There both really good headphones, the HD25's would be my pick as they are fantastic sound and really comfortable and versatile.Quote:

Both are damn good, but for me the HD's win everytime.
I was leaning towards the HD25s to be honest. They are so much louder & clearer than the Technics IMO, but people I know who have had the HD25s have gone back to the Technics as the HD25's didnt last them that long...
out of them id go for HD25...but i prefer the pioneers..Quote:

I'd agree on the hd25's, the good thing is if you brake them everything is replacable, where as the Technics I don't think you can, Not that you wan't to go braking a £100 + pair of headphones of cousre ;)
senheinzers rock!
the other cans are like "to big and heavy for me!" :dontevengothere:
There the best head phone ive usedQuote:

alot to do with personal preference
craig ryan brought his HD25'S around the other day and i was shocked by how small the cup actually is.
Ive always used technics lower end of the market cause i can get them £30.
im thinking of buying some new ones ths week, dont think ill go for the hd25's though, i prefer bigger cups, pioneer sound promising, but what happens when they brake????
its a tough choice i tell thee. :neutral:

all about the pioneers for me.
Sturdy as funk, and they are class.
I love the Hd25's but i think only but them if your style suits them. I constantly keep the phones on my head so they are great and really fit tight to my head. But my friend who favours the listen then let loose of the headphones and keep them around your neck, it doesnt suit.
I would say the Hd25's all the way for sound quality, but beware, your records have to be near by beacause the cord is only 2metres and non coiled.(can i sort this out?????)
the best place to buy them is www.dj-store.co.uk
they are around £140 most places but they are only £99 here with free delivery:):):)

As you say they are tight aswell and i prefer the heaphones to be more loose.
Could you recommend me any to suit my style?
I've got a gig coming up soon and i'm going to keep them for it and try them out properly, and if im still not happy get rid.

also anyone who gets pissed off with the short cable, all ya need is an extension lead, u can get em everywhere and this solves that problem.
my first year of djing i think i broke 3 or 4 sets of headphones. then i switched to technics, and they've lasted 4 years.
i also like how tight they clamp onto your head. i sometimes jump around a lot while i'm playing. i borrowed somebody's sonys one time and they fell off. i was really lucky to catch them before they crashed into the turntables. oops! :)
yeah the mdv series always fall off your head...many a time they've piled into the deck when i've been mixing... :lol:Quote:
