Mixstory Cue Professional DJ Headphones

The Mixstory Cue Professional DJ Headphones are designed around the specific acoustic and physical requirements of DJ monitoring rather than general-purpose listening — a distinction that determines every specification from driver size to cup geometry to cable configuration. DJ monitoring demands a different set of priorities than audiophile headphone design: high SPL capability to hear the cue channel clearly over stage monitoring and crowd noise, physical isolation to prevent ambient sound bleed into the ear cup while cueing, mechanical durability to survive the wear of daily professional use, and the specific fold geometry that allows single-ear monitoring with the cup rotated away from one ear for live beat-matching. Mixstory’s 50mm neodymium driver is one of the largest units used in a headphone at this price point — the larger driver diameter allows both the bass extension and the SPL capability that DJ monitoring requires without the distortion at high listening levels that smaller drivers produce when pushed hard. The frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz extends well below and above the audible range, ensuring that the drivers are operating in their linear response region across the full audible spectrum at all listening levels up to the rated 110 dB SPL maximum. Closed-back over-ear construction with 60mm deep cup chambers and memory foam ear cushions provides 28 dB of passive isolation — sufficient to hear the cue channel clearly at moderate volumes over most stage monitoring environments without requiring excessively high volume levels that accelerate hearing fatigue. The swiveling ear cup design rotates 90 degrees in both directions for single-ear monitoring in either orientation and allows flat folding for carry bag storage. A coiled 3m cable is supplied for static DJ booth use; a straight 1.2m cable is supplied for mobile and broadcast applications. Both cables terminate in 3.5mm with an included 6.35mm adapter. Dimensions: ear cup 100mm × 95mm × 60mm. Weight: 285 g.
