Anyone have a recommendation for an especially bright-sounding set of
headphones?

I'm looking for a new set of DJing headphones (so they need to be
capable of decent volume) that aren't so cranked on the bass like the DJ
phones I've tried. I prefer to use the hi-hats to beatmatch, and wonder
if there's some pair where I can get some decent volume off the hi-hat
without the bass being so overpoweringly loud at the same time.

Peece,

Have you tried the Sony 7506? They're too bright for me, might be perfect for
you.

Sony makes a DJ headphone set with extra isolation, and swivel ear cups for
DJ's... They also EQ'd them for DJ's. Look into it.

Sony MDR-V6.

Scott, Jay,

Thanks for the recommendation.

I suspected it might come down to the V6s/7506s (they ARE essentially
the same, right?)... Not as powerful as I dream of for DJing (fine when
over the ears, but would be better if I could slip them half off the
ears and put out enough volume for an audible, tinny ch-ch-ch-ch to
refer to while mostly listening to the mix output off the monitors), but
they're the brightest phones I've had personal experience with.

Beyer makes some really bright ones too... I forget which models they
are, but they definitely make some brighter than the DT-100.
