Pioneer DJ - Headphones Overview
Gearbase product details : Pioneer DJ SE-M10R
Not designed for DJs
When looking at the image of this model you might sense some recognition to a model from a few years ago Pioneer SE-450. Although the SEM10R is a complete different model with a greatly improved sound, I bet some hearts pounded a few times extra when picking up a glance of this headphones.
The SE-M10R is best compared to the Pioneer HDJ-1000. The SEM10R is not even designed by the ProDJ department of Pioneer, the engineers from the Home Audio department get all the credits.
Specifications
Studio Monitors
Designed to offer a good leastening experience when enjoying music of working in the studio. As these headphones sit over your ears, in comparison to on the ear for traditional DJ headphones, you can wear them a long time without getting annoyed by the pressing feeling on your ears.
Also the lengthy cord makes it so that you do not even have to be very close to your equipment, fully stretched it can reach out 7 meters.
The Differences
If you compare both headphones you notice that there are only slight differences. The SE-M10R has a lower power, but the lower impedance compensates well enough for a high output level (106 dB). Sound is a difference but it's not the only one.
The biggest difference between both headphones is that the Speaker Units from the HDJ are put on your ears. While the Speaker Units of the SEM10R are so large that you put them over your ears. Especially when you have to use the headphones for a very long time you definitely notice the difference.
A headphone on your ears give a certain pressure that might annoy you when you have to play a long set. This is more a personal choice than that you can say that one type of model is better than the other.

Large diameter Speaker
The biggest difference with the HDJ-1000 is the Pioneer SE-M10R has much larger Speaker Units. These are about the same size as the legendary SE-450. The sound is also very much different though. The SE-M10R sound warm and has a very accurate mid. Sound is always hard to describe, listening to it for real is the only way to find out of this is what you like.
Folding Swiffle Design
The Pioneer SM-M10R was designed with the same type of joints as you might be used to when you know the SE-DJ5000 and/or the HDJ-1000.
You first press the cushion to each other, than press them in and then inwards... click !
Very long cable
When stretched out all the way the cable has a length of about 7 meters, normally the length is about 2.5 meters. This is extremely useful when your cd/record case cannot be placed near the mixer.
Cable easy to replace
When there might be something wrong with the cable you can simply buy a new one and replace it yourself. It's as easy as turning the plug in the Speaker Unit and watch carefully to the markers.
Adjusting the height
It's best to have both Speaker Unit at the same height, you can simply count to dots to set the height on both sides the same.
The mechanism is locked with a metal screw to make sure that the height will never change unless you want it.

Het is toch eerder bedoeld om hem als monitor te gebruiken tijdens het producen bijvoorbeeld.
Of zit ik er nu helemaal naast :x
