I have some headphones that are $2,000 and I can stand up on stage and everybody’ll think, “Oh my God, he’s so great with those headphones on.” But no, Reloops do the job.
The bass sounds really good through them, and I rarely take them off; I just move the headphones past my ears and over my head to hear the monitors.
I stayed away from lollipops for a long time because these one-ear headphones were always seen as kind of a New York thing – everyone was following Larry Levan.
Headphones are possibly the most important thing for a DJ to get right.
When I would have headphones strapped around my head all the time, they were hurting my ears.
