DJ Headphones

For as many different types of Decks and Mixers there are probably 3-1 headphones to match. The choice is dazzling and you will be amazed at how many there are. What you’re looking for when starting out is fairly simple headphones that do what there supposed to do. Try to avoid working with or buying in ear headphones, they have a tendency to allow in noise pollution which complicates things when you’re attempting to work with the beat and get your timing right.
The best bet is to go for headphones that close over the entire ear which is known as a ‘can’. I could spend all day going on about the best model vs the worst model but that would be pointless and it wouldn’t help you in the slightest.
As makes go it seems that Sennheisser are the most popular choice amongst DJ’s but Sony are chasing there tail very hard with innovative and new models being developed all the time. With this in mind it all boils down to budget and what you can afford. There is nothing wrong with buying second hand and then upgrading your equipment once the money starts rolling in.
What headphones to buy all depend largely on what kind of DJ work you are aiming to specialize in? Obviously the main priority is to hear the music without any outside pollution. A lot of stores will be happy for you to try out there equipment before buying so it might be best to visit a DJ equipment store so that you can try out each range.
Bigger tips to follow are making a list of each model and try to determine your choice on the benefits of each brand. Once you have your list you can then begin the selection process. It is important at this stage that you investigate each product using the internet. What you will find in many cases is the cost on the internet can sometimes be half the price of what you might pay at a bricks and mortar store.
