headphones, sure... what about in-ear monitoring??

been rocking the hd-25 for... ever,

anyone tried mixing with in-ear monitors????

In ear monitors? Is that like taping an HR824 to your head? 

Wireless would be nice, I've lost count of how many times I've gone to dig out a tune and nearly ripped the mixer off the desk.

I have fun wrapping myself up in the headphones cord. Which way did I turn? 

same for headphones, anything with wire,

no one tried in-ears? like sure etc?

I'm personally not a huge fan of in ear phones in general. My mate had some flashy ones which sounded pretty good but just don't compare to closed ones. It just doesn't sound right to me.

keep away from mastering and sound frequency shaping too much with headphones... stick with a good pair of reference monitors and use the master vol now and again to check overall sound... (if you have to turn shit down during the night for various reasons)

i got a pair "open air" ( ? ) headphones that go down to 15hz ( yes i know its not audible ) and up to 22 khz ( yes i know that's not audible either!! ) and they do fine for tracking editing and general mixing around and sound shaping, they have a 6 metre cord, put a sticky note on your monitor saying " take off your headphones before leaving room " or something to remind you... easy

and yeah, they only cost me $25, not bad for 32 ohm, 100 dB sensitivity and 500mW max. power input... if you trash and bash headphones as much as i do, they make for a good pair whilst keeping your $250 specials for special occassions...
 

Are we talking about DJ mixing here or mixing down tracks? When it comes to mixing down tracks I like to stay clear of cans unless it is for a simple reference.

either i guess...
unless a person can dj with no foldbacks and no front-of-house speakers... most headphones-sex is strictly simple reference, or to avoid nasty run-ins with neighbours, house-mates, parents etc

ok, i'll clarify to get this back to in-ear monitors, just standard gigs / parties; 100 - 200 ppl, I'm thrashing my eons and even with my hd-25 s sometime my ears start to go to mud...

anyone used in-ear monitors like singers for bands use?

Yeah i use sennheiser IE-4 from time to time, i like using them, dont have to run them as loud as conventional headphones. never ran them off a wireless system though, no point, the transmitter will have to run out of the dj mixer and you'l have to wear a belt pack receiver, seems a little pointless considering you never really go any further than a meter or two away from it.

I use hd 25's most of the time though.

PS. I think you mean Shure not 'sure' this may have confused people a little.

I've got a set of Shure E4C's, but haven't really tried them for mixing. They come with about a million different ear pieces and once you find the ones that let them sit in your ear properly, they produce fantastic sound.

whoops, i'm pretty shure I meant Shure too. He he.

I find things that go in your ears quite uncomfy

I find that comment quite erotic.

I find that reply quite hilarious.
