Good Headphones

Ive had a pair of stanton DJ PRO 60 headphones for a while now, but they push way to hard on the ear and fold up while mixing.
Does anyone know a good pair of headphones to get for under £40 that are comfortable?

try the sony range - great quality if you're on a budget

i know it goes without saying but you really get what you pay for with headphones

A decent pair of headphones will cost you £50 - £150.

If you're on a budget (£15-£30), my personal suggestion would be to try one of these:

SENNHEISER HD 205 - HEADPHONES (BLACK)- A PAIR OF

STANTON DJ PRO 1000 S MK2 - HEADPHONES- A PAIR OF

SONY MDRV 300 - HEADPHONES- A PAIR OF

I have friends whom use these, and whilst they are not great, they are suitable for bedroom mixing.

Personally I use a Sony DMRV-700 stick headphone on a bent handle. I had this custom made in Amercia, and can't recommend these headphone enough - best I've used.

The Sony DMRV 700 headphones can be viewed here:

SONY MDRV 700 - HEADPHONES- A PAIR OF

If you want them custom made as a stick headphone then look here:

All costs charged include for parts and shipping. They take about 7 days to make (unless the maker has stock of course) and about7-14 days for shipping. Genuine pairs of cans are converted from two cup into a single stick (with one cup).

I brought one of these custom ones ecently and am extermely impressed. Well worth it. I've attached two photos.

I think in all honesty most DJ headphones are a bit tight on the ears when new, and over time usually loosen off a bit.
I also love sony headphones, mainly because they have deep bass which isnt strictly accurate for music production, but does sound great when mixing imo. I use mdr-v500 when at home, and these cost about £55 new. Your stantons probably are as good in terms of sound quality, so maybe just use them a bit more and they will loosen off a bit
