New Headphones?
9 years ago
I'll keep on making those new mistakes.
Hey folks,
So I was planning on buying some new headphones to DJ with. I've had my SHURE SRH550DJ headphones since 2011 and all though they are nice, they aren't over-ear or noise-cancelling, and the cable is wonky. If the cable near the plug bends the wrong way it cuts the left, right, or both channels.
In lieu of possibly performing at MFF in December, and just plain wanting a new set of headphones in general, I am initially looking at those AudioTechnica headphones that Sol, Raverfox, and most of my friends have. They retail for about $249 everywhere.
With that as a budget I am sure that I could get something just as good, or better, for the same price. Ones that might fit my ears better, sound better, etc etc. Sony, Sennheiser, etc.
I don't know a lot about headphones so I'd really like some advice. $250 is my budget, though I am willing to budge plus or minus that to get something good. I mean, I got 5 years out of my decent, $99 pair of SHURE phones. I'm sure I'll get 5-10 out of a good, well built pair of phones from a better company.
Ideas? Opinions?

Sol Republic are good but probably the bottom for DJ quality if the three. AudioTechnica and Sennheiser i have nothing but praise for tho i personally prefer the depth of sound my "home theater" Sennheisers put out
Even on sale these are the same price as the AudioTechnica phones - http://www.easthamiltonradio.on.ca/.....nnheiser-HD558
