- The new entry-level DJing/home listening cans will come in three colours and hit stores in November.
Pioneer have announced a new addition to their headphone range, the HDJ-500.
These new fully enclosed dynamic stereo headphones are said to be based on Pioneer's top-of-the-range HDJ-2000s, and will be available in three colours: red, black and white. To combat against the rigours of club DJing—and in particular one-eared monitoring—the HDJ-500s feature a rotating arm structure, allowing the right earpiece to move forward and back by up to 60 degrees. Also included is two interchangeable cords: a 1.2 meter coiled cord which extends to 3 meters for DJing, and a home listening-friendly straight cord that is 1 meter in length. The HDJ-500s' frequency response is 5Hz - 28,000Hz.
Pioneer will release the black HDJ-500-K and the red HDJ-500-R in November 2010 at a suggested retail price of $125. The white HDJ-500-W will follow in January 2011 at a suggested retail price of $125.
