Turnstile Audio Passenger TAPH700 Pro Closed-Back Studio Monitoring Headphones
Written by Brian Stroner:
"The earcups are very comfortable and they isolate quite well. The isolation brings the sound into your head and allows you to focus on exactly what you are listening to with minimal outside distractions. Overall, I enjoyed the listening experience across multiple forms of digital content. While the 300 and 500 series have their unique character and sound profiles, the 700 made a transition into an upgraded class of comfort, sound control, and quality."

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro Circumaural Closed-Back Monitor Headphones
Written by Enon Avital:
"Almost two decades in and many headsets later, I find myself returning to the HD 280 PRO time and time again. I have no idea how they do it, but the sound balance is near perfect across every range, and for every style of music. Nothing sounds overdone or too distant, and even the most delicate parts come forward in just the right way. Plus: the headset is lightweight, and comfortable enough for wearing all day long. "

Turnstile Audio Passenger TAPH500 Pro Closed-Back Studio Monitoring Headphones
Written by Brian Stroner:
"These are very lightweight and require zero adjustments out of the box. The bass in the TAPH500 felt smooth and accurate while the mids prevailed in a complementary fashion to the crisp and clear top-end. Also, with the large ear cups, these offer some extra breathing room which I like because it not only adds depth to the sound, but it allows for a longer wearing time and listening time."

DJ & Studio Headphones for Best Performance
Whether you’re working in an intimate studio environment or DJing at a big party, you have plenty of headphone options to choose from. For superior sound quality and features like noise-cancellation, comfort, and multi-use flexibility, you’ll need professional headphones designed to fit your use. Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind when choosing the right DJ and studio headphones.
Earpiece style
Choosing over-ear, on-ear, or in-ear fit isn’t just a matter of preference, because it actually relates to how you’ll use your headphones. For long sessions in the studio or at a party, over-ear headphones give the best balance of comfort and sound isolation. Some in-ear headphones can deliver good sound isolation, but they’re often less comfortable for long-term use. On-ear headphones are lighter and more compact, but they may feel uncomfortable after long use and won't provide quite as much sound isolation.
Open or closed back
Open-back studio or DJ headphones let you stay tuned in to any ambient sounds, which is a useful feature for DJs who want to check on the crowd while they mix. A closed-back style isolates the sound more effectively and prevents others from hearing what you’re hearing, too. This is helpful in the studio when it’s important to hear only what’s picked up by the microphones.
Noise cancellation and more
Features like noise-cancellation, built-in microphones for calls or talkback, and swivel ear cups can help make your DJ or studio headphones more useful and comfortable. Filter your search results at Adorama by feature, or by any of the most trusted brands like Behringer, Sennheiser, Audio Technica, and more.
