The verdict

The Pioneer HDJ-CUE1BT makes for a good—but not great—pair of DJ headphones that can go with you from the listening booth to the train and back again. The microphone is handy for calls and the rotating earcups are useful for working gigs, but there's not much outstanding either negatively or positively for these headphones.

✓Liked: Lightweight, Portable, Easy to use, Rotating ear cups

✕Could be better: No manufacturer's app or EQ, Only supports AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs, No Bluetooth multipoint, microUSB charging

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the Pioneer DJ HDJ-CUE1BT has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
