FAQs
Are these headphones suitable for casual listening as well as DJing?
Yes, the HDP DJ60 headphones offer a balanced sound profile suitable for both professional DJ monitoring and general music listening, providing clear audio and good bass.
What is the length of the spiral cable?
The spiral cable extends up to 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet), offering significant freedom of movement.
Do these headphones come with a carrying case?
The product information does not specify a carrying case. However, their foldable design makes them compact for storage.
Can I use these headphones with my smartphone?
Yes, the headphones come with a 3.5mm connector, which is standard for most smartphones. A 6.35mm adapter is also included for professional audio gear.
How effective is the noise cancellation?
The HDP DJ60 features passive noise isolation, achieved through its circumaural design and soft ear pads. This helps to reduce ambient noise, but it is not active noise cancellation.
Are the ear pads replaceable?

What is the impedance of these headphones?
The impedance of the Hercules HDP DJ60 headphones is 32 Ohms.
Troubleshooting
No sound from headphones
Ensure the audio cable is securely plugged into both the headphones and the audio source. Verify that the correct input is selected on your audio device and that the volume is turned up. Test with a different audio source or cable if possible.
Low volume output
Check the volume settings on both the audio source and the headphones (if applicable). Ensure the headphones are fully plugged in. The impedance of 32 Ohms is standard, but some devices may require an amplifier for maximum output.
Audio distortion or crackling
Check the cable connections for any damage or looseness. Ensure the audio source is not clipping or sending a distorted signal. Try lowering the volume on the source. Clean the headphone jack and the device's output port.
Uncomfortable fit
Adjust the headband to find a secure yet comfortable position. Ensure the earcups are properly aligned over your ears. The ear pads are designed to be soft, but allow time for them to conform to your head shape.
