Earphones breaking all the time. cause?
So I’ve recently went through my 4th pair of earphones in the last 6 months… 2 iPod ones, 1 Senheisser, 1 Sony. Every single time, they start developing this popping/buzzing sound, which I’m sure means that I blasted out one of the frequency ranges (usually bass). I listen to trance and other loud dance music mostly, so I usually turn the volume up pretty loud. I also use Fruity Loops to mix tunes sometimes. I like to use the frequency filter for special effects a lot (I especially like filtering the low pass for a compressing effect) and also the equalizer to turn up the bass and treble and lower the mid range. So I’m guessin my earphones are breaking because of one of these two reasons. My question is… what can I do to not break the bass?
I’m gonna buy a semi-expensive pair of headphones soon… so I’d like to find out what I’m doing wrong before then. Tanks

It sounds like you’ve been using some sub-par headphones that can’t handle the specific frequencies you’re tuning in to. If you’re going to be producing and doing DJ stuff, you’re going to have to invest in a good solid pair. I suggest the Sennheiser HD 280 Professional Headphones. These are one of the higher end headphones available and they are moderately priced at around $80. I can almost guarantee you these ones won’t break due to the music being played through them. In fact, the only way they’ll break is if you jump on them. They are that good. I’ve been a DJ for a couple years now and I bought some about a year ago. They work like new and have been a dream to use. Here’s a link to some reviews on the HD 280′s.
Hope that helps.

I’m not as worried about your headphones as much as I am worried about your hearing.
Please consider reducing the amplitude (volume) of your mixes.
If these tunes are ruining your earphones, what long term damage are they doing to your ears?
It may not be apparent now, but in as little as 6 to 10 years, you could develop very serious loss of hearing and, depending on your job, it might affect your choice of work.
You may find it difficult to drive if you are hearing impaired and worst of all, if you decide to start a family, you may never hear your children’s voices, let alone any grandchildren.
Simply buying more expensive and stronger headphones is like putting a bigger rated fuse in electrical equipment. The equipment is less likely to blow the fuse and instead it will become damaged beyond economic repair. Would anyone destroy an expensive sound system for the sake of buying the correctly rated fuse at a few pennies?
Please take care of your hearing.
Cheers, Rob.
