The CUE1 is a looker, they are light and comfortable with tight bass, but everything else about the sounds sucks ass - mids, vocals, synths, hi hats, percussions, everything sounds muddy as hell

I went through an exercise of testing the top 4 recommended cans out there. https://djlou.tech/the-best-dj-headphones/

I probably have about 20 pairs of headphones but I keep going back to the HD25s for DJing. Over ears are too bulky for DJing (for me), but I think the main reason is, I know the sound and how it tran

HDJ CUE1 are also perfect for home use

I think it depends entirely on whether you want to mix in headphones or via your speakers. My speakers are on the smaller side, it’s fun to blast music but my nicer headphones give a far more accura

I got the beyerdynamics 1990 pro 250ohm … I’d suggest just get any cheap headphones that work. HD25 looks crappy to me but seem popular.

If the point of this sub is mainly to help beginners then... I started with a set of Audio-Technica \~$300AUD - the sound was ok (I thought) but chose them mainly because I rated the camo design.

Not to hijack this thread but could someone do this but for headphones?
r/Beatmatchneutral2
If you can use your laptop to output sound I’d try that just to get a feel of the “this is what I hear, and this is what the audience hears”. I started on Serato / cheapo headphones / DDJ-REV1 as a ho

>I know it's technically possible since I can cue master on headphones, but won't it be too hard to handle for beginner? I started like that and it's been 3 years in headphones. My room needs a lot o
