Once on your head and adjusted, they have the classic DJ headphone feel – pretty good audio isolation, thanks to the vice-like grip the headband exerts on your ears and head. These are not intended for long, languid listening sessions on the sofa… Attractive Design –Sleek design that looks the part. While appearance isn’t at the top of my list when selecting headphones it is good when they look smart. Excellent Sound Quality –Despite the low price point, the CUE1BT offers impressive sound. Very loud and defined with a punchy low-end response. Instead, the point is that you can isolate the loud club when you need to, at the expense of ultimate comfort (because no DJ wears his or her headphones for hours on end anyway). In all cases, we were impressed by how rhythmic the response was. Each beat seemed to punch through the headphones’ drivers on the low end, making it easy to beat match with one ear of the headphones on, and making the most energetic music in our library sound particularly exciting.

HDJ-X5 - Pioneer DJ - Global

Carroll is a headphone junkie residing in Brooklyn. He's a huge fan of Grado, UK hip hop, and the English Language in general. When not testing audio equipment or writing, you'll find him taking photographs or fiddling with circuit boards.Plus, the “pimping up” is some fun icing on the cake that I suspect more people will go for than one might imagine.

The most budget friendly option in the HDJ-X line, the HDJ-X5 may not have the clarity or handle the extreme frequency range its bigger brothers offer, it is still a good option for cash-strapped DJs and beginners who want something that looks pro without spending a lot. Como sucesores de la gama HDJ-2000, los auriculares HDJ-X heredan algunas conocidas características profesionales, como rótulas flexibles que permiten una pre-escucha cómoda, en cualquier posición. Also, there’s really fun bass here. It doesn’t just steal the focus on the lows; the bass steals the entire show here. From the moment you put the HDJ-X5BT on, you’re feeling that deep, jaw-massaging reverberation that has converted many an audiophile to an incorrigible basshead. Recommendations These headphones feature an on-ear design with rotating cups for easy one-ear monitoring. The fit is comfortable but only if you like on-ear cans. Isolation is decent but certainly not to the level of SJ headphones that fully encase your ears. The Pioneer HDJ X10 is the top of the line when it comes to Pioneer professional DJ headphones. With influence from top DJs when it comes to design they are among the most durable headphones you can buy.
