Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX Professional on-ear DJ headphones (black)

Product Information

You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. HDJ-CX is so lightweight you might forget you’re wearing them. Specially designed for absolute comfort and tuned to deliver tight audio with a wide range for mixing and monitoring music in any environment, the new headphones also feature a high level of sound insulation and are built to last. The new HDJ-CX on-ear DJ headphones from Pioneer are so light that you might not even notice you're wearing them. High-quality sound isolation, long-lasting comfort, tight audio reproduction and a wide dynamic range for mixing and monitoring music in any situation are just a few of the features found on these amazing new CX DJ headphones!

You can wear the HDJ-CX headphones for several hours and hardly feel their presence. This supreme level of comfort comes from the brand-new lightweight, ergonomic design. Every tiny detail has been considered, including the wiring in the cable which has been slimmed down to reduce weight, and even the positioning of the curl on the coiled cable which has been moved closer to the plug for greater balance. It’s easy to find a perfect fit thanks to all this, plus a high level of flex in the sturdy, stainless steel headband and adjustable earcups. As a brand, the AIAIAI range is famously used by Richie Hawtin, Charlotte de Witte and many others – so what’s not to like! Approximate price: Bear in mind the TMA 2 DJ XE are already optimized for DJing on arrival. The different components come individually wrapped, so you’ll need to assemble the headphones yourself …which is really easy to do.Thanks to a steel frame, super-flexible SteelFlex headband (great for single-ear monitoring) and their 3D mesh exterior, the M-100 Master are without doubt one of the most robust DJ headphones on the market. Of course, the highs aren’t going to be very pronounced on a DJ headphone, but the frequencies aren’t rolled off either. They actually possess a pretty flat timbre that appears even and well communicated. It presents a good amount of clarity with a solid amount of volume to the treble region. Summary

That remains the case today, 30 years on. Yes, the HD 25s clamped your head a bit, yes they weren’t hi-fi headphones for long-term listening, but they sounded great, and were utterly reliable – you knew what you were getting. The HDJ-CX headphones by and large look and feel like the HD 25s, with the added advantage of easily detachable cables, plus a choice of coiled or straight cables in the box, and spare pads provided. Plus, they sound good, and are about the same price. The HDJ-CX headphones have a surprisingly full sound, with deeper bass than expected, and a featherlight fit. In addition to the HDJ-CX headphones themselves, Pioneer DJ include useful accessories that improve their longevity and let you adapt them to different listening contexts. In the box you receive a 3m coiled cable that’s suited for pro DJ and studio use, a straight 1.6m cable for casual and on-the-go listening, a pair of replacement ear pads and a handy 1/4" plug holder to keep your adaptor secure during a performance. As one of their major selling points, the brand makes it super-easy to customize your own pair, with the option to interchange the headband, ear pads, drivers, and all the cables. The headphones come with interchangeable straight and coiled cables as well as a holder for the 1⁄4” plug adapter which you can clip to the cable so you never lose it. A pair of replacement ear pads are also included.After testing them ourselves, these things are plenty loud enough, offering crisp highs and a pronounced bass output – which is just what you need for mixing in noisy environments. They’re also very well-padded and lightweight, with rotating ear cups and an extendable headband that would fit most people. Following on nicely, we have the massively popular HD 25s from Sennheiser. These are an on-ear design for professional DJs, and some would say the ‘industry standard’! The classic Pioneer headband provides sufficient padding with plenty of elasticity to fit most people, with the right amount of clamping force providing you only have them on your head when you’re monitoring a mix …which is pretty standard for on-ear designs that press against your ears. The ear cups swivel 90 degrees and also rotate slightly on their axis, which is perfect for single-ear listening and positioning them on your head in the mix. First headphones in the world to reproduce frequencies from 5 Hz to 40 kHz in the DJ headphones market (according to research conducted by Pioneer DJ Corporation Ltd, 21st August 2017).
