I really like my sennheiser hd570's, but that is a very specific opinion. You need different kind of headphones for different situations. If you are planning on using them for DJ'ing you need something sturdy with good noise cancellation. If it's for purely home use then pure sound quality is more important. It also depends on the shape of your head (really!). I'd recommend going to a music gear store with a CD you know the sound of well and listen to the various models they have.

yeah...

sennheiser's are great headphones... but personaly i wouldn't want to use either of those for djing.

for dj headphones pioneers are probably the best quality sound and the most expensive.

if yer on a budget stanton dj2000's are the bomb i've had mine for like 4 years now and even though they look like a dog chewed on them they still work fine.

i wouldn't recomend the dj3000 model though... i've had 3 of my friends bust em within' a month of purchase.

a great middle ground would be technics... you simply can't go wrong with these.

audio technica also makes great headphone models for both djing and studio use.

fairly priced too.

a good rule of thumb is not to spend less than 100 dollars on dj headphones.

I actually use 2 different kind of headphones, the sennheisers for production, and a cheap pair of sony mdr-250's for recording with my mic, since they barely leak. If you are ever recording vocals, a cheap pair of closed headphones is good for the person you are recording to use to monitor because sometimes the singers/musicians are dipshits who are not careful with your gear (I've never had problems though).

Well I already have Pioneer HDJ1000 for DJing and I think they are awesome, I was told not to produce using them though and so I am looking for a good pair (brand new) or a great pair (ebay) of studio quality headphones purely for producing with. I need to hear what my music will sound like to others.
I guess the real deal here is that i don't have enough cash for a studio monitor and need some headphones to produce with. My price range is 70$-200$ MAX. thx

btw - if you want decent headphones for playing out at a budget price... you can get a construction worker headset (which blocks a fair amount of noise) at most hardware stores - and then take the drivers out of a set of $40 headphones and put them inside... hell, you can go cheaper than that if you want. I took the drivers out of the free set that came with my old walkman.

for home use... I like Senheiser. I've got the HD500s.

looks like I'll be bidding on some ATH-M30's. do the specs speak for themselves or does the brand name really make a diff? otherwise I've seen some great specs for cheap sony earphones... what's the deal with that?

the specs are really meaningless, they are almost always overexagerations of how well the system performs.

I heard beyerdynamic headphones are very good, haven't used them yet.

I use beyerdynamic dt-150, I bough them under advisement of Scorb, Nrs and Deviant Species, they are the bomb, hands down. I found a pair on e-bay for 10$ usd, but that was just pure luck... you look like an idiot with them on your head but its hard to care once you try them.

Im a loyal Sony user when it comes to phones, MDR-V600's are the obvious quality Dj headphones of choice around the world, I've been beating the shit out of mine for about 5 years and they are still kicking strong. As for production, if you move up a couple of notches, I think the MDR-V900's would be my choice, they are some top quality studio production headphones... However, both models are big and heavy, but I gotta big head and some big ears, so they fit me nice and comfy, but arent right for all...

I use the mdrv900's to mix in parties with..I'd never use them for production though, although sony promotes them as "studio headphones"..I find they lack definition in a big way.
