How to choose the right headset?

Dude, I'm 2,07m tall, a regular sized head would look weird

I know what you say. My Bro' is 2.06 meters tall, and hes has a pretty big head

All i can say on this, is make sure they are 50mm drivers, make sure they have nice comfy padded ear cusioning, i always find this anoying how uncomfy DJ headphones normally are, so much that after a little while your ears are so sore,I think those skull candy ones seem to have a good range to choose from that all seem well made and thought out.
Just also make sure you also get ones with the widest frequency range possible, it may just help, more so with the extra high frequency, if thier will be a lots of bass as with most venues or if you like cranking up your speakers, this extra headroom with the highs will help you overcome this, enabling you to here a litle more Freq range otherwise lost in your headphone mix , maybe not over aparent, but never the less i would still take this into consideration, just my thoughts.

So many to choose from, i have a pair of Numark redwave not too expensive at £60, that sound okay, but sadley they are as most DJ headphone not so good with the padding.
I myself have decided to look into those Skull candy ones next time round.

I'm back there, for some feedback.

It's been a month and a half since a i got the headset, and, what can I say....it's just amazing ! Whether it is to listen music on the bus, or to mix, it sounds great. The memory foam earrings made it really comfy after a week or so, now i can use it for hours without feeling my ears compressed. I now understand why it is called an "industry standard".

All in all, great purchase, i do not regret it for one sec, and i'd recommend it to anyone.

Cheers, Mata.

yep, I switched to the velvet earrings (only thing I've ever had to replace), You'll get a lot of mileage out of those.

So you can have a try.

HD25s all the way ....bullet proof, reliable, high sound pressure, and awesome freq response across the whole spectrum. They maybe smaller than some other headphones on the market, and cost alot, but there is a reason - they are just in a league of their own. Never ever had to tweak the freq to hear them...more like turn them down if anything , as they are just amazingly punchy with their high dB.
Even professional sound engineers working in film/tv use them.
Ive sometimes have found myself at a gig without mine, and i miss not having them with me....so much harder to use other cans once you have had these babies on your ears!
i forgot to add that you can even get replacement earcups in vinyl or velour!
