I usually use both my headphones, although I don't use the slpit cue. I've just learned to do it with both channels at full volume because some mixers don't have the slpit cue feature and some clubs don't even have moniters at all. If the moniters are good then I use both methods.

Actually I find the one thing you can get bitten on as correctly mentioned in a few posts back is the volumes of the club systems. Sometimes the mixer doesn't have a strong enough signal to the headphones. This could cause a few problems on both methods so it's not a problem that's strictly limited to both ear DJs. You can get signal amplifiers for things like that though (I carry one just in case).

Also make sure you have good headphones with good isolation otherwise you really will be in trouble which ever method you go with.

And let's be honest now, the club side of DJing is so different anyways with regards to many things not just how you hear the sound. You have to be a lot more aware of the sound that comes out and EQ it accordingly. Accoustics etc. the list goes on.

My advice to a bedroom DJ is to learn how to DJ with the method that is the easiest for you and then make the transition when the time comes. With a better knowledge of your skills to start with the changeover will be less brutal.

Best of luck
