Pioneer announces limited edition HDJ-1000 headphones

By Aemon Malone Published October 14, 2010

Standing out from the DJ crowd is no easy feat. Pioneer is set to help by offering a jazzed-up, limited edition of its popular HDJ-1000 headphones. The cans will be offered in two colors: black for the more modest turntablist, and a gold version for those seeking to add a little flash to their sets.

While primarily aimed at the fashion-conscious DJ, the limited edition HDJ-1000s will have plenty to offer for the average music listener as well. Pioneer has modified the mono-stereo selector circuit to give clearer playback in the midrange frequencies, and tuned the drivers for better playback in those all-important low range frequencies so important to the DJ’s craft.

It’s not just about looks either. Pioneer has tweaked the design and used a low rebound urethane to offer a more comfortable fit on the ears – perfect for an extended DJing session or for listening to Wagner’s Ring Cycle in one sitting.

Of course, the classic HDJ-1000 design will be relatively intact. Consumers and pros can expect the fold-away design for easy transportation and the stereo-mono selector switch for single-ear listening.

The black HDJ-1000-K and the gold HDJ-1000-G both are slated to be available this coming December with a $209 price tag.

Kia America COO says ending EV tax credit would be dumb

With Kia just getting started with the expansion of its U.S.-made electric-vehicle (EV) lineup, the automaker may have a good perspective on what losing tax incentives on EVs could mean for the industry and the economy.

The transition team of the incoming Trump administration is reportedly planning to end the federal $7,500 tax credit on the purchase or lease of an EV. Under the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), an EV made in North America is eligible for the incentive.
