these looks pretty sick, but a bit expensive... are weSC worth the money?

do a search there is a good thread about headphones with some suggestions.

Sony MDR-V700DJ, almost an industry standard at this point.

The MDR700s are great headphones, love them to bits, but they _will_ break on you after a year (almost) guaranteed, and they all break in the same place. Please check the headphone thread for more robust alternatives first.

I know they can break, I still have my first pair from over 5 years ago... granted it took a couple zip ties and superglue to keep them going. Same thing goes for the Pioneer HDJ-1000.
Unless he wants to step it up $$$ wise, that problem seems accross the board for most DJ headphones in that price range. Now, the Pioneer HDJ-2000 has joints made of metal instead of plastic... but they are $349

I got my Sennheiser HD215 for $85. Here are a few threads that will help you on your way.

I've got the WESC STRECH ARMSTRONG'S, i cant really complain about them, i will say they are not the most subtlest (plenty of colours to pick as well)

As for the sound quality . . . They are good, they have big head cans so it does deafen 'outside noise'.

The only thing i've noticed with them is after prolong use they begin to be a tad uncomfortable, but i could just have an unusual head shape

The cord length is good and long, its coiled too which i like as i wont get in the way but still gives you the length to move around.

Hope this helps.

I did have the Sony's but they did break after around 18 months. However treat them like a baby and they will last.

I'm looking to purchase a set up headphones, preferably around the $100 mark. Look is essential but sound quality even more so. Let me know what you guys are using and if you have any recommendations.

ive had a pair of sennheiser hd 280 pro headphones for about a year now. i like them. they are comfortable to wear for a long time, they have good flat monitor sound response so you hear everything but not too much of anything.

these are the ones i use and they work perfectly fine

I haven't been djing for very long and wanted to get a cheap pair of headphones to get things rolling. I bought a pair of Gemini's for $10 which seem to be identical to the Sonys DJFAR has
