Where will you be spinning, as in what type of venue, crowd size? Assuming you are a DJ of course.

 

[iQEM]

ah, at last...a reply...

nope, i'm not a DJ, just a basshead

...just curious about 'em, that's all...are they as good as my K518dj, better or not even near ?

 

[appophylite]

If you're a bass-head they may not be the worst thing to buy, if you can find them at the right price. I can't speak for any of the phones mentioned on your list other than the Technics, because I had interest in them a couple of years back. From what I remember, they sounded like closed KSC-35/PortaPro with more bass then those phones (deal-killer #1 for me, because I already think that the KSC 35 and PortaPro have enough bass), and they were comfortable on my ears. However, deal-killer #2 for me was the Local Rat Shack was asking $200 for them, which I felt could be better spent on other cans. That, and the fact that I realized that I favor open phones over closed more these days.

If I remember my time on Head-Fi well, I think it's safe to say, avoid the Sony V700 though. From what I've heard, they are junk, but I've never heard them with my own ears.

 

[iQEM]

so, basically Technics RPDJ 1200 just sound like a closedback KSC35/Portapro, with lot more of bass ?

i c, thx for the info's appophylite...so they're a lil overpriced too, huh ?

any other opinion ?

 

[varro]

They are not worth it. For a good headphones for dj use check Sennheiser HD 25-1 II

 

[Nuwidol]

Yeah the senns do actually get used by djs too. I remember paul oakenfold used to use em (maybe still does, its been a while since i've paid any attention to that scene)

I used a pair of the sonys (still have em actually) & i was happy with them for years. Don't know if i would be now...

I have been DJing for 3 years at my local club. I have friends that is a DJ for 20
some years. The most headphones they use is either Sony MDR-V700 or the
Pioneer HDJ-1000. Rarely they even use the others you mentioned or even ever.
I am from Los Angeles so there is a lot of DJ I can based of opinions. They prefer
MDR-V700. Head-Fiers don't like them for some reason but DJ's love them. They
do 100% of what a DJ need.

 

[iQEM]

oh, i c ? Sony MDR-V700 and the second one is Pioneer HDJ-1000, right ? how far they sound from K81dj/K518dj ?

thx for the response guys...

 

[WittyzTH]

I prefer Pioneer HDJ-1000. imo it's better than V700s in all department.

to the OP, if you really like bass, those AKG may be your answer. or try the Beyer DT770s. not a DJ can, but they present bass very well imo.

I've only tried the V700s, but I'd write a pretty favorable review of them for the price. It's not a pair I use at home for listening anymore (got some HD650s for that), but they're certainly fine for electronic/club music.

More importantly - to me - is that they seem pretty indestructible. I usually break headphones within a year or so of use, but my V700s have been tossed around in every conceivable situation for a good three years now. They show signs of wear, but they still work fine. Just be warned, the cord on them sucks, and WILL get messed up.

Take 'em for a listen, since you can find them at almost any store that sells headphones. I remember being wowed by them three years ago. So long ago...

 

[Aevum]

all the matsu****a sound products i have tested failed to impress me, a pair of IEM´s actually disgusted me, when it comes to headphones, i would pass on any matsu****a,

btw, matsushuta = panasonic = technics
they have tons of good products, and extreamly good mid range electronics, but for some reason, headphones escape their know how,

There's a good group review of DJ-headphones at www.skratchworx.com
I'm using RP-DJ1210's for DJ'ing, but they are way too tight for normal listening, at least on my head. Very good isolation, and very durable (I've used mine almost daily for approx. 7 years. There seems to be the general consensus that Technics got only two DJ products right, the SL-12XXMkX turntables and the RP-DJ12X0 headphones.
