i think you should get a set of 1200s and forget about that piece of crap behringer djx700 and get a vestax or a numark mixer for that money. this is coming from someone who likes behringer's studio consoles. their studio mixers are nice but their dj mixers are shit. it's just a djm600 knock off. the faders suck compared to the 600, the effects are useless, the eq's have deeper cuts but they aren't set up at the same frequency points as the 600s. the 600s eq section sounds much better. and besides, it's just lame to have a knock off. as for the headphones, well that's really a personal choice. i've used the 700s and they're fine for mixing in a club, i use the hdj100s but that's just my personal choice. a pair of headphones is not going to improve or worsen your mixing skills as long as they are a decent pair that get's loud and stays clean.

I like the MDRV700 over the HDJ1000, it is really a matter of preference. I've used both. I own the V700.

I like the TTX1 over the 1200s. I've used both. I own the 1200s.

I'm buying a djx700 so I can't tell you how it is until the shop FINALLY GETS THEM IN! I've been waiting ALL WEEK!

if you want some trully accurate monitor phones get the ultrasone hfi-650 trackmaster at meier audio (type meier audio into the yahoo search). they block lots of sound and are foldable... and low radiation too the v700's aren't really very accurate.

No offense, but why does everyone diss the Behringer ? Not everyone is made of money, and the mixer seems like the best bang for the buck. Your recommending mixers twice as expensive because it's too "lame to own a knockoff" ?

i dont think that anybody really thinks that the behringer djx700 is as good, or the same as the pioneer djm 500/600. its a four channel mixer with gains and eqs, and some effects that you may or may not like or even be able use for $200. a bunch of people on this board have the djx 700 and like it. puh-leeze stop trying to compare it to the djm 500/600. your right, they look alike. whatever. if your looking to buy a $200 mixer the behringer is a good choice. i dont think that anybody with a $1000+ that was gonna get a DJM600 is going to stop and buy a behringer instead (and vise versa).

another Technics SL1200MKII/M3D
2 cdj's... either techs or pioneer or denons...

I also own both a Tech 12 and a pair of TTX1s and I prefer the TTX1s (which is why I bought them) over the Techs. Stick with 'em
