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

Product Information

Although some people won’t appreciate the largely plastic build of the Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10, it’s worth remembering that this doesn’t make your headphones any flimsier, or less effective. Sound quality is often the first thing that DJs think about when buying a new set of headphones. However, you won’t be able to get the most out of your investment if you can’t bear to wear your new cans. The stereo fields are almost exaggerated in style, with the feeling that you’re sitting inside of a piece of music, rather than just feeling it thrown right in front of you. To help you find the perfect fit, the HDJ-X headphones feature a flexible, durable headband. Passing our stringent test to open and close 20,000 times, it’s built to withstand intense use. Keep your headphones looking fresh for longer. The polyurethane leather ear pads and headband cushion on the HDJ-X10 headphones are resistant to deterioration thanks to the use of nano coating, a world first for DJ headphones, so you can easily wipe off sweat and dirt.

These are more likely to give you better noise cancellation than leading consumer products like the Bose Quiet Comforts, for instance. 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.The carrying case is resilient but compact, making it a great choice when you need something to slip into your kit bag. Older products in the HDJ line were more likely to feature bulky cases. The headphones also feature a swivel mechanism that allows for one-ear monitoring, and a foldable design that makes them easy to transport. They come with two detachable cables, one straight and one coiled, and are compatible with a range of devices thanks to their versatile connectivity. The Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 headphones are lightweight, but not so much that they feel cheap or flimsy. These headphones are predominantly made with plastic, with an ear cup and headphone design that evolves from the previous HDJ-2000MK2. These are DJ headphones that can withstand regular use, no matter how much time and effort you put into your DJ career.

The polyurethane leather ear pads and headband cushion are resistant to deterioration thanks to the use of nano coating, so you can easily wipe off sweat and dirt. The Crossfade range has recently hit its third iteration. Changes include a variety of new colour options and a slightly punchier sound. The headline feature of Crossfade 3, however, is the improved wireless battery life, quoted as up-to 30 hours from a single charge. On top of that, you get a comfortable design suitable for all-day wear, and durability that offers complete peace of mind. Pioneer HDJ-X7 Vs Pioneer HDJ-X10 Comparison Review IN the BOX – Pioneer HDJ-X7 vs Pioneer HDJ-X10 Pioneer HDJ-X7Stay 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. 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. As mentioned above, the HDJ-X10 are some of the more durable headphones available today – stringently tested to the highest standards. These great cans possess a brilliant sound quality that’s right on par with some of the most expensive headphones on the market today.

When all has been said, both the X10 and X7 are great DJ headphones, and neither will disappoint. They’ll probably both last forever too. But if you’re already dishing out serious dough, I personally think it’s worth the investment to go for the Pioneer X10.Although it’s hard to say for certain that they can persevere through anything without months of experimentation – they seem durable. The independent ground wire in the 4-core twisted-structure cable gives superior left and right channel separation, improving sound quality. The Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 and HDJ-X10 bundle is the ultimate DJ setup for professional DJs and aspiring music producers. This bundle includes the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 controller and the HDJ-X10 headphones, which together provide seamless mixing and exceptional sound quality. I tried it with the CDJ-2000NXS2 / DJM-900NXS2 set-up I had in my studio and, lo and behold, I couldn’t tell the difference – I don’t have “golden ears” or amazing aural sensitivities that can go beyond the threshold of human hearing, but I could not find a significant difference between dance music WAV files and hi-res FLAC files. Headbands are typically where DJ headphones break, and the Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 has a flexible and resilient headband that won’t snap in two, even if you twist it around or wring it like a sweaty DJ’s towel. It just won’t break! That’s great news, especially for heavy-handed DJs like me who have already broken headphones this way (went through two pairs of Beats headphones at gigs, if you wanted to know).
