In response to the Solo HD bargains went searching for the HD25s.. and turns out DJ Warehouse has them on sale again for their "End of financial year sale" for $199 inc delivery! Not as good as the old $149 deal a while ago, but still ruddy good and beats Dick Smiths recent deal (well by $5).
Is this better than beats solo?
Yes.
There is no comparison, beats are eye candy and eye candy only. Then again, I don't even like the look of beats :O
Easily.
Does anyone know where I can try this out? (Im in Sydney western suburbs) I've been trying all the display headphones in jb and Harvey Norman and I must admit that the beats are the best I've tried so far but too expensive, that's why I almost tempted to buy the dick smith sale.
I don't mind paying $200 as long as I know that sound quality is really good. I'm not a dj or anything like that just gonna use it with my new S3 playing music : )
You may not like this if you like Beats.
Isnt this and the dicksmith deal the same price? $199
Shipping perhaps?
Meh, I'll wait for another $149 deal.
Still waiting for a deal on a non-adidas pair.
If you don't mind ordering from overseas, order them from chemicalrecords.co.uk…cheapest around for the original non-adidas version.
Bought mine from them years ago, and as they were the cheapest, and and if I was going to buy another pair (I lost mine), I'd buy from them… I definitely don't want the adidas version!
But, I think I'll get a pair of dt-770 instead…not djing anymore, and use iems for portable use, so would prefer the bass of the dt's (bass on hd-25 is still pretty good tho!)
ah, thanks, I might go take a look =D
Remember to go all the way through checkout…the VAT gets removed for international purchase, so cheaper than what it's listed at.
And postage is pretty cheap…was only a few pounds postage, from what I can recall.
Their new website is absolutely horrible…
Dt770 are also great cans, use them at work everyday, very comfy and sound delicious.
Edit: double post.
These headphones are great, but have a look at the comments for the previous dj warehouse deals…People waiting months for their headphones (some still hadn't received them last time I checked!), and no responses to emails…
You're better off buying from Dick Smith if they still have them. Or order the non-adidas version (no blue, no logos) from chemicalrecords.co.uk (that's where I got mine years ago, and still the cheapest for the non adidas)
also, they have sock puppets posting on ozbargain…just for that, I would never support them!
They really are top headphones for the price, very well built and comfortable, and the extra white velour ear pads are nice also.
But I had to wait over 2 months, yes LITERALLY over 2 months from date of order until receipt of the headphones. Personally id avoid DJ Warehouse and go with dick smith or whoever else if they price match it. I had to constantly ring up and email once every week to see what the story was. No good customer service I think.
Yeah, for portable / dj use, I think they are the best headphone on the market! Extremely rugged, and if anything does go wrong, all the parts are replaceable!
The isolation is the best you'll get in a headphone that light and portable. (excluding IEMs of course)
regret not jumping on the $149 price..
S still rocking mine from the $149 deal every day to work, they are so awesome! Comfy, light and sound unbelievable… my ears don't cope too well with iems so I'm happy I now have a pair of good portables.
Guess I also got lucky with dj warehouse as mine didn't take long to arrive but one easy or another they are totally worth $199.
i bought a pair of non sale headphones from dj warehouse almost 2 years ago, there wasnt another person in the shop and only one guy working there, so they werent busy. It took them 2 months to tell me that the model i ordered had been superceded IN that 2 months time that i was waiting for them. They told me theyd give me the replacement model for the price i paid for the older ones (about $50 difference). They came about a month after that.
So the service is there, but they are dreadful on shipping. checkout addicted to audio or headphones.com.au
Waiting a month+ on first shipment, haven't responded to any of my e-mails :(
Took them a couple of months to arrive last time, be sure to get in quick otherwise you'll probably be waiting the same length of time.
