All user reviews for the Pioneer HDJ-500

For how long have you been using it?
1 week

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I start with a Numark, then a Audiophony (it was free so veiled), then do it 2 years and a half I am with my Technics passage is really a bomb.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
The + +: nice design, although these low, right ear modular, very well thought out.

The -: it really does not look solid for a headphone at 100 € and at Pioneer, the headphones are foldable so safe during transport, and delivered without storage bag. In addition, staff in relation to other headphones in the pioneer or Technics EnCorr is not very well insulated from outside noise.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
To see how it's grown old, 100 € for a headphone that is plastic and looks fragile, it starts to do cons by the sound quality is there.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Having had a good discount on the headphone and being designed to use my laptop (mp3) and not deejiyng, yes. One thing is for sure, I will not pay full price for this headphone for me in my opinion Pioneer descent, and yet do it in 5 years that I mix Pioneer (CDJ200, CDJ800, CDJ400, CDJ1000MK3, DJM600, DJM700, DJM800) short, it's a shame because they make turntables and mixers gold. Fortunately, the headphone is aesthetic.

For how long have you been using it?
So I used 2 weeks, and I do have more

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
No, not at all, and I admit my mistake. I should listen to several models before buying one. I just thought the reputation of the brand and telling me that it should function as was the Pioneer. And then a lot of opinions were quite positive, so I am that choice.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
The + +: nice design, although these low, 2 types of cables to choose from coiled or linear, detachable headphone cable, security on both sides of the cable to prevent it coming loose or headset, or either of the adapter 6, 35

The -: little room for adjusting the headset according to each (of the head), not wearing it for too long because it would be embarrassing and what annoyed me most is the sound: for the lower it goes very well but then for the midrange / treble, it's really not terrible.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
If he convinced me, I would say value for money is not too bad, although you pay a little mark but all is fine and we just choose between 3 colors

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Frankly no, unless the sound was better. I was lucky that the store wants me back.
For me it's more a headset for listening to music on their PC or MP3 sound, after that depends on the ears of everyone ...

* For how long have you been using it?

As of today, date of purchase
* What thing do you like most/least about it?

Most: a clear sound with excellent bass and very active, lightweight and comfortable, beautiful design, easily transportable, two cables (one right and one twisted 1m 3m) for it to be used in mix as a mp3 player . Buoyant ears loosely provided. The cable can be disconnected at the headphone.

Least for the moment nothing to say except that I could not really test it really well isolated. No carrying case
* Did you try many other models before getting this one?

The Numark PHX, my old headphone, which was much less effective, too heavy and not very isolating!
* What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Pioneer is, it's still expensive but it is really value for money, the headphone does seem to be very well made, to see the use in the future ..
* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

Yes without any hesitation, it is perfect for people looking for a headphone nearly as powerful as the big brothers (HDJ-1000 and HDJ-2000) for a price far more affordable.

I use it for almost 2 months due to a couple of evenings ensured.
What I like: headphone light, very good sound for me, articulating well thought out, fairly well isolated.
I like the detachable cord system. When you plug the mini jack to mini headphone from one side there is a protection for not only tore it by accident. (Lock)
He looks solid and more I see no limitations from the standpoint of the joints.
I wish I had a carrying case but good already that Pioneer has released a very good headset for not too expensive, so do not ask too much of it. However, two cables are provided with (twisted smooth +)

For the price 100 euros and product quality so it's cool.
I recommend this headphone to the mix and MP3 listening. I would do without this choice problem.

Grinding my opinion it's been 3 months since I use it, provided more than 25 parties and to my surprise last night at the headband there is a tight joint with two screws that are screwed up which puts out of true headphone. So here I go down my grade. I'll try to patch with super glue if the tape but again the great design. My AKG K81 from the two son who torsadent Oh much better.

* For how long have you been using it?
I use it since my purchase yesterday (December 27, 2010).

* What thing do you like most/least about it?
+: - Légé
- Is not in the ears
- Beauty success (no photos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)!
- The price of course!
- The cable that you can disconnect.
PS: do not force the connection is not as hard as some would say. We just have to do it: insert it right into the socket to the clip and turns to lock yourself!
- Sound reproduction that m'allère good! but ....

-: - ... I found that the acute and medium are more experienced compared to the bass. PS I told her because this is my second headphone, before I had an AKG K81DJ fesais out that much bass, so maybe I need to get used!
- The second straight cable non-coiled 1.50m which is useless, but its good they're crazy!
- No bag or box for transport!

* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
- HD25 at a party but I was disappointed
- Sony MDRV700 but I find too heavy!

And my previous headphone that ensure years of evenings without a flinch:
- AKG K81 DJ who was more than perfect for me but this getting old and am a bit sore ears!

* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
At first sight, the report qualitée money to go do it all proper for such a headphone and especially given the brand! After it insulates at an evening with the return, I am really overwhelmed!

* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
I think that with time and especially money, I turned to a more professional headset! For I do not deny it either, I do not think it's really pro, it is entry level. His comparison would be the pro HDJ 2000 I think!

I use it for about 3 hours

I tried the AKG K140, AKG K66, Sennheiser HD205, Pioneer hdj1000; HDJ2000

Characteristic I like most: He has a beautiful face, a well punchy, powerful and isolates I say not "perfectly" but at least I can listen quietly without disturbing or being disturbed.

Minimum: Not yet found fault except that they'll have to have a pocket for carrying ... m'enfin for 98 € you will not cry

The value for money from Pioneer I looked really good, the sound is clear, good bass with a well balanced medium and sharp as it should (well I speak to my ears of course), after having also tested the HDJ2000 there's no picture it's still not over.

With the experience so I probably do it again this election!
