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
