So I’m playing, mixing and having a good time than it happens again. I place my HDJ1000’s on my head and they break right above the earcup the same place the last pair I had broke …

He goes on to explain that these headphones had only been in use for 3 months.

Further posts report much of the same:

I hate to tell ya but Im having the same issues with the HDJ1000s. Im on pair #4, 1st pair broke 1 week post warranty expiration and second pair broke 1 week into use , 6 months later, same ish , broken plastic. I think I have purchased my last pair despite the great sound they provide.

My brother’s HDJ1000s (second pair) have also cracked and broken in the same place.

I just had my 1000’s bust on me tonight exactly the same way

There are many more posts concerning the same issue. The rub is that Pioneer customer service allegedly takes up to 2 monthes to fix these issues. While it is true that if the allegations are true that Pioneer is at fault ( in my opinion ) why would you by the same product over and over expecting a different result ?

Bit of madness for all parties involved there in my opinion. At any rate I’d avoid them, any of you have a pair ? have you had problems ?
