Currently using a pair of SONY MDR-V500s for reference and gigging. Light, robust and fold up small.
Formerely had a pair of Citronics which were useless – they broke on both sides at the weak point where the headband joins the ear-piece. This section is metal on the Sonys.
Use Sennheiser earbuds but have lost one of the rubber ear-pieces! Doh!

When I first started I had a pair of Numark HF125’s and I bought me a set of SkullCandy Hesh cans.. Theyre pretty solid, aside from the build quality. I get decent sound from the 50mm drivers and the clarity in sound is great enough for leisure listening and not too distracting, as I find the Beats by Dre to be.. I dont think Ive been around, headphone-wise to make any recommendations yet 🙂

for listening music on the go some in ear sennheiser cx-300,for dj’ ing technics rp-dj1210,my first pair lasted 6years,now i`m on my second ones .)

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]3. Could you reccomend me any headphones? [/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]I less than three my Senny’s. I had a backup pair of Technics RPDJ-1210’s which I’d also recommend – mine got stolen on a night out 🙁 I’ve also owned Pioneer HDJ-1000’s, which were nice for using with my iPod, but broke so I wouldn’t recommend for DJing with, and Sony MDR-V500 which were kind of middle-of-the-road (but, again, broke) for all uses.

[/COLOR][/FONT]To sum up: Sennheiser HD25-1-II. You won’t be sorry.

skullcandy skullcrushers 😳 I got em for super cheap before djing would have been a consideration. They came with a 1/4 jack adapter, so hey why not. I hate the battery pack, and the cord gets tangled. But they do alright. I’m looking to upgrade, but again money is tight.

It really depends how you’ll be using them. As a beginner they’ll be fine, but they wouldn’t last long in a professional environment.

I think the main issues with the Beats if I remember correctly were isolation, sound quality and construction.

Isolation shouldnt be a problem if you’re just practicing at home, as levels there won’t be as loud as a club or even mobile set-up. As for sound quality, the woofers are designed for hi-fi listening not the flat response required for DJing (or studio mixing). But again this should be fine as you’re not using a huge club sound system on which every EQ tweak makes a difference.

My advice would be give your missus a huge kiss and thank her for the ‘phones! 😉
