Fine-tuned: pro-DJ monitoring reaches new heights with the HDJ-2000MK2s
The next generation pro-DJ headphones have arrived as Pioneer DJ launches the HDJ-2000MK2: with optimised audio quality, enhanced sound isolation, ultimate comfort and an even more robust build to withstand the rigours of professional use.
Available in black or silver, the HDJ-2000MK2s maintain their predecessor’s classic look and premium, robust build. DJs’ comfort is assured during even marathon sets; the ear pads feature urethane memory foam ear pads and leather-feel covers, while a lightweight, adjustable headband and rotatable housings support multiple monitoring styles. Plus with a premium hard carry case, foldable structure and two detachable cords (coiled and straight), the HDJ-2000MK2 headphones are compact, portable and durable enough to fit the lifestyle of even the most demanding pro-DJ.
The HDJ-2000MK2 DJ headphones are available in black or silver from late February 2015.
HDJ-2000MK2 headphones in detail
-
Sound quality optimised for pro-DJ monitoring
The HDJ-2000MK2s are designed for dance music, with a 38 μm-thick diaphragm, 50 mm drivers, and precision-rolled voice coil to ensure outstanding resolution and high-fidelity frequency response of 5 Hz to 30,000 Hz. Distortion is eliminated even at top volumes thanks to a robust build and the capacity for 3,500 mW of input.
-
Improved sound isolation for perfect clarity in loud environments
Innovative low-volume air chambers provide maximum insulation, reducing external noise in the mid to low frequencies (300 Hz to 1,600 Hz) by 7 dB compared to the original HDJ-2000s. This and the ear pads’ damper and airtight stitching ensure clarity for ease-of-monitoring without needing to crank up the volume in loud clubs.
-
Lightweight and comfortable for prolonged use
The HDJ-2000MK2s have been carefully designed to maximise DJs’ comfort. A thinner, lightweight magnesium alloy is used on the headband and hanger to reduce pressure on the DJ’s head. Ear pads made with soft synthetic leather and low-rebound urethane memory foam ensure a snug fit for ultimate comfort and sound quality.
-
Comes with hard carry case and handy accessories
The HDJ-2000MK2s come with a custom-designed hard zip up carry case for added protection on the road. The case’s internal pockets are the perfect place to store the two provided cables (one 1.6 m straight and one 1.2 m curled cord) and 6.3 mm jack.
-
Rotatable housing with auto-return supports multiple monitoring styles
Each ear cup swivels by 90 degrees to support various styles of monitoring, and the auto-return feature makes them ideal for DJs who prefer on-the-shoulder monitoring. One-ear monitoring is a breeze with the headphones’ flexible headband. And a lock mechanism holds a DJ’s preferred style to stop unwanted movement during use.
-
Solid build to withstand the rigours of professional use
An L-type mini-jack stops the headphones getting knocked or disconnected during performance, even in cramped booths. At the headphone end, a detachable mini-XLR connector means cables can easily be removed for transit or replaced if damaged. Plus, the foldable structure makes the headphones easy to transport between gigs.
