    Zomo HD-1200 best bang for the buck.
    If they are not available near you best Pioneer, Reloop or Numark you can afford.

    Any advices?

    I have the Behringers that you mentiioned. I dont really have anything to compare them to since I’m kinda new in the game as well. They do work for me. They are primarily plastic. So, they may not be the most durable. As for sound. I’m just using them for cueing. Perhaps I need to hear the professional phones in order to give a better opinion.

    I am not a big headphone expert, but I use the Numark Red Waves, which IMO have been worth every penny. They are a lot of plastic though, so I am quite careful with them. They look cool too. I couldn’t decide between these and the Zomo ones, but they seem very similar.

    I own the Pioneer HDJ 500 and would recommend them. Just over 100 dollars, not to big and great quality. Perfect for beginners.

    behringer hpx2000 is a good choice. I own a pair, which I owned them for a year and havent really had any issues.

    Well I hugely dislike the sound quality of the Behringers, but to each their own. If it works for you then by all means go for it.
    You can mail order the Zomo to croatia from their webpage and pay via paypal. Shipping seems reasonable.

    Thx all on advices and your personal thought about headphones. I bought pair of Behringers coz I didn’t have much money to spend atm(didn’t have any working headphones for 2 weeks so I was in a hurry to buy new ones :D) and I am very satisfied on first touch.

    Well, to show that spending more money doesn’t necessarily mean a better product:

    Aiaiai TMA-1, only few months old, always treated them well, only used em for DJing at home or mellow house parties. Headband just snapped during practice. Gonna take em back to the store tomorrow, they should replace them. But actually I’ve read about that happening on some forum. So I dunno, is buying 180€ headphones really worth it?

    I know for sure I wouldn’t buy the TMA-1 again, even though they are good headphones in general. And I really liked the concept of them being flexible without any hinges etc, but well, obv that doesn’t work out 🙁
