Headphones: Your Window to the Beats
A good pair of headphones is non-negotiable. They allow you to monitor tracks before transitioning them into your live mix. Comfort and clarity are your top priorities here.
Tips for Pickin’ the Perfect Pair:
- Sound Isolation: Closed-back headphones like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X help block outside noise.
- Comfortable Fit: You’ll be wearing these for hours, so cushy ear pads and an adjustable headband are lifesavers.
- Durability: DJ life can get rough, so go for sturdy, high-quality builds.
- Swivel Cups: Headphones with swivel earcups make one-ear monitoring a breeze during live sets.
Pro Tip: Test headphones before buying to ensure they handle bass-heavy tracks without distortion.
