Designed for the beginner DJ and professional music enthusiast, the Pioneer HDJ-CUE1 DJ Headphones provide a rich sound and a stylish look. Out of the box, they come in a dark silver finish, but they can be customized in a variety of colorful appointments with the application of any of the separately available accessory packs.

These headphones borrow the 40mm drivers from Pioneer's XDJ-X5 model. These drivers are tuned to accentuate vital low-end and kick-drum frequencies, enabling DJs and musicians to hear the details of their tracks when it comes time to put together the right sound for a DJ set or playlist. Sporting a 5 Hz to 30 kHz frequency response, the headphones provide swivel earcups, useful for monitoring both the music and the crowd.

These headphones ship with a detachable coiled cable, one that sports an L-type connector to minimize the possibility of accidentally unplugging yourself during a set. They are lightweight, foldable, and easy to take on the road. Pioneer has rigorously tested these headphones to ensure they stand up to years of heavy use.

Equipped with the same drivers from the professional XDJ-X5 model, the HDJ-CUE1 headphones are specially tuned to accentuate important low-bass and kick-drum frequencies for mixing. This accentuation enables you to detect specific details in your music and facilitates an easier, more comprehensive track selection process.

The HDJ-CUE1 incorporates the look and feel of Pioneer DJ’s professional headphone line. It's lightweight and folds neatly for a compact fit in your bag during transport.

The HDJ-CUE1's swivel mechanism enables you to turn the earcups a full 90°. This allows you to listen with one ear while the other cup rests on the side or back of the head. Also, the short cable is coiled to prevent tangling and easily stretches to allow for free movement during performances.

DJing can put excessive stress on headphones. The HDJ-CUE1 models are designed to handle heavy use with each moving part passing Pioneer DJ's strict in-house durability tests. Extra-strong metal sliders in the padded, comfortable headband offer reliability and extend headphone life. The HDJ-CUE1 cable's bayonet connector prevents accidental disconnections, while the L-type mini-jack decreases the likelihood of knocking it out of place while DJing.

Separately available accessory kits let you express your individuality. You can customize the headphones with HC-CP08 accessory packs. These offer earpads and cables styled in orange, yellow, green, blue, or violet.
