Then, you'll like the HS25's. I have been using them for many years and
love them. They're definitely less bassy and more true (to my ears) than
many others. Anyway, good luck!

Yeah, I have the HD25SP. Haven't ever used the other HD's though...so
couldn't tell ya about how they compare to those. Other similar headsets
would be the Sony-7506. Those are pretty popular headphones as well. For
DJ use, I usually recommend the AKG-240M. Have you tried those?

A lot of DJ's (at least that I'vet met) like the semi-open design, as it
allows for more bass. In my experience in pro audio retail though, Dj's buy
the KM240s like they're water. I'm not a DJ, so I can't say one way or
another. To each his own.

Maybe you would the AKG-K271 better? They're a closed design. Have you
thought about looking into headphones by actual DJ gear manufacturers? Like
maybe, NumarK? They have a model with only 1 side too...the D100 or
something like that. Anyway, best of luck...let us know what ends up
working for you.
