I Need Head(phones)

After about 10 years of DJing, I've gone through a few pairs of cans.

The Sony MDR-V700DJ was my first pair of true DJ-style headphones. Before these, I'd never think to pay $100 for headphones. The first series was awesome and everyone was rocking them. Unfortunately, build quality has declined and now they're more infamous for breaking as soon as you take them out of the box.



After the Sonys, I tried the Technics RP-DH1200. These were a grad gift from Row and even sicker than the first series Sony. The build was solid but I was pretty reckless with these so they didn't last too long. A little more TLC and I'm sure I would still have them.




Now I have my eye on the Pioneer HDJ-2000. All magnesium build and supposedly indestructible. A little on the expensive side but I never skimp on work-related equipment. A hands-on is def mandatory for me to make my final decision.



Final decision and review will be posted. Stay tuned.
