Advice on Hardware/Software

Hey folks,

So i’ve recently discovered my passion for DJing, and started playing around with programs like Virtual DJ, TP2 demo, Ableton demo, Mixxx etc.

However, do I feel like i need better equipment (Hardware/Software).
After a lot of research I came to the conclusion that the Vestax VCI 400 (ean gold edition) http://store.djtechtools.com/vci-400-ean-golden-edition.html

combined with Traktor Pro 2 Amazon.com: Native Instruments Traktor Pro 2 : Musical Instruments

and these Keyboard Covers Keyboard Covers – DJ TechTools

are what i need.

Surely, will i not be able to use them to their full potential at day one, but sooner or later i will learn how to use it properly. Since becoming a good dj is my goal i would have to invest that much money in good equipment sooner or later anyway, so i might as well do it now.
I will connect it to my Macbook Pro.

Any recommendation on GOOD headphones?

It would be great to hear some advice, and things to consider which i may have not thought about yet.

Thank you everyone.

Mark

Thanks for the advice on the headphones. Good to have some options to choose from.

As far as the Vestax VCI 400 goes, is 799$ with a 150$ rebate form a good deal? Making it 650$ for the VCI 400.

To me it seems to be an awesome deal?!?!
