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

Product Information

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.

The use of polyurethane leather complete with nano coating helps the headband and cups repel dirt, sweat and liquids. Both the headband and cups feel well padded. Weighing in at just 328g, the X10 headphones are great for extended listening sessions. The Build Quality The sound stage makes the modulation in things like electronic music feel much wider than it would with similar headphones in the range. 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 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. The independent ground wire in the 4-core twisted-structure cable gives superior left and right channel separation, improving sound quality. In addition, the HDJ-X10 model features a highly reliable, detachable mini-XLR connector for outstanding sound quality. The comfortable fit and the noise isolation would make this an excellent choice if you’re looking for a pair of headphones to use in an office when you don’t want anyone to bother you at work. Hi-Res Audio Credit: Pioneer DJ Although certain features, like the access to Hi-Res sound, might not seem particularly important, they’re definitely nice to have. It’s also worth remembering that there’s more to the HDJ-X10 DJ headphones than novelty features.

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. As mentioned above, the HDJ-X10 are some of the more durable headphones available today – stringently tested to the highest standards. 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. In 1994, Pioneer began its trajectory into the world of DJ audio. Now, in 2017, Pioneer has released its flagship DJ headphones, the HDJ-X10. So how do these headphones perform when looking at them under a microscope? I’m about to find out with this full Pioneer HDJ-X10 Headphones Review. Pioneer HDJ-X10 Headphones Review – The DJ’s Workhorse In the BoxThe 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.

Left to right imaging is impressively accurate. It makes modulation, especially in electronic music, sound bigger and wider than other headphones in the price range. The top to bottom imaging isn’t as accurate, but still achieves depth from the subbiness of the low-end. 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. Today, Pioneer DJ fans can access everything from state-of-the-art controllers to turntables and even headphones. Probably one of the biggest differences between the Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 and the items that came before it is the extremely wide soundstage that you get with this new investment. The headphones feature an entirely new audio design and, thanks to the fresh 50mm HD drivers, are the world’s first pro DJ headphones to recreate high-resolution sound, producing frequencies from 5 Hz all the way to 40 kHz. A Bass Reflex Chamber means these headphones are able to replicate the richest of bass tones as well as pristine mid to high frequencies, even when monitoring at loud volumes.

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.
