What Are Headshells?

Headshells are a crucial part of DJ turntables, particularly for those designed for scratching and turntablism. They serve as the connection between the turntable's tonearm and the cartridge, which houses the stylus responsible for reading the grooves of vinyl records.

The headshell ensures that the cartridge is securely mounted and precisely aligned, which is vital for achieving optimal sound quality and tracking performance on the record. This is especially important for DJs, as the stylus must stay firmly in place to withstand the rapid movements involved in scratching and back-cueing.

Headshells come in various weights and materials, allowing DJs to customize their setup according to their preferences and performance needs.
