Should I get new headphones? Which ones?

I don’t know about the other headphones but I have the Numark Redwave and I think it’s great. It fits perfectly and it closes out all outside noise. I once had a gig at a bar where one of the speakers was right above the DJ table, the audio was extremely loud but my redwave still managed to cancel out the sound also because it can go very loud.

For me personally Sennheiser. I haven’t tried the Aiaiai TMA-1’s but everyone seems to be going on about them. Except they don’t have rotating hinges which is a deal breaker for me. Regardless, they weren’t one of the options above. I still say out of those the Pioneers for sure. They will smoke the red waves in every department.

I propose another model, which is in the same price league as the Pioneer: Technics RP DJ 1200 (A). IMO they sound much better than all of the models in the OP, plus (although I can’t comment on that from personal experience, only having tried them out at the store) you hear great things about their reliability and durability. Something you can’t say about the Pioneers.

These are good, solid headphones which I gigged with for a few years but for your price range I would say the Pioneers still. Pioneer had looked at and addressed their problems with durability (as far as we can tell so far). Pioneer have come a long way with their headphones.

Phil loved those in the test, and there are a lot of users swarming around feeling the same.

yeah the AKG’S need burn in to sound their best……as i said they sound a helluva lot better than the technics rp-dh1200’s
