The Pioneer HDJ-500 headphones have good overall sound quality, they come with two types of cables, they are very comfortable and lightweight, and they have a cool rotating right earpiece. In conclusion the Pioneer HDJ-500’s are some great headphones for the price. Overall, the highs are nice and crisp, while the bass is extra punchy. Live instruments, snares, and bass all sound really good on these headphones and I would say they are extremely comparable to other $100 DJ headphones that we have tested on the site in terms of sound quality. In some rare, high-volume instances, the bass would occasionally lose some of its crispiness but not so much as to lessen the experience. I was able to use these headphones on two separate mixers and one controller where the HDJ-500 headphones could handle the sound at extremely high levels. These features allow the HDJ-500’s to maintain better-than-average reproduction of the lower frequency range. They have 40mm diameter drivers with thick diaphragms and with copper-clad aluminum wire voice coil. ![]() The Sound Quality of the HDJ-500 headphones is really good. For the most part, the Pioneer HDJ-500 headphones must stay in a fully open mode for traveling and storage. The only gripe with the design that I have is that there is no way to completely collapse or fold these headphones in a good way for traveling or storage. The headphones overall are very light! They are made with a magnesium alloy core wrapped in hard plastic to keep the weight down and the durability high making them great for traveling DJ’s or for long periods of use. ![]() When I first saw this feature, I didn’t think it would come in handy, but as I began to use them, this was one of my favorite features of them all. At that position, the flexible headband maintains enough side pressure to allow the DJ to listen to audio on just one side of the headphones without them moving around on the DJ’s head. The right-side earpiece has a 60-degree swivel where it connects to the headband allowing the DJ to work with a “one-ear-on and one-ear-off” configuration while staying perfectly still on the DJ’s head. The Pioneer HDJ-500 headphones also have a unique feature that I have grown to love over the past few weeks I have used them. The padding is wrapped in real authentic leather meaning it will last for a long time and provide even more comfort. The earpieces and headband on the HDJ-500’s are made of urethane padding which actually has memory and provides crazy amounts of comfort during short and long performances. Then when it is time to gig the same DJ can now break out the longer 9ft coiled cable for that extra mobility needed during a performance. ![]() I love it when headphone-makers give the user the option of either having a long coiled cable or a short straight cable, because usually when playing at home or bedroom the DJ only needs a short cable without any extra dangling cable in the way. There is a 9ft Coiled cable and a 3ft Straight cable. Starting at the bottom the HDJ-500’s come with two different cables. The Design of the Pioneer HDJ-500 Headphones is fantastic! Almost everything a DJ would want is incorporated into this design.
