pioneers new budget cans!

Im not sure if this has made the boards yet but pioneer have recently released information on their new budget cans the hdj 500’s
( http://pioneerdj.com/index_f.html#/en/products/hdj500 ) with an msrp of 125$ from what i can gather it features an unpluggable cord :smiley: and the same magnesium alloy as the hdj 2000, rotating arms, a Frequency range of 5Hz - 28,000Hz and they come in red black or white :slight_smile:.

Imo these look like a great pair of cans and may be my next upgrade!
what does everybody else think about these?
will they be the new standard cans for a beginner dj?

i might buy, but not for a while since 150 out of my ‘toy’ money just went towards the new ipod nano

I like the design and colors, I’m still glad I splurged for the HD25’s thou they should be getting here today :stuck_out_tongue: But I would consider getting a pair of these as a pack up.

ooo, im diggin this! what is the freq range of the full hdj?

I’m waiting to see a direct comparison with the HD 25-1 IIs…

Here ya go bud, product sheet with pics attached.
