How to choose DJ headphones

DJ headphones come in different shapes and sizes, with varying levels of sound reproduction, impedance, comfort, flexibility, and more, so it’s hard to know which pair will be right for your needs. To help you decide, we’ve put together a cheat sheet of our over-ear and on-ear DJ, studio, and music monitoring headphones. Whether you want them for DJing, producing music, or for enjoying your beats with the sound quality they deserve, this list will simplify your search for the right listening device.

Wireless headphones

Sometimes you just don’t want to have to worry about cables,  Lightweight, durable, and available in 3 colours to match your gear, they’ll help you monitor your music from the street to the booth. “A cool feature is that the wireless connection is turned off as soon as you attach the cable,” Kane Michael said of the HDJ-X5BT in Magnetic Magazine’s article

Our HRM studio reference headphones are different from DJ headphones in a number of ways. They’ll deliver a flatter frequency response to help you make more accurate music production decisions. The studio isn’t sweaty like the booth, so our studio monitor headphone cushions are made of super-soft fabrics. The fully-enclosed cups filter out ambient noise, allowing you to fine-tune your creations with ease. Plus, the HRM-7 and HRM-6 feature high impedance so you can be sure they’ll handle anything your music production process throws at them without overloading. If you’re in need of headphones that will also work with smaller set-ups, like that of your home studio, check out our HRM-5 model.
