At the forefront of their innovative design is W+ Link technology, which gives you a stable wireless connection with ultra-low latency audio that ensures incredibly precise beat matching and mixing. They allow for complete accuracy in your DJing, the kind you&#8217;d usually have with a wired connection.<\/p>\n<p>And for casual listening, there&#8217;s Bluetooth connectivity, with an operating range of 10m.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the headphones lie 40mm bio-cellulose diaphragm drivers, which deliver a bass-heavy sound with clarity in the treble &#8211; perfect for DJing where you want that bass to power through. Even in the noisiest clubs going, these headphones are built to give you an exceptionally clear, detailed mix. There are then memory foam ear cushions that are both comfortable and sound-isolating.<\/p>\n<p>Better still, the TMA-2 DJ Wireless are built from sustainable materials, including 100% recycled plastic speaker units. They&#8217;re lightweight yet extremely durable and can handle being used DJ set after DJ set, night after night.<\/p>\n<p>The only downside is that the headband&#8217;s padding isn&#8217;t as thick as we&#8217;d like it to be. However, this is made up for by the headphone&#8217;s modular design. You can switch and upgrade parts of the headphones, including the headband, tailoring them to your unique setup and needs.<\/p>\n<p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA-DJ-and-Lighting\/AIAIAI-TMA-2-DJ-Wireless\/6QP1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AIAIAI TMA-2 DJ Wireless Headphones<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_SubZero_DJH200\"><\/span>3.

They have a steel-core headband and an ultra-tough design \u2013 tested under the US Military Standard MIL-STD-810H shock test.<\/p>\n<p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA-DJ-and-Lighting\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-Lightweight-On-Ear-DJ-Headphones\/4QTT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Audio_Technica_ATH-M60x\"><\/span>9.

One is the need to compete with crowd noise and PA systems \u2013 if you can\u2019t hear anything with them then what\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n<p>A good bass response is also recommended, so you can hear the low end that your crowd are hearing out on the dance floor. If you can, aim for it to be 20Hz or lower.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the drivers \u2013 you want them to be 40mm or larger and have the impedance be 25 ohms or more. This will ensure that your sound is as powerful as it needs to be. And as a result, you\u2019ll be able to pick out all the key track elements that you need to.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noise_isolation\"><\/span>Noise isolation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Not able to hear your mix? You\u2019re going to be a rubbish DJ. So, in this respect, noise isolation is vital for doing a good job.<\/p>\n<p>Noise isolation refers to how much the outside world is blocked out by your headphones, letting you home in on the mix everyone is dancing to.<\/p>\n<p>The more the outside world is blocked out, the more you\u2019ll be able to spin those bangers. And isn\u2019t that all you need from life?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comfort\"><\/span>Comfort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you are DJing, your sessions will probably be very long. That\u2019s why comfort is vital for DJ headphones.<\/p>\n<p>Something you find mildly uncomfortable in a short listening session could make your DJ set a nightmare. You want to be able to forget your headphones are even there and let them become an extension of yourself, not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, you should check the quality of your earpads, and \u2013 just as importantly \u2013 the headband. This will determine whether you\u2019ll have a good time DJing after all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27396 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25.jpg\" alt=\"Sennheiser HD 25 headphones\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25-1080x540.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_quality\"><\/span>Build quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If your cans won\u2019t last, why buy them? When you\u2019re DJing every night, they&#8217;re bound to undergo a certain level of wear and tear. And you don\u2019t want to be \u2013 as a result \u2013 burning through multiple DJ headphones in a week.<\/p>\n<p>In this respect, build quality is an incredibly important thing to consider.<\/p>\n<p>One element you\u2019ll want to check is the moisture resistance. It can get sweaty up on stage and you\u2019ll want headphones that protect against this. If you have moisture-resistant headphones, all they\u2019ll need at the end of the night is a simple wipe and they won\u2019t end up stinking of sweat.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to look out for is the quality of the plastic. Look out for good ABS builds as these are tougher and, as a result, last longer than other plastics.<\/p>\n<p>One good defence against the wearing out of parts is to buy a modular headphone model. These have switchable parts, so if you end up breaking just one bit of your phones (i.e. the speakers), you can easily switch them out for a new pair.<\/p>\n<p>You can usually tell the quality of a pair of headphones by their brand. So, try to go for a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/best-headphone-brands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reputable brand<\/a><\/strong> that is known for its dedication to making high-quality products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aesthetics\"><\/span>Aesthetics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>While looks aren\u2019t everything&#8230; don\u2019t you want to look cool when you\u2019re DJing?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re struggling to choose between two pairs of headphones that you think are quite similar in features, why not just choose the ones that look the best?<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re up on stage laying down some tunes, everyone can see you \u2013 and sometimes there are even photographers. So \u2013 with this in mind \u2013 make sure your headphones look the part.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27394 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones.jpg\" alt=\"Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX headphones\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones-1080x540.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;FAQs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_headphones_do_most_professional_DJs_use\"><\/span>What headphones do most professional DJs use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Most professional DJs use the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA-DJ-and-Lighting\/Sennheiser-HD-25-Headphones\/1GCI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sennheiser HD 25s<\/a><\/strong>.

One is the need to compete with crowd noise and PA systems \u2013 if you can\u2019t hear anything with them then what\u2019s the point?<\/p><p>A good bass response is also recommended, so you can hear the low end that your crowd are hearing out on the dance floor. If you can, aim for it to be 20Hz or lower.<\/p><p>In terms of the drivers \u2013 you want them to be 40mm or larger and have the impedance be 25 ohms or more. This will ensure that your sound is as powerful as it needs to be. And as a result, you\u2019ll be able to pick out all the key track elements that you need to.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Noise isolation<\/h4><p>Not able to hear your mix? You\u2019re going to be a rubbish DJ. So, in this respect, noise isolation is vital for doing a good job.<\/p><p>Noise isolation refers to how much the outside world is blocked out by your headphones, letting you home in on the mix everyone is dancing to.<\/p><p>The more the outside world is blocked out, the more you\u2019ll be able to spin those bangers. And isn\u2019t that all you need from life?<\/p><hr \/><h4>Comfort<\/h4><p>If you are DJing, your sessions will probably be very long. That\u2019s why comfort is vital for DJ headphones.<\/p><p>Something you find mildly uncomfortable in a short listening session could make your DJ set a nightmare. You want to be able to forget your headphones are even there and let them become an extension of yourself, not the other way around.<\/p><p>Therefore, you should check the quality of your earpads, and \u2013 just as importantly \u2013 the headband. This will determine whether you\u2019ll have a good time DJing after all.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27396 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Sennheiser-HD-25.jpg\" alt=\"Sennheiser HD 25 headphones\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h4>Build quality<\/h4><p>If your cans won\u2019t last, why buy them? When you\u2019re DJing every night, they're bound to undergo a certain level of wear and tear. And you don\u2019t want to be \u2013 as a result \u2013 burning through multiple DJ headphones in a week.<\/p><p>In this respect, build quality is an incredibly important thing to consider.<\/p><p>One element you\u2019ll want to check is the moisture resistance. It can get sweaty up on stage and you\u2019ll want headphones that protect against this. If you have moisture-resistant headphones, all they\u2019ll need at the end of the night is a simple wipe and they won\u2019t end up stinking of sweat.<\/p><p>Another thing to look out for is the quality of the plastic. Look out for good ABS builds as these are tougher and, as a result, last longer than other plastics.<\/p><p>One good defence against the wearing out of parts is to buy a modular headphone model. These have switchable parts, so if you end up breaking just one bit of your phones (i.e. the speakers), you can easily switch them out for a new pair.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Aesthetics<\/h4><p>While looks aren\u2019t everything... don\u2019t you want to look cool when you\u2019re DJing?<\/p><p>If you're struggling to choose between two pairs of headphones that you think are quite similar in features, why not just choose the ones that look the best?<\/p><p>When you\u2019re up on stage laying down some tunes, everyone can see you \u2013 and sometimes there are even photographers. So \u2013 with this in mind \u2013 make sure your headphones look the part.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27394 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/06\/Pioneer-DJ-HDJ-CX-headphones.jpg\" alt=\"Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX headphones\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h3>FAQs<\/h3><h4>What headphones do most professional DJs use?<\/h4><p>Most professional DJs use the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/PA-DJ-and-Lighting\/Sennheiser-HD-25-Headphones\/1GCI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sennheiser HD 25s<\/a><\/strong>. This is because of their superior sound and build quality, matched up against their affordable price. If you go into any club, you're bound to see a DJ using these bad boys. And if not, they\u2019ll at least own a pair.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Does it matter what headphones you use for DJing?<\/h4><p>It does matter what headphones you use for DJing. You should use closed-back, over-ear headphones with good noise isolation. If you use open-back mixing headphones, for example, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019d be able to hear your mix in a loud environment.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Do you need noise-cancelling headphones as a DJ?<\/h4><p>You don\u2019t need noise-cancelling headphones to DJ \u2013 you just need headphones with good <strong>noise isolation<\/strong>. While noise-cancelling headphones could be a good option, they're often more expensive, and you just need headphones that will block out enough of the outside world so you can focus on your mix.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Final thoughts<\/h3><p>There are lots of DJ headphones to choose from, ranging in price and features.
