I have the M50x, I like it, it's very bassy, but the other frequencies are good. I have heard the HD25, sounds better than the M50x, but not by much. The build quality of the M50x seems better to me. The fit of the M50x is more comfortable and secure to me. Also, all those headphones have removable cables.

In summary, "8 out of 10 for all"... bruh

HD 25 all the way. i used pioneer ones. and my head started hurting from the heavyness of headphones plus super loud bass! not only listening music at home but also club when u have to crank it up;( HD 25 has best quality sound on the market. its lightweight super durable and ears never hurt listening music and clubs when u crank up that level on mixer))

One of the best, unbiased, reviews about DJ headphones I've seen on KZfaq. I have HD 25, for the last 4 years, and these are fantastic headphones! Unfortunately they are brakable (as it happen to me by my mistake of course, otherwise they last a long time), but all parts are availalbe. Only recently I decided to get something that cover my ears as I only mix with headphones and comfort is something that matters after a long time behind the decks.

Great review and honesty 👊🏽

M50x all the way for video/sound editing.They never brake, sound the same after 11 years, hard to beat :)

Great review! My headphones HDJ-X7 made it to the 2nd place, according to your honest and awesome review!👍

i give this video 8 out of 10

Excellent intro! It's more about ear protection and sound quality,. and finally some personal critique on the ATH50, with their legendary soundstage i believe you have already damaged your ears my friend if you experience the bass being "muddy" because its really crystal clear with very well balanced mids and highs. Compare the frequency responses and look at the numbers, they dont lie. Or perhaps you should invest in better quality file format for your tracks ;)

The HD-25 is extremely uncomfortable for me. Out of this list I found the ATH-50x best for DJing. For music production nothing on this list works well.

Different styles and type of Mixing video plz

I've got the hd25 aluminium ones and they are bomb proof mine still look brand new like bought yesterday ...

In my opinion, rating headphones or even speakers on how they sound is very subjective. Just like saying that house is shit, or trance, or happy hardcore. It all comes down to personal preference. I wish I had the option to listen to all with my kind of music before I buy them.

HD25 all the way !!! I have 3 pairs. 1 pair of the plastic ones which are my back up pair and also the first pair I bought 8 years ago, 1 pair of the HD25 aluminium for home use and a pair of Amperiors that I have modified by changing the drivers to 70 ohm drivers and steel cable from a set of regular HD 25s I’ve also removed some but not all of the sound deadening material from inside the ear cups to open them up internally and fitted a set of Yaxi type B ear pads these are the pair that I use for gigs and my favourite for comfort & sound. Ive flog them every weekend for years now and they never let me down.

I'm in the market for a new pair to replace my A&H XD53's. Sound and build wise they are as good as the day I bought them. The only minor issue is cosmetic as the faux leather headband has started peeling, apart from that they are flawless. But although I have small ears they do not fit inside fully with ease, not good considering they were advertised as circumaural, and then when on the inner speaker adds pressure to the ear causing discomfort even after an hour or so, as the depth of the cup is shallow. Without being able to physically try on a pair, can anyone recommend decent over the ear (circumaural) cans that are comfortable and won't break the bank? I can get a pair of the Pioneer HDJ X5 for £69 new and delivered, worth a punt?

i have sennheiser HA-25 adidas version. And its amazing.

How about the Sennheiser HD series? like HD 280 Pro and Technics headphones?

Any chance for a similar comparison between affordable dj monitors?

Could you review the denon HP1100 i used the older model for 12 years and it rocked in comparisson to the others.

Damn, this is the first person I've seen bash the m50s like that

As A Owner Of The Pioneer Dj HDJ-X7 -k Series being Its The Successor To The Classic Pioneer Dj HDJ 2000Mk2 With New Developed 50mm Drivers They're truly Great for the price & Honestly These Headphones Really Do Benefit Form A Break In Period Save Your Self The Money get the X-7's & upgrade more vital Dj Gear Like Your Speakers Or Turntables/ Dj Controller Or new Laptop is a better investment . Remember Have Fun & Enjoy :)

Audio Technica are excellent, also have removable cables.

Never understood the hd25 hype, I have them and they're good for very small venues (bars, house parties) but at an actual club there's no sound isolation or bass. The high end pioneer and aiaiai's are the best i've ever used.

is the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro a good headphone for DJing, my dad bought it for me for music production but is this also great for DJing

Thanks a lot for your video !!!

i smell dutch! thanks voor de video mannen ben voor de sennheiser gegaan!

I have both the HDJ- X7 & x10 and i can confirm they BOTH have a detachable cable! So i'm not sure why you said there were only 2 headphones who have detachable cables?

DJ School Amsterdam, Sennheiser has a few other dj headphones that may be suitable for most disc jockeys such as the HD 8 DJ model. Also keep an eye out for AIAIAI Modular versions and Ultrasone's models.👍

A lot of friends into Sound have the M50X, I tried them! It does sound good! A little heavy for my liking, although the build quality seems fine! I have heard the ears can get hot after a while! Second pair of HD 25 in 15 years! Love them! Much Lighter! It sounds better to me (Maybe I am just used to them), I also really like the fact that they are stealthy! Especially when you like going everywhere with them! They are made of plastic but they are pretty durable if you handle them with care! It is true that sometimes they can feel a little tight on the ears after a while! It's good to take a break anyway! ;) So, HD 25 all the way for me! IT's a sound thing really for me! Enjoy the Journey!

Love my hd25s, one of the best products ive ever bought.

Jammer dat er niet 1 of 2 setjes in ears worden meegenomen in de test.

Anybody know if the Pioneer's fit completely over the ears? And, are they too tight / cause fatigue d/t too tight? And any opinions about the Pioneer HDJ-X 7 or 10 versus say Beyerdynamic DT 700/770/990 ?

Have you tried the Shure Srh750's? I'd like to hear your thoughts on those

I have got this hdjx10 headphones. When you say it is quite bassy, I do find it very hard to hear bass at all when you are at noisy environment. Am I doing something wrong here ?

Im between the xdj x7 and hd25s, because i feel that the quality, the pads, the material of the x7 are better... but i prefer the sound of the hd25s because is more neutral... What do you think between this two models without take into account the price? PD: i buy first the audiotechnica and i have to give back because the same that you say... crispy mids and highs, very tiring...

HD 25 is nice , but what about this problem of coil connection...so disapointing

One type of headphone I never understood is the on-ear. I just don't get it, I find it so painful after very short time that my ear gets pushed flat against my skull.

I had the pioneers and the AT. Even when both sound good and are very comfy, have a serious quality issues In both models the plastic crack very quickly The AT last around two seasons (200 events) The Pioneer less than one season (80-90 events). I fixed with glue and duck tape and they go for another extra season, but now broken again and are irreparable. I just purchase the HD-25 and I will see.

Just wondering would you have included the V-Moda series headphones?

Sennheiser hd 25, simply the best for me.

Thank you, solid information helps me to make my decision 👏🏽, CJ Neil.

What a laugh! The pioneer HDJ-X10 it's way superior in any aspect to the crap HD-25m. I have got it for like 2 months and throwed the toy in the bin!

I have tested for couples of days pioneer xdj 7x, sennheiser hd25 and audiotechnica M50x and from all of them i picked M50x as by first choice mainly because they are the most comfortable and best sounding of these three. Pioneers have the best build quality but they ware to big and to heavy for me, also too much low end if it goes about saund quality. On the other hand sennheiser h25 looks and feels cheap and cheesy. Sound is very flat and I cand understad that it is what somen may wanted. HD25 have also slippery pads and they dont stick in one placy wneh you are moving. Audio technica M50X looks durable, sound is top notch, I can use them 8 hours straight and they I don't feel any discomfort.

I have used the X5 and would not recommend you do. After 12 months of moderate use they broke from the plastic hinges on both sides so after weeks of back and forth on email they agreed to replace then out of good will they said only for them to brake in exactly the same way from the plastic hinge which is brittle and weak. I wouldn’t mind but I didn’t even use them that much and the box said head tested 20,000 times which must be 🐂💩

the Pioneers all have replaceable parts. Also the X10 has a larger freq range then the 5 and 7.

HD-25!!!!!! There's a reason more djs use hd-25. Low distortion at high level spl

Think your ATH-M50X headphones may be fake. There are lots of reorts of counterfeit ATH-M50X's. Objective test results show them to be pretty neutral. My listening sugggests the same.

what was your breakin duration for each?

Dont forget to mention on the x5 is more plasticky then the audio technica. M50x is more comfier then the x5. Sounds better too..

4:50 that's an awfully nice way to say too much bass boost.

Good and honest review, but it makes me think that all audio or music experts should know this one thing to avoid imprecise judgments: the burn-in (or break-in) process is a must to really get to know how a pair of headphones truly sound. I have the ath-m50x and the HDJ- x10-k and I admit they didn't sound good when recently gotten out of the box, but after 150 hours+ of use the Audio Technicas sound really good and the Pioneers sound really incredible and beautiful and I cannot imagine a $200 dollars on-ear small driver headphones sounding better than them. I suggest to give at least 80 hours of usage to headphones before commenting about their sound quality (in a hurry, because to get the very best they can perform we may need around 300 hours) ... it does make a world of difference and after years of empiric experimentation I'm not really speculating.

Don't ever compare on vs over ear headphones. I feel desperate when i occasionally do a B2B with someone and using their shitty HD-25's. They are screaming high in the mid's and highs, has absolutely no isolation at all, and when around the the neck, there's no auto swivel which make them dingledangle flapping all around. After a few hours my outer ears start hurting because of the constant pressing on the ear. After using the Pioneer HDJ-2000's, HDJ-2000Mk2's and the HDJ-X10's since they came to market, there's very little that could change my mind and use anything else and feel comfy. Doing around 200 gigs/year under normal circumstances, I need a good quality, well isolated headphone that give me all the frequencies so I can make individual choices for every transition, and not be dependent on only snares and high hats, which I have no problem hearing in the pioneer head phones despite being 51 years old and being a DJ since 1985. The HD-25's feel like toys in comparison in my opinion. But, for someone preferring the on ear head phones, and the HD-25's in particular, they will have as many arguments for them as I have for the Pioneer head phones, and the same in reverse for them sa well.

Senhaiser has a low power output.... This is the only reason i do not want them

Guy claims the ATM-50X will break within a year, my ATM-50 originals have been to hundreds of shows and beat to shit and they will not break. Never seen or heard of one breaking, so guy is immediatly full of it lol. later guy, read the comments, everyone using ATM50X

pioneer phones lol. ok. hd25 is the best value going out there, next the 50x.

I just got the hd25 and I'm not impressed...too small on the ears and very stiff and hard...sound not that impressive

Was this guy sponsored by Pioneer?

jajajajaja jbl? really? are y crazy?? jajajajajajajajajajajaja

hdj-c70 kill the hd25.. forget this guy he doesnt have ears anymore
