Headphones recommended for DJing have:
- a low impedance, from 16 to 64 Ohms, to keep the sound punchy especially on bass (high impedance headphones tend to be less punchy),
- with a high sensitivity (100 dB or more),
- isolating ear cups attenuating the ambient noise,
- comfortable soft ear cushions (you must bear the headphones for hours),
- a long cable (10 feet),
- a stereo jack 1/4" plug, or a jack 1/8" plug with a 1/4" adapter,
- preferably foldable earphones, to allows double or single ear monitoring.
Never use in-ear earphones: they are not appropriate for DJing, too difficult to remove, not protective enough from the ambient noise, and not comfortable enough.
You can use other headphones with DJ Console MK2, as hi-fi headphones over 100 ohms, but with headphones the higher the impedance the lower the volume in the headphones, so while high impedance headphones can be OK for bedroom DJing, their volume may be too low to cover the sound and screams of the audience in a party.

In "24", Season 5, Episode 22, DJ Control MP3 makes a short appearance.
OK, there is no DJ mix in this episode, simply the playback of an MP3 file.

DJ Console MK1 Play and Cue buttons response decrease with the time because the contact dots on the printed circuit board activated by the buttons become rusty when the console is not stored in a dry atmosphere.
You can improve the response by cleaning the contact areas of the printed circuit board:
- Remove the caps of the equalization and volume buttons,
- Disassemble DJ Console MK1 in removing the screws placed on the ground side below the red feet,
- Unscrew the printed circuit board to remove the top case,
- Remove the 2 keypads with the Play and Cue buttons, clean with non abrasive solvent (typically white spirit) the black contact dots on rear of this keypads: don't brush heavily, these carbon contacts must remain black to make a contact on the printed circuit board. You just have to remove possible rust from these black dots.
- Also clean with white spirit the contact areas of the printed circuit board.
- Reassemble everything.
In the future, store your DJ Console MK1 in a dry atmosphere to avoid rust (if you must store it in a cellar or a garage, place it in a closed plastic bag).
This Play and Cue buttons issue doesn't occur on DJ Console MK2 and DJ Control MP3 since:
- there are 4 contact dots below each Play and Cue dots on DJ Console MK2 and DJ Control MP3, versus 2 contact dots on DJ Console MK1,
- DJ Console MK2 and DJ Control MP3 printed circuit boards have received a protection against rust.

DJ Control MP3 drivers for Mac make it possible to use DJ Control MP3 as a MIDI controller in Mac OS 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger).
DJ Control MP3 includes no software bundle for Mac, so it is not a complete solution to mix on Mac, but Mac owners who already have Mac DJ software with a MIDI learning mode as Traktor 2.5 or 3.0 full version can now control this software.
Traktor 2.5 DJ Console Edition Mac is not supported by DJ Control MP3.
