As one of the world's biggest DJ competitions, burn Residency helps up-and-coming DJs to jump-start their careers by winning a residency at Ibiza's top clubs. Each year, burn Residency gives international DJs the opportunity to learn from top industry names and compete for career-making prizes. Last year, the competition attracted more than 6,000 DJ contestants from 134 different countries, drawing a total of 1.7 million fan votes. This year's finalists will each win a pair of AKG K181 DJ UE headphones, and the top winner will land a prize package including a 100,000 Euro contract to launch his or her career. "burn is thrilled to welcome AKG to burn Residency and share our passion for supporting the next generation of DJ talent across the globe," says Andy Battman, global director of burn Energy.

"Our K181 DJ UE headphones provide the sound quality and reliability they'll need to make an impact in Ibiza, and wherever their careers take them. May the best DJs win!" Designed for professional DJ use in any club environment, the K181 DJ UE (ultimate edition) headphones feature a closed-back design and deliver enough power to withstand even the strongest PA speakers, especially for pre-fader listening. For loud working conditions, the bass boost makes it easier to hear low frequencies, while the headphones' coiled cable offers freedom to move without stepping on a cable.
