Pioneer HDJ-X10-S Professional DJ Headphone, Silver, (HDJX10S)

Product Information

On the plus side, you do get a lot of extra bonuses with these headphones, including Hi-Res certification that you simply can’t find anywhere else. Credit: Pioneer DJ Stay on top of your game with the HDJ-X10, designed with input from professional DJs to serve you in every circumstance, from festivals to clubs. The HDJ-X10s are the world’s first DJ headphones 1 to produce high-resolution sound ranging from 5 Hz to 40 kHz, allowing you to hear frequencies other DJ headphones can’t reproduce. Make an even deeper connection to the music. As any pro DJ or music master in training will agree, standard DJ headphones are rarely enough for mixing and music management. You need something more accurate, robust, and reliable if you’re going to make the most of your career.

However, it’s easy to get used to the new fit of the HDJ-X when you consider just how comfortable they are.Count on long-term, reliable performance from your HDJ-X headphones. A 2-year warranty has got you covered. The first thing you’ll notice is that the bass response in these cans is a little more pronounced compared to the previous versions. If you think that the previous headphones didn’t have much bass compared to the other DJ headphones models on the market, then the Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 will solve that problem for you. Compared to previous products like the HDJ-2000MK2 which acted as inspiration for the HDJ-X10s, there are some things you might miss from the older products. The slimmer form factor of the 2000MK2 DJ headphones will be more appealing to some. Comfortable fit: The ear cups are made with synthetic leather and memory foam, providing a comfortable and snug fit for long DJ sets.

Pioneer DJ recently debuted three new DJ headphones: the HDJ-X5, HDJ-X7, and HDJ-X10. Dubbed the “HDJ-X” series, these cans replaced the company’s current line of HDJ-2000MK2 / 1500 / 1000 line. The headphones feature a new design, and the HDJ-X10 in particular has Pioneer DJ’s new nano-coated sweat-resistant ear pads for comfort during extended use. It also has Pioneer DJ’s HD speaker drivers, making the HDJ-X10 the first “Hi-Res” DJ headphone that the company has produced (its HRM-7 studio headphones released over a year ago also has HD speaker drivers onboard, though they aren’t meant for gig use). The Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 won’t deteriorate with regular use – even around the headband, a common problem for DJ headphones. Because Pioneer has created something resilient and flexible for their headset, they can guarantee that your device won’t just snap when you’re a little vigorous with them. That’s why Pioneer DJ created theHDJ-X10 headset. These headphones are a great investment, and some of the nicest earphones Pioneer has made. Pioneer DJ’s budget headphones take many of the winning design choices from the brand’s more expensive HDJs – feature elsewhere in this guide – and bring them down to a price point to suit beginners and cash-strapped DJs.

SPECIFICATIONS – Pioneer HDJ-X7 vs Pioneer HDJ-X10Headphones in general are increasingly going wireless, relying on, or at least incorporating, Bluetooth technology over traditional wired connections. But is this an asset in a set of headphones for DJing? We’d argue that, on the whole, it’s best to avoid wireless headphones for mixing. While latency is becoming less of an issue with modern Bluetooth technology, it does still exist, and timing is incredibly important when beatmatching. What’s more, your DJ setup is likely to require you to stay within arms reach of a mixer, turntables, CDJs or controller anyway. Unless you’re desperate to dance, thrust or climb your way around the stage during your sets, is it really worth the extra cost - and potentially of dead batteries scuppering your set - of going cable-free? How we test DJ headphones The Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 are a lot bulkier than their predecessors, but they’re still relatively lightweight, so they don’t rub against the crown of your head too much. The mids and highs are quite similar between the HDJ-X10 and HDJ-2000MK2, and if there are differneces then they are subtle enough for you not to her a marked difference when auditioning the two headphones. While the sonic specs, such as impedance and frequency response, don’t quite match Pioneer’s top-end cans, they’re still very impressive for a set of entry level DJ headphones. Sonically, these outstip many of the more expensive pairs on the market. Four-channel mixer: The DDJ-FLX10 includes a four-channel mixer that can be used to connect multiple sound sources, including turntables and CDJs.

Pioneer DJ have created a new series of professional DJ headphones designed to provide an experience unlike any other. The HDJ-X10 headphones are the brand new flagship model and have been specially designed for professional DJs to use at festivals and clubs. Not only are they extremely durable, but they also reproduce frequencies other headphones simply cannot. This allows you to connect with both your music and audience on a whole new level and provides an entirely new DJing experience. The HDJ-X10’s do not lose any sound quality because of mechanical loss, this is due to the diaphragm and voice coil working perfectly in harmony, whilst the 4-core twisted-structure headphone cable ensures you are getting flawless left and right channel separation. When using the X10s with a TOUR1 or NXS2 set-up the headphones really come into a league of their own, giving you high-definition 96 kHz/24-bit audio with amazing clarity so you can monitor better than ever before. Pioneer recommends items like the CDJ-2000NXS2 for this, but you can look around to find out what works best for your kit.These are some of the most comfortable over-ear headphones on the market. The tension on the headband is just enough to feel as though it’s not going to slip without being overbearing. These features work well and the NC-Q1s sound good too. However, they’re inherently more complex in-use than the straightforward passive pairs in this round-up. You could argue that, when you already have a multi-channel mixer and at-least two players to deal with, you probably don’t want to be thinking about your headphones’ noise cancelling too.

High-quality sound: The HDJ-X10 features a 50mm HD driver, producing a rich and powerful sound across a wide frequency range. The Pioneer DJ HDJ-X headphones feature sound quality is most likely to attract DJs who want access to extended bass frequency response, with a balanced finish across the mid-levels and highs. The sound of these headphones is pretty brilliant, with absolutely no issues whether you’re playing at low volumes or wall-breaking levels.The cables connect to the bottom of the left earcup, and they use a new four-pin connector which Pioneer DJ claims contributes to the greater clarity and sound quality of the HDJ-X10 compared to its predecessors and other models in the HDJ-X line. Today, Pioneer DJ fans can access everything from state-of-the-art controllers to turntables and even headphones. Diaphragm shape and voice coil have been optimised for high-quality sound with no quality loss due to mechanical movement.
