2 pioneer DMP-555 cd players, ooh my god they are bad ass
1 pioneer DJM-3000 Mixer
2 JBL MP-225 speakers
2 cerwin vega t36-750's 1000 watts of bass in an 18 in sub *drooling*

My list starts with:
turntables: 1200 M3D

That mp3 Pioneer DMP-555 looks hot, but $1500 and it is features similarly to 600 and not cdj-1000...

2x Technics SL-1210 MK2
2x Blue Ortofon Nightclub
2x Pioneer CDJ-1000
1x Allen And Heath Xone:64 DJ MIxer
1x Technics RPDJ-1210 Headphones
4x EAW 1000 Watt Speakers
1x Matrix 1500 Watts Per Side Amplifier

I guess that should do.

My Equip!

2 * Technics Sl1200
2 * Stanton Trackmaster II
2 * Pioneer CDJ 500 LTD
1 * Pioneer DJM 500
1 * Sony MDR-V700DJ Headphones

Ok you want overkill, you will get it

- 4x SL1200 LTD with Gold Ortofons
- 1 Xone:464 coupled to a Mixwizzard console through the Sublink system (mixwizzard could be used for mics, or synths).
- Technics RPdj 1200,1210, Sennheiser HD-25, Sennheiser HD-280, Pioneer SP-450, Sony MDR-V6 headphones (one for each day of the week )
- 2 Pioneer CDJ-1000 cdplayers
- 1 Denon DN-9000 Eclipse (don't really Denon, but the setup won't be complete without one)
- 1 Final Scratch system
- Some Electrix EQkillers
- Akai MPC2000XL sampler (bahh, what the heck, a 4000 is even better)
- Redsound Cycloops sampler (for the quickies)
- Pioneer EFX500 effector, and why not, a Kaoss Pad 2
- Some Ohm Smakstak speakers with Crown amps (CE-2000 of 4000 depending on how much speakers
- Some Adamson Y axis line arrays coupled to Crest audio amps for outdoor gigs
- Some Zomax subs to spice everything up (I'd power them with Ecler PAM 6100 amps).

And finally a truck to transport all this

Wow, overkill.. not my budget.. but notes taken..

Most people on here seem to favour the Sony/Technics headphones. Personally, I’d go for Sennheiser’s every time!

280 pro?

For DJing, the 280 Pro is okay, but too bulky for easy spinning. It's the HD 25 that's more useful here. Expensive ($200 USD even at discount), however - but makes spinning at gigs easier.
