Top quality headphones?

[Aratron]

sorry about my earlier post, i forgot you were discussing production headphones.
am i right in thinking that for djing they may not be best?

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)

the swing is what you dance to.. the overall feeling of how the beats, bass and everything else make you wanna shake your hips. If the music makes you wanna jack in a very staccato fashion it probably hasnt got music swing or shuffle. If you feel like you wanna move your hips to it then it has more shuffle. if you wanna immediately get up and start doing ya thang then it sprobably james brown.
