Buy Low-Cost DJ’s Headphones with Top Quality
Be sincere!
Tell me how many hours you spent imagining yourself as the protagonist and responsible that the party in which you are performing as a DJ is out of control and everyone is dancing to the rhythm of the prime time you have created!
The paparazzi are waiting for you at the exit! Girls cannot wait for you to take off your headphones and get off the stage! Oh yeah, and your next client waits for you a few meters below your stage to offer you endless parties! But chill, keep milking that song!
The scenario I just described is not impossible but what it is indeed almost impossible is that you become a famous DJ if you do not control your equipment well and you make sure to get the most of what is in the market. So you can use all that on your ride out!
In this article, I will show you that with a decent pair of DJ’s Headphones you can make your talent AND your equipment work in your favor!
But first things first
If there are 3 elements that I always looked for in my headphones these were:
A) The response to frequency, the more sensitive your hearing instrument is, the more intense the sound.
B) The weight.
C) The impedance, what you must understand is that the smaller the impedance the better the volume.
Let’s look into the headphones:

Low cost! Good!

Conclusion
I have been in many places and in many parties as the spectator and as DJ and there were always common elements that made those parties very successful. The best DJs I know always took advantage of their sacrifice track or MAJOR song on their repertoire! Do That!
They were always able to “read” their audience, although it is true that we as DJ’s have a structure in our show most of the time, it is always important to be able to “feel” and “read” your audience. Eye contact is important in performance!
Finally, I always enjoy the parties I was in and with the help of the right equipment you can be sure to go spinning it all night long!
