I am a working musician first, a newbie but passionate home recording enthusiast second and a DJ third. I need new headphones for my DJ'ing, and I have been looking at the sennheiser HD600's. They are pretty pricy, but I imagine they would also be good for those 4am mixing sessions when my monitors are not an option ?

By mixing I mean mixing my own recordings.

Anybody got any experience of these phones ? I want to never have to buy another pair, and I've seen them for $289 on ebay.

good headphones to try:

AKG natural sounding
Sony m7509 sound great

try them. You need not spend 300$ for keepers
150-200 will do it.
 
AKG's are the way to go (check out the K240M's @ 99.00)

Why spend 300.00 on a pair of headphones,when that money can be used for a pair of excellent monitors!

Cans you say. CANS, CANS, CANS?

The Beyer 770 cans are high quality cans. Although, they may not be the very best, they are very good.

I'm currently awaiting a wireless set of 900 mgz cans to use for vocalists -- made by JVC which I think is Sony's hidden store.

I have a pair of wireless cans by Koss but they are not real quality but I've used them with vocalists who like to be wire free.

Also, I'll be able to sit outside of my digs and listen to stuff that I do with the JVC wireless cans.

Try a set of Beyer 770's; you'll dig them

Do a search; please, please people do your searches before asking. There are so many threads on this forum concerning this. Sure there are always new products but there are so many threads very recently and far back.

Oh yeah, you'll save self time as well.
 
PapillonIrl,
Hey, didn't see you were so new to this site. Just to say it can be a good idea to search the forum first (as long as the words your searching for are over four letters (yes; headphones and sennheiser both are)). You'll catch on.

You'll also catch on, on how to write two posts one after the other and boost your total; what a sad world we live in; or is that just mine...................
 
Okiedokie...

Search it is...

thanks for the comments folks.

on/off the topic

you might also want to check out the tinnitus threads. Keep the volume low on those headphones, they are harder on your ears then speakers.

I just learned that Yorkville puts out three types of cans. The top of the line set, HP90's go for less than 50 dollars. If the Yorkville cans match the quality of the YSM=1 speakers, you might want to give them a look.

I might just buy a pair for the heck of it but I still use the Beyer 770s.

Screw everything else and get the MDR-7506s. Best isolation and best sound quality in that price range i think.
 
I agree with the above post... Sony MDR7506 are the best of the bunch.
 
I looked at my favorite pair of Sony cans. They are not the black MDR7506s as previously mentioned, they are like 7900 or something like that. They have brown ear muffs and the metal is a kind of gold/bronze color.

I have two pairs of MDRs as well. All the Sony cans sound good, they all have about the same sonic character, bassy low end and a little more treble. They sound great, for my use in the studio they work great because they Isolate very well.

If I am just listening to music its a toss up between the brown/gold sonys and the AKG240DF which are right here beside me today. They are not as good for studio though as they are designed to let alot through. Could work for singing but not for smacking down time to a click or a guitar track whilst playing drums.
