Technics EAH-DJ 1200

The most impressive feature of the EAH-DJ 1200 headphones is the unique 270-degree swivelling ear pads. This mechanism allows the headphones to be adjusted with peerless flexibility for every head shape and every use case, even when listening with just one ear. And the soft padding ensures a comfortable fit, even during long sessions on the decks or in the studio. In recent years, Technics has increased its focus on the audiophile market segment, a decision from which the EAH-DJ 1200 also benefits: The sound is nicely balanced and impressively clear, without any appreciable distortion – even at the high volumes which are commonplace in the DJ booth (though of course they are equally suitable for studio use).

Technics was created as a brand for premium hifi equipment by the Japanese Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. in 1965. The brand wrote its name in the history books with the launch of its flagship SL-1210 MK2 record player in 1978, which soon played a pivotal role in shaping DJ culture and became the most iconic DJ turntable of all time. Scratching and beatmixing would probably never have been invented without the innovative features of the "wheels of steel". Technics suddenly disappeared from the scene in 2010, and did not return until 2014 when the Panasonic Corporation decided to revive the brand. After initially launching high-priced versions of its legendary 1200 turntable series, Technics finally presented the SL-1200 MK7 turntable and the EAH-DJ 1200 headphones in 2023 to provide DJs with modern, updated versions of classic products that had long been awaited with great anticipation, and to revive the renowned Technics tradition across the entire DJ community.
