Pioneer DJ HDJ-CUE1, DJ Headphones

Product Information

They aren’t as amazing as some of the more costly alternatives out there, but they compete well with many entry-level headsets and come at a fraction of the price. If you want the freedom to flip your ear cup around completely, that might be an issue for you. For most people, it’s probably not going to be a big deal. Connectivity

The sturdy headband feels strong and high-quality. There’s also plenty of movement in the headphone cans, so you don’t have to worry about flexibility issues. HDJ-CUE1 headphones are perfect if you are getting into DJing. They feature a professional look and comfortable feel, whilst reproducing an incredibly rich sound, helping you beat match your songs together. The pro-quality sound will also aid in protecting your ears from harmful frequencies that are sometimes found on lower priced cans. Also, the foldable design and high-quality, robust finish make Pioneer’s most affordable pair of Headphones an excellent choice for anyone who is starting out, or on a budget. Plus, the cups also twist a full 90 degrees if you need to listen to something else for a moment. All that, and you can fold your headphones down flat for transportation too. Setting Up If you’re a user of Pioneer DJ gear at the lower end and don’t want to spend as much as you spent on your controller just to have some Pioneer DJ-branded headphones, they’re a no brainer, but frankly, they’ll work out fine for anyone looking for cheaper DJ headphones.

Features

Depending on your needs, you can choose the Bluetooth version of the headphones or the non-Bluetooth version. Tech Specs: Driver Importantly, while the Pioneer HDJ CUE1 headphones are a Pioneer product, they’re also a step in a new direction for the company.

The microphone is fine, but you may notice that the audience sounds a little muddy on the other end. Customizations While it’s true that there are more advanced headphones out there, you’ll struggle to find an entry-level set with this much potential. That said, they sound just as good as consumer headphones and earbuds (looking at you, Powerbeat Pros), and for many they will sound just fine for day-to-day use. The Pioneer HDJ CUE1 headphones feature a built-in microphone, which you might use for video calls when you’re at home, recording notes, or phone calls. Generally, this isn’t going to be the device you choose if you’re recording high-fidelity audio.

Plus, the “pimping up” is some fun icing on the cake that I suspect more people will go for than one might imagine.

They certainly fold away small enough into their own headband for easy transporting, and although I have no way of telling you how durable they will be in the longer run, they seem as well built as many more expensive ‘phones. Each HDJ-CUE1 model can handle the heavy stress that DJing places on headphones. All moving parts have passed our strict-in house durability tests and extra-strong metal sliders in the headband bring added reliability. COMFORTABLE PRO-STYLE DESIGN These are a good headphone for the money. They’re not as big as the more pro headphones that they ape – the ear cups are moulded a bit smaller, the headband is a little less padded – but for some, that will be seen as an advantage. Even in Bluetooth mode, these headphones perform well, delivering a good combination of crisp highs and powerful low frequencies.

Built to last

The lightweight, folding design means you can easily take your headphones wherever you go. DETACHABLE CABLES The Pioneer HDJ-CUE1 headphones come in either a Bluetooth-ready or non-Bluetooth version. These days, it seems likely that most DJs will choose the Bluetooth option, just because it’s there.
