Afrojack monitors a mix on Barefoot MicroMain 27 Studio Monitors in the studio he is in, "...FC Walvisch, a studio located about 8 kilometers outside the center of Amsterdam." The original post is here: http://jacobschulman.com/post/34766950354/in-the-studio-with-afrojack
On the left of this Twitter photo from Afrojack's studio, one can spot a Blue Snowball microphone.
From his interview with Image-Line: "Right now my production environment is mostly my laptop and Beyerdynamic DT pro 880 headphones but in my studio i have... Moog Lil Phatty..."
"Hardware…I have no synthesizers or anything, just a big quadcore computer with two 22” screens, a bigass m-audio midi controller / keyboard, focus rite saffire soundcard, m-patch 2 volume controller and 4 KRK Speakers, 2 rokit 8s..."
In this case, given the date of this article (12/23/09), it's likely to be the G2 model of Rokit 8s.
In this photo, Afrojack can be seen preparing visuals for one of his shows using Resolume Arena 4.
Afrojack uses the PSP Audioware PSP Vintage Warmer2 plugin for his music production, as shown in his Instagram post captioned "Ghostproducing my own tracks #reallife."

In an interview with Image Line (FL studio) he says: "Right now my production environment is mostly my laptop and Beyerdynamic DT pro 880 headphones but in my studio i have a Virus TI, Moog Lil Phatty, Korg kaosillator, Yamaha Motif rack XS, and even though I'm ripping sounds from here non stop, my synths mainly come out the Sylenth1 VST."
In this Instagram photo Afrojack is wearing the Bose QuietComfort 25 QC25 headphones. They are distinguishable by the blue strip next to the ear cushions, and the way the band attaches to the ear cups. He posted this Sept 2015. The photo is captioned, "Keeping the beats going after my set w/@TMobile's #MusicFreedom! #TomorrowWorld"
In this Instagram Afrojack is on a plane about to land and play Nocturnal Wonderland festival (Sept 2015). Judging by FL Studio and Mixed In Key running on his MacBook Pro, he's putting the finishing touches on his DJ set. He says, "Touching down, ready #Nocturnal" (apparently judging by the Instagram comments he's watching American Dad on his laptop as well ;-) )
Afrojack posted this photo of his studio setup in which you can see at least three Gross Beat windows open on his laptop screen.
