DJ Hero competition

DJ Hero immerses fans into DJ culture and a sea of music as they take turns with their friends, scratching songs, playing along to the hottest tracks and ruling the party. The game's innovative turntable controller was created exclusively for the game and features familiar DJ tools including a fully-rotating turntable, sample buttons, effects dial and crossfader.

Players master various DJ techniques as they play along to visual cues for scratching, blending, crossfading and sampling, and can also add their own creative spark by choosing to add a variety of effects, samples and scratches. Social expression is heightened with euphoric multiplayer gameplay where two DJs can battle competitively or have a player join in to emcee over any track in the game using any USB compatible microphone. Additionally, gamers can rock together as DJ Hero features DJ-guitar exclusive mixes played with a turntable controller and Guitar Hero guitar controller.

Jay-Z and Eminem have contributed some of their popular songs to DJ Hero and have collaborated on a special branded edition of the game (the Renegade Edition) that includes an advanced version of the game's turntable controller, a metal travelling case that transforms into a performance-ready DJ stand and two exclusive music CD compilations featuring greatest hits and new mixes from each artist.

Beats Headphones

Ditch those low quality earbud earphones and experience sound at its best. Monster has teamed with Dr. Dre and Interscope Chairman Jimmy Lovine to develop not just a great pair of headphones, but headphones that could accurately replicate the sound of a professional recording studio. Dr. Dre combined his talents as an artist, producer and sonic perfectionist with a top team of Monster's acoustic engineers for over 3 years to get the sound that met their high standards for acoustic performance.
