Also, here why he is known and the "Telephone Man"

Parker also stands out in the DJ booth for his use of a telephone receiver as a headphone, an idea borrowed from an earlier generation of DJs. The telephone is in some ways his mascot, but it serves a practical purpose as well.

"I used to use traditional headphones, but because I get very animated when I spin, I used to go through them too quickly. I don't think I ever had a pair of regular headphones that lasted more than six months. The telephone is so durable -- the one I have now I've had for close to 14 years. I haven't met a DJ yet who's had a pair of headphones as long as I've had my phone. It's also a lot louder than normal headphones. Usually, the DJ before me will have the headphone gain cranked, and when I come on I'll turn it right down. You just have to be careful not to hurt your ears with it."
