Pioneer DJ HDJ-CUE1, DJ Headphones

Product Information

Corners have been cut, but barring any doubts about durability (the Achilles heel of any DJ headphone), not in crucial places, as we shall see. 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.

Built To Last. Extra-strong metal sliders in the comfy headband bring reliability and extend the life of the headphones. 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 DJ HDJ CUE1 are an attractive and vibrant over-ear headset, taking inspiration from Pioneer’s more expensive product line. Are the Pioneer HDJ CUE1 DJ headphones any good? (in short) Typically, you might not expect such a cheap pair of DJ headphones to be reliable for your audio-focused career. Usually, a lower price means that the company has cut corners somewhere, whether on comfort, sound quality, or durability.Another thing you might notice is that these headphones look a little smaller than the standard DJ headset. That doesn’t mean they’re not durable though. There’s also a handy Bluetooth connect functionality that’s included if you choose the Bluetooth-ready version. 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. Importantly, while the Pioneer HDJ CUE1 headphones are a Pioneer product, they’re also a step in a new direction for the company. Pioneer HDJ-CUE1 are the perfect headphones to start your DJ journey. The wired HDJ-CUE1 version is finished in dark silver and these styled DJ headphones are built on DNA from Pioneer DJ's pro heaphone models but are available at a much more modest price.

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.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… As mentioned above, the Pioneer HDJ-CUE1 headphones come with a lot of rotation options in the earcups. However, you can’t access the same 180-degree tilt that you would get with more expensive products. The Pioneer HDJ CUE1 headphones are a set of entry-level cans built on the DNA of Pioneer’s previous models but introduce a much more affordable price. 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.
