I am also looking for a nice set of headphones, so anything you tell Yek will be of use to me.

Jus sayin'

i'm thinking i'll go for the pretty standard sony mdr-v700 for about 100 bucks

this has been posted before, but yeah, I own AKG K701s, they are about 250 new on ebay. Sennheiser is also fairly renowned for quality, especially their upper tier cans.

check this forum though, very informative for this type of stuff: http://www.head-fi.org/

For djing the only specific things your really need to look for are sound isolation and bass response. I use a set of sennheiser hd 212pro's. Decent but after a while they hurt my ears, not the drum but like the actual ear (though I think this is due to me having big ears)

just make sure they are closed. my sennheiser 280 pro's are good, but i can't really listen to just one earcup which i would like to be able to. not very bendable.

Yes, bendability is also a prime and key factor of in choosing das headingphones.

bendability

flexibility works too

Sennheiser HD25. Indestructible and the best headphones I have ever used for DJing with. Mine are seven years old and still going strong. One great feature is that everything is replaceable, you can buy new foam bits, new cables etc for them (I've replaced the foam ear padding bits on mine).

yup,sennheiser hd251 II

so which senny's.. the cheaper or the larger.

i'm sure the larger would last longer, and yeah 7 years that would be great

yeah i'm going with the technics. good reviews, obvious great brand, and i can get them for a good deal

sennheiser hd-25 II are the industry-standard as a simple matter of fact that simply 90% of pro-dj nowadays in all genres from house to dubstep are using it.

i enjoy mine and i've been trough a lot of cans before from sony to akgs.... unbeatable and worth the price.end of thread.

I just ordered some of these. they're pretty! that site is out of stock but you can get them anywhere for about $160.
