wot do u suggest to buy
hard to say, the ones we used where dt770's and dt880's, both sounded great and felt great to wear too, nothing worse than headphones that hurt your ears
Any Beyer in the £70 and up price range.
nice one.cheers
Can`t go wrong with these for dance music production though

hd25`s suck ass
I've got the beyerdynamic dt 880's (semi-open as opposed to the 770's being closed)
And they are sweet.
hd25's are good for dj'ing and that's about it
Yeah those 880`s are sweeetQuote:

that`s why you rarely see them in studios.
beyer all the way baby.
yes agree with the beyer choice i upgraded from my hd25 last year to these. Good to have both to reference each other to but the beyer are much more ocmfy over longer periods and have a better sound.
received heads 2day. i lov em already. thnx a lot for that guys
after reading all this, i checked out the spec and i've just bought the beyerdynamic dt880's too! can't wait to check em out. thanks also everyone!!!
Im gonna get myself a pair of these too...whats the pricetag? the 880s that is
i got dt770 for 85punds(thats including postage),from dolphin music-never had any probs with them.got few items from them : speakers,headphones,sound cards etc.
wouldnt swap my dt770's for anything, lovely :)Quote:

what, the 770s? not in my opinion but i wouldnt really have much to compare them to , good build quality i thinkQuote:

Definitely not a fault of the build quality, but more my own :)
well i am sat here listening to the 880's for the very first time and i'm pretty damn godsmaked. i can't believe i've been mixing off the hd25's for my whole life - my god i've been missing out BIG TIME!!! these phones are lovely, they don't rest on your ears like the 25's and the sound is, well, lovely. they're definitely not flimsy and i really like the way you can hear a conversation with them on, this will be very very helpful to me and chrissi together in the studio.
thanks to all concerned! i will update you as the months go on!
haha.i experienced a same shock. i dont know if i will ever use hd25's for production again. maybe only to campare stuff
can someone compare the 770 & 880 please
Main difference is closed back (770) vs semi-open (880.
I'm sure the actual response varies a bit as well..
they make AKG and SennHeiser look like baby toys.Quote:

well i would think mate that the more expensive usually means better as far as this sort of shit goes. i cant' comment on the 770's but after 2 days solid mixing on these beauty's i can say that you're gonna be a very very happy guy if you save your pennys.
if anything after 2 days, i would say i wish the top was a little more defined. it's good but it's not quite as good as my mackie speakers, but then again when are you honestly gonna get headphones as good a speakers hehe....
these shit all over my former headphones. i can believe it. i really can't honestly get over the difference.
making music without pissing off the neighbours has never been more pleasurable. :laughing::cheese:
If they lasted longer the Pioneer HDj-1000's aren;t too bad....but if you buyt hem get the extended warranty cause they like to short out on the right side.
Otherwise ignore me and do what Mark tells you to do...
not necessarilyQuote:

Would y'all have a preferred make of headphones for djing as opposed to studio work? If so - which? Or would a good quality pair be suitable for both?
the 3630 is shit, technically (cheap parts etc.). can be modded. doesn't mean it doesn't have its uses, though.Quote:

Got the 80ohm model instead though. It was all they had in stock, and my shitty mini mixer isn't powerful enought to do the 250 model anyways
Im rocking the 770's as well very happy so far.
I love my 770's ive heard the 880s as well, the 880's are definately better no question but for 85 quid you really cant go wrong with the 770s.
they're VERY comfortable and really do make writing music queitly a pleasure. I also notice that if i write something on the 770s it sounds about right when coming back onto speakers.
best headphones EVER full stop...
and watching a film with them on is ACE!
