I've been using these with my CDJ800 decks and DJM707 for the past few years - the 'phones for 7yrs. exactly. I have been using them mainly for DJing house parties and listening enjoyment with my bookshelf system and iPods (all lossless now). I really dig the wide frequency response; classical sounds just as good metal. The frequency curve seems to be tweaked such that they are functional for DJs (pronounced midrange) and do well for casual listening (full, low-register bass response). Every style of music sounds great with these. I really lime how powerful they are; I listen at really low volumes, but you can crank the HDJ1000s up and set them on a table, and you will be able to clearly hear the music without distortion.

A hard-hitting DJ headphone- my personal opinion is that all audio obsession should start with a set of DJ headphones (even non-DJs). My main complaint with the Pioneers is the lack of user-replaceable parts. I've had mine for 7.5 years, and they look and sound brand new, but replaceable pads and cable would make me feel better.

Plug n play

Looking closely at the HDJ1000s, I can understand the complaints about the flimsy construction. But for this reason, I treat these as I do all of my professional-grade equipment. The HDJ1000 is precisely that - professional gear, and like all professional gear, it has to be cared for. I don't intend to criticize those who have broken theirs, since the flimsy plastic is sub-standard for this category of equipment. I just get extra paranoid with these when gigging, so they are in superb condition. Seven and a half years, baby! Is that a record? I think the HDJ2000 was made to address these concerns, since it has identical specs and sturdier construction (and twice the price).

People say that when you buy Pioneer, you are paying for the name. To a degree, that is true, but the name represents a solid product. These headphones are phenominal. Comparable products can cost less (I like Sony and Sennheiser just as much), but my Pioneers have not malfunctioned or shown a bit of deterioration in the time I have had them.

For a few years, I was on the Pioneer DJ forums. I never went to support directly, but on the forums, we were connected with real DJs and representatives from Pioneer Pro DJ and Pioneer Electronics, who all helped out with gear issues, or at least directed us to the right channels.

They look really cool, when DJing and when drinking coffee. The Sennheiser HD280 is another favorite of mine, but the Pioneers look much better, and they are tweaked better for listening enjoyment.

guitar, bass, DJ, ho

Great product compared to similar products of its kind. I love the professional look and style of the headphones. The sound is clear,crisp and clean. My musical taste ranges from Classic Jazz, Blues, Funk, Motown, to Hip-Hop and many different Electronic Dance music styles, and these headphones can handle my complete range of music.

They are built to last compared to some other products in its class.

Great Value for such a professional sounding headphone.

Never had to deal with support for this product.

When I'm out and about using these headphones at the library, coffee shop, or downtown chill'n, they make me look like the complete professional music lover(to which I'm am. . .LOL)

Mobile DJ, Music Lover!

If it's good I love it!

These headphones have a deep dynamic bass unlike other DJ headphones. When I mix it sounds great it is very impressive. Overall these headphones do everything.

GREAT THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY!

GREAT LEATHER VERY SOFT AND COMFORATABLE

NICE ON EARS AFTER LONG USE.

YES.

Variety

The sound is great and the ability to change from mono to stereo is good for my djing. The bass is great the highs and mides are great. The bass doesnt distort no matter if i blast them

I liked the use of the mono/stereo switch, the one chord on the left helps with no tangling of wires, and these headphones are the only ones that have replacable wires incase of damage.

I love to hate these headphones. I use the headphones for DJINg so they take wear and tear but for the studio person disregard what i say.First pair I purshased broke at the ear to strap area on both sides, second pair began to do the same so I took them apart and super glued them to make them stronger and to fix the cracks. Pioneer needs to redesign the engineering of this area, OTher people i know with these headphones began to see the same problem. Pioneer needs to fix this weak area quick (if this werent a problem then i would rate these at a 10 in all areas).

really expensive but i think great headphones overall, better than the sonys in my opinion.... FILL OUT WARRANTY CARD,

never dealt with the company, was going to talk about the weak areas of the headphones but i never sent my warranty card in so i knew it would salve anything.

they look awesome, new age feel very cutting edge design.

They don't sound bad, but for the price I had expected them to sound alot better!

They are average on features, they offer the standard rotating earcups for single ear monitoring, a handy carrying bag for storage when not in use.

The earcups are not all that comfortable when wearing them for any extended period of time.

This is where I have an issue with the product. For headphones in this price range they are made very flimsy and cheap. I am not one to beat on my gear and in fact I also own and have owned alot of other Pioneer products and take very good care of my gear. I have had these headphones for a little over a year and went to take them out of their storage bag one evening while setting up for a gig and when I went to unfold them from their stored position one of the earpieces snapped off of the main headband right in my hand. I have a pair of Sony DJ headphones that I've had for 13 years that I paid less money for that are still going strong. Very disappointed in the quality of these headphones and expected alot more from Pioneer.

Definitely way overpriced for the quality and company backing that you're getting with these headphones.

I contacted Pioneer's customer service department regarding the broken headphones that barely lasted me a year first via their online contact form. After spending 15 minutes filling out the online form and typing a detailed description of what happened and my complaint, I ended up not being able to even send the message due to a server error on their site and was returned to a blank online form again. Then I placed a call to their customer service department only to be told basically that my headphones were out of warranty and I would simply have to purchase a new pair. I guess I was wrong for expecting Pioneer to stand by their product.

I would not buy another pair of these headphones.

13 years

hip hop, rock, top 40

Sound coimg out of these things is great!

has a switch that goes from mono to stereo, nice touch.

they're headphones.

For the price, the quality leaves aot to be desired.. after 6 months the knuckle that connects the earpiece to the headpiece broke and wires became exposed. How much does it cost pioneer to make these things? the mark up is around 1000% to retail. They should put a little more thought into how to make these more durable and stop thinking profit$ profit$ profit$.

not worth the price.

they look great.

THE SOUND I QUITE PERFECT, THE PHONES RESIST HIGH VOLUME AND PRESERVE THE QUALITY AT ALL RANGES (VOL UP TO 75% ON PIONEER DJM 600)

NO ACCESORIES

EXTREMELY FRIENDLY TO USE

PLASTIC IS LAME (THEY BREK EASILY AT THE JOINTS) I FIXED MINE WITH SUPERGLUE AND ALLUMINUIM PLATES PLUS SOME SILICON

A BIT OVERPRICED BECAUSE OF THE LAME PLASTIC

GOOD MARKETING

QUITE SEXY

Everything.

Sound Quality is by far superb.

Included necessary accessories

Product ease of use is above averages. Comfortable feel.

Broke within four months. First the plastic began to fall off then the sound entirely did not work in one ear.

Not worth the money

very sexy item

the sound quality is perfect! :D very clear and loud

not much features

very easy to use .. just like a normal headphone

Awesome awesome sound. I like bass which these provide, so they may not be the best for audiophiles, but I am also picky with sound quality. In these headphones you can actually hear the differences between sample rates in mp3 files. 128kb sounds terrible now! I love it.

pivot point for swivel is pretty bad, being plastic I am constantly aware of how i treat the headphones so that they dont break

This is where the headphones suffer. The sound quality and speaker quality is top line, but being mostly plastic, the headphones feel way to delicate and easy to break

Great look, slim design, nice logo placing around the headband and cans.

sound is great dont have to do anything on it

stereo and mono mode good for mixing

Just like a normal headhph0ne

sound quality is ok but the ( PLASTIC ) like the other guy said its very weak and breaks really fast ( at the joints ) ( 4/5 months ) and it broke just like chocolade :)

i think its also overpriced because of cheap plastic

it looks nice sound quality also ok

sound is perfect ;]! i can turn it up^ superloud N blast out....

they fold up nice..

defintley easy to use i hate headphones that put 1 channle of sound in 1 side of the head phones and the other channle of sound in the other side of the head phones ... sometimes my friends headphones work like that on my dj800 like the sony ones.. did that it sucked.. so we used mine and it was all g00d.. =]

ok this is what sucked.. they did brake like not t00 long after i got them right @ the side where it folds up it broke they need to remake these headphones stronger and they will have the best djing headphones 160$ can buy =]! yeah soo i got some tape on mine and they work good still but i wish they didnt brake ill be buying new ones soon and this time im going to pay for the WAR-N-T

its defintley a good price

they FIt Really NIce ON my HEad d[o_o]b

yeah they are pretty sexxyy you should make some all black ones too

The Best equal balanced sound I heard out of all the headphones on the market. Clear highs and thumping low bass. You'll pay $300.00 or more for german brand headphones and they still wouldn't sound better than these.

You get stereo plus a mono sound option? Cool!

High Quality product mine still is in xlnt condition no problems.

The best value out there considering they cost a few hundred less then some they sound much better than.

Never needed any

If I lost these headphone I would run to the music store the very same day and buy these again. They were designed for DJ use but probably the best headphones for mixing ever created because they can take that really loud sound and they have top notch sound quality.

Boom Baby..............Great bass great highs, but mids are a little lacking. Sometimes the snare drum, cymbals (remember sometimes) and the guitar in a few places are a little thudy sounding but still sounds incredible. Volume level is awesome. Once you wear these in the have a great soundstage and there is nothing bad to say about them.

Nice little bag to keep them in, nice stereo to mono switch even though i don't use it and i like that the jacks are gold instead of silver, that has always bothered me when they are silver for some reason.

I am no DJ so i am not getting the wear and tear so mine are holding up nicly.

I got a good deal so i am happy. Shouldn't pay more then 130, i will just say that.

I really wanted it.

Sounds really good...nice deep bass good highs

like the switch for mono/stereo and there isn't a lot of cord to mess with but long enough to do almost any thing around you

one of the best quality headphones i have had. i had the sony and they sucked so these are my #1 choice

little pricey but you get what you pay for

didn't need support i take care of my equipment

These headphones are straight up the best set out there. Their sound is flawless at high levels, and the bass is unlike anything i thought was even possible for headphones. I don't know first hand, but I've been told by multiple people that the Sony cop-off of these falls apart at the stitching after a few months. Either way, forget Sony, PIONEER really had conquered headphone technology.
