Not vinyl, but not worse
I've been putting off buying these for a while, believing that my current setup of a pair of kontrol x1s with the laptop was superior. Wrong, how wrong. Simply plugging in a usb stick to one the xdjs and being able to access all the tracks across both of them, and no laptop in sight, is a breath of fresh air, and these units give a wealth of options to match any DJying style. For the purists, you can beat-match like it's 1999 and the difference in price since these units don't take antequated CDs is a win-win.

Small form, great utility
This is a no-nonsense, practical mixer, that I use to allow me to comfortably plug my headphones when at the computer, and various things that I have close by such as a couple of synths and an ableton push 2. It does what it says on the tin and with clean enough channels to deliver an unmodified sound. If you are in the market for a small footprint workhorse mixer then look no further.

Astonishingly Good
After realising the state of my Bose QC Noise-Cancelling headphones, I wanted to try something a bit different, and boy, these Momentum 2 Over-ear headphones shine with clarity, bottom end warmth and an expansive sound to match. Throw in the fact that they sound so so close to the same level in wireless mode and you will find it hard to wear anything else afterwards. Super comfortable, extemely practical, with some nice touches such as play control via the switches on the right speaker. The best headphones I've had to date.

Portable quality
After spending countless hours upon hours with Bose QC25 and Bose QC20 in-ear phones, I wanted a pair of phones for those times where noise wasn't an issue, and these do not disappoint, rather, they sparkle. I debated for a while whether or not to get these and I'm glad I finally came around. Highly recommended.

Incredibly capable mixer
You won't find this in the DJ booth in any superclub, but don't be fooled by it's individualism. This mixer is very capable and allows you to do things that you couldn't do with other setups. The slice tool is probably the stand-out feature of this mixer, as well as it's direct control of serato's effect out of the box. It's equally at home with Traktor, although this requires some additional setup, but all-in-all, a fun and professional mixing tool.

DJ set in your hand
Plug this in to your ipad and voilá! Rock that house party with a professional dj setup. With the ability to cue the next track as with normal DJ gear, and with the effects available at the touch of a dial, you really can mix it up at your next gig. Super portable, super sounding, super cool product.

Noise reduction par excellence
Sonically great headphones, although the outstanding feature is the noise cancelling. Nothing comes close to these headphones for being able to focus. I've used these in the noisiest settings, from long flights to New York, to coffee bars in Barcelona. These cans are amazing.

Great effects
Looper, delays, grain shifter, this thing has it all. There's even a vocoder and enough banks to store a multitude of patterns and settings. Although known for it's place in electronic production setups, it's equally at home processing guitar effects. Lots of fun to use.

Superb mixer
A great professional mixer. Battle-tested on the beach in Barcelona, and beer-tested at more rowdy beer-flowing gigs. The sound quality is A1, and the effects, especially the filter are club-level and useful. The one thing this is missing is the ability to assign effects per track, but for most DJs, not a big issue given the ability to use controllers, such as the Traktor X1 to do that and more. Totally recommend this mixer.

More than solid headphones
A great-sounding pair of headphones. The response curve across the spectrum is adequate for listening to a wide range of music. The bass response is okay, if not great, which some may prefer for it's more accurate response. Trebles are very present and sit well with the rest of the mix. The build is solid, as one would expect from ATH, and comfortable to wear all day when listening to music at the computer.
