I completely recommend the HD 215s. They're cheap as chips, sound amazing, have a good bass response and very good isolation. However, the most important thing about them is that they're shaped in a way that they stick to your head perfectly. That was always my problem with HD-25s; you'd be messing with em, trying to find the right little spot, and they'd slide off my head and onto the turntables. They've also lasted me a good 4 years without taking any damage.

Could not big em up enough. Really.

i have that problem too. out to all the weird headed crew!

i should get some headphones for general use rather than wearing expensive hd25s out and about so i'll have a look at those

Oh god. I mixed on these for about 3 years. I didn't realise they were the reason my ears hurt so much after a gig until I bought a better pair of headphones. The isolation is rubbish, there's a load of resonance from the closed back and they only go down to about 50-60hz or so. Awful sounding headphones IMHO. Not only that, but because of the rubbish isolation you often have to crank them up really loud - and then they distort much sooner than they should. Bleurgh.

Sorry - that's my opinion anyway! They are indeed cheap, though, and were still in decent condition when I got rid of them so I guess you could say they're durable....

Technics 1210

to that! Brilliant pair of headphones, perfect for my head!

Back to the topic:
2 x Numark TT200
2 x Shure M44-7
1 x Numark M1USB
Some old Sharp amp from like the 80's which sounds brilliant
Pair of old Kenwood Hifi speakers which suit the amp pretty well. Cranked they can be bassy as I'd ever need.

Just got some Alesis M1 mk2 active speakers, what leads will I need to hook this up to my mixer?

they take either XLR or 1/4" jacks

i'd go for XLR personally (and have done in my setup) as it's much better sound. depends what outputs your mixer has i guess

My mixer has just RCA on the back...doesn't look like XLR will fit?

you'll need either XLR to RCA or 1/4" to RCA then

XLR to RCA seems to be sold no where!

1/4" to RCA

apmje wrote:XLR to RCA seems to be sold no where!

XLR to RCA is quite pointless.. XLR is balanced.. RCA is not.. so you'd end up with an unbalanced XLR which defeats the purpose

Alright cheers.
