Headphones are headphones really. The way that they differ is in the usage mostly. I wouldnt take my DT770's out DJing because they're just too damn expensive and not really built for the rough and tumble of DJing. Im sure they would work fine, but really i dont need that level of detail when DJing, i just need to hear the kick, mostly the hats (I mix on the hats and the swing, not the kick usually)
