Finding an IEM which sounds as close as SRH440 as possible, mainly neutrality

That is a sweeping statement which is not being substantiated by actual figures    

For generic DJ brands like Stanton, Technics, Pioneer, Newmark etc, there are sponsorship programs with popular DJs especially during their public performances or MVs to promote the brands.  Just like the Monster/Dre's.

The no. 1 DJ, Armin Van Buuren uses Stanton DJ Pro 2000, Tiesto as well.  David Guetta uses Sennheisers, Above & Beyond as well. Deadmau5 uses in-earphones.  These are the Top 5s in 2010 rated by DJ Mag and none of them uses Pioneer.

Going beyond the hypes, not forgetting that we are all posting in the audiophile section, there are the highly regarded AKG K181DJs, very big in Europe.  Then there are the Sennheisers with new entrants like the V-Moda Crossfade, AiAiAi TMA-1.

You will find a list of 26 top European DJs that are working with TMA-1 here: http://tma-1.com/#/our_testers/?member=test0

Here is a detail comparison review between the Crossfade and TMA-1.

can you recommend me which headphone the best for electronic dance music? i heard TMA-1 is good. how about other brand? and one more thing i notice all audiophile people (not a DJ) that into electronic music. pioneer product not their first choice. weird because a lots of world class DJ using pioneer headphones. can someone explain to me why? and all high end headphone need amp?

I second this.

no DJs use Pioneer headphones, but their turntables even the former world 1 DJ Clive Rudloe uses Pioneer turntable. IIMN, Above and Beyond, Tiesto uses Pioneer turntables too. I wonder ATB uses what headset?
I agree that those top DJs are being sponsored by those well known brands, Technics, Stanton, Newmark etc. Even AvB's Stanton looks like a AKG rip-off.
Ironically budding DJs featured in Anjuanabeats like Mat Zo, Adam Nickey uses Sonys 

AiAiAi TMA-1, I don't have the balls to buy it still waiting for more of those specifically built for DJs headphone :]

Mate! So sure? lol. most of them i saw live. Armin, James Zabiela, Gareth Emery, Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Markus Schulz, Richie Hawtin, Paul van Dyk, Guetta, Dubfire, Afrojack and even deadmau5 last time most of them using HDJ-2000 now. thats why I'm asking!

Quite unrelated, but how on earth did you see all of them live! Deadmau5 fine he was just here (and i had to miss it)
GAH jealousy.
But actually i've also been wondering why Pioneer almost never comes up in audiophiles. How does it do in terms of sound anyway? Mediocre?

anyway E1-AKG how much TMA-1 now? might be consider grab it..

is that true that 'PL11(sound magic) is miles ahead of EP-630(creative)'

now im in dilemma what to choose between

1)EP-630
2)PL11
3)hippo groove

(budget RM50-60)

Armin - Zouk SG - last month
PvD - Zouk KL - Last Sunday
Carl Cox - Zouk KL - Last year
Markus Schulz and Gareth Emery - Zouk KL - early this year
Afrojack, Guetta - ZoukOut SG - last year
Richie Hawtin - ZoukOut 2009

so whats the point?

Where are you based

Zouk have a sponsorship contract with Pioneer to subsidise the cost of guest DJs.

Selangor and KL. Btw, any place to test one?

Deadmau5 don't really like what he mixes.
anyway, he is funny especially when he comes out from backstage with his mickey mouse head blobbing up and down.

Tiesto using Technics?
