Guest Tranceptor Posted August 11, 2001 Posted August 11, 2001 I have Sennheisers HD500 I love them, somewhat lacking in very high frequencies but I can live with it......... I have a cheezy onboard soundcard, looking to buy my brothers Soundblaster Live thing..... but I heard bad things about it. I dont have a lot of money, so maybe I'll wait, a soundcard ain't the most important thing making music Quote
Children Posted August 11, 2001 Posted August 11, 2001 I also have Sennheiser HD500. That's true, they are more bass-oriented than melodies-oriented ) But the sound is very good ! Quote
Guest CrusadeR Posted August 11, 2001 Posted August 11, 2001 Damn u ) I would love to have HD600 ).. Anyway.. for the price of 50$ there are no better headphones tha AKG 55.. anyway.. Soundblaster Live... is quite good for the price, but of course.. Event Gina is the right choice .. Quote
Guest Tranceptor Posted August 11, 2001 Posted August 11, 2001 Buy Grado headphones, they are the best. A friend of mine has em, the design isn't that great for your ears but the sound is beautiful..... Quote
Guest hujaboy Posted August 12, 2001 Posted August 12, 2001 I have technics headphones and creamware power sampler card. Quote
Guest Mahoney Posted August 12, 2001 Posted August 12, 2001 I have Sennheiser 455,,, they sound really good,, but they aren´t really comfortable =/ Quote
Guest Inukko Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 I use two pairs: Sennheiser HD570 (for my DJ mixer) and the Sony MDR "Professionals" (for my pro mixer). The HD's sound great, they do "color" the sound more (at least to my ears), but for non-monitoring purposes they're great. Be prepared to spend around $180 for a pair, though... Quote
DeathPosture Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 I have Philips SBC HP910 ... http://philips.com.pk/hp910.htm Really comfortable and has amazing sound... Highly recommended as an alternative to Sennheiser... I got my Philips for free as part of a test-program to see wheter they should be sold in the store where I work... We also sell Sennheiser and I can also recommend them.... From HD400 and up! http://www.sennheiser.com/headphones/dynam...ic/dh_1c001.htm All of the above is of course for listening purposes... If you need them for DJing these are not recommended... Boms! DeathPosture Quote
DeathPosture Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Btw... for the MOTHER of all headphones check this link... http://www.sennheiser.com/headphones/elect...ic/eh_1d002.htm Imagine listening to Shpongle in those... I'd wet myself! *s* Boms! DeathPosture Quote
Guest Omena Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 I love my HD500's sound, and they are soooo comfortable, for those who aren't satisfied with their sound, read: http://www.headwize.com/projects/mill1_prj.htm Quote
Guest vasyachkin Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 still, its better to have good speakers than good headphones that is one of the reasons (besides cost) why i did not buy electrostatic headphones. cuz even a perfect Headphone is not the same as a pair of speakers. but if you gotta go with phones, go with electrostatics. Electrostatics inherently have much more linear frequency response AND much lower distortion than ANY electrodynamic (regular) headphones the most "affordable" electrostatics are about 800 dollars, it would be either "Stax Basic 2" or "Koss ESP 950" Quote
Guest MK Posted August 15, 2001 Posted August 15, 2001 Grados - hands down the best headphones - especially for Trance/Techno the bass is very defined and the highs and mids r all there. I bought the 320s and the 80s - i highly recommend them Quote
Guest Tranceptor Posted August 15, 2001 Posted August 15, 2001 I should have bought them, but the musicshop here didn't have them. They are hard to come by in Holland it seems. Well about that speaker-thing, speakers are much more expensive. Good speakers comparable to very good headphones will cost you 1000$, while you can get good headphones for 4/500 $ Quote
Guest OA Posted August 15, 2001 Posted August 15, 2001 i have sennheiser hd570s and some sonys for DJing Quote
Guest vasyachkin Posted August 15, 2001 Posted August 15, 2001 true about speaker cost, that is the downside. but the point i was getting at was that you need good speakers anyway, even if you already have good headphones by the way i have Technics RP-F20 for headphones, they have beautiful bass, but treble is badly exaggerated Quote
Guest Tranceptor Posted August 16, 2001 Posted August 16, 2001 Yeah I must agree good speakerset is a must. But as I'm a student who's not sponsored by mom and dad that much....... I just can't afford equipment of any sort, hoping to buy a midi-keyboard soon tho... Quote
Guest hogus Posted August 21, 2001 Posted August 21, 2001 I've been using Stanton DJ1000's and they've been pretty good for both Dj'ing and as monitors. They cost me about R400 which is less than $50, Cover the ear comfortably (I can DJ for hours in them) and I'm very happy with the sound quality. Quote
Guest Jonas Josefsson Posted August 26, 2001 Posted August 26, 2001 I have Sennheiser HD490. Really brilliant sound for the money. I have a M-Audio AudioPhile 2496 soundcard... Quote
Guest vax Posted August 31, 2001 Posted August 31, 2001 sennheiser, phillips, shmilips.. guys, it is for LISTENING! -))) If ya wanna TRUE headphones, try Beyer Dynamics. IMHO -) BABAZ! Quote
