After umming and arring for months I finally bought some
new headphones- Sennheiser HD 25 Pros (not the SP ones).
Should come in handy for music making as well as DJing.

I can't wait for them to arrive :D

Is that good?

Yes the SP is the budget model (still very very good
though!) of the ones I'm getting.

I would of actually bought the SP version had Richer Sounds
Hi-Fi store answered the phone this afternoon...

The Pan-balance is excellent.
Download "WE - Protons". It has nothing to do with
headphones, but it's a phuqqing rokkin' D n' B/IDM Track.

Sennheisers are usually a safe bet. top quality. i've got
Sony mdr-605...they're really comfy and the sound generated
is flawless.

Hehe, don't tell anyone, but mine are from my school. I

Seriously, I am in more need of them, than some other filthy
student who listens to shit-music. ^^

Sennheiser makes a good pair of cans.

I got the Sony MDR-7506. They're proven in professional
applications, good low and midrange.

I've got sennheiser hd-497's. they're good inexpensive
headphones. nice flat frequency responce.

I chose between the Sennheiser HD25 and Koss Porta Pro when
i bought mine and I took the Koss Porta Pro. Mainly because
they're half open, and have such massive bass registers.

Grado is a great company for top notch headphones. I have
sr-125s and I love them. A better value (and many say better
sounding) when compared to comparable senns.

After using them with my PC and mixer for a couple of days
now, I've realised why people use MP3s of more than 128kbs
:)

ceri, be extra-careful with all the plastic parts in your
sennies.. they tend to break quite easy (second time the
rotating joint between the actual headphone and the arch
between has broken in the ones i use). the importer did send
a new one last time.

Yes, I'd noticed the way they were built was sturdy, but the
plastic wasn't as thick as I'd like. Fortunately the model I
have has 2 "top of head" bands so if one breaks I have a
spare ;)

how much did you pay for those...?

£100 & £17 Vat... if you order them from Finland you won't
get charged the VAT...

I bought them with my birthday money as I knew they were
something that would last and that I'd find useful.

The stereo range on them is fantastic. It's far wider than
any headphones I've used before.

Yes, every bit of the HD25s is replaceable and no
single bit costs more than £30. Really good as I don't have
to be paranoid about breaking them when they're in my record
bad.

Yeah it's tops!

Tempting to overuse it, but great in moderation. The 5
second sampler is v. useful to so long as you turn the bas
down so it doesn't distort.

I've only had the chance to use it playing out once as all
the other clubs mixers haven't had the right sort of FX loop
:)

Sennheiser cans are rinsing. But, whatever you do don't snap
the jackplug off. You cannot resolder fibre optics. Like you
can regular headphones. Please learn from My experience or
forfit an expensive mistake.

headphones by GRADO LABS are 150$+, but they give you the
sound of a 20,000$ stereo system.
