    I would not use any of the above equipment for DJing purposes.

    I don’t know about the speakers, but please do NOT buy ANY of those headphones. Especially for DJing. You are better off without headphones than buying those three. I have owned all of them and none of them will give you the volume you need, the bass you need or even the comfort you need. Believe me, I have been disappointed by all of the three.

    And even for a beginner they are all very bad.

    Get some Sennheiser SH-201, they cost 20 bucks and are awesome headphones for DJing.

    If you just want some speakers for you at home to start out the some M-Audio AV 40s.

    Specifically buying that stuff for DJing would be waste of money. Best to buy the 201s and save up for some decent speakers. I personally use the AV-40s that Terry mentions and they work great for me.

    If you want some other options, there are great reviews on this site and I also found the following article to be very insightful:

    Yeah, the 201s have great sound for 20 bucks, I am quite happy with mine.

    The 201s (and with a bit more boom the 202s) are that rare exception where something that is actually too cheap for the (sound) quality it delivers. The proverbial hidden gem if you like.

    So, do NOT for one second think you will find any other headphones in that price range to even come close.

    Either go for the 201s (I wouldn’t go 202s either) or start saving up for high end (think 150 euro plus) headphones.

    If I may say so, it is worth looking at the Sennheiser HD-180’s. Basically they are the HD-201’s for a fraction of the price. I have researched somewhat and found out that Sennheiser launched 180’s in only a select few countries of Asia and some others. They say that they are the 201’s launched under a different name to boost their business or something I didn’t quite understand. But if the 180’s are available in your area, go for them.

    A fraction of 20 euro? You mean they are giving them away?

    Here in India, the price of the 201’s is 1500 INR while the 180’s are about 700 INR, that’s about 10$. So yeah, you can say so. I wrote to Sennheiser about the 2 models, they replied that both are identical except for the frequency response. They seem like a no brainer choice as a first set to me.
