Pioneer HDJ-1500 Headphones

I have the white ones. I used to always get black of everything - but recently decided it was time for a change. So more and more of my gear is turning white these days.

The HDJ-1500 are good DJ headphones. Their strength is in good isolation in loud environment. They are comfortable and you can move them easy on and off your ears. They are not super true sounding. Instead, they are heavier on the bass, which I prefer in a DJ session. I read multiple times, and several DJ friends also confirmed, that the hinges tend to break. I believe it. Yeah, my V-Moda M80s feel all around more solid, but they don't have hinges, either. The cushions of the HDJ-1500 can be replaced. You find them on Ebay. The cord is soft and coiled. It has a smaller connection to the cans than the Beats Studio. So be aware of this, when ordering a replacement cord. The screw-on 3.5mm to 1/4" Adaptor is not the best quality. One little ring fell out of it, just after a few weeks. Not a big deal, though. [Update:] The rubber coating of the cans turned into a sticky mess. I removed it with rubbing alcohol or Goo-be-gone. (I don't remember, which one I used in this case.) Now the cans have a cheap look. This made the rating drop from 4 to 3 stars.

Bottom line: The HDJ-1500 are very functional (five stars) and sound good (four stars). I would give them four and a half stars, if I would not be so concerned about their durability. This drags it down to four stars.

My preferred headphones, for DJing. In white, of course, to match my controller :P

Good range Burning lovu ......

This model is great for Doing at some really loud parties. The only reason that this headphones are my second favorite for Doing is because they are too heavy.

Mid level headphone, loud volume.

From what i could read, Pioneer HDJ-1500 could be good Headphones to start mixing.

good headphones but lack comfort that they should have they fold up nicely and have a jack adapter thatt fits most mixers.

I use them as my daily drivers. Pretty comfy, sounds pretty decent. I got 2 of them.

Edit for more detail:

I never really hear about these headphones from anyone or any countdown list, but i saw the design and thought they looked pretty sleek and attractive. They aren't too pricey, so lets test them out. I was taken by surprise the dynamic of the sound. All your ranges were there. I didnt need to carry an amp everywhere with me for these (most of my headphones are high impedance), so i use these with my phone and at work (they let me listen to music there).

I dont DJ, so i don't know how they work in that environment. I would assume you want something lightweight, versitile, durable, and somewhat compact and portable. I would say they pass on all those aspects.

Comfortablility: I can wear them all day at my 9-5 job. I only pull them off just to hear what my boss has to say. The pads are like soft little pillows. I dare say they have the softness of large ample breast with the precision and finesse of smaller perkier ones. The band doesn't clamp on your head like vicegrips or the jaw of an alligator, so even as on-ear cups, they dont hurt after a while. But Ill be honest with one thing though. I have 2 pairs of these, one white and one black. The white ones i had felt much more softer around my ears. The black ones i had were much harder. But after about 2 week break in period they were better. I can say from first hand experience that the quality control on the cushion of these headphones are noticeable.

Overall I enjoy these underrated headphones. They look really sleek and offer a dynamic sound. Fair warning though: If you get them in white, things will start to turn yellow.
