The only thing you need to know, if you love the sound, and believe of buying one do, BUT... DON'T EVER! and I repeat EVER, overstretch the headband, or you will have the same thing happen to you as well.

My luck was that I bought it at a dutch webshop called tonecontrol.nl . The owner did not hesitate in substituting my HDJ-500 with a newer one and sending the old one back to pioneer.

After all this time I still love the sound and fit of the HDJ-500.
a quick fix for the headphone band... if you remove the leather padding from the top of the band, then glue the band back together. after that wrap the band in cheap leather, then put the padding back on it should strengthen it and look cool in the process

I have a pair of Pioneer HDJ 500 K for sale if you are interested. I have had them for about a year (never gigged) and still like new. I replaced them with a pair of TMA 1s on black friday last year.

I tried that, but the fit left much to be desired from that point on...

the band breaks easily. the headphones themselves sounds fairly good for the price, although they are a tad bit bass heavy.

Have mine for almost a year now, and they're pretty good for budget-friendly headphones. If it's for home use or just for the iPod or what's not, it's a fine set for the price.

if they break, most pioneer service centres will refuse to fix them

i have had friends who broke the hdj500 and was madly enraged when the service centre said it has "no serviceable parts" and wear and tear is not covered by warranty :/

Try them first. I really like them although they are plastic.
