HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- Pioneer DJ's headphone line is best known for big, beefy designs. But with the new HDJ-CX, they have gone in a new compact, lightweight direction. Have they done enough to challenge the current reigning champion in that market segment, the Sennheiser HD25? Mojaxx gives us his first impressions in the new episode of "Beatsource Tech".

I'm pretty sure these are going to be discontinued in a couple of years (if not months) and Sennheiser will be celebrating 40 years making the HD-25 and keep making them for a long time... that's the difference.
Assumptions are great aren't they. I guess all we can do it watch this space.
Well if they exceed the hd-25’s then we will see them stay I’m sure.but they can’t just match and have to exceed in a big way.and I can’t see it myself.they look cheap and flimsy
Right about that, the HD 25 has been in business since way back and has never encountered problems and it just works well. HD 25 imo looks better as compared to the CX. It’s more iconic

Excellent review. Everything conveyed concrete, down to earth, lots of specs and detailed info. No useless bullshit about lifestyle looks and deep-hearted deliberations how weraing them might affect ones psyche or similar crap. I really appreciate you giving information that sincerely helps differentiate the product on the face of other stuff out there. Take care and oll the best dude!
the elephant is the room is that they will be discontinued within 1 year so parts are going to be an issue.
Looking forward to your follow-up/longer term review of these … 😎👍🏼
Just what I needed... While I'm at work bored... Thanks MoJaxx
Great review as usual Mo! I've been in the HD25 camp for a good 10 years until last year when mine trusty HD's gave up. I got a set of the Pioneer X10's and I've been very happy with them but I'm still interested in these. I'd like to know more about how they've held up structurally over the last year, especially the non replaceable cable part. Cheers
I recently retired my Technics 1210 Headphones after almost 20yrs and converted to HD-25s after also testing the Pioneer X5s. I found those to have a nice low end but made the mids and highs a little muddy. The X7s were out my price range and wouldn't dare even look at the X10s. But the Technics were incredible all round and went foe the HD-25s as they do sound incredible too, but wish the bass was just that little bit more....so maybe these HD-CX are the answer. But settled with Sennheiser now so maybe in 10yrs time
I have a pair and the comfort does improve with the Yaxi pads for bigger big head fellow but the provided filter will muffle the highs too much and will narrow the soundstage. I source the filter from the extra pads, it bring back the tonality with greater comfort with a slight bass boost but not too much to becomer overpowering or boomy.
I would be tempted to buy them, I currently use the Sony MDR V700 that I bought twenty years ago and they still do their job very well today ... I would buy the Pioneer CXs only for medium / low volume mixes or studio use.
I bought my pioneer HD-10’s three years ago after your review and they have been absolutely superb and built like tanks , I used to be a HD-25 I had the adidas ones which I retired before they died , these new pioneer look perfect for listening to tracks at home while sorting your library and a fair price !
The hd25 are all user replaceable parts
@@djphillmp they are but the adidas blue parts are not unfortunately.
@@mecdj u can get parts just not the blue color. Cord and pads
@@djphillmp exactly and this is the reason I retired my pair back into their adidas box still working otherwise replacing parts with non blue would ruin them , they did an amazing job for about three years but now they are stashed abs still worth a few quid, I’m an adidas guy and love the brand.
I was pretty sold on these until the comment about mid/high clarity. Most likely I'll stick with the HD25. Replacement parts are essential. With a small pair of headphones like this they're more likely to go through harder wear & tear (at least in my DJ bag)
I got mine today after my HD25's went mono for some reason a month ago. I like how these have a bit more weight to them which make it feel premium.
The focus on low end performance makes it easy for me to mix and match house beats in clubs so its perfect for me! (I'm only using them on the road, I have different ones in my studio)
what you can say after year of use? :)
@@KeyToWay we are still using it every gig!! 🎉🎉
@DistressMusic better sound and useful than hd25? I used hd25 only 5min but i think that sound of hd25 is not good. I use m40x but i think i need something onear , not over.
My concerns are the wire around the headphones and it’s a bonus get another pair of foam ear cups but is the quality any good is that why they give you a spare pair
I have had my HD25 for 22+ years and they still sound as good as the day I bought them. I have had to replace the cable and foam ear cups a couple of time's over the years due to how much I actually use them (almost every day for a hour or 2) however the can's and the headband are still going strong and will deffo last at least another 10 to 20 years at least if I don't throw them around. No other headphones come close the build quality, longevity and overall performance of HD25's (IMO)
Any chance of reviewing Wireless+ headphones from AIAIAI in the future? sounds great but also a little to good to be true tbh.. Mojaxx feedback before buying appreciated.
You should get a MiniDSP binaural mic and do sound tests on the headphones and actually record some data
They look like Sennheiser HD-25s no doubt.
I love my hd25..👌
Please tell me it’s just that time of the year again?
Thanks for this review, I am super keen to get a new set of headphones, really love the HD25's but not sold on them purely from a lack of bass perspective. These look good and by your comments, they may sound good. Just worried about the fact that they do not fold. I would love to know if they can fit in the UDG U9950BL ~ UDG Ultimate DIGI Headphone Bag Black. This is my primary headphone bag which I love because you can fit your sticks, cards and other goodies in it for going to play at gig. Please can you either let me know in a text here or if you want to add this to your review then please do so :-)
Would the HDJ-CUE1 earpads fit on these? The cable looks very similar, and I'm wondering if the CUE1 custom color accessory kits might make these quite attractive.
No, the cups on these are way smaller. Go to 1:32 in the video, you can see how different they are.
@@Mojaxx Oh yeah, that's tiny! Thanks for the comparison.
Just got mine in the mail. Testing them out tomorrow at a gig. DJ A.I.
It seems that they're not on sale in the UK yet, even out of stock on Pioneer's website.... Seems I'll have to wait to see the UK pricing
I’ve been told UK price will be £120.
still using my pioneer hdj-C70 after 7 years of use
hdj-c70 is the best headphone ever, bought 3 and had to change the headband many time.... I would have hope pioneer would release a better hdj-c70 instead of this..
@@lextr3110 Hi, I broke my c70's headband for 3x. I also loved and still love their sound though. I'm thinking about the CX now...
Good morning 😃
I had the Sennheiser HD25 for years and I wanted to tried something different and I went with the HDJ-X10 from Pioneer. I was missing so much fun with the senns, I love the Pioneer regarding the sound specifically for mixing. The beatmaching is veery accurate and you can really hear the point where the track is exactly beatmatched. With the senns was complicated sometimes. The senns will be sell right now. Thank you mojax, this headphones looks interesting as well.
hd25 always and will always suck.. kinda sad that peoples destroy their lives with these.. i recommend you find an old hdj-c70 if you are very careful with them.. cable and headband break and kinda impossible to find
Hi Alex, can you sell me your HD25 ?
What’s your thoughts on DJs using in ear monitors? I’m thinking about getting into that!
I much prefer inear, as compact as it gets, very nice for traveling (they fit in my pocket with a pair of USB) cheaper, and most importantly, they function as an earplug too, which is nice for super loud environments, protecting your ears. I usually forget I'm wearing them till I have to cue a track. Another plus (for me) is the sleek look they give. More elegant for weddings and formal events.
HD25 diehard here (I've been intensely using the very same set for over 20 years now). What has always made the Sennheisers stand out is the relatively neutral frequency response curve, which makes them excellent for studio monitoring as well. Watching your impressions I assume this is not the case for the DJ HDJ-CX? Any chance you can come up with a frequency response curve comparison vs the HD 25 in your final review?
The lack of a replaceable earcup connection cable is kind of a dealbreaker for me though. These should be standard on all heavy-use DJ headphones.
pioneer are trying their best to have monopoly over everything dj related, and are pushing great financial aid to all reviewers/djs willing to sell out.
@@declin_ro3823 No they're not, Mojaxx doesn't get paid by Pioneer DJ for doing this, and he tells it how he sees it. You are too cynical, and you present an unsubstantiated viewpoint like you know something others don't.
@@digitaldjtips im not saying everyone accepts but don't take us as stupid.When you are getting exclusive and free gear to review and sometimes keep, high chances you want to stay in good relation with those "clients".
Look at Lew Later, once he started BendGate with Apple, he never received a product or invitation anymore, and what did he do, he did an honest review.
So cut me the no-one is doing anything wrong crap.
Lets be honest you are probably only buying these if you love having Pioneer stuff.
Precisely. They are following the formula Beats by Dre took with their first set of cans, "Minimal parts. More bass. Solid build." Let's see if these get a celebrity promotion scheme in the coming months
HD25 with AIAIAI TMA1 blend.
The NEW HD-25 BIIIIIATCH :)
I have been through and modded various pairs of HD25's with the aluminium cups, changing the cables etc and they're excellent but i recently acquired a pair of Focal listen pro's which i know are different style all together but the clarity on these is amazing even compared to the HD25's. I find for DJing sometimes the mixer has an affect on how the headphones interact with it ie digital or analogue units. So some mixers like V moda which i have also used. Others HD25's.... i think for me i'll just stick with the HD25's or the Focals as i could just keep buying more and more and the differences are negligible.....
I need new studio headphones 🎧
Pioneer HD 25 I2
hi Mo
Let’s not play games if you want a set of cans in the size your going to buy hd25s.
How does it compare to the HDJ-C70.. the c70 are my favorite on my side.. HD25 suck in everyways possible compare to hdj-c70.. and the other are too heavy.. c70 sound very good too..
sad that they dont use the same exceptional autosize headband as hdj-c70.. they could just have reinforced it where it was fragile and broke often..
I forked out £250 for a pair of Pioneer HDJ 2000s when they first launched, still use them for gigs, bought a pair of Denon HP1100s a year ago, less than half the price, more than double the headphone. Pioneer are over priced, if u like these headphones just get the hd 25s in my opinion, i know people who have been using the same pair 10, 11 and 15 years plus. Built to last!
Went from hd25 amperior's to these. Snapped the right side frame after 2 months of bed room djing. The plastic is very thin where it snapped, not impressed.
but what about sound? plastic is bad but is sound quality better?
i have a large head so i dont think i will get these
Perfect headphones from poor materials. They brakes on hinges. Only after my broke, researched that it is really common problem. Going with HD25, should've done that at once. Otherwise owesome pair🤷♂️
it looks too fragille......better option still senheiser or the new Audio Technica Ath-m60x
As a combat athlete with some cauli... on ear can kiss my ass. and as someone with deep knowledge of ear tissue health... on ear can kiss my ass.
Still using my SONY MDR-V700 😅😅😬
You must be the most gentle human being alive! 🤣
I still have mine , They are kept in a glass case and brought out on special occasions
Aiaiai tma 2 e melhor
= Zomo HD3000
looks fragile :)
This just looks like an another unsuccessful try from Pioneer against the Sennheiser HD-25...
The recent HDJ-S7 was a terrible headphone too. Very uncomfortable (same story: short headband for med-big heads) and sounded like putting a cheap bluetooth speaker into a trash can.
The old Pio C70 wasn't that bad, but was too bass heavy and fragile.
I only liked the X10, but that's heavy and not too comfy for long listening sessions.
Honestly, I don't really understand why is it so difficult doing a better on-ear dj headphone than the Sennheiser.
Especially with the technical knowledge that a company like Pioneer has... 🤔
thx. Not 4 me
They look weak
