Is there a reason you are after DJ headphones in particular? Without having heard them, I can tell you that they are probably very bass and treble happy. Their midrange is probably not that great. Grado makes 'phones at $95 and $150 that would give much better all around performance.

I've got the Grado SR-80s (Thanks Brandon), and I think they sound great, especially for the price.

Senheisser are good quality and are the entry level for sound work better then sony anyway

I am a personal fon of Sony mdr 600's. they are nice and snug and comfy. the 700's are good too, they fit real tightly on ya, but are a little more stiff.

The Stantons are ggod too...alot like th e700's I found.

But unless your DJ'ng, why do you need DJ headphones?
