What are DJ headphones anyway?
A disc jockey has very special requirements for his music equipment. Headphones are no exception. Classic DJ headphones are available in an over-ear design. The ear cups completely cover the ears. There are also numerous on-ear (on-the-ear) models. Here it's time to try and compare.
The first important point is the volume performance . Loud party sound and a lack of output volume from the DJ equipment used and you can no longer hear your own mix. Sensitive driver help here. Please pay attention to the appropriate impedance !
Good DJ headphones do an excellent job of blocking out ambient noise . They sound different than HiFi or studio headphones. In live situations, tracks have to be matched and transitions have to be built. Earphones with enhanced sound won't get you anywhere. Speaking of beat matching. Typically, headphones for DJs have foldable and rotating ear cups . This means that the upcoming track can be synced with the current club sound without any problems.
What is important for longer gigs is that they are comfortable to wear . Whether on the head or around the neck. It shouldn't feel uncomfortable. If the headphones now make a stable and high-quality impression, nothing stands in the way of good performance.
cable and plug
To ensure that no cable get in the way when you constantly put them on and take them off, this type of headphone only has one-sided kabelführung . Typical cable lengths are usually two to three meters. A spiral cable (twisted cable or helical cable) increases freedom of movement on stage. The spiral shape has advantages. It has a strain-relieving effect and when stretched, the cable length extends several meters. Normally there is no tangled cables.
Thick cable sheathing, supportive and pluggable cable connections help in everyday DJ life. If cable or connections break due to constant putting on and taking off, spare parts in modular constructions can replace an expensive new purchase. Some plug connections have threads. This offers additional protection against the loss of the small mini-jack-jack adapter.
optics and design
DJs can choose models in a variety of colors and shapes from a wide range of their favorite brands to suit their own wishes and lifestyle ideas. The headphones can be as individual as the choice of record.
Which manufacturers are there?

How much do headphones for disc jockeys cost?

It's not just the workmanship quality, but also significantly better external noise insulation and functions such as Active Noise Canceling or the S-Logic Plus technology in the elegant ULTRASONE models that make the price difference.
