QUOTE(E1 - AKG @ May 17 2011, 08:59 AM) 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. http://www.ubergizmo.com/2010/11/aiaiai-tm...a-crossfade-lp/    QUOTE(TechnoG @ May 17 2011, 03:54 PM) I second this. 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!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 :]This post has been edited by MCQueen: May 17 2011, 08:41 PM |

QUOTE(nabzblitz @ May 17 2011, 08:49 PM) 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) Armin - Zouk SG - last monthGAH 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? 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? |
