If you prefer on-ear, HD25. If you prefer over-ear, AIAIAI TMA-2 custom built is great.

AIAIAI TMA2, can be upgraded with the wireless connection which is so much fun. The previous version didn't get loud enough on wireless connection but it looks like they fixed that now (TMA 2 DJ Wireless).

Over ear imo 🤷‍♂️ Love my TM 2 x-DJs a lot.

I hear my Aiaiai TM2's just fine 🤷‍♂️. I have super sensitive hearing and just keep the headphones just over booth volume and it seems to work

Aiaiai TM2's with the bigger ear cups are fun and comfy. 🤷‍♂️

I went the AIAIAI route as well. Being modular means that I can buy different speaker units, or headbands for whatever comes up. I have the regular headband, over-the-ear earpads and the Bluetooth DJ speakers and a volt yellow coiled cable. I also bought a hardcase for them to live in when not in use. It's been at least 5 years and they are still running strong. They sound great, have excellent isolation and if something breaks, I just order the part. No need to toss the whole set. 👍🏾👍🏾

You can add (albeit at some extra expense) the matching large OE pads - they are perfect (imho)

Try this... You'll never regret . Only update the pieces gradually [https://aiaiai.audio/headphones/dj-headphones?srsltid=AfmBOorBO9qH-r-\_k1hW7m\_dNZlgkxSzDjzmq4AwInNL3wloQzc5MXTi](https://aiaiai.audio/headphones/dj-headphones?srsltid=AfmBOorBO9qH-r-_k1hW7m_dNZlgkxSzDjzmq4AwInNL3wloQzc5MXTi)

i tried out the AIAIAI headphones for how repairable and customizable they are. Not the best listening quality but they do the job for DJing and if anything breaks, it’s like $40 for the most expensive parts

I think it depends entirely on whether you want to mix in headphones or via your speakers. My speakers are on the smaller side, it’s fun to blast music but my nicer headphones give a far more accurate idea of what the mix sounds like. I’ve never tried DT-770s mostly because I’ve heard they’re quite bright and I’ve never liked that in a headphone, I enjoy my Rode NTH-100’s a lot for mixing and just listening, they’re comfortable, well built and not too fatiguing while still being accurate. I also like my TMA-2’s with the S05 speakers and either the E04 or E08 pads depending on whether I fancy more bass or more sound stage. People aren’t lying about the HD-25s, they’re great but I don’t find them comfortable for longer sessions where I’m monitoring in headphones. Astounding otherwise though.

Be very careful buying wireless headphones - if they’re Bluetooth then there will be an unacceptable delay. You think you can work around it, maybe by adjusting desktop play delay (if you’re on avid) - but - don’t do it. Even if you can offset your playback to account for the Bluetooth delay (I can recommend an iPhone app called CatchinSync for that) - you will always have to adjust your in points as they will always be late. Saying that, my favourite headphones for editing are wireless. I wear them all day and they’re very comfortable and sound great. These are AIAIAI TMA-2 - really great and minuscule delay (9ms I think - which is less than half a frame at 50fps)
