    Guess I should throw the Ultrasone DJ1 Pros in there? Need to read more review on these.

    I have only used the Reloop but they’re wide so if your neck is short, they won’t be so comfortable.

    I would suggest that you take a close look at the Shure range of HP.
    There are a few, all meeting your spec, high quality in build and sound.
    I think it is much HP for the money compared to many others.

    Thanks I’m looking at the shure srh750 also

    Update as my search continues…

    I bought the Pioneer HDJ 2000. On the plus side these feel great. Super soft, really comfortable and they look great. One note, they are not all metal like I thought they were. There’s some plastic which makes me worry about longevity especially without a hard case which should be included at this price.

    I used them at my gig on saturday night for 4 hours. Very light, no neck strain. Spent most of the time with the band over my head with one ear cup on and one off. They were a little too small for my preferred position around my neck using one shoulder to push up to my ear. I really had the stretch to get there and it was not comfortable.

    Isolation was good. Not great. My real problem was the bass. I have older ears and I kept turning up the volume as the club filled up and it got noisy. I guess in the end I thought they were pretty awesome but not worth the price premium, so they are going back. I’m going to try the Ultrasones or the Reloops next.

    I got the HDJ2000 for an amazing deal of 150 bucks and i am totally impressed. Good flat response with enough bass.
    i upgraded from the HDJ1000 and totally would recommend the 2k’s. The only problem is their price point. I dont think i would spend 350 for them but for what i got them for i am super happy

    I must put a warning here!

    Pioneer is not very good in makinng headphones IMO!

    The HDJ2000 is NOT a good choice IMO.
    My friend bought a pair that last for about two month.
    He did get a new pair on warranty that lasted for about three month.
    Then he got the money back!
    Another friend also had his HDJ2000 broken withing three month.

    It seems like the HDJ2000 is not much better than the HDJ1000
    That I think most people know is very low quality!

    you say the HDJ2000 broke? where abouts did they break? I have a hard time believing that they broke without mistreatment. As far as i know the only 2 headphones with a metal construction are the HDJ2000 and the Beats pro…and we all know the beats pro are not DJ headphones…too much bass and ZERO credibility wearing them.

    You say that the HDJ1000 were low quality yet when they were new they were considered one of the best DJ headphones on the market and are still rocked by some huge names today, the biggest gripe on the HDJ1000 was the swivel joint which was replaced by the HDJ2000 metal design.

    Headphones are a total personal preference to some extent. Personally i find a flat response is optimal for proper monitoring. I have heard amazing things about the DJ1 pros but have never had personal experience with them. IMO if you are going for the shoulder stance and want a headphone to last then the HDJ2000 is the best pick due to the metal construction.

    The fact is that Pioneer has low quality on their headphons.
    Hugh names using Pioneer headphones does not make the headphones better quality as those guys get paid for using them!
    And HDJ1000 has as I know never been considered one of the best headphones on the market!

    Just a bunch of things taken from the air by you!
