Re: New Xone Headphones....
Just got these xones. Fking awesome headphones. All Mike Tyson punchy up on my head. Love em.
Was deciding between hd25, ultrasones, and xones. In the end, i really liked the Sennheisers, but not for djing. The Senns sounds awesome, full audio range, really clean sounding...it just came down to they just felt flimsy and i didn't care much for the smaller ear pads on them or the narrow dual headband. Ultrasones, nice sound, not enough punch for me.
Xones fit nice on my dome, steel construction, amazing isolation, and i'm going 12 rounds with a heavyweight with these things on. Pow!Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....
that is one of the top things a dj should consider when purchasing new headphones. The quality of build. I know the sony's weren't made really all that great. Mine still work, even after I've been using them since 2002. But i've got clamps on the tops of the earpieces.Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....
that's the way it should be with every company. That is but ONE of the many reasons why A&H charge more than other companies.Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....
any hi-fi company can decide to use the best and most expensive materials and make headphones that come with 10-year warranty and cost $1000 dollars. the tricky part is to engineer a product that costs the same as your competitors' products but beats them in quality and MTBF
It comes from inside, just listen ...Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....
Broke my Sony's about 4 years ago... my pioneers just got broke this last weekend, so I'm considering these... If they've got steel construction, maybe that'd keep them from breaking.
Damn pioneers broke right at the hinge before the earbud... you'd think it'd be stronger plastic.Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....
i never did like the pioneers. didn't like that tiny hole in the ear piece that all the sound had to go through. They always felt weird on my head. I like the Sony's but would love to hear the A&H's. If they are the equivalent of the xone 92, than i'll love those bitches forever.Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....
I hear ya... I was never too big on the pioneers myself. I didn't think the sound quality was all it was hyped up to be... After about two years of having them, if you touched the cord where it went into the mixer, it made a crakling sound. If you had the quarter inch adapter off of them, and I had them plugged into my mp3 player I would have to move the damn connector around where it plugged into my player... otherwise the headphones would sound all muffled.
If the A/H are even close to the quality of my xone 92, I'll love 'um too.Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....

Re: New Xone Headphones....
I can't find these damn headphones ANYWHERE!!! Every place has been out of stock since the 18th.
I've checked pssl.com, audiolines, Full Compass, guitar center, and even some of the local dealers here where I live. WTF!!?!?Comment

Re: New Xone Headphones....

Re: New Xone Headphones....
didn't know about that place. I did a google search after getting on here and found the cheapest at 199 that includes shipping. I actually thought my headphones were going out on me. Than I realized that I just needed to compress the certain sounds i was working on in the studio...DUH on me. LOL.Comment
