Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX vs Sennheiser HD 25 Headphones

go for HDJ 10x

Pioneer is dead and burried. A company that has nothing to offer except a crappy copy past of a decades old established headphones is not worth our time and money

What should have been mentioned here is that if you're into music production the HD 25 is more useful for studio monitoring because of its flatter sound.

As far as minimalist and modular design headphones, I prefer the AIAIAI TMA-2

They should've never stopped making the c70s. I still have them and they're the best headphones pioneer has ever made.

Thank you for the review, I was about to get the HD 25s then Pioneer released the HDJ-CX. I'm definitely getting the HDJ-CX..

Had the same pair of hd25s forever, I'll never use another pair of dj headphones

Trigger’s broom. Love it🤣.

Sennheiser they’ve been the industry standard for years with a flat sound output and still used by the top DJs today, but personal preference is what matters. Keep up the good work Phil.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

My HD 25 has outlived many different iterations of other DJ equipment throughout 15 years of use. During that time, it needed one new cable and a set of pads. All in all one of the best pieces of "tech" I ever bought. While the Pioneers are without a doubt very good, just the piece of mind that you can pick up spare parts for the Sennheiser basically everywhere (one club that I worked in even had a spare part drawer) is awesome.

Pioneer is a very good brand, perhaps the best. But this time, the Chinese seem to me at the flea market when they copy other brands. I have HD 25-1 II, and I wouldn*t want to change them one by aneone !🎧🎧🎧

I got myself a pair of the ONEODIO Pro 10. They were as cheap as chips… but amazing sound and feel. Perfect for my mixing and I have worn them for 6 hr sets and have been extremely comfortable. Comes with a bag, 2 cables, one which is coiled. Can be used with both size headphone sockets. A real bargain and a real find.

My HD 25's came with a coiled cable as well a straight cable. They also came with a spare pair of ear cups.

Actually the Sennheiser HD25 I bought did came with spare ear cushions. Probably because I bought the blue edition, as the spare cushions were in black.

I've been using the hd25 for 15ish years, and aside from the pads that were worn after about 8 years, there's nothing bad I can say about them. They are the best headphones I've tried so far.
And those 70 ohms works like a charm. No distortion at all.

I have TWO pairs of HD 25s, SP I and II, for around 15-20 years. Replaced the cable, and ear pads on one, and the other has been fine since new. I had a pair of Dre Beats in that time, and they've long since bitten the dust. If Pioneer wants to step to Sennhieser, then they need to drastically cut the price. No one with sense is going to pay the same amount, and go with the Pioneer...

Im sorry but… what?
-Since when do hd25s not come in a coil cable version anymore? The sp2 version (iirc) came with one, and the kbl spiral is at least listed as a replacement part on sennheisers website.
-What do you mean uncomfortable? I wear glasses and my head is not exactly small, yet i find the hd25s very comfy specifically BECAUSE of their on ear design and the soft pads - unlike headphones with over ear cups, which usually press against my temples.
-And isolation is excellent, again, BECAUSE of the rather tight fit and the on ear design, paired with soft ear pads.
Having said that, there is not much reason to go for the pios: easily detachable cable is the last thing i would want on something i use to perform, and the adapter clip is imho pointless since you rarely ever have to take off the 1/4“ to begin with.

There's a coiled cable attachment you can get or could for 15$ replacement, red black l/r plugs so you can swap for coiled and normal copper feed

Commercial cinema speakers or BMB karaoke speakers are a lot LESS brutal, so will not damage peoples hearing.

Still prefer the Sennheiser HD 25. Easy to find the spare parts. Friendly user headphones & super quality. Yet, i’m gonna try the Pioneer DJ HDJ-CX for spare headphones. Nice reviews Phil. 🙌🏼🎧

Only one Choice, the real choice and not a simple Copy, the Sennheiser HD25! Thats it, nothing more to say! 30 years of buying parts to replace, you can also change everything you see, also a spiral cable, no matter what! That is why the Sennheiser are the best! I have my since 26 years now! Lets see Pioneer what can you bring? A Copy? Yeah uhm lame!

Someone is trying to keep Pioneer happy…

Sennheiser HD 25 PLUS comes with coiled cable and additional ear pads.

Sennheiser cable comes out the right ear cup. Pioneer looks standard out the left side.

Paid by Pioneer?

my first set of hd25's only broke last year when i slipped with a screwdriver, they were bought in 2009 and id only replaced a set of ear pads. now on my 2nd set modified by customcans with a set of yaxi ear pads and could not be happier.

I like this attempt on rivalry from Pioneer, they had previous decent crack when they released C70's out, but they never took off and didn't have detachable cable, the fact that these have a detachable cable is a big win for me personally, as I love that feature on DJ headphones, I wanna try these now, AIAIAI's and HD25 are all time greats, but a little bit of competition is always healthy.

My HD-25s have definitely been a Trigger’s broom over the years…I’ve replaced the earpads, cable, headband pads, and one driver. Big OFAH fan from Canada!

hdj-c70 was the bomb

hybrid hd25 and
aiaiai
shame

I bought the pioneer after this video. I like the sound better than the hd25 I have since 2008.
The pioneer sound is better for monitoring\mixing.
The cushioning on the pioneer is really uncomfortable, puts a lot of pressure on ears which cause ear pains after 15 minutes of use. I replaced the pads with the hd25 pads and problem solved. But I realized that
in ear monitoring is the best.

If I am not mistaken, the CX is the 3rd (on-ear headphone) attempt from Pioneer for beating the Sennheiser HD 25.
Have had all the HDJ range and apart from the X10 they all sounded SH*T (despite the higher price tag).
I think it's safe to say that Pioneer should gave up this fight...

Had the HDJ CX’sfor 7 months. Broke at the hinges :) DON’T BUY THESE HEADPHONES!

Interesting fact: the hd25s (the predecessor to the hd25 we see all over the world), were originally used by concord pilots. They were chosen on the supersonic planes because they helped with extremely noisy conditions in the cockpit. Basically noise cancelling without the need for power. Then sennhieser realized how they could be used for consumers and the rest is history.

wait what? my Sennheiser HD 25 has a coil cable.

dont buy this pioneers, lasted less than 6 months and broke

HDJ broke after 2 weeks .. Sound is top .

I bought a pair of the HDJ CX a couple of weeks ago as I got them for a good price to replace my 23 year old pair of Technics. For anyone using them to record mixes at home and not necessarily use them in a Dj booth they have some serious bass. In hindsight I wish I’d gone with the HD 25 or even another pair of Technics for a more accurate sound.

Loving the HD25s for the past 10 years, but please Sony people, if you are reading this: BRING BACK THE MDR-v700dj! (Pioneer ones won't last, expensive and short life span is how I would describe my previous Pioneeer purchase of the kind.)

I love pioneer but there headphones doesn’t last longer than 1 year! 🤦🏻‍♂️ HD 25’s all the way 🙌🏼

Which one has the brighter sound?

this channel should be renamed pioneer dj😂😂😂

Pioneer hdj-cx: Great sound but the worst built material. That part which is under the headband easily broke after a few months with normal usage because they used the cheapest plastic material. That cable is also vulnerable. After 1,5 year both headband parts were broke and the right speaker stopped working. Pioneer headphones overall sounds great but they super fragile

Hello! Which headphones have better audio quality: HDJ CX or HDJ CUE 1

Tengo los 2 y sólo puedo decir, que por diseño, calidad y comodidad senheiser, y por sonido me inclino a los pioneros.
