My advise is, DO NOT buy headphones on Ebay, 90% of them are fakes.

Forget you standard headphones. Get a pair of IEM's. M-Audio do a great pair called IE-10's. Less than 100 and are far better for db reduction than the standard headphones.

Depends who you buy the headphones from, as with anything on ebay ... I dont agree that 90% are fake ... sorry thats garbage.

I bought mine from a reputable US ebay store knowing they were sony refurbished, and carried an international warranty, not to mention less than half the price you'd pay here (thankfully wasn't stung by customs on them).

Pioneer HDJ 1000 if you can stretch your budget a small bit, have a set 4 years now and don’t regret getting them, avoid EBay models unless you are 100% sure of the seller, i.e. UK shop, as most are fakes. This subject was a topic on a recent post.

Well i bought 2 pairs and both were fake, got a refund anyway but that s just not what i wanted. I wanted proper, real headphone at the 1st buy...and Ebay just did not do that for me, hence my comment!

The Stanton DJ Pro 2000 is definitly the best in the price range up to a 100 euro's

The technics RP-DH 1200s are brilliant and only €111 off thomann.de, nearly as good as the Sennheiser HD-25 and much cheaper!

I'll counter that claim (:P) and say go for a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pros. I have my 3rd pair in 6 years, they can take some amount of abuse, and are very good on noise reduction for being within budget. Didn't like the Sony's.

A friend of mine bought a DAC-2 from the states, it cost about €200 but never paid any customs duty, another mate got one of those iPhone clones for €100 and had to pay €25 duty! crazy! :P

Errrr Isn't that a contradiction ? Lots of guys have v6's and other phones (HD25's, DT100's etc) for over a decade and just replace the earpads or cables... what decided to give up on your 280's that you didn't replace the parts?

Mostly just the headband cracking under the twisting and turning. Each have been used minimum 5 nights a week during each of their lives (minimum of 260 nights of year, average of 290 a year). The culprit actually was the part of the plastic housing on the headband that you push/pull the extended bit in/out of. I still have the 2 "bad" pairs I've gone through, use them for home/travel use, just have the headband wrapped in black electrical tape to keep it together.

I've had HD25s and the sound is excellent but I replaced them with a set of Sony MDRV500's recently and I think they do a better job at blocking out background sound, which is really what you need in a club setting. Having great sound quality is shag all good if you can't hear your cue point over the bass bin
