One thing that stands out for me with the new models compared to the older HRM-7 is the build quality. The Pioneer HRM-5 & HRM-6 seem a lot more sturdy, with more substance but saying that, I think that arent designed with the idea of them never leaving your mixing desk. They both are very portable and aimed very much so, at the travelling producer that is aways 'on the go'. I would be very cautious if I were to throw the 7's in a travel bag whilst sat on a plane flight... No actually, I wouldnt do that at all, they would break... But the new models, I probably would, but obviously with caution ;)
You see where im going though... They just give more options to the producers out there and one thing that i think that Pioneer are trying to stress, is that dj headphones are NOT studio headphones. Until you actually hear the difference for yourself, I dont think that you would fully understand that statement, they sound a million times different as the settings are made worlds apart... For example, if your djing on a Void System, youre going to need something which can handle bass at volume... and if your producing a track, you dont want the bass distorting the rest of the track.
Pioneer HRM-5 & HRM-6
Pioneer HRM-5 & HRM-6 Review
Following the success of the Pioneer HRM-7, a specific studio monitoring headphone, Pioneer have now added two more headphones to their studio monitor range, the HRM-5 and the HRM-6. These arent to replace the amazing HRM-7's, theyre just additional cans to give more options to the consumers. They both have a new 40 mm driver, giving a frequency range up to 40 KHz. They come with detachable cables, ultra comfortable memory foam ear pads, and snug adjustable headbands..... Also, all of the parts are replaceable.
