Designed for the beginner DJ and professional music enthusiast, the Pioneer HDJ-CUE1 Bluetooth DJ Headphones provide a rich sound and a stylish look. Out of the box, they come in a matte black finish, but the earpads and audio cable can be customized in a variety of colors with the addition of any of the separately available accessory packs.

These headphones stream audio over Bluetooth 5.0, class 2. They are compatible with A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, and HFP Bluetooth profiles, and make use AAC and SBC codecs. They sport a wireless range of up to 32.8' (unobstructed), and they will play for 30 hours off a 2-hour charge. Controls are built into the earcup for changing the volume and taking calls.

The headphones themselves 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. They are lightweight, foldable, and easy to take on the road.  

These headphones ship with a USB charging cable, as well as a detachable audio cable. Use the audio cable during your DJ sets. The cable sports an L-type connector to minimize the possibility of accidentally unplugging yourself during a set.

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.

These headphones allow you to enjoy music wirelessly over Bluetooth 5.0. When you pair the headphones with your device, you can adjust the volume or take phone calls, all with the touch of a button on the earcup. When ready to begin DJing, simply connect the included cable to disable Bluetooth, the microphone, and the volume buttons.

The Bluetooth 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 in orange, yellow, green, blue or violet, depending on which kit you purchase. Each accessory pack includes two earpads and a coiled audio cable.
