Pioneer DJ HDJ-CUE1, DJ Headphones

Product Information

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. 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. Sound performance is easily the most important consideration when investing in a set of DJ headphones. Fortunately, Pioneer knows exactly what it’s doing in this regard.

Second, you’ve got the comfort of a set of well-padded over-ear cans. However, the first thing likely to grab your attention when you buy one of these headsets is their design. If you want to experiment with styles, you can also try your headphones on virtually before you buy them with a unique IG filter. Aside from the customizable look, the build of the Pioneer HDJ CUE1 headphone is also impressive because it’s so lightweight and comfortable. 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. With almost neon-bright shades of blue, green, red, pink, and yellow to choose from, you might struggle to decide which design to get.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. However, Bluetooth and passive modes seem to deliver a similar level of bass and higher frequency response. The comfort is about right for a DJ headphone, the audio quality loud and bass-heavy, if a little unrefined, but nonetheless suitable for the job. Below the multi-function button is the port for your coiled cable, followed by the microphone. That coiled cable can extend anywhere up to 70 inches by the way, but it’s around 47 inches long as standard. You even get the added benefit of a comfortable headset that isn’t going to clamp your ears or head too much after hours of work.

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. Start your DJ journey with the Pioneer HDJ-CUE1 headphones. Available in four different models, these fresh units come with modest price tags and bold features. As mentioned previously, the Pioneer HDJ CUE1 comes with an option to choose from different colors for your outer shell, and a range of bright shades for the cushioning and the cable included. These colors all look fantastic, and you can test what they’re going to look like on you with the IG filter offered by Pioneer. 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… The Pioneer HDJ CUE1’s sound is warm, approachable, and great for those making their initial foray into the DJing world.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 The HDJ-CUE1 headphones are ideal if you’re getting into DJing. Each model features a professional look and feel, rich sound, foldable design, and a high-quality finish – all for a modest price. Want to listen to music wirelessly? Choose one of the Bluetooth ®units for a little extra freedom.

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). As I mentioned above, they don’t have the vertical 180 degree tilt that some do, so if you’d miss being able to flip an ear cup around 180 degrees, they won’t be for you – for me that’s fine, as it’s something I never do. In their “normal” colours, the headphones are similar-looking to most DJ ‘phones, albeit slightly smaller. Built To Last. Extra-strong metal sliders in the comfy headband bring reliability and extend the life of the headphones.
