Dubman Homegrove I’m quite tempted myself seeing as my hd25’s are playing up. I can’t even remove the cable to fix them.
Heno They look similar to the Sony’s but my missus will have a stroke if another box arrived, that photon stuff like the business
Unbroken1 Heno …tbh, cool as the Phonons are, cans are one of those things that I can live with until they die/fall-apart. The Sony’s I used to use had a lifespan of around 18 months, it just so happens that the Pio’s I’ve used for flipping years now seem almost indestructible
Unbroken1 segwin …cool. How are you liking the XDJ’s? The HK headphones look smart, how are they for mixing?
segwin Unbroken1 The HK have been with me for the past several years. Before having any interest in mixing or intensive listening they were given to me as a gift. They get the job done. Might upgrade down the road considering their age. The XDJs are terrific. Feel that I made a good investment and am utilising pro-grade equipment while I practice. Much better than the Serato controller I was using previously.
Homegrove Unbroken1 me I’m thinking about getting these because the cable in the 4400 is not coiled. 😂
Unbroken1 …ah, it looks like it is. Have to say, I love the AIAIAI’s for the modularity, the ability to upgrade bits over time is genius.
Homegrove Unbroken1 Have to say, I love the AIAIAI’s for the modularity, the ability to upgrade bits over time is genius. The new ones are supposed to sound good too. A mate bought the earlier model Hawtin was using and they had a really muddy sound. The highs were terrible, all bass.
Homegrove New Phonon’s do have a detachable cable. I wonder if not including it in the earlier models was a sound quality issue or what.
Unbroken1 Amps …were you using the DJ set-up (on-ear/rugged headband) ones? I bought the comfort headband and have the soft micro-fibre over-ear pads, they are great to wear… don’t use them for DJ’ing though
Unbroken1 …I took a punt on a bundle of bits from eBay last year, upgraded the drivers and cables, and build a 2nd bluetooth pair for my boy with the spares. Use mine as my everyday ‘listening’ cans… love them.
Amps Unbroken1 I can’t remember exactly mate, I just remembered they didn’t last very long and where promptly given away. My overriding memory being that they got uncomfortable quickly. Possibly more to do with the shape of my head than anything.
segwin deathbysmurf Absolutely standalone. Had a friend that recommended the XDJ-700s but managed to find a 450 bundled with 1000s. I don’t feel that there’s anything I am missing out on outside of the physical buttons included on the CDJs.
deathbysmurf segwin Good to know. Until now I haven’t touched a CDJ since the early 2000’s, but I’m liking the 700 so far. Waiting for some Musician’s Friend points to unlock later this month so I can get a second unit, then the fun starts.
