Must Have Features Of Best DJ Headphones

DJs have specific needs when it comes to headphones. Here are the 8 must have features of good DJ headphones to help you choose the best DJ headphones.

If you are a DJ or want to be a DJ, then one of the first products you have to buy is a pair of good DJ headphones almost by obligation. Some years ago it was relatively easy to choose a quality headset because there were very few professional brands manufactured decent headphones and focused choice between 4 and 8 different models.

However, since the advent of MP3 players and especially smartphones, manufacturers have flooded the market with all kinds of headphones whose only common link is that most are sold as special DJ when actually very few such models are designed for intensive use by the DJ. Today we want to actually show the characteristics that best DJ headphones must comply. We will not focus on brands or models or anything that can distract you. Just what you should consider yourself to know if you are choosing a good helmet or not.
1. Frequency Range: It is calculated in Hz (hertz) and basically the audio spectrum perceived by the human ear. It is scientifically proven that the ear of a person perceives between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Anything above or below these values is not perceived sounds and if it does we just learned.
Good headphones should offer you low, very low, high and very high frequency detail and can hear any sound.
2. Impedance: Impedance is defined as the resistance of the circuit to the flow of electricity. It is measured in ohms (Ω) and you might find that in the case of headphones between lower is better because it is understood that the audio is passed as the player generates.
3. Sensitivity: it is measured in decibels (dB) and basically means how hard you can get to hear the headphones. You need to be careful because the human ear suffers irreversible damage when subjected to many decibels over a given period of time.
4. Ergonomics: The headset should be comfortable, be aware that you will spend many hours with them so it is important that they have the padded headband and earphones themselves.
Uncomfortable helmets will trouble you at the meeting and it could take all night putting and taking off your headphones.
Most headsets today are self-adjusting, so you make sure that the headset is perfect for your head and especially for your ears.
05. Construction: Are you going to use your headphones frequently? In the case, poor quality products will last only a few months or even weeks. The DJ by definition makes one end of everything around you use, so it is logical to think that the handset has to be designed to withstand all kinds of situations.
The elements that suffer most often the lining pads and headband, however good they are, it is normal that you have to take some time for service to change these elements throughout the lifetime of the product (some brands are incorporating Ethiopian sheepskin, so they is supposedly more durable than other materials commonly used by industry).
If they are professional headphones you do not have to worry because they are designed for a qualified technician to make the change without much problem. But if it's a cheap headphone we doubt that the manufacturer not even has that kind of responses.
06. Stereo: It seems silly, but there are many headsets on the market that work in mono, that is, not play two audio signals at the same time but one.
Some may wonder that he wants two audio signals when the DJs usually use only one of the handsets and not both. The answer is simple, there are many songs that if they are not heard in stereo mode can cause you do not know where it begins and ends the song correctly and therefore can not apply the CUE in the right time.
07. Cable: It is highly recommended that the cable is connected on only one side of the headphones and prevent it from rolling while you're clicking and while if it breaks easier to change a new one.
Most modern headphones come with cable that can be connected and disconnected by the user.
We also recommend that the cable length is at least 1 meter, if less will have many problems to move around the cabin and increase the chances that you give pulls the cable and it can get even from.
There are models that come with the phone type cable, which is nothing more than the typical cable that can be stretched. While it is true that lately is putting a lot of fashionable standard cable that can not stretch. At this point it's a matter of taste, and there is no technical reason to recommend you to choose one or another type of cable.
8. Connector Type: This section is very clear. The ideal is that your future come with minijack headphone jack adapter connector and in this way you make sure you can use it both as a professional mixer with your laptop for example.
It is also recommended that the connector is covered with gold, as the metal most conducive audio signal.
Conclusion: 
Excellent headset would be one of the first investments you should ask yourself as a DJ. The differences between the good and the bad are abysmal. A quality headset guarantees you a longer use. You can use them as a very competent service that will make the life of the headphones is lengthened more than expected.
We are already preparing various posts with comparative headphones to shed a little more light on this crucial issue and thus help you choose the headset that best suit you according to your tastes and especially your budget.
