Hdj 2000

Wondering if anyone has purchased these yet. Looking for a reliable review before I invest the money in them.

Thanks in advance

yes, yes... thank you, I know all about the Sony MDR 7506. I actually have the 7509s, and like them a lot. Just really think the HDJ-2000's look nice- wondering about sound quality.

I've read that they seem to have fixed the dodgy bindings that the old cans (1000's) used to suffer from but with the price tag that they come with there's no way I'd get them. 200+ is just ridiculous compared to the price of some of the other cans out there (not to mention the 7506's)

(I've got the 25's and XD53's.)

If you have the cash to splash, go for them I hear they sound fine. But personally they're just way too much for what you get.

Then I see no need to change

pioneer is making a killing off these.

They're awesome, though I don't have them.

Prefer them much to the XD 53. For sound quality, they have more defined highs and crisper mids than the HD 25. Look sleeker and are just as comfortable. Only reason I got the HD 25 mk2 in the end was because they're lightweight and I can wear them for days, they're cheaper and I want to pretend I'm Villalobos or Luciano mixing in my bedroom.

If I were to buy another set of headphones, it would be these.

EDIT: I'm not some Pioneer whore either. I have a Xone 92.

What are you thinking? You going to go for them?

Posted by I_Am_Vince on Apr-12-2009 16:43:

They look really nice, a lot lighter than the HDJ 1000. My neck would get sore after 6-7 hours of mixing with the HDJ-1000s. Sound quality is really clear although not as much bass as the 1000s. The detachable cable makes it a lot easier to pack up.

Look: 10/10
Weight: 10/10
Sound: 8.5/10
Price: 5/10

Yeah, I just bought them on Ebay. $259 was the cheapest I found them (djdeals.com). Expensive, but I've got such a huge investment in my music/setup that I usually don't hesitate about spending $ to improve upon it.

I'll let you know what I think when I get them!

As much as i love Pioneer and and the design of most their products, Those are way to MUCH!!!! Ridiculous My next set of headphones is Sony unless I happen to rob a bank sometime soon. Don't get my wrong though, those headphones have some sick features and i wouldn't mind having them.

What do you mean by sick features?

Well I haven't touched them in person yet but i saw videos of them being bent around and such. They look pretty durable. Nothing i could do with my old set. I think they really fixed the weak spots from previous HDJ headphones. They have a detachable cable so you can replace or use for storing the headphones away. imo they don't look as nice as the 1000's but see for yourself. This is a link to one of the videos i saw....

I tried these out at NAMM, and wrote a review:

But yeah, I pretty much agree. Awesome cans, terrible price.

LOVE these so far.

Seem to be so much more flexible and DJ friendly vs. the Sony MDR-7509s that I've been using the past few years.

Don't get me wrong, the Sony's are great- but the HDJ-2000's are really nice.

Great sound, flexible; seem to be very durable, and sleek look.

No regrets with the $ I spent on these.

wow they must be good then if you think they are worth that much!

Posted by Shudder on Apr-25-2009 00:44:

so what makes these headphones so ridiculously expensive? just that fact that they have pioneer stamped on them?

my guess is that they're good, but a nice chunk of that price tag is just that (the name pioneer), and the fact that they're new.
