rdj headphones

what headphones is richard using in all the rare photos?

special headphones that enable one to make awesome music like he does

industry secret

Sony something or others, I can't recall the model number and WATMM search blows. Suffice to say, they are no longer in production and are near impossible to find used. I seem to recall that model being particularly coveted by audio enthusiasts.

*i want it

 

Sony CD-1700, I checked them out myself. They were hanging off his backpack, and when I was having him sign my SAW 85-92, I asked him, Richard wasn't sure what model, so I grabbed them up and looked. :shade: They look like the ones he's been using for about 10 years now...

Thanks, I knew it had CD in it and was over 1000 but that shit is impossible to search for properly!

that sure is a Fashionable Headpiece

I've had the pleasure of owning the MDR-CD1700 for many months now, and it has been a great purchase.

 

I have to admit I had never been interested in Sony headphones, but after hearing all the raves on this board I wanted to try them out. I had been looking for a closed headphone for listening at computer, so I needed something that would be comfortable, and with a non-fatiguing sound.

 

First off, they are extremely comfortable. The headband is self-adjusting, and I can wear them for hours without discomfort. They are very large though, a good bit bigger than my DT 880s. I couldn't imagine the looks you'd get in a public setting wearing these, but they're so great it's almost worth it

 

Depending on what you're looking for, the sound can either please or displease. If you're looking for a very accurate and dynamic signature, these aren't the headphones for you. They have a very warm and pleasing mid-range, with a very full-bodied sound. They do not sound honky at all, but have a smooth transition to the high frequencies. The highs do roll off pretty quickly, and this can definitely mask detail. This can also cause them to sound soft. The bass is decently controlled, but never sounds overbearing or weak. The soundstage is very good for a closed headphone, and is overall pretty satisfying. Isolation is decent, and from what I've heard they don't really leak much, if any, sound.

 

You might have read that they are "groovalizers" in that they make almost all music very pleasing and "groovy" to listen to. This is a pretty accurate statement, and I love it about them. I would never use these for analytical listening, but they are the perfect headphone to kick back and enjoy music with.

 

I hope this helps out, they really are great headphones.

how much money are the sony's ?, i can't find the price on the internet

they look black and silver to me

Regardless what headphones u have for djing, u really need to spend at least a 70 - 100 english pounds on some good quality closed back cans.

About £90 I would say, but there's better 'phones for the price anyway.

I didn't know those things could get that small :/

 

(In before "That's what she said")

it's a regular size laptop really

he just has huge hands (from expert knob twiddling)

twiddling takes a toll on your hands, mind you

or he has an enormous dick

that is also a possible, but let us not jump to hasty conclusions, although it is indeed believable

idm peen size directly correlates with headphone size.

i love watmm

obviously i want to write like aphex, give me the phones yo

Most people don't realise that which headphones you choose depnds on which period of RDJ's music you want to emulate. These Sonys are overhyped, as they're only good for making smojphace (not including run the place red). If you want to make Windowlicker you need Bose, Richard D James requires some £10 Sennheiser earbuds, and Drukqs is two paper cups on some tied-together pieces of string

does anyone know what make of marker pen he used on the back of the ICBYD sleeve
