Pioneer DJ

Description

Pioneer DJ equipment is carefully crated with the professional DJ in mind, and the HDJ-1500 headphones fall right into place. These pro-DJ headphones promise to deliver full-range, incredible sound reproduction in a stylish cosmetic design that is perfect for pro DJs. Providing unmatched audio performance, the HDJ-1500 utilizes high-quality components, large drivers, high-quality construction and a new sound isolation technology to achieve exceptional performance in demanding environments.

It's in the Sound
The high-quality components incorporated into the HDJ-1500 headphones deliver evenly balanced sound across the entire frequency spectrum. The combination of large 50mm drivers, copper-clad aluminum wire (CCAW) voice coils, rare-earth magnets and 38μm-thick diaphragms, significantly improve control of the drivers and produce better bass response. Users will hear pronounced vocals, hard-hitting kick drums and snappy snare drums that make matching tempos between tracks effortless.

The newly developed design also greatly reduces background noise. Pioneer has created an innovative sound-isolation chamber as part of its bass reflex port that isolates low and mid frequencies in the 300 Hz to 1,300 Hz by as much as 4 decibels from the previous Pioneer model, resulting in cleaner, better defined mid bass/mid range sounds.

Defined by Design
The HDJ-1500 exemplifies the look and feel of pro-style headphones designed with large over-the-ears cups that not only look sleek but also contribute to their excellent performance. The model incorporates ultra-comfortable narrow low-resilience urethane memory foam ear pads to create a tight seal around the ears and significantly reduce external sounds. The urethane memory pads are also finished in durable leather for great feel and extended comfort. The HDJ-1500 features a moving headband and hinges composed of rugged yet lightweight magnesium alloy to withstand the rigors of extended professional use. Each earpiece swivels up to 45-degrees and can be flipped around 180-degrees for one ear listening. Furthermore, the included single-sided cable is detachable and can easily be replaced if damaged. The headphones also include a compact carrying pouch for protection and convenience.

4 stars because...

I've had these headphones for about 6 months... great sound quality. downside and loss of a star is the price to plastic parts ratio. hinge that connects to the speakers is plastic but they have held up well but prob won't if your are pretty rough with equipment.

Sound good, but broke too soon

I bought these headphones in November 2012 and they literally fell apart in March. The plastic area right where the headphones attach to the band cracked and fell apart. I was shocked since they cost $180! They sounded great and were comfortable, but could use some reinforcement. If you dj, buy a more durable pair

    Heavier in feeling compared to the X5. Looks flashy, and the sound quality isnt bad. Something is missing with the sound, almost like its metalic sounding. I bought these and needed them quick, and GC sent me my new 1500's and they were still in the box but covered in glue or something. The storage bag was falling apart and flaking all over the place creating a mess.

    I tried out several headphones in the Guitar Center store before deciding to purchase these headphones. These seemed to be the most comfortable and produce the full range of audio. I can hear the very low end of the bass and the very high end of the treble range on these headphones which makes it an ideal set of headphones for detailed sound mixing and designing. I wear glasses so I needed something that wasn't to tight fitting. I recently returned the other Pioneer model HDJ-500 because they were a little too tight. Both models have great midrange detail, but these HDJ-1500 fit just perfectly and the pads are very comfortable mainly because the earpieces swivel for a perfect fit.

    Everything you are reading about the sound quality and what not is spot on. They sound amazing and they are super comfortable and work amazing in every club I DJ. BUT.....POOR engineering. I am on my 2nd pair in 6 months. First time the speaker went. 2nd time plastic parts just breaking all over. Make these thing durable and you have a solid product!
