good headphones djing image
Harry
This might sound like a dumb question, but I was wondering why there are headphones specifically for DJing and live sound and headphones for personal use.
Answer
Well,usually at the club,people dancing,whatever,while the DJ has the huge headphones. The purpose? Simple. He's making sure it has the right beat. If there's something wrong,then he'll change the song. He can sometime add beats,but only if he is a DJ pro. And if the song is totally wrong,and every song is not working,he'll put on some karaoke. He has the headphones so he can listen better,because sometimes,the problem,if there's a short buzz sound,and nobody in the club can barely hear it,and the DJ hears it with the headphones,due to it's so huge.

Answer
I'm going to answer this with a link to a set but I'll also advise against it later so stick with me.
First off, a site I know from overseas has a "beginner" Numark set for 169 at http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR42703 -- HOWEVER, having been there, I'll say this.. While you may want to start DJ'ing now (and I don't ever want to tell anyone NOT to) if you can do it, save your money and buy quality equipment.
The set I linked above is a Numark belt-drive set, a *very* basic two channel mixer and a very cheap set of headphones. While this may sound great to you right now, as you're anticipating getting in to DJing, it won't last long with that equipment. The first thing that'll go will be the headphones. If they don't break, you'll soon realize they don't give you the full dynamic range and sound muddy, which is NOT a good thing. Then you'll see that the belt drive tables do NOT respond well to adjustments, whether manual or through the pitch control. Belt drives are MUCH slower when it comes to adjusting than are direct drive tables.
I'd say that if it's possible, wait around a bit and see if you can find an entry level set of direct-drive tables to learn on. Not only are direct drive tables the standard everwhere, they're much easier to learn on and you'll be less likely to give up or be discouraged when using them.
Good luck and all I can say is no matter what route you choose to follow, PRACTICE. Practice really does mean more than the equpiment you have but starting off "decent" helps you that much more.
I'll leave with stating the fact that EVERY one of the DJs that come to my club either force themselves to start on direct drive (meaning they save money until they can afford them and study other DJs in the meantime) or buy belt drive and very shortly after sell them in order to buy direct drive. However, they always sell them at a loss so it doesn't make much sense for me to recommend that way.
Good luck and keep the train on track. ;)
