphones and they have a pretty good fan-base raving about the sound quality. If you're wary about sound quality and you want to guarantee that you'll like...

Quote: +1 Vote for the M50's. Being a flat response headphone, they can pretty much do every genre some justice. 

Quote: I can attest to everything said above, so future buyers beware. I did exactly described: they are now trashed and thrown away because they fell apart. Currently rocking new HDJ-2000's and enjoying them so much more than my terrible experience with the fakes. Don't let this...

Quote: Well I can guarantee that you won't be dissapointed with the M50's. The Sound Professionals is also doing a detachable cable mod for $199 (the headphone is included along with 3 extra wires). What sort of sound signature are you looking for and what kind of music do you listen to...

Quote: I was actually told the bass in these headphones was really prevalent. I'm not a very versed Head-Fi'er and I don't understand what problem you were having to begin with. Was the bass too flimsy or something?

Quote: M50 > CAL!, but still not a bad purchase. M50 can be your future upgrade if you enjoy higher quality headphones (:  

Is there anything that isn't as messy as blutak that a first time modder can use with little consequence?

  Quote: I won't be getting these headphones, my dad pretty much just said "sucks for you". HDJ-2000 it is ):

I'm legitimately on the verge of TEARS because of how powerless I feel right now... I have to wait till tomorrow morning until I can cancel my Amazon order of the HDJ-2000's and order these ): FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

WAIT ARE YOU SERIOUS? THEY DIDN'T REPLY TO ME AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE FAKE!   Quote:  

Quote: That's kind of a hefty question, because there isn't a person here (so far) that owns every single one of those headphones. But, IMHO, the M50 outclasses them because it's more expensive and more of a higher tiered entry level headphone than all of those. If there was one thing...

Quote: Okay well since we've established that a sales rep opinion is always garbage, I'll think twice before getting excited about something like that again. That being said, I still haven't been able validate to myself which one the would be better for me so for personal purposes, I'm...

Quote: I extremely appreciate your input, but I honestly really just absolutely CANNOT decide between the HDJ-2000 or the DJ1 Pro or the DJ1 or the PRO 750 haha. I have reasons for wanting all of them but I can only have one and I really don't want to be disappointed after spending so...

Quote: This is quoted from a The Sound Professionals Employee:      How much truth is found in that statement?   

Quote: Thoughts on the PRO 750 vs. The DJ1/DJ1 Pro?

Quote: Look into the AKG K550's. Stylish, sturdy, brand new (came out this year). Apparently it's quite a spectacular headphone.    http://www.amazon.com/AKG-Acoustics-K550-Closed-Back-Headphones/dp/B006IBILRO  

Quote: Well the current deal stands at $199 for a pre-modded ATH-M50 with 10 year warranty on the plug, and its +$10 if you want it in white. It comes with 3 different cables: 2 extended ones and the stock cable.  Here is the link if anyone else is interested...

Quote: Ah okay. I just don't have the luxury of trying either of them so I need opinions on which one is better. Thoughts on M50's with detachable cords?

Quote: I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. 

And also, how would the Audio Technica ATH-M50 pair up to these two? Since I can buy it premodified with a detached cable, they are completely back into consideration. 

Quote: So overall you're saying that I'm basically looking for what the HDJ-2000 delivers: good clarity, while also serving as high performance DJ headphones? (Just to make sure). How come everyone still raves about the DJ1 Pro sound signature even though it has recessed mids? Also, I...
