Hey Jamie, please take care of yourself. We see you, we care. Do something nice for yourself and rest. Much love

[@GiorgioGas]

Congratulations on the excellent review, made by a true insider. When the reviewer is a person who really knows the needs of a DJ, the review itself becomes top. Thank you

[@RockstahRolln]

First off let me say I have just received these headphones today and, as I type this I have them on. I listened to a mix by Adam Beyer and let me tell you..... WOW WOW WOW!!! I finalised my purchasing decision based on THIS video and it certainly was the best decision I made. INCREDIBLE SOUND!! Loud yes... but it's the BASS!!! NICE DEEP CHUNKY BASS!!! Exactly what I need when I DJ! I cannot believe for the price how good these are! Also, I opted for the regular headphones without Bluetooth.

[@kaikirby8884]

Woo! First 1000. Great videos crossfader, i always love them!

[@heavybism1]

Curious to know why the $100+ headphones are any better than this one??

[@djlawrencejames]

These are really incredible for the price

[@Rumarlan]

Wow these look like amazing new headphones 🎧. Thx for the video Crossfader 😊

Still a favourite of ours, we all own a pair in the office! these are half the price though and have definitely turned our heads!

[@donaldccannon1]

Yup. Man I even use them for personal use and I don't look crazy when I'm on the train lol

[@autosportpluses]

@@Crossfader But what do you prefer for you? CUE1 or HD25?

[@RockstahRolln]

Yes, absolutely! :)

[@connorhickling4141]

Can you please do a video on how to use headphones on the ddj 400 to help with beginner DJs and how they should use headphones at a beginner level and what we are looking out for ?

[@DominusKaku]

Can they be used to listen music and/or play videogames? beacuse that what i want them for 😅

[@stevendo3523]

Hey Jaime! Do you know if the ear cuffs are universally sized? Do they one fit the HDK-CUE1's or could I purchase them for my HDJ-X5?

[@timegeometry9855]

I have the more expensive HDJ-X7s and I'm curious if the colourful cables are compatible with them too.

[@real_electronatorbotswana857]

Hello! I Have Been Comparing These To TECHNICS EAH 1200 Which 1 Should I Go For!?

[@burtmachine]

I am using sony XM3, i like the noise cancelling, are these headphones a nice alternative, i like to go out raving in caves sometimes, gear gets really messy, last time my headphones were full of dust, so i am searching for a similair product.

[@alistaircook6900]

Great video, Thanks Crossfader.

[@56yosii]

Are the accesories kit conpatible with the X5/X7 headphones? They look really cool!

[@dj_paultuk7052]

5hz to 30,000hz for £60. I dont think you can find any other headphones at that price which could achieve that frequency response. The Denon DJ 1100 match that spec, but are £105.

[@shullln]

That's all well and good, but below 20 hz and above 20K hz are beyond are range of human hearing so it's a moot point. (I'm older and can't hear much about 13.5 khz anyway) To test your hearing here's a 20hz to 20 khz tone sweep just for fun. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3_JaqGwq9OXZ80 Also notice that the specs don't give the +/- db's for that frequency range. It could be -10db at 30k hz and again it would be a pointless spec. IMHO, the most important spec for DJ headphones is sensitivity in db/mW. Beyond that, I think COMFORT goes beyond any spec on a spec sheet if you're going to be wearing them for hours on end. I'm not saying this isn't a good product, I'm just saying some of the specs on these should be taken with a grain of salt as they don't provide all the info one needs to make a full evaluation. PS. I'm a big fan of pioneer products in general.

[@RockstahRolln]

Thank you for this input of yours!

[@younis836]

Hi I have a quick question. I recently bought my first controller the Hercules starlight, and I was wondering what headphones I should get. I really appreciate it if you can give me some advice. It is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

[@spvcethvg8462]

Hmm, that controller is not that good but can be mixed great on, I suggest just looking at the Eq of different headsets and decide what is right for you

[@BarryGrueter]

Thanks for your truthful review, very nice. I am a new follower of you channel. 👍

[@irvingeduardochm]

Are this a good upgrade from a pionner HDJ500?

[@alanball2754]

im looking for a new pair of headphones , coming from the hdj 1000 . i was looking at the Sennheiser hd25s but is there anything else to consider

[@phillipvanrheede9995]

When is pioneer releasing new ones?

[@livefreeordias]

So, what makes these a "beginner" headphone instead of just a headphone for a more experienced DJ?

[@MisterShufu]

I also asked me this. However I think the main component here is the price. Also not specifically mentioned that they are over ear which in my opinion makes them better for beatmatching. You can focus more when you mix.

[@guntimusic]

I think if you compare with others they "adjust" more to different head positions.. so confort and the sound. The more "professional" tend to have a cleaner eq curve. This as mentioned has a bit of extra low end. A part of that I can only see if different materials are used.. plastic vs something else.

[@dhruvababji8721]

Perfect headphones for good price

[@Kmarly_alexand8r]

These are just a lighter and more customizable version to the HDJ X5 . Check the specs they are exactly the same 😴

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Looks like a nice backup, I might buy these. thanks

[@d33pNacho]

I'm about to return these headphones. On the long term they are really uncomfortable over the ears (surprised that no review mentions it) Material quality and sound quality (for DJs and EDM music) is good, a bit heavier on the bass than on other frequencies. Do not buy if you're planning to do long sets.

[@oggeeygring0194]

Are they over ear or on ear? Cause I just got a pair that was advertised as over ear but it sits on my ears

[@mk-os8gl]

@@oggeeygring0194 they’re a hybrid

[@mk-os8gl]

So which headphones would you recommend?

[@oggeeygring0194]

@@mk-os8gl very misleading on Pioneers side in my opinion, as on their website they advertise as over the ear. I returned my cue 1s, paid and extra R400 and got myself some HDJ X5 headphones from Pioneer and they are much better for me. Over the ear fit, comfortable, great build quality, good sound isolation and good sound quality for gigs. Been enjoying my HDJ X5 for the last 4 weeks. Really great value for money and better than the Cue 1 in my opinion

[@anthonym1625]

⁠@@oggeeygring0194i got the HDJ X5 but for some reason my ear is touching the plastic inside of the headphone. Is this happening to you? Or do you know a fix?

[@esh5754]

I bought my pioneer cue 1 headphone in 2021 Feb and now it's 2024 July One side of the earpiece is not working Since it's a budgeted headphone i deeply recommend hd 25 plus

[@KIANAKASLANAK423]

I may not be a DJ but are these good for audiophiles and hardcore gamers cause I'm a mix of both

[@dj_them]

short answer: no

[@kenntaron]

Sir, may I know is there having any volume depression (between mic and music) setting on Serato when recording ? If has, would you please make a video to teach how? Thanks a lot.

[@ShaneTsen0105252368]

Hi Jamie, would you recommend this Cue 1 or the HDJ X5?

[@shroud4269]

The x5 are absolutely amazing. Superb sound quality fr. They are just a tad big though, but they are over ear headphones so it makes sense. But id highly reccomend the x5 as an owner of them

[@anthonym1625]

@@shroud4269my ear touches the plastic inside of the X5. Do you know a fix?

[@AmbientWanderer]

Reason why they're loud is probably due to them having a low impedance and a high sensitivity rating. Meaning they can be driven very easily.

Good headphones but the material used in the headband and ear cushions is cheap and wares easily, having to replace after a year or so.
