Technics 1200s got my first pair back in 99 for $240.00 and they lasted till 2004, when the cord got cut on something and frayed. I was using them every day for DJing and for walkman second pair - which i got at a discount for $160.00 - lasted me from 2004 till now. same everyday heavy use, and still goin strong great sound, and they can take a beating without any parts breaking like on some other brands |

 Coolness: 221840 | yeah, it's really a matter of persoanl taste (and defness).. lol.. i swear by the Sony MDr-700's.. my first pair didn't last too long as i used to lag them everywhere and didn't take care of them.. my second pair is still around and look brand new still (they never left my house). The sound quality to me out of those headphones are better than any other pair i've tried. All those stanton headphones have very low sound amplification, and you end up hurting your ear drums with insane mid range freq's (for what i've heard anyways) killing the bass basically. Why i like the sony's is because :
A) i'm a bass-junkie B) i'm a headphone Dj C) They cut most of the sound around me (it helps when i turn the monitor's towards the crowed too lol) D) They are very comphy, have great length (i can walk from my setup to the bathroom, take a piss, and walk back without taking them off..lol) E) they can go MUCH louder without clipping than every single other pair i've tried (i own a pair of the pioneer HDJ-1000's and they don't even come close). so yeah, it depends on your needs i guess !! |

 Coolness: 106190 | Cutterhead, i'm sure you are totally right about everything you said. We are just coming at the issue from different perspectives.
Where i work (cbc), in one day i can work with 50 headphones, maybe 3 or 4 different brands and maybe 15 or so models. These headphones have been used by hundreds of different peoples. They go through quite a battering. Each has his strengths and weaknesses, some break at the joint between the earpieces and the brace, some get there wires riped out of them for others, the earpad disintegrates. Maybe I just didnt quite understand your meaning, but i have yet to come by a headphone wire that will "cut" itself over time, without the help of a knife of plyers. anyways merry x-mas |

| Coolness: 131670 | : C oh thats a shame
this is why i try to inform the forum, because everything gets toss in a trash can as soon as its giving signs of physics. beside laser lens, and STK ( solidstate transistor amp in one , anything can get repaired or buffed up. Update » cutterhead wrote on Wed Dec 24, 2008 @ 7:55pm hehe merry x to you too databoy.
i didnt know you work the tech shop at cbc. ha u must be busy ! i think that your ppl are less aggressive with the material than djs / kids / etc.. you right about if your not tempering with it, then there shouldnt be damage on its own. i notice that small details , like how you lay a headphone jack and its wire on a counter top, or transportation means. are the only thing people do (keeping the "wrong" out). shure having a mental image of how the wire is inside helps. but these two actions we all take, can represent serious damage for one , less for an other.

generated by the "quote" it gets discarded, even if i copy paste ! wtf!? anyways . one day ill figure it out, nowel party for now ! |

| Coolness: 106190 | I dont fix the gear, i use it. I mix radio shows, record concerts stuff like that.
I leave the fixing to the peoples best suited for that stuff. You seem passionate about electronics, you should apply. You would get to fix all sorts of expensive equipment. :) |

| Coolness: 131670 | databoy funny you say that because im trying to break into market of servicing broadcasting
(& related) equipment, its not that easy thou, i had technicolour that i wanted to get in, cbc, cbc radio, or mplus. that field is pretty hard to get in , since normally at that point the ppl you work with share the same passion, some more crazy than others... lately i have push a lot of doors to get in calibration tool calibration & repair. witch is what i do in my buisness. the problem is since the market is downfaling due to the "trashable" view everyone has gotten in the last two deccade about electronics since the removal of shematics that used to be provided. now unless the item sold into the billions units, chances are if they have proprietary components, these are unavailable upon the production line change. witch make them serviceable for only a year after production ends. and as the for the electronic engineering i do in my free time, im afraid that in 10-20y from now my ability to do so will be so much so restricted with the forthcoming metal value increase / mixed with plant phasing out globally & resource depletion ( last one is unjustified imo ) so yea i try to eat , dream , think , bleed , learn , design , etc.. all in electronic (no wireless) before it all get wireless, or below the 10nm scale for all designer (wich would require me to aquire a plant). the problem too is i can work radiotransfers, i just have a different view of how technology is pushed forward globaly, and working alone against a globe is pretty hard. (generalising) luckily i get some of my interpretation accepted into different spheres of design (never withou a fight :C ), and working with isolated groups get all that even harder orchestrate so i can get them othogonaly aware leaving me to move onward. now its always reinform-reinform-reinform- and the capitalistic turn the 90s took about how technology is to be profiteer from and not the oposite "for" the technology , got me to take a very defensive stand for the old engineers that today are "silent keys", that have their work salami slice down to save the last penny and literraly butched in some case, gets me very passionnate about it. im generalising a lot here, were far from that fatalistic view that i have, but it on the door step.

They had very good sound for a working DJ, but they are built as solid as rotting shit and will always break. I broke two pairs in about 6 months and then decided that I was never going to get them again since 250$ a pair for a pile of crap is 250$ more than I should have spent. I have used the Technics DJ headphones since then and, while I'm not particularly happy with their sound either, they are built like a tank and will most likely still be in working condition after the apocalypse. I think my next pair will be the new Allen & Heath DJ headphones however as I've heard very good comments about both their sound quality and solidity. |

| Coolness: 131670 | active type headphone should definitely be discarded from you list, especially if its not
the speaker material (speaker acts like a transistor), so if you have a volume wheel anywhere on your cord, leave it at the shop.... i felt it had to be said. motorised bass headphone in clubs LOL |
