i previously owned (and broken) a pioneer hdj1000s - they were good while they lasted but sooner or later they will (i bet ya) BREAK on the hinge - a common problem with them

been using the hd25s for a number of years now and its solid as FXXK - nice sound nice build quality and last you long long long time - all parts are replacable so if in the future anything happens you can fix em

i've had my 1000's for a year and a half and they've been working perfect.. thanks for the tip though, i'll watch out for the hinge

[ctrld]

i'll watch out for the hinge

all headphones of this type will break at the left hinge eventually, except those few good ones with metal parts (like the audio technica)

edit: and the hd25 of course, I've never managed to break my pair.

[addictive]

and even if you break something of the HD25, you can replace everything yourself

[ctrld]

yeah, I keep a replacement cable around at all times

I love my Sennheiser....

Obviously, there's a lot of good things said about the senns HD25.

My personal +1 goes to the Xone:XD-53s. Because those are what I use and I love them.

I've had my HD25's for 12 years now, used them a college constantly in and out of mt bag, thrown around, put stupid volumes through them, replaced most of the parts along the way. I'm just replacing a driver now. Finally killed one. They are monitor headphones, not DJ headphones, but they are designed for field use, be that the sound guy of a location tv news team or a dj in a club. I hear that the HD25 MKII are supposed to be even better sound quality.

If you want something of a similar quality but built for DJing, then the Allen&Heath new ones are supposed to be amazing. But the price reflects that.

Im using the Technics rp dh 1200's, mostly because I like a big earcup, but it all comes down to personal preference if you like a smaller earcup I cant help you with that
