Pioneer HDJ-500R Professional DJ Headphones - Red Edition

Karateka95: I have spent hours and days and months listening to music with these headphones. Really good sound quality and balance. You can twist the right-hand side up and away from your ear so you can hear what someone is saying to you. Cable is interchangeable. You can have a long cable or a short cable. Very versatile.

E.S.: I'm on my second set of these inside of less than 5 years. I could NOT find anything I liked better sound and comfort wise for the price point, but BOTH sets have cracked and broken with ONLY home PC use sitting constantly as a desk (never left the house or any movement when wearing them period) and total TLC with the second set. Not sure if I will buy again due to durability issues. :( :( :(

Cliente de Amazon: Excelente producto, llegó antes de lo planeado, la calidad de audio es aceptable para el precio que pagas . Lo malo que no pudieron facilitarme factura.

Ricardo Ivan: Un sonido bastante aceptable, el auricular que gira se vuelve muy cómodo para cuando necesitas estar al pendiente de tu entorno sin tener que usar el audífono torcido.
El cable largo es bastante cómodo.

Muy recomendable

Kevin K.: These are great headphones for DJing. They have the same drivers as Pioneer's top-of-the range model (hdj-2000), but are not collapsible. I absolutely love using them for my DJ mixing (I also own 4 other pairs of headphones, 3 sets of high-quality earbuds, including a $350 pair of Shure's).

If you are looking at these as a replacement for a pair of Beats? I wouldn't. However, I think these sound great. They have an accentuation of the lower bass frequencies, which aids in following a kick drum whilst monitoring a dance music track. The replaceable cable is a big plus for those of us who tour...and so far, durability has been fantastic (I got these used and have had them since August with NO issues at all).

If you have the money to spend (or are looking at these because you're looking in the $100 price range for a pair of good DJ cans)....These won't do you wrong. You'll love them after they're broken in a little...and you'll keep them because. I'll probably buy another pair if these ever get broken or stolen.

Ron Sicat: The saying "you get what you pay for" definitely applies here... That's a good thing considering this headphone can easily go for more than a hundred bucks... There are headphones out there that are more expensive than this one, but performs nearly the same... The build quality of the headphone is great... You can tell that the headphones will last long... It's comfortable, even if you have a big head like me... The ear cups are soft and comfortable on the ears... And the sound quality is great... Doesn't have as much base as other headphones do, but where it lacks in the bass it makes up in the highs and mids... The two detachable wires that came with the product are quality wires that seems like it can stand the test of time... Comes with a 1/4 inch adapter and the wire locks in place with the headphones... Comes with a straight wire and a coiled wire for the DJ's...

Overall great quality and great sounding headphones and from this price point... It's hard to beat...

Scott Francis: Before these I bought multiple pairs of headphones and earbuds. All of them were of subpar audio quality and lasted a short period of time. So after an extensive search of professional headphones, I found these. They are specifically designed for DJs which is great for me to capitalize on when mixing. They also double nicely for a pair of studio headphones. They do get a little bit uncomfortable after long use but that's just fine because the sound quality on these is amazing. I tried using these on my girlfriend's laptop which has beats audio technology built in and the results were stunning. I would absolutely recommend purchasing these headphones. I have one, my best friend bought one and I will soon purchase one for my girlfriend.

UPDATE: It has now been a year since I bought this product. The headphones are still in perfect working condition. It no longer fits as snug as they did brand new, which is good since they are now comfortable for long use, but the headband is cracked. If you plan to use these heavily, plan to repair or replace them after a year. I did buy my girlfriend a pair soon after I got mine and they are still like new, but she doesn't...

F T. A.: I have done my homework for weeks and came up with the notion that these were going to be the best buy for the money.
For the DJ I rate these a perfect 10. For the home owner I rate these a perfect 10.
I have been in the music industry for 35yrs. My first pair of headphones were Pioneer and I have had many in-between but here I am back to Pioneer... What does that tell you?? I do have a pair of Bose and I do not think they even come close!!! Dre does not come close and is over rated!
The first 15minutes I was not feeling so good about wearing these as a DJ all night, however after that 15minutes I forgot I had them on. Comfortable! Even when I walked away I unplugged the from the ear and kept them on my neck. Totally State Of The Art Engineering and Top Quality Sound!
Wonderful Sound, Wonderful Quality, Wonderful Home Use, Wonderful DJ Use, Wonderful Price and Fast Shipping.
My Hat Goes Off To The Vender/Shipper!
