Pioneer DJ HDJ-CUE1, DJ Headphones

Product Information

Below the multi-function button is the port for your coiled cable, followed by the microphone. That coiled cable can extend anywhere up to 70 inches by the way, but it’s around 47 inches long as standard. Over the years, Pioneer has introduced some true market leaders for DJs, including the HDJ-2000s, which are essentially iconic at this point. Not so long ago, the brand decided to branch out to a more entry-level market, creating affordable yet compelling DJ earphones. One possible issue straight away is that the Pioneer HDJ CUE1 headphones don’t come with a case or a bag to protect them on the move.
