Ok on the Pioneer DJM-500 is there a switch that allows you to listen to exactly whats going through the speakers but through your headphones including EQ changes? I was talking to a guy on LX and he said he didnt think it did. Im buying one in like 2 weeks so I got to know before I buy it.

Yep. It gets waaaaay better than that! It's a part of the split-cue function which every Pioneer mixer has. (At least the DJM-500 and 600)

Switching the PFL on on the channel that is playing also gives you basically the same result as hearing what's being played on the dancefloor. You're gonna hear EQ changes no matter what you do, so I don't know why you asked that question... The EQ changes you make on each channel on the mixer will affect all outputs, ie, main out (to the speakers), monitor (or booth) out (if you have a monitor in your DJ booth), and the headset.

The PFL, of course, allows you to monitor (listen to) all channels that are or aren't being played... which is part of the reason there are DJ mixers. And you can listen to as many channels as you want simultaneously. On the DJM-500 and 600, you can adjust what you're hearing in each side of your headset, which should be common in most good mixers nowadays...

Hope I understood you right. If not, trust me... I would say Pioneer has a good claim if they said they had the best mixers out there. (You must have won the lottery or sumthin'!) :D
