That’s a good DJ headphone?

The magic abbreviation “DJ” has obviously become the favorite prefix of all marketing departments in recent years. But not everything where the magic word “DJ” is stamped on it is a sovereign tool for the rough working conditions in clubs. On the other hand, it’s actually not that hard to be a “good” DJ headphone.

Three things make a good DJ headphones – the business …

1. A neat ambient noise shielding so that the DJ can control its rhythmic action as closely as possible.
2. A well-defined sound with decent volume reserves (important: the right impedance). The headphone may well have a bit more boost in the bass and a little more character than studio headphones.
3. A comfortable as well as secure fit on the head (ideally with rotatable ear cups). And of course the headphone has to be really robust, because no other type of headphone is so heavily used.

… and the pleasure

The pleasure means that your new DJ headphone should have features such as replaceable cables and ear pads and a mechanism for folding during transportation.
As you can see, in some areas this is not so different from what a studio or hi-fi headset should do, for example. Back in the days the first DJ headphones were often also studio models, which were simply misused by DJs. Accordingly, there is a whole series of headphones that do not carry a “DJ” in their name and yet are ideal for the DJ booth and they have even become a standard.

No matter if with or without the addition “DJ” – in this category we present you all models, with which an evening in the club promise you success.
