Skullcandy Lowrider SC S5LWCZ Over The Ear Headphone to buy. Im confused between these two, if any one of you can suggest me a good one comparitively close to the cost of both of these, and if i can use any one of these which will be good for me.

can you say what other brands are available?

I have gone through few headphones this year and the once I have now are starting to break all were cheep so my next purcase will be pro dj headphones. Cheep headphones are fine for listening to music you put them on and listen for some time. When you DJ you put them on and take them of 100+ times a set.

so true!! same happened to me. i had bought 60$ headphones and within 2-3 months of hardly using them every week, a piece broke and then some time later i noticed some clicking sound on higher volumes. i will be going for ath m50 or ath pro 700 mk2 soon!!!!!!!

i have researched a lot on the internet and have come through good reviews for sennheisers. so you can go for it.

Simply put…….I’ve been djing for over 25 years……..lately, I’ve been buying these cheap ass Numark headphones. I buy multiple sets cause they are so cheap and it’s always good to have a back up set. sound quality is adequate and they only cost 15-20 bucks! you are a beginner dj and I use these week after week for weddings and private events with no problems whatsoever.

as terry replied earlier, you can use anything as long as its serving the purpose. with all the studies on the internet so far i have found that djing is not about getting expensive gadgets but its just the art of keeping the crowd on the floor.
