What we like about Ultrasone DJ 1 Pro

  • High-quality sound with a spacious and detailed soundstage, particularly for closed-back headphones
  • Effective noise isolation provided by large, oversized earcups, which is beneficial for loud DJ environments
  • Durable and robust build quality that can withstand rough professional use
  • Generous accessory package typically includes a hard carrying case, two detachable cables (coiled and straight), and spare earpads
  • Ergonomically comfortable for many users during long listening sessions due to lightweight design and lower clamping pressure compared to some competitors
  • S-Logic technology aims to provide a more natural, three-dimensional spatial sound experience

What we don't like about Ultrasone DJ 1 Pro

  • Large and bulky design can feel cumbersome or look 'oversized' on the head
  • Maximum volume may be lower than competitors, which might be an issue with low-output audio gear in very loud clubs
  • Comfort can be polarizing; some find them too heavy (approx. 300g) or find the earcup fit doesn't conform well to all head shapes
  • Pleather earpads can become hot or sweaty during extended use and may require replacement after 1.5–2 years of heavy wear
  • Coiled cable is fixed with a 6.3mm (1/4") adapter, making it less convenient for use with standard 3.5mm portable devices

Verdict

The Ultrasone DJ 1 Pro is a professional closed-back headphone featuring 50mm Mylar drivers, a frequency response of 10Hz to 22kHz, 64-ohm impedance, and a sound pressure level of 102dB. It is built around the patented S-Logic Natural Surround Sound technology for a three-dimensional audio experience and ULE (Ultra Low Emission) MU-Metal shielding to reduce radiation by up to 98%. Main pros include its lightweight 295g foldable design, accurate sound reproduction suitable for studio monitoring, and a generous accessory package containing a hard case, spare ear pads, and two detachable 3m cables. However, notable cons include its predominantly plastic construction and a lower volume output compared to competing DJ models, which may lack the punch needed for high-noise club environments.
