Performing: Buy deejay kit	Print

05 Headphones The choice of headphones is huge but what you need is a pair of closed ear headphones with a 'can' that covers your whole ear.
"Play out as much as possible, whenever, wherever, even for no dough!" DJ Cameo	Volume levels in clubs go way beyond what you are used to at home so closed ear phones are a must. Sennheiser HD125's seem to be the deejay's choice with Beyer Dynamic DT100's coming a close second.
Both these makes have a good level of loudness that works well both at home, in the studio and in the clubs. You can't go wrong by investing between £80 and £150 in a decent pair of headphones. Most DJ stores will let you try gear out, so check headphones for comfort level, loudness and clarity.
