The Pioneer DJ HDJ-CUE1BT-K DJ Headphones with Bluetooth are the next step up from the HDJ CUE1 we reviewed last year and for me living my wireless headphones it is nice to see these in a wireless version.
These are built really well and are a clean looking pair of headphones for DJ headphones this must be the case with strengthened stress points on these they are built to last, joints is one of the main areas that go on headphones but these are built here and it is visible in comparison to your standard headphones. The ratchet style extensions are made with metal rather than plastic and the headband is tough too also so are the arms holding the cups. Some might feel edgy seeing lots of screw but trust me they last and my old pair is still going strong that I have given to my daughter who is by far not the most caring with all the headphones and earbuds passed down.
These are comfortable given the smaller cups than I would like they isolate much of the noise once placed on the head and there is no ANC or App available there is no clamp effect either and can be worn for long term use too however this may vary per person as all our heads are not the same. Comfort is important and for a DJ especially which I am not so and they will be happy here at the level of comfort here and lightweight for general use at home and so on.
There is some controls this time around too and if you run out of battery you can plug in direct with the cable provide, the buttons are raised nicely and large enough even for my big fingers to navigate. With no app you have no control over the EQ but these are designed for DJs and I have some woofers here etc I can plug into and it all sound great, you can also play and pause skip and reverse tracks and higher and lower the volume.
The sound is bass heavy via my smartphone and that is how I like it and once tuned up to the max you will not hear a thing outside so you can soak in all that bass in peace and quiet. Highs lows and mids are all fine and any genre tested but again bass heavy which many folk like out there.
Overall these are not expensive headphones now and give you great comfort and an enjoyable listening experience and lets you sit back and relax or lie down where the buttons cannot be interfered with and enjoy your music or films on Netflix. They are robust and will last and anyone in the market looking for such headphones which can be used in a hybrid manner should check them out.
