Norfolk DJ 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 The only cheap item of equipment I have are my headphones, which are now 10 years old and cost me a fiver. Link to post Share on other sites
Mattaious 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I always buy cheap headphones, Only reason is they get battered around in the box i keep them in, Wouldnt spend a fortune on headphones, If i did though and they broke or got damaged id be gutted. Infact i still have the old "phone" in me box, Sometimes use it for a nostalgic evening Link to post Share on other sites
Dream Catchers 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I use a set of either Kam or Numark phones, dirt cheap and no problems with them. Jim Link to post Share on other sites

cmj 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Senny HD25's. Been everywhere with me for the past 2 years, dropped, stood on, abroad, drink spilt on them, no probs at all, plus all the bits are user replacable if required. Link to post Share on other sites

cookiecat 0 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Yes I used to have one of those, it was great. Ahh the good old days,mine was a green "trimphone" type.

Dream Catchers 0 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) I don't know if I'm missing a point somewhere, but why pay £100-150 for a pair of headphones for DJ use? The purpose of our headphones are for cueing tracks, a £10 pair do the same job. They don't need to have the most precise harmonic response, after all the fact that your rig is belting out 2k of bass will mean that the ambient noise will overwhelm the extra little bit of frequency that they replicate. The fact that some people use or used 'telephone' handsets shows you dont need quality. Jim Edited October 17, 2007 by JimBoylan Link to post Share on other sites

expresbro 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well I'm looking to pick up a set of headphones now.. So do I splash out and buy the sennheisers or go budget (which financially speaking is more realistic at the moment). If I go the budget route..is there a half decent budget set that someone can recommend that will do me for the first few months or so ? Link to post Share on other sites
C.S 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 i mix so i need good headphones, used sony for years but they tend to fall apart after about a year, at the moment i have stantons and they seem very good but so they should be at 180 squids.

DJGAVT 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Just go straight for a pair of more expensive ones. It will save you money in the long run (wish I had done many years ago). I have been using sony MDR-V700's for just over a year now and can not fault them. Link to post Share on other sites

P.I.J. Roadshow 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Cannot fault HD 25's. I had the same dilemma bout 18 months ago and took other people advice on here and went for the senny's. I agree that not everyone is willing to fork out such money for headphones, but I see it as an investment. Even got the nice little carry bag to protect them with mine for £125. I see the mark II's are out now. I would 100% recommend these headphones Always borrow money off a pessimist as they never expect it back Link to post Share on other sites
