Some pretty good headphones, not good for mixing, but flexible

While they may not be the most comfortable headphones in the world, these dj headphones are pretty damn useful. There's plenty of bass (yay!), and they are pretty lightweight. Lots of other amazon users also recommend you silicon spray the hinges, and I'm about to go do that because they have started squeaking.

Not too noticeable, when music is playing, but it's a little annoying on a set of otherwise good cans.

So far this keyboard has been really great.

Mapping macros to it in FL has been amazing. Once setup it works fine, although I don't have it setup full time on my desk so it is constantly moving. I've made some tracks with it so far, and it's really helped my workflow speed up in some ways.

Couldn't have done that track without the keyboard, it's super useful when it comes to recording automation.

A few software things to recommend- FPC is a little drum and pad synth, and it's hella useful because you can use the pads to the fullest extent. I'd recommend making some drum kits when you're not busy. Also useful for sampling. Also, when you are moving things, just map them to the mod wheel. They will remove the mapping from the previous parameter and you can modify things with the mod wheel very easily. Pitch wheel doesn't work so well in FL, but hey, what can you do?

I got this for ~$70 US, and if you can find it on ebay around that price, go for it. A worthy addition to any pro's setup.
