Max Kane Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Right have decided i need some new kit as i look to get more gigs going and generally improving my setup. My current Sony headphones have done me proud but i think i'm gona need somethin a bit more rugged and durable. Discussed this last night in trancemixers chat room and everyone seems split between the Sennheiser HD25s and the Sony MDR700's Having been very impressed with my current Sonys (and also the mdr's are £30 cheaper) i'm verging towards those at around £80. Record bags/boxes are something i haven't really looked at too much but i know i'm gona need somethin fiarly rugged and good enough to cart round my vinyl, (no cd wallets for me you sell outs ) Here is the box i've picked out thus far... http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servl...g@ND=-1@Sort=LA Any ideas or thoughts most welcome...

Aza Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Sony MDR700's I have these - v.nice headphones. Although, I aint tried the others, I dont see the point in paying too much for something these sony's do v.nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 HD 25 SP's ar wicked, 'em off ebay cheap when my MDRV-500's broke (bloodey plastic bits!). The Sony's did have better sound quality though I noticed so the 700's can only be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Right, the senn's HD 25 are very good sound quality, have used both these and the sony 700's, i would say the sound quality is the same, however the sonys are big and bulky and heavy and the senn's are nice and compact and very light - plus u can replace every single part of senns if anything was to break.... I would go with the senns as i have the HD 25 SP.. Right, my opinion, DO NOT buy a box!! I have got a box and so has my mate, when u try and carry one thats only half full u will soon regret buying it!! GET A BAG!!!!! Ive got a UDG bag, its the s***, u can pick em up for about £60 for a smallish one, in fact mine is in the sale at Chem - £60 http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servl...g@ND=-1@Sort=LA i would very strongly advise u to get a bag mate, boxes are useless!!

Bjorn Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Bags maybe more expensive but seriously a box is useless, if u have to walk more than 100m with it you're gonna be struggling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Cheers mate, are u Senns the dual band version that go for £120? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 my senns are the single headband type like jules - HD 25 SP the more expensive ones are the HD 25 which have used and was talking about in comparison to the sony 700's! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Love my Sony MDR700s I've got at the moment, after I broke my beloved MDR-605s last year :cry: Not tried the Sennheisers but am told they're very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGGZY Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Bags maybe more expensive but seriously a box is useless, if u have to walk more than 100m with it you're gonna be struggling! I have had to carry that Bast@*d box befor dont get one, nice for show but a pain when walking to and throw. You can also fit in Pioneer CDJ's and wallets in a UDG bag. Ask Bjorn more about that.

HIGGZY Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 CD Wallets^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Was looking at boxes for simple reason that they are cheaper to be honest and can fit more vinly inside them, may have to look at a bag then unless Higgzy fancies carting my box around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Kane Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I really like Sony's gear especially the headphones have had three separate pairs and none of them have failed to deliver, am hearing so much bad stuff about them though, everyone seems to love or hate, will probs go for a bag having read this thread, i'm tall enough without needing to stand on a box Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Bags are the way to go. I bought a large 75 vinyl box. By the time you get to where you are going, your arm is 2 inches longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Bags are the way to go. I bought a large 75 vinyl box. By the time you get to where you are going, your arm is 2 inches longer there u go, another example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuro Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 lol, Bjorn's with the Senn's! A lot of our views are down to loyalty I guess - if we've tried something and liked it, we stick to the make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 HD 25 SP's are good but I still reckon Sonys are better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
