How To Choose The Best DJ Headphones In 2019

There are many important factors to consider when selecting the best DJ headphones including the sound quality, durability and comfort for wearing long hours either in the clubs or studios.

In our previous headphone guide, we didn’t mention in details, so here we are giving more tips and guidance on choosing a DJ headphones under 300 for professional musicians and DJs. Always invest in good quality DJ headphones with replaceable parts for the cables, earpads and headbands.

When choosing the right around-the-ear DJ headphone, there are a few checklists you need to make which will be discussed in this topic including headphone sound quality, durability and comfort.

Sound Quality

Headphone Driver
Whether listening to pop, Hip Hop or banging dance music, sound quality does matter.

Choose the headphone audio quality that suits your taste, whether you want it to be bass rich, crystal clear midrange or dynamic balance in between the low, mid and highs.

What is noise cancelling headphones for? Noise cancelling is a way to cancel out the environmental noise to fully enjoy music or sound. Make sure to choose headphone brand with good noise isolation so you don’t get affected with the noise around.

This is why noise isolation is important in a noisy atmosphere such as in the dance clubs. A headphone with poor noise isolation will surely affect the hearing and ends up cranking the volume.

Make sure to control the level properly so it doesn’t stress the headphone speakers that might lead to distortion or even damage to the driver. Good DJ headphones with noise isolation will solve this issue.

Durability

Headband Durability
Choosing a comfortable headphone is important because the ear cups or soft foam will act as a cushion for your ears. There will be great discomfort if wearing it for too long and rough handling will break the ear foam.

When DJs are spinning, they might get very focused on their music and sometimes not realizing the way they handled their headphones. The most common issues with DJ headphones is the ear cups.

It is recommended to find the best headphone brands that provide replaceable ear cushion in case the ear cups broke and it will save some penny from buying a new one.

Comfort

Headphone Ear Pads
Make sure choose the most comfortable headphones with soft foam and headband that fits around the ear. You might wear it for long hours in the studio or dance clubs.

Always try on the headphone before getting it because not everyone has the same head shapes and sizes. The tightness of the ear pads that cover your ears acts as noise isolation and important to choose one that brings great comfort.

If big bulky DJ headphones are not your choice and want something smaller, check out the in-ear monitors (IEM) review that makes sound comes alive with excellent crystal clear midrange and midbass which suitable for DJ mixing too.
