Pioner hdj5/12/2023 ![]() Great DJ headphones have a lot of passive isolation – meaning they block out external sounds. Isolation: One of the biggest demands of any set of DJ cans comes in loud environments (like DJ booths). The volume and pause/play/advance buttons are just icing on the case. ![]() There’s a built in microphone, and everything sounds acceptable over Bluetooth. We found the CUE1s to be reliable, clear, and simple to switch devices. It’s not as head-clamping as other headphones in this price bracket.Ĭustomization: Switching the color pads takes a bit of time to remove and replace, but the ability to customize with your own color choice is worth the time it takes.īluetooth connection: In many cases, wireless headphones fail when they don’t behave how you expect them too. Our quick-take reviewĬomfort & feel: After testing the CUE1 for a few days, we found that the fit was snug and comfortable, without being too tight (because there’s nothing worse than a pair of headache-inducing headphones). A quick look at some of the customizable color combinations. ![]() The customization doesn’t stop there, either – you can also swap out the earpads and cables with bright colors if you’re looking to stand out, including orange, green, blue, pink, and yellow. The HDJ-CUE1 comes in an array of color choices, including dark silver, black, red, and white. The cable bayonet connector and L-shaped mini-jack both play a role in safeguarding the headphones from getting unplugged while DJing, and they come with a coiled cable to give you a bit of extra stretch in the booth. Let’s be real: they might not have the same durability as a $299 pair of headphones, but that’s not what these are designed for. With our experience thus far, they’ve been sturdy and significant – no signs of snapping or breaking easily, which can be a relief when bringing your headphones to a club or party setting. Pioneer DJ also built the HDJ-CUE1 with durability in mind. The movement here offers some flexibility rather than needing to constantly flip your headphones on and off as you’re playing. It also comes with a swivel mechanism that lets you turn the ear cups 90 degrees, making mixing much easier when you prefer to listen to a cued track along with one playing out of your monitor. That said, Pioneer DJ seems to have thought through what might make a “crossover” (personal and DJ) pair of headphones appealing:įirst, the headphones are built to be lightweight and fold neatly into a bag for easy travel between gigs. The CUE1 sits in the line of Pioneer DJ’s professional DJ headphone line, but is intended to reach a broader audience of users – described as “optimal for beginner DJs and music enthusiasts alike.” This is intriguing since DJs and producers tend to be quite particular about their headphone choice. Built for performing and casual listening The real kicker is that they’re under $100, have color customization kits, and are available in two models: wired and wireless Bluetooth. Released this week, the design aims to bring durability and multi-purpose usage (on the decks, in the studio, and for casual listening). Pioneer DJ dives back into the headphone game with the release of their latest rendition of their HDJ headphone series: the HDJ-CUE1.
