Pioneer HDJ-2000 headphones review BPM 2008

Gear review November 2008

Contents of the video

Alright folks, here we are now, sort of outside the BPM, we're in the foyer type place aren't we? This guy here is Mr. Dockery from Pioneer, is it UK or Europe? It's Pioneer TV, but yeah, we're part of Pioneer Europe which is part of Pioneer Tokyo. Okay, now these guys here had a new product, I'm going to hand them to you and give us a brief, I want them back for a minute though, give us a brief description. of what the new headphones are all about and perhaps the people you're targeting. Okay, well these are the Pioneer HDJ 2000 headphones. It's the product that we're launching today at the BPM show. They're high-end, they're premium headphones reflecting our true brand image. Now I'll just run through them. The actual earpads themselves are a protein leather so that means they're not going to wear out very quickly.

The actual sponge is a memory foam, so it's going to mould to the shape of your ear. Then come round to the hinge part which is made of magnesium, which is a lightweight metal alloy. So they're not going to break. Well, they're not going to break easily, I should say. They said a lightweight metal alloy strip that runs around the headband to reinforce it. Do you know, that's what I was worried about, because when you opened it up... I just saw the plastic, so there's metal inside. Yeah, that's right. Brilliant. Very good. Excellent. But they're good and strong. I mean, you know, if you force them enough, they're going to break. Sure, sure. They're about as indestructible a pair of headphones as you could possibly get. That's nice. I like that. That's very good. Detachable Mini XLR as well.

I mean, to be honest with you, they're aimed at all types. Not just DJs. The sound has been tweaked for optimum use in the studio, so it's good for studio engineers and producers. For DJs, the audio has been tweaked so there's an emphasis Thank you for watching, see you next time. You know, the response is down to five hertz. Is that right? That's right, yeah. Because that's outstanding. You know, without wanting to go down the route of too much technical jargon, I think what we've aimed to achieve here is it's like walking around with your own function one system in your ears. They can be loud and they're clear and they won't distort but they're giving optimum amount of power. Nice. Alright, well I'll tell you what then. In your eyes, what is the most wonderfulest, best-singed

For DJs in the entire world. The best saying? The best or my saying? Oh, practice and enjoy! Yay! Easy! Nice man, thank you Martin, take care. Cheers Jonathan.
