Audio-Technica ATH-M50
Ultrasone DJ1 Pro
Ultrasone HiFi 580-780
Sony MDR-7506,7509

All are easy to drive from portable source and are folding.

Ultrasones have best bass of all IMHO. Deep ,tight,detailed,clear,punchy.

find some retailers that offer 30-day return then you can try all of the ones in your shortlist. I think headroom at HeadRoom: Stereo Headphones, Amps & DACs, Wireless, Noise Canceling, Ear Canal, Earbud, Audio Cables & Accessories do offer this scheme. DT770, M50 and HD 25-1 are all decent headphones for their prices. You just gotta try them out if you want the one you like most. Otherwise, any of these would do you justice

I dont know why i never been a fan of sony headphones...
and about ultrasone.. a lot of ppl arent to fond of those but some ppl like them.

Ugh...

I guess for DJing you need folding headphones with rotating cans.
Isn't it's so?

Your so right about the wallet.. my post was originally for 1 pair of headphones now its 2 . lol

Its ok though and yes white bear they are for djing.

So heres the deal ill lay it flat out ...

1st headphone djing for electronic music [HD25] no amp

2nd headphone also mostly electronic music .. need nice bass very tight punchy .. ipod computer etc .. no amp [still havent decided] maybe DT770 ..they look so damn comfy or Audio-Technica ATH-M50 or Ultrasone DJ1 Pro or Shure 840..


BTW i heard the DT 770's with a small amp like a Fiio E5 can cause some serious damage what do you guys think :]
Yay or nay ;]

Im a terrible impulse buyer ;[

 

[Noobiiee]

I'll go with DT770 and a CMoy instead of E5, E5 would have difficulties driving 250ohm phones. Sorry about your wallet!

You'll be fine with just the hd 25s and a DAC/amp for your computer. Theyre great for everything. Tight punchy and all that good stuff, but not too much. Look into some more "fun" headphones after you actually think you're bored by the hd 25. 'Cause I dont think you will. Dont waste ur cash.

I would suggest the HD 25-1 II as well.

They block external noise very well and have a fairly strong bass. They are very nice, well built, tough, are easy to transport, and have one side that can be moved away from the ear for one ear listening.

 

[BassinURface]

Sounds like a plan im going to pick up my HD-25's today :]

1 questions eventhough I decided ..
Any recommendations for a nice start amp/DAC for the HD-25 II.

Depends if you want it portable or not. If you're using an ipod, you just gain some transparancy and clearness with the hd 25, atleast with those i have, but almost any DAC will help if you're going to listen through a PC. Don't worry too much about the audio which will be coming out of your mixer, won't be that great no matter how expnsive they are. Say a price range... but ofc, if you can compensate to just using your ipod, and just a charger from your laptop, you can asve some serious dough, which is better off for getting a bigger music collection, as youre djing this is very important, atleast when playing for other people.

What DJ gear u getting?

 

[BassinURface]

I have Serato .. with a cheapy cheapy mixer with 2 cdj-400's

Im going to upgrade my mixer to a DJM-800...

I think as far as djing goes the HD-25 ii's fold up and are "very true" which will be perfect for mixing... at least thats my idea for the cans plus maybe using it for my ipod.. these are $150ish.

I was thinking for my 2nd can .. I want it more colored and comfy it be just fun to listen with ..[electronic music so nice punchy bass] including my pc and ipod.

That was kinda my plan .. thats why i was thinking about the DT 770's as well cuz they look comfy and someone recommended a Fio E5 that would drive them.

If im mistaken with anything or have it wrong let me know :] thx you guys are awsome .. seirously lol

I found the DT770 80 ohm to have pretty sloppy bass and painfully bright highs. A tube amp improved the sound considerably but did not fix the problems. DT770-600 ohm will probably sound better, but then you'll need to buy a full-sized amp which will cost more than the headphones. SRH840 had the least flaws and among the best bass of 4 <200 closed headphones I heard. I haven't heard HD-25, which people really seem to like.

Take your time in your decision, you can spend a lot of money for mediocre sound if you aren't careful. Start small (e.g. $100 udac amp/dac + $130 SRH840) and let that serve as your reference.

 

[BassinURface]

What about in the 200-300 dollar range?

BTW the DAC/AMP your talking about is for PC purposes right? not portable.

COnsider buying a second headphone after you hear how "boring" the HD 25 is... And pioneer mixers are garbage for the price. Or well...almost garbage. And an E5 wont do ****...4 real
