We looked at several aspects when choosing the best headphones, from objective measures such as physical dimensions and design to subjective considerations of look and feel. Though we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy criteria that suit most people, thereby reducing the confusion of choice.
While you may find a headphone for any aesthetic preference, we looked for headphones that had simple, elegant designs - ones that would appeal to most people - rather than models that adhered to specific aesthetic choices.
Note: It doesn't mean that the headphones that aren't mentioned here are bad. We picked these because these will help most of the people. If you have very specific preferences, we suggest you consider one of the below-mentioned products as a starting point before finalizing your pick.

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate headphone. The sony pro dj headphone is exactly that - it's a simple headphone that hits all the right notes. The ear cups on the mDR v55's are more comfy than the Sony MDR. They both have great equalizers and you can make the Sonys even more amazing. The pads that go over your ear could be a bit bigger and they only come with an 1/8" stereo plug, so you will have to buy an adapter for most dj mixers. Even at low volume, these sound full and robust. It is a bit bass biased but does not compromise the sound quality.
The bass especially is clearly heard but not boosted, so you don’t have bass drowning out the music. It would be a good pair of headphones for working out or jogging if they weren't so damned squeaky.
Why We Like This:
Flat cord wont get tangled easily
Straight, not removable and supports 3.5 mm stereo mini jack
Flexibility helps with neck and ear comfort and case storage
Very solid pair of headphones with great bass and great sound quality

The numark pro dj headphone's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This headset will definitely compliment any extra amplifier you have installed on your devices. It is great with a relatively impressive sound stage to boot. A higher buffer rate has a higher latency whilst using less processing power and a smaller buffer rate has a lower latency whilst using more processing power. Its nice and lightweight, and the padding is comfortable.
The buffer size relates to the amount of time it takes for your computer to process any incoming audio/MIDI signal. They feel pretty well made and are reasonably comfortable to wear for an hour or two at a stretch. The headphones are very sensitive so they can get really loud if needed by the DJ occasionally. It is a great pair for someone who is a dj occasionally.

Loud, fairly tough, great for cash-strapped djs
Allowing you to connect this product to virtually any denon dj mixer
Feels very flimsy and not comfortable for long periods
