Our verdict

Pro-Ject suits anyone assembling a hi-fi system around a turntable, then adding speakers and headphones from the same brand, and its 9.2 overall score reflects a range that is broad without being the cheapest on the shelf. Entry costs €59.90, and the 2 year warranty gives longer cover than most rivals.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Headphones start at €59.90, under the site median entry price of €86.82.
  • The warranty runs 2 years and ranks 4 of 56 brands, ahead of the site median of 1 years.
  • A single brand covers headphones, speakers and hi fi, where HyperX covers headphones and earbuds and CORSAIR covers headphones.
  • Support comes with the purchase through email, phone and help centre, and the company behind it, Audio Tuning Vertriebs GmbH, has traded since 1991.
  • Dispatch is listed for AT, BE and BG, so a buyer across that list is covered by the same entry price of €59.90.

Cons

  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat listed for anyone who wants it.
  • The entry price of €59.90 ranks 36 of 64 brands on our data, so it sits mid field rather than at the cheap end.
  • The catalogue stops at headphones, speakers and hi fi, leaving out the earbuds HyperX covers in headphones and earbuds and the soundbars and portable speakers in headphones, earbuds and speakers.
  • Buying runs through the listed countries, AT, BE and BG, so a shopper outside that list has no direct route to the €59.90 entry price.

Scored 9.2 / 10 by GizmoCue.

Who it suits

  • Vinyl buyers who want speakers, hi-fi and headphones from the same maker, with a 2 year warranty behind the set.
  • Shoppers inside AT, BE and BG who want entry headphones at €59.90 and cover longer than the site median warranty of 1 years.
  • People who would rather send an email or pick up the phone than start a chat, since support runs on email, phone and help centre.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Earbuds buyers, who will find headphones and earbuds at HyperX while Pro-Ject's list, headphones, speakers and hi fi, holds no earbuds.
  • Soundbar and portable speaker shoppers, since JBL covers headphones, earbuds and speakers against Pro-Ject's narrower headphones, speakers and hi fi.
  • Gaming headset buyers, who will find a tighter headphones range at CORSAIR than the hi-fi and turntable mix at Pro-Ject.

How it compares on our data

Pro-Ject lands in the middle of the field on price. Its entry price ranks 36 of 64 brands on our data, so it is neither the cheapest name on the shelf nor an outlier. Warranty length tells a different story: 4 of 56 brands ranked, which sits near the front. Put together, the ranks describe a brand that competes on cover rather than on the lowest ticket, and a shopper paying above the middle on price is buying longer protection with it.

The company behind it

Pro-Ject is sold by Audio Tuning Vertriebs GmbH, registered in Austria, and has been building audio gear since 1991. Buying from a named company rather than a marketplace listing means a warranty claim sits with an entity you can identify. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a question can go to a person by phone or email as well as through a help centre. That record and those channels are the practical reason a longer warranty here is a reasonable expectation.

Frequently asked questions

What does Pro-Ject actually sell?+

The range is built around vinyl: headphones, speakers and hi fi. Headphones sit alongside the turntables, speakers and hi-fi components, so a system can be matched without moving to another maker. JBL covers a wider list, headphones, earbuds and speakers, while HyperX stays on headphones and earbuds.

How much do Pro-Ject headphones cost?+

Headphones start at €59.90, which is under the median entry price across the site, €86.82. Within the headphones and earbuds ranking the median is €60.68, so the entry point sits below the middle of its own category as well.

Is there a warranty, and how long does it last?+

Pro-Ject carries a 2 year warranty, and that ranks 4 of 56 brands ranked on warranty length. The site median warranty is 1 years, so the cover runs longer than the typical listing here.

Which countries can I order from?+

Dispatch is listed for AT, BE and BG, and the store is operated from AT. Buyers inside that list see the entry price of €59.90 with the 2 year warranty applied as stated, while anyone outside the list needs to arrange delivery separately.

How do I get help from Pro-Ject?+

Support runs through email, phone and help centre, which covers email, a phone line and a help centre, so a question can reach a person rather than sit in a queue. A shopper who wants live chat, not among email, phone and help centre, would have to look at another brand.

Who is the legal company behind the brand?+

The brand trades as Audio Tuning Vertriebs GmbH in AT and has been operating since 1991. That matters for a warranty claim, because the 2 year cover is honoured by the named company rather than by a reselling marketplace.

Should I pick Pro-Ject over JBL?+

It depends on the category you need. JBL covers headphones, earbuds and speakers, adding earbuds, portable speakers and soundbars to the turntable and hi-fi types the two brands share, while Pro-Ject answers the narrower question of turntables, speakers and headphones.
