i dont mind HD 25s`s -
i use a reasonalbly cheap ($100) pair of technics headphones, and like em - compared to others.

personal preference tho i guess. i like a bigger cup tho preferably.

go into derringers dude - try em all out, see what your comfy with, and wat sounds best to you

Yeah, agree with slide. get into derringers. theyll look after ya.

HD25s are great, small and comfy, but i dont they cancel as much noise as the sony ones. I have the sony ones, and to be honest they sound great, and are the comfiest around, but they crack everywhere. its like their only flaw, but it happens everywhere. The pioneer ones are good but i dont think they are as comfy. Personnally, id say get the Technics 1210 headphones. Sure bet i reckon :thumbsup:

Chemical records is prolly the best place on the net for HD-25's

not to be confused with the 'HD-25s' which is a lower spec headphone with a split lead..

That's what I was going to suggest. They're good because you can get replacement parts for them.

Was that a sarcastic " you don't know what you're talking about because you don't mix, so fuck off " kind of question ?

I have a box full of records but I can't mix. My old housemate had nice equipment and was good mates with Andy J so I learnt a bit about this kinda stuff.

Haha I would be the last person to be sarcastic about mixing.. I also have a box full of records that I can't mix very well at all!

It was an honest question.. and I wasn't discounting your opinion..

Just that unless you mixed it would be unlikely that you would go out and spend 100 pounds on headphones!

That's alright then. *Puts down the axe* ;p
I've attempted mixing with different headphones and found them the best ... but they're kinda flimsy and i was worried they'd break, but they're the only ones you can get replacement parts for. Those silver Sony ones worth around $400 are nice ... they look pretty too :)

i think you are just fixing a typo there, but yeah... the sp's suck, the cups spin and the cords get twisted. well ghey!!

hd 25s + velour cup covers are the comfiest.

Replacement parts for the Sennheisers are not cheap (ie. ca. 100 a driver). However in stating that, they are pretty good cans, if you wanna spend cash you could always look at Beyer Dynamic, also pretty impressive. Derringers have both in stock (or so I am led to believe), you may wish to Google that. Google is what is known as a "Search Engine", its provides the facility to search through millions of "Internet" sites/pages, by the use of "keywords" ie. a word of interest which you would like to research further (be careful here, I am also led believe that there are numerous rogue "sites" (it's and abbreviated version for internet sites/pages) which may contain graphic material of a pornographic nature). These sites often house a myriad of information, often directly pertaining to the keywords used to initiate the search. Conversely try www.derringers.com.au although the nature of letters/symbols maybe completely dissociated from anything to do with the business (ie. the name), I do believe that this site contains information about products and prices of this afore mentioned local DJ shop Derringers.

Good luck in your quest...

Aye, but if you bollox up any other headphones you need to replace the whole f'king thing at $250-300 :crazy:
Plus, 1 driver is a fairly significant percentage of the whole headphone, so its not surprising it costs a fair bit too

Ive got pair of Sennheiser HD 25s and never looked back. Best headphones on the market in my opinion. Everything is replaceable and comes with a 2 year waranty.

Maybe my sarcasm got the better of me, just pointing out the price of replacement parts, ultimately great cans (lets face it, who doesn't love great cans?) + dirt cheap from chemical-records (also part of the wonderful world of the Internerd) = makes them the logical option.
