Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White)
The Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones are designed to provide DJs, studio engineers, performers and casual listeners alike, with the standard of audio quality, comfort and durability enjoyed by professionals. The HDJ-500K headphones feature comfortable, enclosed earcups for maximum comfort while minimizing extraneous sound. Its high output and sensitive low and mid frequency response aid in DJ mixing and recording applications. The earcups feature a swiveling action for single ear monitoring. Interchangeable coiled and straight cables are included.
- Refined Design
- The HDJ-500 DJ headphones adapt the styling and performance cues of Pioneer's top-of-the-line HDJ-2000 headphones. Designed with maximum comfort and reliability in mind, the HDJ-500 headphones use comfortable urethane pads for the ears that allow the headphones to mold around the user's head and ears for a snug and slip-resistant fit. Furthermore, the urethane pads are wrapped in great quality leather, providing greater feel and extended comfort. The main structure of the headphones is crafted of magnesium alloy for light weight and durability, making them great for travel and long periods of use.
- The Sound Difference
- The HDJ-500's stylish design is matched with great sound quality providing clear audio reproduction, especially in the critical low and mid frequency ranges that are key for remixing. By combining 40 mm diameter drivers, thick 19 µm (micrometers) diaphragm and a copper clad aluminum wire (CCAW) voice coil, the headphones can efficiently reproduce the lower frequency audio range. Snare and kick drum sounds are more clear making it easier for even the most novice DJs to match the tempo of tracks.
- Versatility
- For maximum flexibility during performances, the HDJ-500 features a rotating arm structure that allows the user to rotate the right earpiece forward and back by as much as 60 degrees. At that position, the flexible headband maintains enough side pressure to allow the DJ to listen to audio on just one side of the headphones. The headphones include two interchangeable cords providing freedom of movement during performances. The traditional 1.2 meter coiled cord (extends to 3m) is perfect for regular DJ performances, while the 1 meter straight cord is ideal for leisure listening.

Comments about Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White):
Great bass, comfy, the headphones exude style and quality and they sound great off an ipod or a dedicated setup. Sound is muddy compared to higher end audiophile grade headphones but these sound quite nice for urban music. They are my fav portable cans . Plus they have 2 interchangeable cables that are nicer than the shure 840s system i looked at.

Comments about Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White):
These Heaphones suprised me, as in quality and the sound. the sound is really good it has good bass and the highs and mids are right where they should be since I am a Dj. They are great for listening to your personal music as well. They were kind of tight at first but give it a couple of wears and they will get more comfortable. Overall pioneer did a great job with these and they look really nice in white.

Comments about Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White):
I've DJed for many, many years and needed some new headphones for my mobile system and these work pretty good. Very stylish and light. Only negative is they don't fold up like my old Sony Studio Monitors that I've used for years and they don't have a carrying case. Other than than they sound great and look very cool in white similar to Dre's Beats.

Comments about Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White):
I use it as a amateur deejay for house party and private event.
i have to say that it can bring all sounds you really need and a wow effect from your friends - they all like my gig and the headphone!!
I like the way the right speaker can swing backward to monitor the sound while you are cueing the music with the left one.
It has all the power and comfort for long hour wearing.
The only thing is that the plastic & leather work seems to be a little poor quality - but it's up to your budget from the beginning.

Comments about Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White):
I bought these headphones for DJing andI absolutely love them.
It has a nice sleek design and on top of that it has the ability to swivel for the right ear.
I thought that the white color might get dirty and scuffed up, but so far there has been nothing wrong.
Also, it comes with two cords, one for DJing and one for out on the street.
Not to mention the audio quality is superb.
The only thing I have to say that is bad about these are that they do not fold up and dont seem to be the sturdiest of headphones.

Comments about Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White):
These headphones are great! The look, the feel, they are definitely the best bang for the buck. I also own technics, which for me feel very heavy, but perform well and are built like tanks. These feel very solid and have the perfect DJ pivot on the right cuff making them very comfortable to wear. I highly recommend these headphones!

Comments about Pioneer HDJ-500K Professional DJ Headphones (White):
Ok so I was looking for a good pair of DJ Headphones under $125. I chose these because of the 2 cords and the white color. (it looks so sick in person) I am a DJ, I use a Numark Mixtrack Pro (awesome). These headphones are great. I thought they would be a little small on my ears, but they fit well and they isolate sound very well. The bass is good, but I've heard better. That is not to say that they are not good. The mids are smooth, and the highs are clear. They are nice and light, and they have the "fashion" appeal. The cushions are good, the cover material is comfortable. I totally recommend these headphones. Definitely worth the [$]
