hi guys,

need a decent pair of headphones for listening, DJ'ing and producing.
budget: +- €200

i've read some of the buyer's guides online, but i would like some personal recommendations as well ...
thanks in advance!

and oh, it wouldn't hurt if the thing looked good as well


EDIT: might wanna add I don't know anything about headphones, but I assume there must be different types of headphones, specifically for DJ'ing or listening, but I would like a pair that's suited for both, if possible.

Use the search funktion and you have plenty to choose from!

I'm using AIAIAI TMA-1's. Very satisfied with the price point and they're extremely durable.

I was literally looking at those just a few minutes ago.
How about the isolation?

You ever tried a Sennheiser HD-25 ?
If so, how would you compare the two?

Really love my audio technica ath M 50: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headp ... ndex.html/
I use for both production and djing. they sound gourgous and carry the low end really y well. tried many high end head phones and these have been my favs

I actually own both. VERY comparable. What sets the TMA-1's apart for me is their durability, you can literally bend them and throw anything at them, and they hold up very well. Can't go wrong with either imo.

Alright, guess I'll test both models out and buy whichever one I prefer.
Thanks for your input!

Sennheiser HD 380 Pro has extreme isolation. In fact it can be a little fatiguing. But I always use low volume.

+1 on the Audio Technica M50 !! GREAT cans!

alright thanks, i'll look into those as well!

+ several above on the AT 50s

very nice, un-boosted bass and smooth high-end

another AT M-50---boom!

I'm looking into these Sennheisers ... can anyone tell me what the difference is between these three models:

HD-25 II http://tonecontrol.be/en/products/headp ... -hd-25-ii/
HD-25-1 II http://tonecontrol.be/en/products/headp ... d-25-1-ii/
HD-25-C II http://tonecontrol.be/en/products/headp ... d-25-c-ii/

the description is the same on all of them!
