There may very well be a new generation of DJs set to takeover the world of music if Spin headphones can become a reality. Spin was designed by Victor Declety to be a combination DJ kit/headphones.
The Spin headphones resemble the uber-popular Beats headphones but feature added functionality. Each of the earphones allows you to manipulate your music. One earphone features a four-way directional controller that lets you select your song samples. The other earphone features a scratch pad that lets you cut and scratch up your music on-the-go. With the rise of digital DJ gear, it seems that everyone and their mother is becoming a music producer. The Spin headphones could easily capitalize off of this trend. I'm also sure that they would get the Dr. Dre stamp of approval.
