The HDJ-2000s don't live up to the hype., March 23, 2010

I really wanted to like the HDJ-2000 headphones. When the package arrived at work today, I was thrilled, and couldn't wait to take them home. Once I did get them home, I found myself frowning for than smiling. My nearly 15 year old Denon AHD-950s have begun to have issues with the cord, and thus I intended to replace them with the HDJ-2000s.

My old Denon set sounds so much better than these. Where my Denons come through with good, clean bass response, these Pioneers do too. But, where the high end and balance in general is concerned, my old Denons signigantly out perform the HDJ-2000 set. As another poster stated, they are flat and dull. You may not notice this is you had not used a better set, but I assure you, there are better headphones out there.

Please note that I made my comparisons using the same audio tracks in seamless loops, using the same amp, at the same volume and this pair, compared to my old set, almost sounds mono, as if all the frequencies are bleeding into eachother. It's just a muddy mess.

I will be exchanging these for another pair, most likely Denons. Make no mistake, this is a good headphone, but not great. They're over rated, over priced, and under performing in my experience.

Brilliant Headphones, August 16, 2009

As an owner of a pair of HDJ-1000's and a happy owner at that, I was excited to purchase this upgrade. First off, sound: the detail in all brands of music- electronic especially- is apparent from the start. There is clarity not present in the HDJ-1000's and that is partly due to the 2nd aspect of the headphones: their fit. These headphones enclose your ears, as opposed to pressing right up against them as the HDJ-1000's do. The design of the HDJ-1000's is solid; however, for long spans of listening or monitoring audio/DJ'ing, they do get uncomfortable. This new pair are a vast improvement because the earpiece surrounds your ear and use memory foam and a "protein leather" to add a bit of plush to the whole affair. As a result new design is easy to wear for hours on end.

So, these are great headphones, but the price point is rather high... and that is because of the build quality. These headphones are constructed almost entirely of metal, a magnesium composite as said by documentation. The build quality is unheard of in the industry, these are not delicate studio or DJ headphones, these are the highest build standard I have ever seen in a pair of headphones period. They can travel with you, get dropped by you, tour with you and they will hold up to it.

These are the best headphones on the market for their reproduction of audio and the audio components are enclosed in a construction that will ensure these headphones will be with you for years.

Please enjoy.
