What you recommend between these for electronic muzic production and mixing: 1. V moda XS 2. Sennheiser hd 26 pro 3. Sennheiser hd 25 C II 4. Beyerdynamic t51p 5. Anything else then those mentioned

Take in consider furthere aspects: - portability (indoor / outdoor) - not to big and heavy - confortable for long listening - sound quality

All three of those are great headphones. But I would recommend going with the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II.

  1. I'm a big Sennheiser fanboy x)

  2. Great sound quality (which is expected from Sennheiser).

  3. They're very lightweight and comfortable.

  4. A very high maximum sound pressure (meaning that when you put them on while the music is playing, the headphones will isolate most of it so you can concentrate on your transition in your mix).

  5. They have a very tough detachable steel cable.

In conclusion, these headphones were basically made for DJ-ing.

The HD 26 Pro are more for professional studio monitoring rather than DJ monitoring. Although you can use them as well, just like almost every Sennheiser product. I'm using the HD 280 PRO's. But I don't think you would be interested in them since they're bigger and heavier headphones. But they're not uncomfortable. They have an ergonomic design, a much better sound isolation (mostly because they're over-the-ear headphones and their overall size) and a true-to-detail linear flat audio reproduction. They're also cheaper than the HD 25's. I highly recommend them.

Another recommendation is the Sennheiser HD DJ series headphones (HD8 DJ, HD7 DJ & HD6 MIX). These headphones were made specifically for DJ use. They're a bit bigger and a bit more expensive. The best one obviously being the HD8 DJ with excellent sound reproduction, swiveling ear cups (up to 210°) and outstanding noise cancellation. You can check them out on their website: http://en-de.sennheiser.com/

Side note: I also have the HD 202 headphones. They're about 21-22 years old. They still work like a charm, and sound amazing! Basically, you can't go wrong with Sennheiser.

Hope this helped. Take care.
