If you're ever in doubt that the pair of HDJ-1000 headphones you're about to buy are the real thing  here is a quick check list that will give you comfort that you're getting one of the best pair of headphones around?



Check the Logo: The letter "o" in our logo is always a perfect oval, just like in the picture below. If your headphones have a round "o" they're most likely a replica.







Check the hinges: Pioneer's are always silver, as shown below. Black hinges mean fake.



 



Check the black headband section: it must extend all the way to towards the hinges. Fake copies have a black headband that extends only a very short way down.The Headband is not as padded as the real ones.

Sound Quality: Obviously isnt as good as the real thing although the sound is allright.

If you need any further advice or help, contact your nearest authorized dealer or call your local Pioneer office.



Good luck and enjoy your real set of headphones!
