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

Product Information

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 new carrying case is flatter, which makes it slip into DJ bags easier (the HDJ-2000MK2 had a bulky clamshell case that reminded me of the UFOs in the TV series “V”), though I found it to be a less rigid than I would’ve liked. Inside the case are four slots for SD cards and a pouch for thumb drives on one side, and a compartment for the HDJ-X10 headphones in the other. No doubt Pioneer DJ has aimed these headphones straight at club DJs who spin with CDJ media players – if that’s you, then this bag will be the only thing you need.

First headphones in the world to reproduce frequencies from 5 Hz to 40 kHz in the DJ headphones market (according to research conducted by Pioneer DJ Corporation Ltd, 21st August 2017). 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.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.

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 HDJ-X10’s do not lose any sound quality because of mechanical loss, this is due to the diaphragm and voice coil working perfectly in harmony, whilst the 4-core twisted-structure headphone cable ensures you are getting flawless left and right channel separation. When using the X10s with a TOUR1 or NXS2 set-up the headphones really come into a league of their own, giving you high-definition 96 kHz/24-bit audio with amazing clarity so you can monitor better than ever before.

There are four slots for SD cards in the Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 case, as well as a pouch for your thumb drives on one side. V-Moda M-200 – Built for studio use, these flatter headphones will suit producers and audiophile listeners slightly better. The independent ground wire in the 4-core twisted-structure cable gives superior left and right channel separation, improving sound quality.These are more likely to give you better noise cancellation than leading consumer products like the Bose Quiet Comforts, for instance. Built with 50mm HD drivers, the HD-X10 was the worlds first DJ headphone to r eproduce high-resolution sound from 5 Hz to 40 kHz (V-Moda Crossfader M-100 Master also now feature high resolution audio). The 32 Ω impedance allows the phone to be easily driven by a phone, laptop or DJ mixer, easily reaching 102dB of volume at its peak. However despite its loud volume, the X10 remains incredibly balanced with just a slight boost the lows and highs. The Pioneer DJ HDJ-X10 headphones are the world’s first DJ headphones to produce high-resolution sound ranging from 5 Hz to 40 kHz When connected to our flagship TOUR1 set up or the NXS2 set-up, you can experience up to 96 kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio reproduction with superb clarity and sound separation. And in another world first for DJ headphones,3 the ear pads and headband on the HDJ-X10 model are protected from sweat and dirt by water repellent nano coating. This means you can keep your headphones looking fresh and easily prolong their lifespan with regular cleaning.
