Glow Asks the Hard Questions
A new series that’ll come out whenever we get enough material, “Ask the DJ” is exactly what the title says: We ask a bunch of artists the same question and get to see what they’re all about.
This first installment showcases the headphone choice of a variety of house, techno and trance artists including Gareth Emery, Pierce Fulton, EDX, Manufactured Superstars and more.
The question of which headphones are best is one that will be asked for as long as DJs need to wear them (Steve Angello, you are exempt). The IDMAs at WMC include ‘Best Headphone’ category. Here are the previous winners:
2012: Pioneer – HDJ-2000
2011: Pioneer – HDJ 2000
2010: Pioneer – HDJ 2000
But this a poll voted on mostly by fans. Artists more than likely don’t have time to vote (trust us, we know). As you can tell by their answers, only Blake Jarrell and George Acosta are using Pioneers.
By our count, V-Moda (Crossfade) or Sennheiser (HD 25 II) are the way to go.

I did a write up on headphones for DJ’s as well and found the V-moda’s and Sennheisers very popular among DJ’s too – anything that gives great sound quality while shutting out outer noise makes pretty good headphones for a DJ.
