On Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “No Church in the Wild,” the kick drum loop receives enough high-mid presence for its attack to retain its punchiness, while the bass response thickens up the sustain of the drum loop, as well. This is a sculpted, bright, bass-forward sound signature, but it's balanced. Thankfully, the lows are balanced out with crisp, bright highs, accentuating the vocals and the acoustic strums. Every DJ will certainly have their preferences in regards to accuracy, but these headphones are certainly in the big bass camp. The drums on this track sound almost thunderous-there is definitely some serious bass boosting happening here.
At top, unwise listening levels, the lows don’t distort, and at more moderate levels, the bass is still full and forward in the mix.īill Callahan’s “Drover,” a track with far less deep bass in the mix, gives us a better sense of the HDJ-CUE1BT’s general sound signature. In Bluetooth mode, on tracks with intense sub-bass content, like The Knife’s “Silent Shout,” the headphones deliver a solid combination of powerful low-frequency response and bright, crisp highs. Pioneer estimates wireless battery life to be roughly 30 hours, but your results will vary with your volume levels. Internally, each enclosure houses a 40mm driver that delivers a frequency range of 5Hz to 30kHz and a 32-ohm impedance-though we’ll say that that range seems quite generous for the price (20Hz-20kHz is far more typical.) The headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and support AAC and SBC codecs, but not AptX.

The hinged design allows for the headphones to easily fold up for storage, though there’s no tote bag or case included. The supra-aural (on-ear) cups are generously padded and lined with faux leather (as is the headband), and large enough that they almost feel like over-ear pads. These are also available in orange, yellow, green, blue, or violet for an extra $30, so you can create some interesting color combinations. The headphones are available in black, red, or white, with swappable earpads and cables. But if you're shopping for a big-bass sound in the $100 range, you might be interested in the HDJ-CUE1BT whether you plan to DJ with them or not. If you're looking for an accurate mix, you'll probably want to steer clear of these headphones.
The sound signature is notably bass-forward, and the design can be customized for a little extra money-the earpads and cabling are available in various colors. For $99, they can be used in wired, passive mode for DJs, or simply as Bluetooth headphones. Pioneer's new HDJ-CUE1BT headphones are geared toward DJs on a budget.
