the green pioneer HDJ-1000 headphones that Fabian Strong was wearing I believe.

You could give me a pair of Ultrasone DJ 1 Pro Headphones...

With their S-Logic Surround Sound ..Ultra Low Emission Technologies..
they sound great .. look great.. and are worth every penny over big name headphone makers

I own a pair of their HFI 700-DVD and they sound really amazing compared to both the Sony 700DJ and the PioneerHDJ-1000 cans

depends on what you want in a headphone

so it's really hard to say whether one headphone is better than others, because every DJ has own preference.

I love the HD25. Looks like something out of Fisher Price, but it's light, ear cups are large enough for my small ears for fully enclosed from outside noise, I haven't used an another headphone has better sound quality.
but others might not like the HD25

My 2nd choice is MDR 7506. It's lasted over 20yrs for a reason

If it matters to you, the HD25s won the DJTech Awards 2007 Headphones category.

for a good reason! it cost an arm and a leg!

also there is a need to differentiate between DJ headphones (for actual DJing) and studio monitor headphones (for productions)

not that you can't use studio monitors for djing

You can, but I don't recommend it - not the headphones anyways; the speaker monitors are fine though.

I've tried using my BeyerDynamic DT770s (studio headphones) for mixing - I find it picks out the wrong elements when DJing. Just personal opinion though.

HD 280s are DJ headphones, not studio monitors. Even the high-end Sennheiser headphones are "audiophile" types, not reference monitors. That Sony model is sort of in between, being decent but not great for a variety of applications.

Reference headphones are something like the Beyerdynamic DT100 or DT770 (which I hate), or the AKG K271 or K240. You would not want to DJ with those. They reveal all of the high frequencies and don't do anything to clean up the sound, so your ears would be bleeding after several hours of constant playback. Something like the Sennheiser HD 600 would give similar results, but not as harsh on the highs, which makes them better for casual listening but not as good for production.
