aiaiai modular headphones. made of five pieces, each piece replaceable/upgradable and interchangeable, wuth differentvarient peiece availabletoo. last pair you will ever own. I have the tma2 wireless move and they are superb. just replaced worn ear pads with the alacantra ones.... so nice.
found them on the buymeonce website. solid recommendation
I'm not the biggest fan of noise-cancelling stuff, so can't speak for them. I also still dip my toes into DJ'ing now and again so like to have something that's light weight but can also take some punishment. For their modular design *(If a part breaks you can just swap it out, you don't need to buy a full new set of headphones)*, I'm a huge fan of AIAIAI. I listen to most genres, including rock and metal as well, and I can't fault them.
My day-to-day headphones, including gym use, are the AIAIAI TMA-2 Move Wireless, they'd be my recommendation, it also, like most headphones these days, has its own tuning app.
I also have a pair for AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio XE, which are wired, but I mainly use them for DJ'ing.
I once wrote somewhat of a negative review about Aiaiai headphones and folks lost their mind, that's when I realized how fantastic their social media campaign had been and the level of fanboys/girls that were created in the process. Mind you, I was alluding to a problem that the company themselves had acknowledged and written up a possible fix for. That issue was around the noise floor of their wireless headphones which was unacceptable to me. I really wanted to like them...they didn't sound too bad once you got past the noise floor but I found them super uncomfortable and read where folks had put them over boxes to kind of stretch them out a bit for comfort which might not be the case for everyone.
Anyways I had the HD25s which I never liked as they remind me of the Sony Walkman headphones from back in the day. What I do recommend is the beyerdynamic DJ 300 PRO X Professional DJ Headphones. The sound is amazing, comfort not too bad (you may have to break them in) but what's also great and kind of unique about them is you have the option for them to be either on OR over ear which is pretty amazing imo as they come with both sets of pads. I liked the things so much that I actually wound up buying 2 pairs...can't get a better endorsement than that, lol you should check em out.
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.
