Basic Features of

High-fidelity sound design optimal for all DJs

1

POINT

High sound quality has been achieved with the driver unit featuring a diaphragm of optimal material and thickness, a
voice coil for good balance from bass to treble, and a large, high flux magnet 50mm in diameter. This enables
clearly catching dance music beats (bass drums and cymbal rhythms) needed for DJ performances. Superior sound
insulation makes it easy to cue up the next track, even in noisy clubs and discos. The insulating material inside the
headphones was also carefully selected and ear pads provide a tight seal, contributing to clear reproduction of mid
to high sound ranges with subtle nuances. These headphones are also suitable for professional use in studios.

Snug fit for comfortable use even in long sessions

2

POINT

The HDJ-2000 offers an excellent fit with various ingenious details for comfortable use
even in long sessions.

(1) Flexible protein leather*1 with a soft touch and natural feel is used for ear pad/head pad
surfaces that touch the skin.
(2) Low-rebound urethane foam*2 is used inside the ear pads and head pad. They nicely fit over
the shape of the head, maintaining comfort with a snug fit even in long sessions.
(3) Magnesium alloy components are used for the main body for both light weight and durability.
This minimizes stress on the head, ensuring comfortable DJ play.

*1: Protein leather: Synthetic leather developed jointly by Idemitsu Technofine Co., Ltd. and Komatsu Seiren Co., Ltd.
*2: Low-rebound urethane foam: Urethane foam that slowly moulds itself to a shape and recovers its original profile.

The durability of the headphone plug and connecting parts joining the main body and the cable has been
improved, achieving construction robust enough to withstand professional use. The removable Mini XLR
connector also makes it easy to replace the cable if it breaks.

POINT

With a new i-type hinge, a smooth and integral form has been achieved that naturally fits the hands at any
moment during DJ play. The ear pads have a spun finish aluminum ring that matches the design of Pioneer CDJ
player play/cue buttons, for a simple and stylish design.
