PioneerHDJ-X7-S Over-Ear DJ Headphones, Silver

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 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.

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

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.

These work great on the studio and dancefloor. They're super neutral (don't color the sound), which is great for mixing / mastering.The noise cancellation is also very effective -- great for cueing tracks in a loud environment. I also have no concerns about their durability!The one gripe is that they are uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, but I suppose that's necessary to keep them over my ears in a booth environment!

The sound quality is superb! Fit is nice and snug the way it should be for DJs, if you have a big head then yeah they will feel uncomfortable after a while 😆. They look great and Pioneer did not disappoint with these. Now the only thing left to see is durability. Highly recommend.

I do a lot of music editing and I find that the sound is very accurate the mids, bass and high tones are spot on. I did a lot of research and after reading various articles on headphones, these are much, mush stronger build than regular headphones and you can still hear your stereo sound as it feels as if it is a surround sound headphone. I will be honest and say, however, these are not for the occasional audiophile as they might not enjoy these because sound only comes from 1 earcup as the left one is used for mixing audio tracks.

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.
