PIONEERDJ HDJ-X7 Professional Over-Ear DJ Headphones (Black)

I found these and took a chance on them. So glad I did cause these are some great headphones. Sound quality is excellent and they are easy to store in the carry bag when my gigs are over

I bought the X10s first and was disappointed. My buddy suggested X7s and I was apprehensive. But they're great! Love these!I have also owned the Odio headphones. They are really pretty good too, just lighter and less premium feeling as these X7s. They shook around on my head more and I could hear more outside sounds through them. The X7s are more insulated from outside distractions.I DJ.

UPDATE: 9 months later... no problem issues. No cracks, ear pads haven’t peeled. Speaker break-in has started to deliver more low end bass. I’ve got to admit, I’m surprised! Still hangin the 5-stars on em!UPDATE: 3 months in. Used 6 days/week, 8 hrs/day, on & off my head - No cracks on housing, anywhere. No pleather peeling. Jack/cable internal solders all holding up.Just got the HDJ-X7's today. I'm a radio DJ & have exclusively used the Pioneer HDJ-1500's since they came out in 2012... The X7's have a “different“ emcee monitor sound vs. 1500's. They’re clean in sound w/ a dramatically crisp audio punch, without any over-the-top forced low-end bass. Don’t get me wrong, the low-end bass is PLENTY strong with their new configuration on these. Seems as the mids range (voice-over) are toned down a bit on these. They truly sit OVER the ear vs. 1500's on-ear, which is likely what makes the bass hits naturally deeper. (Full over ear design could also be main reason mid-range hZ seem dialed back.) Still, these have a better overall sound quality than the 3 pairs of Beats studios, pair of AKG K702's, Sony MDR7506's & Sennheiser HD25's that are occupying my bottom desk drawer, have - Hands down!Construction: Gave the 4-star for “material” seeing that I just in-boxed & used for the first time. So I’m still cautiously-optimistic on the fence. — The HDJ-1500’s were a step up in construction/material to their HDJ-1000 predecessor. All in all: 5 sets of 1000’s in 4 years + 4 sets of 1500’s in 8 years... Seems as though construction has become better with each model release. Daily work-use can be tough. Time will tell & updates will be written!Parts: Having replaceable ear pads & cords are a HUGE plus! ...specially ‘cuz nobody likes duct-taped headphones or peel-y black PU “dandruff” gunk on your ears/face/clothes!

I started DJ'ing in 2010 but I used the same pair of Pioneer HDJ 500 for about 12-13 years. The headband broke on one side and I gorilla taped it. The other side broke and I taped it. I used them this way for 2 or 3 years, never being sure what to replace them with since the 500's were no longer in production and I couldn't find them anywhere online still new in box. I purchased several other headphones but was never happy with the fit or sound. I watched countless YouTube reviews about many headphones including these but was never really sure. I FINALLY decided to pull the trigger and try these. I have to say I am very happy with them. The sound is very similar to the HDJ 500 in my opinion, which is exactly what I hoped for. While they do fit a bit differently, it's not uncomfortable at all. I have noticed that sometimes I tend to get a bit sweatier around the ear cups with these but that's not a huge issue. I have used these now for four months and overall I am very satisfied I finally bought these.

So I have used many DJ headphones in the last 15 years. For the money first off these are very good quality with very good sound quality.If you are an audio enthusiast these might leave you wanting a little more but if you’re looking for something that has good sound recreation and can get pretty loud for those situations you need to be able to hear what’s going on in your headphones these are really nice. I have larger ears and find that mini headphones cause me discomfort after about 25 minutes these however have not given me any issues even up to a couple of hours. These headphones are slightly bass heavy but not overly done all in all the sound comes through pretty flat. I DJ mostly EDM and old-school hip-hop and these are definitely doing well for me.As I stated these are not your flagship top-of-the-line models and they could have a few improvements. All in all I would say these are a solid bargain for the money if you’re looking for something for at home use or something that can still be taken to the club or a party and they used with confidence.

My last pair of headphones were very uncomfortable. I use the to DJ and they are super comfortable on and around my neck. Great sound.

I'm coming from a pair of Roland RH-300s. The Roland headphones have a flat response and help a lot during mixing. The HDJ-X7 give me a nice A/B sort of test when mixing. Yes, it's a bit odd to use DJ headphones for mixing, but the sound quality of these, in my opinion, represent the frequencies in a way that's very pleasing and full. The bass cuts through nicely, but it's not over powering. The highs cut through as well.The HDJ-X7 are comfortable on the head and can be worn for long periods of time.

Great design, great built quality, great sound, and feels very sturdy. I mean there is really not much more you need if you looking for good all around travel/DJ head phones. I wouldn't really classify this as top sound quality top tier but the sound and bass is good and the sturdy design alone is a huge relief if you're someone like me who travels and plays at gigs here or there.
