DJ Headphones VS. Studio Headphones: What's the Difference?
To the untrained eyes (and ears!) they may seem similar, but there are some important differences between them: because they've been designed for different purposes, they work in slightly different ways: a studio headphone is designed to deliver a more natural, "flat" response, ideal for recording and mixing, where sound fidelity is essential.
A DJ headphone, on the other hand, is designed to deliver a punchier sound - with more bass and brighter treble, perfect to be used live in a loud environment.
Because they are designed to be used in rooms where music is played at loud volumes, they are traditionally closed-back headphones. More bass allows the DJ to hear the beats much better, which is crucial when doing a DJ set.
Dj's also prefer swivel headphones, because they can hold it to one ear only, while still listening to what's being played to the audience through the PA. This is a feature not required when recording or mixing.
