light
great sound
durable (mine are 8 yrs old and the only change has been the velour ear pads)
replaceable everything

ive never liked the technics (heavy) or the pioneer (uncomfortable)
NOTHING FINER THAN A PARMAGINA

Due to wanting to get paid but not wanting to go to work. I've started a fund.. if you can donate to it or pass it on to all your friends.. or both.. so instead of buying me a drink next time donate to the fund.

wicked...

i was told to get the numarks to pauly by the guy at the shop i got them from " same as the techs practically".. my ass, so uncomfy

the pio's look good to... only thing im worried about is i play around with my headfones alot.. eg i like to have both ears cup mainly.. but then sometimes i monitor mix.. then im chucking them on quickly n that when i do mashups etc.. so want something that wont go snap

having smaller ear cups... do the 25s have ne trouble blocking out noise ??

also... does anyone know some prices for these that i could pick up in adel?

i can get the techs for about 200 aus, but then need to ship over... 25s around 250 then with shipping

but if someone has a pair of headphones for 8 yrs.. i guess they must b the way to go

the cups on the SPs swivel and twist the fuck out of the cord. very annoying. also they only has one bit going over your head where as the 25s have a big one that can be split into two which is a bit more comfortable

never had an issue with headphone headache

the cups are fairly well padded to help dampen outside noise

I love em, i find the DH25's hurt my head after an hour or so with them on,, these have been fine so far, havent really stress tested em yet too much though, only had them 2 weeks.

Sounds is excellent. only thing im not sure about is how long the part that clicks and locks how long each arm is, how long they'll stay "tight" and not slip, my friends got the model below and they are a little loose, but there kinda old now..

Psh, you pansies aren't HARDCORE™ enough!

I still use my 20 year old headphones - they have been thrown around, beaten, had beer spilt on them and pretty much anything else you can imagine and the sound that comes out of them is still awesome.
