I bought and sold the senhiessers within a month.
Absolutely awful for DJing. Harsh , uncomfortable you name it. Horrible fucking things. I switched to Sony Mdr7506s and have never looked back. Over 20 years in fact.

    Cankles-McJeggings pretty much everyone DJs with them in Finland. I also don’t like them. I really miss my A&H Xone-headphones that got stolen. Wish they’d still make them. The Phonon’s I use now are also discontinued, but losing them too is not a high risk situation as I only use them at home. Too expensive, and delicate. I have Audio Technica ath-m50s for gigs, they’re pretty close to the Xone-headphones in terms of sound.

        My wife thinks I’m going deaf, but I get my hearing tested every year as part of my medical and it’s on the turn, but nothing to worry about. She could help my not speaking to me whilst walking away and whispering so that she feels she has an excuse to berate me for having to say everything twice. The reality is that I’m just not listening.

          The Mrs tells me I have 2 major faults.

          I don’t listen - and something else.

          I’ll check my inbox!

            Digweed, Carl Cox and Brixton Academy did me. Sides of my head were numb after leaving the club.

            Got shredded and it miraculously disappeared… until COVID.

              Surprised she’s still there. Can’t be long now.

                NasserAlazzawi The HD25s are loud, I think partially because they isolate so well, but they’re not bright by any stretch. Their frequency response is boosted around 100-200 hz and they dip around 5000-6000 hz (and get wobbly in that range).

                I found most djs I played back to back with had the monitors up too high and compensated by turning their cans up to match. That’s more likely the issue.

                    303abuser yes, I’ve found this too after taking over from people, headphones turned up to migraine because the monitors are too loud

                      I remember going b2b with another dj and couldn’t be in the booth while she was mixing because the monitor made my ears physically hurt.

                      Best advice I ever got was to turn the cans and monitor all the way down, go out to the middle of the dancefloor to get a baseline for the floor volume and how the eqs are set up, then bring the monitor volume up just loud enough to hear it, then do the same with the headphones. Once you’ve calibrated it, use the line gains to level out the individual records and you won’t be constantly pushing the volumes up and destroying your ears (and the ears of everyone in the club).
