Pioneer has released their new DJ headphones: HDJ 1500
 
They are supposed to be somewhere between the HDJ 500 and the popular HDJ 2000. 
 
Here you can compare the basic info about the 3 headphones: http://pioneerdj.com/index_f.html#/en/products/hdj1500/more

From first looks, these look pretty damn good. Wonder how they'll compare to the other pioneer models and other dj headphones similarly priced.

They look nice, but mainly like a refined HDJ-1000. I'm curious to know how they sound compared to the HDJ2000.

 

[Rezound Sound]

Those look awesome! I hope they sound as good, if not, better than they look.

Ohh man, they look gorgeous! I hope they sound good though.

If they stayed true to the Pioneer house sound, then it should be a very fun, bassy set of cans, yet still neutral enough to handle other genres.

Interesting!!

I'm sure the 2000's will have more detail and clarity. I'm wondering how the isolation will compare.

This is interesting, I had no idea they released a new can. Awesome, I'll have to check it out when I get the chance.

Has anyone got these yet? How are they (SQ-wise)?

I had a listen to these at BestBuy next to the HDJ-2000 (which I also own). It's a night and day difference, and not in a good way. Maybe it was a defective HDJ-1500 or something, but there was practically no bottom end and the remaining mid and upper end sounded very hollow. Isolation seemed about the same.

Weird? Anyone else tried a pair? I wanted the 2000's but I have waited because of these

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't take my chance to listen to these at Best Buy 2 days ago. Didn't realize they weren't HDJ1000s.

If you don't want to pay the premium for the 2000, the 500 is quite good and sounds similar (arguably bassier)

These are headphones with REALLY thick mids, wide-tubey bass, and recessed highs. That's what they sound like when plugged into an iphone 4. But I am getting a portable amplifier in like 3 weeks called the C&C BH portable amplifier. I'm gonna see what they sound like with a good amplifier opposed to the amp inside an iphone 4 and give a review
