High-performance drivers help you hear everything





Accuracy is paramount ? especially when you’re at a gig. Pioneer DJ pulled out all the stops for the HDJ-CX headphones and loaded them with high-performance 35mm drivers complete with their newly-designed PEEK-PU-PEEK composite film diaphragm. The HDJ-CX headphones also flaunt a massive 5Hz-30kHz frequency response. Slip them on, and you’ll be rewarded with clear highs, stellar midrange definition, and brain-rattling lows. Here at Sweetwater, we've found that the 2000mW max input power gives you plenty of oomph without introducing distortion at high SPLs. If high-performance operation is a must, it’s hard to go wrong with a pair of Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX headphones.





Unequivocal comfort





Aside from sound, comfort is the name of the game. The HDJ-CX headphones leverage plush padding and an ergonomic design to deliver a seriously comfortable wearing experience. First, they weigh less than five ounces without the cable. Next, optimized headband and earcup weight distribution give these closed-back DJ headphones a barely there feel. Pioneer DJ even includes slimmer cables to reduce fatigue. Together, the HDJ-CX’s ergonomic design elements work to reduce head, neck, and shoulder stress.





Withstands whatever life throws at you





It’s no secret that a DJ’s headphones are subjected to plenty of abuse throughout their lifetime. Pioneer DJ knows this, which is why HDJ-CX headphones come prepared for action. They have a flexible stainless steel headband that won’t deform after years of use. What’s more, the HDJ-CX headphones passed the United States military’s standard MIL-STD-810H shock test, ensuring that they'll provide reliable performance every time you put them on.
