I'm seriously thinkin of buying these Stanton Pro 60's.
They're in my price range (20-50) and seemed good when I gave them a listen in the store, nice n compact too.
Anyone know what they're like in a club? Do you get much interferance or distortion? Oh and do they snap easily as the plastic doesn't seem too sturdy.
Cheers.

Or any other suggestions in a similar price range?

i think shuffla has them and they're not bad although I have some numarks off playa at the minute which he said he paid £30 for and are real good.
Give him a text or something and ask what his haedphones rae or where there from.
i know the're in my record bag at the minut ewhich he'll be unhappy about !! lol

The Stanton's are £42.
I was lookin at those Behringers in htfr catalogue and they did look nice. Behringer is always good for quality at a cheap price. They're German too so they'll last the time.
Thing is you can't try out the headphones at htfr so i'm worried that if I order from them I may not like what I get. I wanna know whet they feel like first ya know?

haven't used these headphones but my previous experiance with stanton products is they are cheap and break easily. since owning a stanton mixer i have vowed never to buy there products again.

Amazon do the Sony MDR-V700DJ 'phones for a cut down price of £67 if you can stretch...

yea i tried them on. was quite impressed for £25 much better than mine even before they broke! (not difficult i suppose)
Not sure where else you can get them. Oxford is shit for buying headfones. I wanted the technics ones for £50

...but wanted to try them on first. Realise now that the headband will just snap like on my ones so all about getting a decent sized headband i think
at any rate i'll prolly have to replace my speaker first. System check killed it. :(

Believe me - it's well worth a week of financial pain for some massive long term aural gain.
