Phanta, I'll just resay what I typed earlier, with one edit, which I will mark.
Phanta, you're in luck. The ones I have been preaching about for a month do all of that and more. And, since you are going to be pluging them into a high-end mixer, you are going to need something a little more versatile than just a set of headphones that can only really be used in a club. You need headphones that are good at EVERYTHING.
Therefore, for reasons I have talked about all over this thread and others, I'm gonna have to, once more, suggest the Sony MDR-V6's.
Check out Yahoo shopping for info on the cheapest place to order them, with shipping costs included. They should be well under 100 USD.
I swear. I sound like a broken record...but that's okay.
But, anyways, here's why they are good for each use:
1. DJing in a club: They block out a lot of outside noise, and have a very clear, accurate sound, so you know exactly what you are getting. Also, they can be plugged into questionable equipment and still sound great, without distorting at any volumes. What's more, the bass is deep, impacting, and very clear, so you will always know exactly when it is. Finally, they grip your head tightly, so they won't fall off, and the earcups rotate for one-ear monitoring.
2. Use with a high end mixer: In this instance, you would most likely be creating music, editing it, and you need to know EXACTLY what the recording sounds like, so that it will sound good on any equipment. These give you the clarity, accuracy, and detail for this; these are what the recording industry uses, and trusts.
3. Something to beat match with easily: For this, you need bass that you can both hear and feel, and you always know it is there, even with outside noise or if one earcup is off or at low volumes. Perhaps the V6's greatest strength is it's bass; you always get the physical impact, you always hear it, and the bass is VERY tight and accurate. For beatmatching, you are using the bass as basically a clock, and the V6's do not distort the time, like some headphones. Also, if you ever want to decide to give character to your bass, make it sound more than a thump, make it a wham or sound like an instrument (by adding sound in the frequencies 2 khz to 5 kz to the beat, for example), the V6's will let you do this, unlike SOME headphones that are VERY depressed in those frequencies. Plus, since they are so clear, you can always hear the bass, even at low volumes (something that many think you need boomy bass to do; this is not true). And, here's the special thing about them. ****EDIT IS HERE*** If you put a signal of boomy bass into the V6's, that is exactly what you will hear through them. If you put a signal of tight, controlled bass to them, that is what you will hear. If you want to beatmatch with some extra-low bass (lower than the usual 100 HZ, for example), you will be able to hear it to beatmatch with it. For beatmatching, you need HONESTY. Which is what you get with the V6's!!! ***END EDIT***
4. You can pick up a set of Sony MDR-V6's online for $75 plus shipping. Lower if you buy them used, or off of ebay (or you can steal them from your local radio station or TV station, which no doubt uses them. Just kidding, don't steal em, but they probably DO use them.) Look for them in professional music shops, and audio stores, as well; you probably won't find them at Best Buy, because they are Sony's little secret.
