Pioneer DJ HRM-7 Headphones

The top of the line Pioneer DJ HRM-7 Headphones studio monitors, and the main difference with the 7’s is they have larger ear pads, made with a hybrid memory foam and covered velour fabric. This provides a snug fit and ensures enough airflow and acoustic isolation for accurate monitoring. While this is optimum for studio reference monitors in use over long periods of time, it may not be ideal for DJs on the move in potentially sweaty environments. Otherwise the feature set is similar to the cheaper 5 and 6’s.

The Pioneer DJ HRM-7 Headphones come in a box with two sets of cables (one coiled, one straight), as well as an extra pair of velour ear pads. They’re fairly light, much lighter than a pair of heavy-duty DJ headphones, and they sit comfortably on top of my head thanks to a headband that provides support.

The ear cups are huge, and cover my ears entirely – they provide a bit of isolation without totally blocking out the environment (remember, these are for studio work, not for gigging). I like the feel of the ear pads – past a certain point of use, I simply forgot that I had them on my head. That’s always a good sign.

The Pioneer HRM-7 headphones sound decent. I was pleased with the detail in the mids and highs – I thought they had the right amount of brightness when working with electronic music elements like hi-hats, cymbals, and other “shiny” tones.
