2. Headphones: Your Best Friend
Good headphones are essential for beatmatching and monitoring your mixes. They let you hear every detail, even if the crowd (or your roommates) can’t.
- Audio-Technica ATH-M20X (~$50): Great sound quality without the hefty price tag.
- Sony MDR-7506 (~$100): Trusted by DJs and sound engineers everywhere.
3. Speakers: Optional but Nice to Have
If you’re just practicing, you can skip speakers and use headphones. But if you want to share your mixes or throw a small party, good speakers make a big difference.
- PreSonus Eris E3.5 (~$100): Compact and great for home use.
- Mackie CR3 (~$120): Perfect for small spaces with big sound.
