thanks once again for the input, any opinions on monitors or headphones?

[karter34]

bump. anyone have any monitor or headphone input?

You should buy a numark mixtrack, use traktor software and get Pioneer hdj-500 headphones.

For speakers you could some computorspeakers that you probably already have, or if you like to listen to music and see that you will use better speakers in the future even if your not djing a pair of M-audio bxm or KRK rockits 6'' perhaps fit in your budget.

hope that helps

I wouldn't waste money on cheap monitors. If you can't afford something decent use computer speakers or an old home hifi

ok thanks for the input. what qualifies as "decent" just so i know?

Id say tables and a mixer..... you will never truly know the feeling of "DJing" until you lock up your 1st proper beat matched mix on a set of beat up old tables and a beat up mixer .....

totally get where coming from bro... but that is something i will get to later down the line if i truly get into djing. right now im looking for a good intro set that i can easily sell if i decide to quit. Any second opinions on headphones anyone?

I love how no one uses technics anymore

Tons of people use Techs. Not sure if trolling.

KRKs, Event, Yamaha, Mackie etc.... Lot's of brands, but listen to some for yourself, speakers are subjective.


Basically double your budget....

ok. once again headphones anyone? can go bigger budget on these then previously stated, since my speakers are taken care of.
