Living in Bali I know of a few international DJs and I think it’s safe to say that most of them would appreciate memory foam padding in their headphones. This new Pioneer HDJ-2000 headphones has not only that, and no it doesn’t have a built-in scratch pad, but what it does have are 50mm driver units with a 3,500 MW input for the best sound at the highest volumes. And to make sure you can scratch in supreme comfort, there’s a unique magnesium swivel mechanism for 90 degree movement, not to mention that the said memory foam would mould to the shape of your ears. [Electricpig]
