Sound nice (little on the treble side). Look cool. Very loud. Good for DJing


Bad Points

VERY poorly made/cheap/breakable. Makes you look like a wannabe.


General Comments

OK I bought these headphones and they broke in under a year. I am always very careful with my audio equiptment and I have never broken a set of headphones before.

They do sound nice though. A little on the treble side, but i prefer this when beatmatching. The look pretty cool and they are very loud.

Why have i given this 2 stars?...... Because i am a fool for buying these when i could of got Sennheiser hd25s. The sennheisers really are professional headphones, and the audio quality is unbelievable. They are top notch for DJing and studio monitoring. Also, with the Sennheisers you dont have to worry 24/7 about breaking them.

When i got my Pioneers i read the reviews from people saying they break, but i thought they must just be the sort of people who break all their stuff etc. I was wrong because mine broke when i was taking the off my head one handed. And everyone i know who has had a pair has broken them. I will never but them again. I love my sennheisers.

Basically, the Pioneers are posers headphones. They do look nice, but everyone who is in the industry knows that anyone wearing them is posing.

The only reason you woud get the Pioneers over the Sennheisers is because of the looks.
