Topic: Can I DJ with dr dre beats studio headphones?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm looking into buying some headphones and my price range is about 100-250 USD. I was looking at the monster beats studio today at Best Buy and the sound was amazing. It was comfortable and the earpads swiveled so that you could listen easily only with one ear (ideal for DJing). My only reservation is, every site that I have been to has not recommended it. Nobody has said anything bad about it but it never comes up on any DJ equipment site. I'm wondering if this is because they aren't considered DJ headphones? Any input on these headphones or any other headphones that you might recommend would be appreciated!

You can dj with any headphones you want its up to you which one to use. I dj with a 20 year old pair of koss porta pros
 
I agree, you can pretty much use any set of headphones. I have a friend who uses the ear drop type of headphones. Make sure they are comfortable, sound good, sturdy and make sure the ear cushions are made with quality material. For most headphones that will be the first thing to become worn out.
 
i say try some sony's and pioneers
 
I use Allen & Heath Xone XD-53. I love them...
 
The beats are good headphones, but they aren't built as sturdy as a good pair of DJ cans. Also, DJ phones tend to have less highs and more mids and lows to help mixing.

I'd suggest going to Guitar Center or something and trying out some real DJ phones before buying those.
