I am a newbie and no doubt I have already freaked myself out because being a DJ is a lot like learning a new language. It doesn't help that a lot of the equipment out there are quite expensive. I'm definitely going to check out the Sennheiser you guys suggested for headphones. :) Thank you guys for all of the suggestions.

That's actually one reason why I got out of production because when I started hearing music it was about the filters, synths and programs they may have used instead of just taking the music in.

They sound like a great pair and the ability to adjust all the sides sound like they'd be really comfortable to wear. I wish a lot more headphone manufacturers would take a note in that type of design.<br> <br>The weight is definitely important because you have to factor in the chord as well and when you're bobbing back and forth, just the little bit extra weight will get to you.<br><br>Thanks for the comment!

The weight is definitely important because you have to factor in the chord as well and when you're bobbing back and forth, just the little bit extra weight will get to you.

Thanks for the comment!

I love how, when gaming, you just deal with certain things over time. My keyboard broke once, keys popped off and spacebar barely worked but I kept it for a good 2 years still playing with it.

The cushions are such a nice addition. A lot of Grados have some really great padding, you can wear them all day and it'll feel like they're not even on.

If only the less expensive headphones would be able to flex a bit more around the head; they tend to push down on your ears really hard when you're breaking them in. Just like how there are adjustable sides, there should be an adjustable bar across the top.

Thanks for the comment :)

The 202's got a little annoying after gaming with them for 12 hours straight right after I bought them, but I seemed to have gotten used to them, as I can wear them non stop now with no issues :)

I really love Sennheiser headphones. I picked up a pair of HD555's a while back and it completely changed up how I listened to music, no lie.

The only problem is I got a little carried away one night and hooked them up to a phono preamp, cranked it all the way up and now they crack a lot when there's bass :(

A befitting end to my old favorites.

How's the overall comfort on the HD202's?
