Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX

The latest version of Pioneer DJ's HDJ headphone ranges comes in the form of their HDJ-CX on-ear professional DJ headphones. They're built to last, and are incredibly sturdy but still so lightweight you may even forget you're wearing them! Pioneer DJ have designed them both for absolute comfort, but also tuned to deliver crisp and tight audio with a wide range for mixing and monitoring in any environment.

As well as being incredibly light – weighing just 136g without the cable – the HDJ-CX headphones are ergonomically designed to minimize any stress to the head, neck, or shoulders. The weight distribution of the headband and the earcups, as well as the thickness of the headband cushion, have been carefully adjusted for optimal balance. The diameter of the wire inside the included cables has been reduced and the position of the spiral on the coiled version has been shifted closer to the plug that connects to the mixer, so it balances better with the straight section. What’s more, the stainless steel headband features a ladder-like structure for extra flexibility and stress resistance so DJs can easily find their perfect fit.

The HDJ-CX headphones have been designed from scratch with a brand-new driver unit and special tuning to deliver crystal-clear audio. The new PEEK-PU-PEEK composite film diaphragm1 provides tight sound and a frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz. This means DJs can clearly hear the kicks, snare drums, and hi-hats for precise monitoring and mixing in any environment. he φ35mm driver units realize the input power to reach 2,000 mW – the maximum enabled by the rigid magnetic circuit design – but also minimize distortion, even at high volume. What’s more, the bass reflex chambers in the housings improve low frequency response even further while the sound insulators create a higher level of audio insulation, so DJs will hear the full bass sound along with every nuance in the music.

The HDJ-CX headphones are rugged and built to last. All the components are extra tough, including the steel core of the headband. Made to withstand the rigors of constant use on the road, they’ve passed demanding tests that other professional Pioneer DJ headphones are subjected to, as well as the stringent US Military Standard MIL-STD-810H Shock test.

DJs can set up these headphones the way they like by choosing from the 2 supplied cables – straight or coiled. To make sure the ¼” plug adapter never gets lost, there’s a holder for it which can be neatly clipped onto the cable so it’s always at hand. A pair of replacement ear pads are also included, and DJs can expect them to come in handy eventually because these headphones will last a long time if they’re well looked after.
