Alright, recently i read this article on Lifehacker about good, cheap headphones by Monoprice! The article claims that the ones they reviewed (9927/9960/9963) were "A steal at $7, with quality you'd expect from $20 and $30 models".

Not sure about the quality for a gigging DJ, maybe for chilling at the house though.

I use Monoprice for cables. They have excellent prices for IEC power cables, black electric extension cords, etc.

I have no clue, I personally don't own any of their headphones, as i live in the UK. But if the DJ Headphones is pretty good i may consider buying a pair. The fact that cord detaches is great in headphones! It means that rather than fork out for a new pair of headphones if your cord breaks, you just pay for a new cord. And i'm sure everyone has a spare 3.5mm cable lying around to check if it's a cable problem or headphones.

I wouldn't even consider using cheap headphones for gigging! But it would be brilliant for a bedroom DJ who wants to hear more of the song rather than a constant rumbling noise!

Came in to post this. Im currently in the market for some new phones for djing cus my JVC HAFX700s are great for listening but theyre way too heavy and the isolation is poor.
