These headphones can be safely folded up for added convenience while traveling. For those who do not mind paying a bit extra, the product can be purchased with a matching protective carrying case. Otherwise, it will just come with a soft carrying pouch and its quarter-inch adapter. The padding on this set is designed to be ultra-comfortable no matter how long you wear them. The earcups are covered in wrinkled, plush padding to provides a lot of flexibility when molding to different shaped ears. The headband is wrapped with similar soft padding, except it is smooth instead of wrinkled. Their headband is also very wide. No matter how much you move and grove during a music session, they will not be flying off of your head.

The left and right earcups are labeled accordingly since DJs often allocate certain sounds to only one side or the other. The word professional also appears on the outside of the product so that anyone who sees them knows that they are the real deal. Inside the product are super strong neodymium magnets and 40-millimeter drivers that ensure the creation of accurate sound. Because they completely envelop the ear, they also boast sound isolation capabilities.

These Audio-Technica ATH-M20x professional headphones might be a good option for those looking to save money on their headgear without sacrificing quality. Inside them are 40-millimeter drivers, magnets, and aluminum wiring that is coasted with copper for a trustworthy connection.

The earcups themselves can swivel up to 15 degrees in either direction, helping them adapt to any sized head. They also feature a circumaural design so that you can easily share what you are listening to with others at the same time. Additionally, this product’s over-ear design will help block out some exterior noise to enhance your listening experience. Unfortunately, this product is not collapsible. Utmost care should be taken when transporting them from place to place.

With this purchase, buyers also get a 6.3-millimeter adapter that can be snapped on and off of the included cable. The frequency response of this product ranges from 15-20,000 hertz and it has an ohm impedance of 47. These stats are not industry topping, but they are certainly respectable. This product is capable of producing rich sound and can be trusted to perform well in professional settings. Those who are new to the disc jockey industry or are in a bit of a pinch for cash may find these to meet and exceed their needs and expectations. These may also be a good option for those who DJ only recreationally and do not need a top-of-line product.

Adapters are small and all too easy to lose. With the OneOdio Stereo Monitor headphones, you can kiss having to keep track of your adapter or fiddling with its connection goodbye. Despite not having an adapter, this product is compatible with a wide range of products ranging from Apple devices to DJ boards. To produce crisp hi-fi sound, 50-millimeter drivers and neodymium magnets are used.

Wearing these bad boys is also super comfortable. Their earcups are lined with cushions that were developed with comfort and noise isolation in mind.

Conversely, for those who are looking to stand out, they are also available with bright red accents or in all pink.

They can be plugged into computers, electric guitars, amps, phones, and more! That being said, these headphones were designed with a few specific uses in mind, such as using turntables and mixer panels. They may be a good option for a DJ who likes expressing themselves through color. They may also catch the eye of those who would prefer to have their listening and recording capabilities combined into one product.

While working to make your listening experience more comfortable, they also help block out exterior sounds.

With an ohm impedance of 32 and a sensitivity of 103 decibels, this product is ideal for home listening and hobby DJing.

OneOdio’s A71Wired Over Ear Headphones model is a sturdy looking product, albeit they are a bit chunky. They come in two different color options like most other models put out by this brand. The first option has a black base, a silver logo, and firetruck red accents on the headband cushion and stretched over the cup where the sound comes out. The second option has a silver base color with brown cushioning and a matching brown logo. Inside the ear cups are a large printed set of “L” and “R” so you can tell which way you are supposed to wear these.

Included in the purchase of this product is a soft drawstring bag for carrying them printed with a logo. While this case will not protect the product from severe damage inflicted by physical force such as dropping, it will protect them from scratches and other minor damage. Buyers will also get a nifty user manual and two separate detachable cables. The first is a 3.5-6.35 millimeter cable, and the second is a 3.5-millimeter audio jack cable.

These Vogek over-ear DJ headphones by Sopownic are designed specifically for professional DJs to use for monitoring and mixing in studios or during gigs. What stands out the most about them is their super comfortable padding. In response to buyer feedback, the manufacturers actually upgraded the artificial leather padding that used to come with this model. It was giving people earaches in as little as fifteen minutes. In this updated version, the earcups and headband are both covered with protein leather stuffed to the max with memory foam. While the headband has a standard thickness, the earcups are a bit thicker than average. Not only does it make these more comfortable, but it also helps with outside noise reduction. Note that the earcups also can swivel up to 90 degrees.

As an extra bonus, this product is available in four different color options. For those who prefer traditional options, it can be purchased in black or silver. For consumers who like to shake things up though, they also come in a flashy gold and white combo and a silver and white combo.

These studio headphones come with a 2-in-1 plug that works with 3.5 and 6.35-millimeter sizes. To switch them in and out, all you have do is twist them. To take these on the go, collapse them for added convenience. This product may be a good option for professionals who need to be able to wear their headphones for long hours without feeling pain or fatigue.

Monoprice is a lesser-known brand that provides DJ audio equipment on the cheap. These Monoprice Premium Hi-Fi Dj Style Headphones are likely a good option for just need a basic pair for listening. Full disclosure here– these are definitely not the most comfortable things out there. Their earcup padding is made from lower-quality materials and is relatively thin. The full headband is not even lined with padding. There are just three separate small cushion pillows on the top underside to protect the very crown of your head from pain. Do not count on being able to wear these for hours at a time without either feeling an earache, headache, digging pains, or all of the above.

With all of this being said, the product still works fine. They produce mediocre quality hi-fi sound thanks to their 50-millimeter drivers. They feature 100 decibels of sensitivity and have a standard frequency response range of 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. They are surprisingly durable despite their price tag. In place of a fixed wire, this product features a 3.5-millimeter jack where the cable can be inserted. This will help the cable last longer since it can be wrapped up and stored properly. Included in the purchase of this product are two 4-foot long cables, one of which as a microphone and controller. The box they arrive in is study enough to transport them safely. Overall, professionals should not count on these as their go-to pair. However, they might make an excellent interim or backup pair.
