Good headphones for mixing

Post by Muncey » Sun Nov 20, 2011 5:09 pm

Before i get abused for a topic which there are loads of, let me explain. Ive spent ages reading topics/other websites with reviews but still not found any good information really. A lot of the topics on here are good headphones in general, in which people are recommending Dres headphones (far too much bass for mixing imo and way too expensive).. other topics are for production and i have no idea about production so i can't be sure highly recommended headphones for that are also good for mixing.

I've read plenty of reviews and 'top headphones for djing' ect but i can never be too sure if its a reliable source or not. I don't want to spend over £100 so really decent headphones for less than that would be perfect!

I use Sennheiser HD-25s and they are hands down the best headphones I've ever used. Great for mixing and production alike.

I have a pioneer hd-j and 500 is by far my best investment! It's comfortable, it has a crystal-clear sound and doing very well in the low without denaturalized the sound, and you can rotate the right side for more comfortableness!

A real gem!

My advice is to choose one of these based on what you will be using them for:

Sennheisers HD-25s: Dedicated DJ headphones, clamp on your head tightly, loud treble.

AiAiAi TMA-1s: DJ headphones that can also be used for casual listening, looser fit, recessed treble.

May seem like a stupid question but are the adidas originals Sennheiser HD25 the exact same as the normal HD25 apart from design and obvious price increase? I don't know why but i haven't seen any headphones that i like the look of apart from these. These are one of the few i've seen where i actually like how they look and would be willing to pay the extra.. i know its highly unlikely but i wouldn't be surprised if they lose some of their performance due to design improvement, the market tends to abuse morons who just buy them because its an adidas product. Just double checking before i break the bank!

I don't know for sure, but I'm almost positive that they're no different.
