Pioneer DJ Professional DJ Headphones HDJ-X7-S

Very comfortable
We love these!

I really wanted to upgrade to some new Headphones, I owned some Pioneer DJ Headphones that were around 10-12 Years old & these looked like a Nice Upgrade. My Old Headphones still worked good, although the Foam padding was aged. I ordered these from Amazon & they was also the best price I could find online. I got the parcel & couldn’t wait to see how good they sounded. At first, I checked them over for any marks or scratches & they was the perfect build quality & control. They had a nice weight to them and felt good in the hand with the Metal Finishing, they should also stay on my head, especially as I might use them Cycling, the grip is slightly firm which is also good for Cycling, but, the Grip should also loosen up a bit after some use.I like to listen to Trance Music, sometimes Vocal, this can be very Bassy with lots of high Trebles and I do love Bass & high notes.1st Impression is just Pure amazing sound. The Bass is very powerful and you can really feel it. You can also hear the different bass levels from the Drums and some really good mid and treble vocals without any distortion. I was using a little mini media player and you can also alter some settings and add a Bass Boost, which I did, which gave even more Thumping to the Bass. Some people may say it is Too much Bass, so you could always alter the Equalizer settings a bit. I did listen to a few tracks and at one point, managed to get goosebumps on my arms and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, I could really feel the energy from the music & the quality of the sound managed to do this. I can’t compare these to any other Brand of Headphones in this price bracket, as I don’t own others except cheaper ones which sound naff compared to these. The current retail price is around £180, which I think is justified, the quality of these in your hand and they should also last for many Years. The Sound quality is amazing, I did listen to some tracks for a few minutes and had the volume up quite high. I can feel my eardrums also had a workout too. I am sure after a long period at these levels you can do some serious damage to your ear drums and hearing. Turning the volume down to safe levels, you can just feel the quality in the sound. Would I recommend these, of course I would. You really need to appreciate the quality of these and the metal finish in parts as well. As above, these Headphones are Very Bassy with no Distortion, if you need a Bass & Subwoofer fix from the old days, these are perfect too. Just go easy or your Hearing might get damaged, seriously they are that good. I also said I might use them for Cycling, the problem with this is I felt the music sounded just too good with these, you could easily get distracted into it and have an accident. The quality of the sound just immerses you into another level. I do currently use cheaper headphones for cycling, so these wouldn’t make a comparison to them. But, if they was compared, these are Mind Blowingly good and you can take my word for it. I have been listening to Trance & Music for 30+ Years.

L’intento era eseguire un test comparativo tra le cuffie da DJ (che non disdegnassero pure unostudio) ‘più famose’ (febbraio 2020) dei marchi storici come Sony, Denon, Technics, Pioneer e Audio Technica, tutte nella fascia di prezzo tra 100 e 200€. Le cuffie sono state collegate contemporaneamente a un amplificatore multi-uscita e ascoltate tramite loop di diversi brani, il metodo migliore per evidenziare le differenze acustiche, che sono chiare e nette. Cercavo una sostituta per le Pioneer HDJ-1500 e avevo grandi aspettative per le X7, poiché dovevano affrontare non solo il classico mixing con Serato e Traktor, ma anche sessioni in Ableton, dove è essenziale un monitoraggio preciso.Dal punto di vista dei materiali (prevalentemente metallo), della costruzione (solida e precisa), della vestibilità e dell’isolamento acustico, le X7 si sono confermate le migliori tra quelle testate. Per quanto riguarda la risposta alle alte frequenze, l’unica cuffia che ha fatto leggermente meglio è l’ATH-M50X di Audio Technica, sebbene con qualche compromesso in altri aspetti. I medi sono eccellenti: precisi, presenti e mai affaticanti. La qualità sonora generale è senz’altro quindi eccellente.Veniamo ai bassi: aspetto molto interessante ed emerso solo grazie a un test così approfondito.Con (relativa) sorpresa, i bassi delle X7 non sono enfatizzati come in altre cuffie, sono riprodotti in modo estremamente fedele, con una naturale aderenza alla realtà. Non si tratta di una mancanza, ma di una riproduzione accurata, senza alterazioni. Se cercate bassi “pompati”, queste non sono la scelta giusta per voi. Tuttavia, la fedeltà nella riproduzione dei bassi è proprio ciò che mi ha convinto a scegliere queste cuffie, poiché offrono un suono reale e bilanciato.Questo risultato è il frutto della qualità del driver e della progettazione generale, che assicurano una risposta equilibrata su tutte le frequenze. Se per voi i bassi enfatizzati sono imprescindibili, allora vi consiglio le Denon DJ HP1100 o, meglio ancora, le Technics RP-DH 1200 E-S: offrono bassi più potenti, ma sacrificano un po’ di isolamento acustico e di estensione nelle alte frequenze. Se invece cercate la migliore costruzione, un isolamento acustico superiore e una riproduzione bilanciata e dettagliata, adatta sia al DJing che allo studio, queste cuffie sono ciò che fa per voi.
