The Pioneer HDJ-1500's arrived in the shop today. Lucky for you, we unboxed a pair to review for your enjoyment.
Upon opening the headphones I quickly noticed the removable headphone jack & included bag (just like the previous HDJ-1000). Pioneer also stepped up their "comfort game" with super padded ear pads.
This is an added plus, with most gigs lasting up to 3 hours headphones tend to start hurting the tops of your ears after the first hour. This is not the case with the Pioneer DJ HDJ-1500's.
Pioneer used the same headphone cord as their HDJ-500 model. The end of the cord is threaded with a locking pin on the sides of the cable, ensuring that the cable will not be "pulled-out" of the phones.
The hindges connecting the cups to the headband seem to be made from the same materials as the HDJ-2000 models, which is an extra heavy-duty plastic. The band itself is extremely flexable & well made.
As we tested the audio quality, we couldn't help but compair them to the HDJ-2000's. The bass was great! Plus added highs & mids make them great for the studio, or in the club. It specs @ Frequency range: 5Hz — 30kHz, Impedance: 32Ω, Maximum input: 3500mW, & Output sound level: 108dB.
With a US map pricing of $179.00 I highly reccomend these headphones for the beginner, pro, or studio producer. As always you can pick these up @ the shop located at Astro AVL 6615 San Fernando Rd. Glendale, CA 91201 or (818) 549-9915

Hi, you mentioned the cord is the same as the 500 cord. Is it exactly the same ?(so I can buy a spare 500 cord to use as a spare for this). Thanks
