are these good headphones for DJ use?

If you use one ear at a time I don't think they would be ideal unless you can find a replacement designed for that use. But they sound great and would recommend them for sound quality.

I can't say for sure, but I would assume so. They sound really good, bass highs and mids are balanced. The sound is crisps and they have noise cancelation. Not sure what requirements make good DJ headphones, but as far as how these headphones sound, they sound good and balanced.

Yes they are a good flat response. My son uses them to make beats. Can't very well EQ the track when the headphones are screwing things up. Beats Headphones suck for mixing and monitoring. But if you are running a sound board or mixing tracks, these will work very well.

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)

They actually rotate the other way- behind your ear. They lock in place and it's pretty snug so they're less likely to fall off, and they don't bleed much at all. However, if you're doing voice, I'd go with the HD 280, or maybe the HD 25 II if you're willing to shell out that much money. The soundscape is more flat, and they're the industry standard monitor headphones. Everything's going to sound a lot bassier than the mix actually has if you use the HD DJs, since they're designed more for club music than vocals and VA work.

They are perfect just for that. You will be able to hear music in real time real form. There are head phones that add extra bass and things of that nature but these headphones don't do that so if that's what you're expecting than I wouldn't suggest to purchase them. I even use these headphones to listen to music on other devices because you hear sounds and characteristics in music you wouldn't hear otherwise. Perfect for studio use whether home or professional.

Certainly-depending on how critical or how much of an audiophile you are. That is what I use them for-music through a receiver. They are not of Klipsh quality, but are fine as far as I am concerned.

No they're perfectly reasonable for an iPod or iPhone if you value the superior quality that these offer. Consider that people buy $300 Beats with inferior sound quality for the very same purpose only because of the image and marketing (see http://youtu.be/ZsxQxS0AdBY for a sensible explanation on the matter).

Hi William. I'm not a audiophile by any means, but the highs on these specific headphones seem to be okay for their price. Hope this helps.

they can be, but these are for DJ and studio use........I would get Bose headphones for that.......

Sure they can.They are a lil bit bass heavy which is great for DJ-ing and beatmatching, but i use them for regular listening a lot!

These headphones were designed and engineered from the ground up for DJs. The swiveling cups, the 50mm cans, the mini-xtr connection, the sound, etc. They are comfortable enough for regular listening, that the sound is not as rich as other headphones available.

Yes. Beats, Bose, etc are all overpriced consumer grade. If you want high quality get something pro audio techs use like Sennheiser, AKG, Audio-Technica, etc.

Absolutely! These are hands down the best headphones under $400 easy.. You will find yourself listening to them just as much.

Well, probably. They sound really good, I use them for DJ ing and they are pretty clear, so unless your hearing is totally shot; They sound better than your tv speakers probably.

It's almost like asking "are these the best shoes you can buy"? The answer depends on you and your intended purpose. Most headphones at this price point (and higher) are going to sound pretty good.
