a nice pair of in-ear monitors will have good sound to them...but don't crank them...you'll go deaf before you know it...reason for in-ear monitors is so that you don't need to crank the sound to reference what your doing.

i use my sony mdr700dj ones for casual listing on the computer and they are nice...i like the pads on the cups that they cover my entire ear so it doesnt feel like its smooshed between smaller cups on other $20 dollar headphones. if its for lesuire listing...i personally wouldnt drop $200+ for good sounding headphones just for listning here and there

go to riteaid..they have a nice pair of headphones there for 20... they did the job for 2 years or so....

get some good open ear headphones by senn.

dj headphones are just that dj headphones. good isolation and loud, thats about it. they are not the best for personal listening.

The term 'dj headphones' normally means they are crap, heavy, overpriced, bulky and liable to break because of stupid plastic swivel joints.
Look at the best two pairs on the market- Sennheiser Hd 25 and Sony mdrv 7506 - neither is advertised as 'Dj headphones' yet they absolutely piss on every single other pair on the market in every possible way, both for Dj use AND personal/home listening.
Get one of those two and you won't regret it I promise you.

I don't really need to say anything else.

do research on Closed headphones and you'll see what that means

Yep open ear headphones sound better, but DJs need isolation for working in loud environments.
