Another warning.... don't buy those nifty Pioneer
DJ headphones.... they're really comfy, but they
have no bass.... and overall the sound quality
sucks. It's a shame because they're designed well,
just sound awful and aren't worth the price ($150).
I've been using a pair of Sony MDR-7506's for the
last four months and love them to bits. Really
sharp sound quality with clean bass, but not
intrusive overwhelming bass like the Sennheisers
I tried.... much better than the Technics, Numark,
and especially those awful American DJ Superbass
headphones I tried (they shake). I was very
reluctant to buy Sony's, but after trying over
20 different pairs, I favored them the best.
Never tried the Grado's, but I'm not sure how good
they'd be for DJing.....
