i had the HDJ--CUE1 for over a year now love these headphones

Been waiting for this review.

Been using the few times and they are great starting headphones .

I have been using the BT version now for over a year. They get heavy usage during the weekdays at the gym and on the weekends at DJ gigs. They have held up really well considering the abuse I give them. I also have the X10s and I love them as well. The CUE 1 are the perfect gigging headphones for the beach, or that club/bar where stuff goes missing. If these go missing it won’t set you back $370 like the X10s.

Thanks for the review :)

These headphones are absolute tanks, my #1 recommendation for kids, whether they're into DJing or not. After my kid cracked a bunch of $20 headphones, I got one of these, and they've lasted two years, still looking and working as good as new. When rotated, the ear cups are about as thick as the headband, so the headphones can be packed flat. Great for throwing into a school bag.

The Pioneer’s are solid. I love my HDJ Cue1. Pioneer tends to make really huge earcups and I’ve never been a fan. These are comfortable and fit my ears perfectly.

Great video

These are probably the best ones in certain budget area. I love them

I use the Audio Technica Headphones on the advice of a drummer. I have no problems and they came with both soft and hard cases for travel. I've used them at home and on the road. They have never let me down.

I used Sony MDR-7506s for DJing until I lost my pair, Now I have a couple pairs of MDR_V6s, both are very comfortable and have good clarity even though they are designed for production rather than DJing.

Got these headphones yesterday. They are great for hip hop, but I use an equalizer for other music genres. The base is great for audiobooks and such.

Thnx for the info

Nice Video.. looking for a second pair of headphones without like breaking the bank... I want the bluetooth, but if I use em for mixing even wired I feel like there will be something interfering... Also worried about ion batteries eventually dying and then not being of any use... Wired is always the way to go for me. Nice video.

I recently had my own shootout between HD25's and Pioneer HDJ- x5. Like Mojax, I found the Pioneer to be very bass oriented and although they had a rich warm sound, the HS25s were just so crisp and clear that I found I just couldn't justify the marginally better comfort of the Pioneer over the sound quality difference on the HD25. I also wear my headphones round my neck in-between mixes and found the X5s to be very chunky and a bit uncomfortable, so can only image what the X7s or even X10s feel like which are bigger still. I still love my Technics 1210 headphones but the replacements are £170 so out my budget. I picked up the HD25s for £109 before Christmas so if your budget is around £100 then can't imagine there's a better sounding headphone than the Sennheiser HD25s which is why I just bought my 1st pair.

HD25 all the way. Best sounding portable headphone with all parts replaceable, which is also great for djing.

I have them since June 3 2021. They have been great, now this week the black pads started to peel off. I got the green ones as they (for some reason) were $3 less It was easy to Change... And looking for another year and a half. I will buy another set and it may be a second pair (maybe bluethoot I have zero complaints. They are really bassy, but you can hear well the song, so no complaints.

I own the Cue1 BT with the pink accessory kit and bought another pink kit to use with my Technics EAH DJ1200... The cushions fit but the cable on the pioneer is proprietary so just be aware... Other then that... They're great for the price...

I am about to replace my lovely 20 yo Stanton DJ PRO 3000S. I am extremely pin point on headphones. This one could be on my list. I'll try them out.

I really like using headphones with active noise cancelling when I DJ. It's supposed to be bad for them, as the mics might break, but I've must've been lucky so far...

BT explanation was awesome. I now know, BT great for studio, BUT, no point for DJing." (also id be scared the plug came out with BT.) Cheers.

Thanku

My Beyerdymanics are 15 years old and still going strong, buy good quality they will last a long time.

What headphones are more midrange & higher frequencies?.

Is there a built in mic with the BT ?

My CUE1 has serious quality problem in ear pad and coil cable after 1 year. The ear pad started peeling off, coil cable "break" in one section (it's the plastic coil, the cable it self remain ok but there's no safety anymore) and it's not comfortable for long hour use for me. Thankfully there's HC-CP08, too bad there's no black ear pad & cable option

I got the vmoda masters

Are there pioneer headphones that don't brake?

I've been using HD25s for 5 years+ until they got stolen. It's perfect for bedroom djs, but if you play at a festival or a loud club, you have to crank the volume very high since the isolation is very poor. Yes - sound quality is great, but it's been a hassle to beatmatch more than once in a really loud environment.

Are the cue better Than the entry level x5?

Sennheiser HD 25 - Best affordable DJ Headphone in the market!

What's the difference between these and the x5BT?

If @PioneerDJ was smart, they would have a low latency wireless transmitter built into their mixers, patent it whatever protocol they develop, then build it into their headphones so we can finally get good wireless headphones for djing. such a HUGE opportunity they are missing. They would kill in the headphone market because if you wanted to benefit from the eco system you would HAVE to buy their headphones.

I switched from 10 year old hd25's to pioneer x5. 2 years of light use and they're completely broken. Never again

I remember using a cheap pair of Pioneer headphones every DJ was using in the nineties (forgot the type) for the simple fact that they were closed, unbreakable, and incredibly loud, which was all that counted back then. They sounded horrible but you could mix with them in a loud environment. That was until I upgraded to the Sennheiser HD25 II in the 2000's and never looked back since then. I still use these and this is basically the only headphone a DJ ever needs, the rest is just fluff.

i use the hdj cue1 for gaming/music because i won them

"Street price" how much are they from the shops ?

I love my Beats By Dre Pro headphones. Have it 10 years already. Replaced my pads & cable, but for durability, I think one can't go wrong

Check out the OneOdio DJ Pro 10…. £35.00… bloody bargain and the build, sound & accessories are amazing.

I hate on-ear ... Too uncomfortable on ear cartilage... Also be interesting to know how hinge lasts... All my previous pioneers have cracked St hinge

I tested a lot and now I'm on AIAIAI wireless. I don't like Pioneer, too expensive for what they bring to the table. Not the HD-25 fan either. I have a V-Moda for backup.

I bought my pioneer cue 1 headphone in 2021 Feb and now it's 2024 July One side of the earpiece is not working Since it's a budgeted headphone i deeply recommend hd 25 plus

All you need is the HD-25

They need WiFi headphones for DJs. Hate when wires yank when leaving the booth. We have the technology!

All meat n taters no fluff👍

I think the best DJ headphone in the history was Sony MDR V700.

Can anyone make Headphones that don’t break? All my at least 15 pairs over 27 years of DJing all broke!Most spent $250 and cheaper $150 for Headphones so not cheap ones too!

Micro usb instead of usbC… whyyyy?

why do these headphones hurt so much omg

I’m forever braking headphones

*Sennheiser HD 25* *There you go. Video is over.*

Brace yourself for the HD 25 fanboys LOL

If you break any headphones after two weeks you're doing something wrong. 🤔

"Not every DJ uses headphones all the time" And there you have it. Modern "DJ'ing" in a nutshell - hackery and gobshitery

Pioneer headphones are junk. They will break in your hands. They broke after 2 years of regular gig use, my Xone xd53s from 2011 outlasted my pioneers (whatever series they were) and 11 years later, i still use them at every gig. don’t waste your money with pioneer headphones.
