Pioneer SE-MJ 522-R headphone review

Here it is worth noting that at first glance these headphones are just twins with the PyonersE-MJ512-W model, but, as it turned out during the listening process, this is not quite true.

Ergonomics:

The only difference from the “younger” brother apart from the frame color and the ear cushions finishing – we tested the headset with a headband of pleasant, not aggressive red color and with classic black “ears” is the width of the headband – it is 4-5 mm wider. As a result, with slightly heavier weight 120g , they fit noticeably more comfortably, there are no additional distracting sensations from the top of the head. After 3 seconds you already forget that you have something on your head.

Sound

By the numbers… “Higher and higher and higher…” Sensitivity – 105 dB it’s clear that if it’s not even necessary, it’s good playable frequency band – from 10 Hz to 28 000 Hz again, not hear, but nice maximum power – 1000 mW but for this, together with the increased sensitivity, a separate Thank you. It seems that quite a drive unit well, where without her, dear advertising, this time it is “a powerful sound of bass.

Let’s go. Very good! The general character of the somewhat emphasized middle is preserved, but how much better the development of the range edges is, a gain in microdynamics is clearly felt, from some “blurring” there is no trace at all. Maybe the bass depth has not increased, but its relief and dynamics has increased many times, the scene has widened a lot and now it does not seem to sit on your head.

Conclusion:

A clear case of fair and justified price difference. It could well be worth twice as much if you play times better. This is not that common. Practice shows that in the world of “big” HI-FI you can sometimes pay 10 times more and get a quality gain at the level of perception, but then, rather as a compensatory mechanism for the preservation of self-esteem well, do not admit for yourself that you so dashingly cheated . In our case – all by the fair. I like it!
