Ewwww none lol, get some proper headphones brand for DJing purposes.
Brand makes little difference. I have a really nice set of Bose headphones I use when I listen to music at home, but noise canceling isn’t a feature I need for DJing, and I’d be really upset if those headphones “walked off” at an event. I have two different sets for DJing... one’s an Audio Technica and the other is Sennheiser. Both work great, but really, all you need headphones for is to find a queue point for the next track. Once it’s set, you can take the phones off. If you have queue points pre-set, headphones are hardly needed.
I know other DJ’s who like Sony’s.

Ey there! Thanks for your insight...
As for "Noise Cancelling", actually that's something I'm curious about... meaning, in terms of how useful/helpful that said "feature" is, especially when you're on the booth/stage with loud systems environment set up... or simply just curious IF that said "cancellation" really complements a DJ's ear vs. surroundings/acoustics?
I'm a JBL fan but Headphones??? No!!!
Audio Technica ath-m50 seem to be known as the best headphone for price. The Sonys above, although snap a bit easier (I've seen so many of those as a 1 cup) are tried and trusted. Sennheiser too, if you like the smaller cup (which I don't). Technics make an improved swivel design over the Sony and ATH, more robust but I've never compared the sound.
I use Beyerdynamic 990 for studio/production work and I fancy some AKG's for my second set, both open back. I need to get a new closed back set for recording as my ATH used for DJ'ing are currently 1 cupped.
Another question...
So aside from Technics, which (known/reliable) brands you'd recommend that uses "telephone cables"?
- co'z I prefer these more over the "straight ones" (in my personal opinion)
