Pioneer HDJ-2000 Written Review
By: Steven Williams (Williams.Steven2722@gmail.com)
The Pioneer HDJ-2000 are currently at the very top of the Pioneer professional DJ headphone range and in terms of looks, comfort, functionality and clarity, money can’t buy much better. These headphones can handle just about anything you can throw at them whether you’re in the studio, in the club, or just relaxing at home.
The most important feature is the sound quality and the HDJ-2000 has this in abundance. From the deepest bass notes to the highest treble notes perfect sound is produced thanks to the 50mm dome driver units and high-flux magnets with no distortion even under frightening conditions, and can handle a deafening 3,500 mW all night long (however that’s not recommended). The design of the headphones means that resonance is non-existent, while the responsiveness is raised higher than ever for the really deep bass notes, due to a 1.5 mm voice coil and a 38 micrometers diaphragm which might not mean much but towers over the models lower down the range.
In the club it can be hard to monitor you’re sounds because of the background music, but the HDJ-2000 importantly create a tight seal round your ears so you can precisely control you’re mixing. In addition to this the pads are protein leather covered with a low-rebound urethane meaning a better and tighter fit and more comfy than ever which is very important if you’re Djing the whole night.
A common feature in recent headphones design, the 90 degree swivel ear cups that are employed on the HDJ-2000; useful for the DJ who prefers ‘on-shoulder’ style. For more monitoring versatility the headphones Mono/Stereo switch which works very well for single ear use.
For added convenience the Pioneer HDJ-2000 can be folded up and have a removable mini XLR connector for compact transportation.
In addition to the headphones you receive a gold plated 6.3mm 3P plug adapter and carrying bag in the set.
Pros:
-Stereo/Mono switch
-Up to 3,500 mW input
-Tight comfortable ear seal
-Thick diaphragm and long voice coil
-High resolution 50mm dome driver units
-High flux magnets
-6.3 mm gold plated threaded type plug adapter and carrying bad included
-Gig proof solid metal frame
-Removable mini XLR connector
Cons:
-The ear pads don’t quite swivel 90-degree, probably due to its metal frame.
Pioneer HDJ-2000 Headphones Features
High-Fidelity Sound Design Made for Pro DJs
Long known for being among the best DJ headphone creators, Pioneer has created the HDJ-2000 headphones. The newest in Pioneer’s DJ headphones, the HDJ-200 has the high sound quality needed for professional use. With a driver unit featuring a diaphragm of the best material and optimal thickness, a voice coil for good balance from bass to treble, and a large, high flux magnet 2” in diameter, the HDJ-2000 pro headphones catch dance music beats (bass drums and cymbal rhythms) needed for DJ performances.
As DJ headphones, the HDJ-2000 provide superior sound insulation to make it easy to cue up the next track, even in noisy clubs and discos. The insulating material inside the headphones was also carefully selected and ear pads provide a tight seal, contributing to clear reproduction of mid to high sound ranges with subtle nuances. While known as DJ headphones, these headphones are also suitable for professional use in studios.
Snug Fit For Comfortable Use Even In Long Sessions
The HDJ-2000 DJ headphones offers an excellent fit with various ingenious details for comfortable use even in long sessions.
• Made with a soft touch. The HDJ-2000’s flexible protein leather has a soft, natural feel is used for ear pad/head pad surfaces that touch the skin.
• Snug fit. Low-rebound urethane foam is used inside the ear pads and head pad. Designed to fit over the shape of the head, maintaining comfort even in long sessions.
• Minimizes stress on the head, ensuring comfortable DJ play with magnesium alloy components are used for the main body for both light weight and durability.
Excellent Durability And Toughness For Demanding Professional DJs
The durability of the DJ headphone plug and connecting parts joining the main body and the cable has been improved, achieving construction robust enough to withstand professional use. The removable Mini XLR connector also makes it easy to replace the cable if it breaks.
New I-Type Hinge Structure For Functionality And Design
With a new i-type hinge, a smooth and integral form has been achieved that naturally fits the hands at any moment during DJ play. The headphone’s ear pads have a spun finish aluminum ring that matches the design of Pioneer CDJ player play/cue buttons, for a simple and stylish design.
Other DJ Features:
• Folding headphone: It folds into a compact configuration for easy carrying.
• Carry pouch: It comes with a pouch for carrying.
• Swivel mechanism: The housing turns 90 degrees for more convenient single-ear, on-shoulder, and various other monitoring styles. It automatically goes back to the original position after it is swiveled.
• Click mechanism: It clicks into place to prevent inadvertent rotation or folding of the headphones during use.
• MONO/STEREO switch: Ensures monitoring even with single-ear monitoring.
