I am a dj and stand for long periods of time, i was looking at these and possibly double them up for added cushion and support...how are these?

As the other responders have mentioned, 1/2" mats are good for cushioning for exercise programs like P90X, Insanity or CrossFit. For long term standing, I agree with the other responders that anti-fatigue mats are probably your best bet. Or you might look for a mat that is 3/4" thick or more. Also you don't need a 48 sq foot mat because it is 4'x6', which is probably bigger than you need, although the pieces can be disassembled easily. But before you invest in mats, make sure the shoes you are wearing are appropriate for the time you will be standing. A good cushioning cross-trainer or walking shoe might be better than a mat.

These are actually in a room for my son to do his karate katas. I am a groomer and stand all day as well--I have something similar that I use to stand on and it does help--you can also check into anti-fatigue mats sold for dog groomer and hairdressers--they may cost a bit more, but it is heaven on earth. It will depend on transportation, size and cost. Good luck!

the matts are really good i like them alot but the material is not strong enough to drop weights on and stuff but in your circumstance that could work but you could just get the 3/4 of an inch matts but either way they should work

I wouldn't buy these for that purpose. Take a look a "Anti Fatigue Mats" instead.

I am not a DJ also, work at an office and it works great as a stand up desk or while sitting down. As for the couch and a lounging atmosphere, it isn't that great. It can get pretty awkward.

I ordered them months ago, and really like them. In fact, I thought they were so comfortable that I fell asleep with them on several times! Good luck, and hope you enjoy your new headphones!

I think once you find the correct ear tips they should stay in place quite well. The weight distribution of the headphones seems to be pretty good. I can't over emphasize how important to try each and every ear tip that is included. And there are a lot. That is the key to great fit, comfort and sound quality. I feel like I work for these guys! But I really don't. I paid for mine and I love them.

I agree with Keith. I'm using them right now, these things are in my ears all the time. I'm not sure they'd be great for running, unless they were under a shirt, but for lifting they're fine. If you're up for the investment, I'd recommend these to anybody and everybody.

At first I thought they were not comfortable. After day one I realized i was just not used to having huge headphones on my head. I have since gotten used to them and think they are very comfortable. That being said, I still can't where them for more than 2hrs at a time. After extended use, I will take them off for a couple of minutes, walk around and put them back on with no problem.

Hmm. That's odd... the old version kind of "floated" behind the neck. I was worried that they would bump into my neck, or that they'd fall down, but they floated very well, and worked like a dream unless I was running on real ground. Maybe you could try a different position? But, if I'm hearing you right, there is no loss of reception (sound cutting in and out) when you're running outdoors and constantly moving? --if so, where did you position your music player?)

they will work good, but they are designed for dj use, meaning used with a dj mixer - which has a much louder pre amp.

I wore them to NIN and found them to be plenty comfortable to wear through the entire concert. There are high and medium protection attachments, so if high is too quiet switch to medium, and if medium is too quite then you might not need to be wearing them? They worked well for me and I would recommend them, but for a serious concert junkie I might recommend making a bigger investment.

I would not recommend for 8 hrs a day use. They are comfortable but on a leisurely basis. We currently use them for additional office furniture for guests. Sturdy comfy I would recommend them.

Hi mike that will not be a problem the headphones can expand if you see the pic right above where it pivots you slide to make bigger. And that's on both sides. Are you a DJ or just looking for some fresh new headphones. The bass is so clean sometimes I need to lower a little depends on the club monitors where I spin. Good luck and hope this helps

Hit answer by mistake; they are good headphones; I would cation if used for extended use and confirm the return policy of the seller. Then wear them for the day see how they feel. Good luck in your search.

I haven't really sweat a lot in them. The foam is pretty thin, so I'm a bit worried about how long they'll last in general, but they're replaceable, so probably not a big deal. Sound is good, unless you require monster bass.

Yess!! I use them for what they are made that is djing and the insulation is crazy i can hear nothing from the exterior world. I also have some Shure headphones, I have tested V moda, other sennheisers, allen and heath, pioneers and this have the best low end, also mids and highs are really clear, so if you are looking them form gaming I think they can make a really good job, but the thing is that this headphone are design for DJs, crazy insulation (I can bet that are the Dj headphones with best insulation in the market right now) and great low end I can't ask for more. And one more thing they are the most comfortable headphones I had ever own, This were very well think, cheers for Sennheiser!!

I actually put them on speaker stands so they are at ear level when i sit down. If you hang it, maybe find a stud to anchor it. They sound great for mid range set.

These headphones were designed and engineered from the ground up for DJs. The swiveling cups, the 50mm cans, the mini-xtr connection, the sound, etc. They are comfortable enough for regular listening, that the sound is not as rich as other headphones available.

hi, its been a few months so maybe you already got these or something else? I just tried dancing in these today and they held up ok. The freedom is amazing..but I haven't cut totally loose with these yet. I started but then popped a shoe lace. So, after I get a new lace I will see how far these buds can hang with me & hopefully update this. Thanks. p.s. audio quality and volume are like higher-end buds. Im running these with a Cowon X7. Update: ====== the cord connecting the ear buds is sticky, even on sweaty skin to some extent but enough to throw these when really throttled up. To fix that I clipped the cord to my hair in back. Now I can spin my hair flat and top it, too, without any problem with these buds. I pushed it past where I normally would have lost regular ear buds also, and they work fine. The trick is keeping that cord off your back and getting those ear tips right (those triangle shaped things that fit on the ear buds). Its an awesome device, very well thought out. If I could change anything though I would add a grove on the ear buds so that the ear tips dont slip down the ear stalk. A set of ear buds, regardless of who makes them, lasts me about month, and my record is about 3 months. So, time will tell how sweat proof they really are. Overall, I am extremely happy with these so far, extremely because they weren't just a replacement but so far an improvement. Good luck.
