beyerdynamic DT-150 Reviews

The classic!

I have several pairs of closed cans for tracking. These just work. Somehow there is less spill as well, especially when pulling one side a little off my ear while tracking vocals. It’s barely audible on the soloed vocal track. They also work well to keep click track out of overheads for drum tracking. Also,

the price is nice.

Most comfortable headphones

I own three pairs of these headphones. I got my first pair to listen to music while coding. They are so comfortable I can wear them hours on end with no discomfort. The killer feature is that they don't press against the earlobes. This lets the skin behind the earlobes breathe.

The sound is great, the sound is open and natural.

I never needed to replace the cable, but it's a really good option to have as the cable is the part most liable to damage.

There's one quality issue, that's when the headphones start emitting a soft rattle sound when reproducing low frequencies at higher volumes. It might be just because of wear, because I clocked a lot of hours in these headphones. But two of the three pairs I have, developed this problem. They're now useless for mixing and pretty much for listening to music, too. I keep them as feedback headphones for recording sessions.

Still, the comfort aspect is so important for me and so well covered by DT-150 that when one pair starts to rattle, I buy another pair.

Do What They Should - really well ...

I can wear them for hours; I prefer them over my Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro. Mixes on them translate well. I appreciate the replaceable, long and straight cable. You need these!

Best headphones I've owned.

Listen, I've had a good deal of headphones in my life. In addition to being a musician on my off time, I work at the computer for sometimes 4 or 5 hours straight. During that time, I am almost always with headphones on listening to music. I've never found headphones as comfortable as these. And I have quite a big head, mind you. Even still, I can almost forget I have them on.

Additionally, they sound amazing (which I hear is quite valued by headphone enthusiasts) and they look straight out of a Beatles studio session.

Only downside is the connector is a proprietary one, so even though the cable is detachable, it attaches to the headphone via some pins and a small screw. That can be a nuissance if, like me, you're used to forgetting you have headphones on and take off from your desk. If you do that with these, chances are you might drag the mixer along with you. And that sucks. Also, the fact they use a proprietary connector limits your choice of cables for instance. So forget about getting a telephone wire cable. You get this cable and this cable alone. Those are small downsides. These are perfect otherwise. At least for big headed giants like me that love retro-looking things.

the old treasure

The old headphone that is better than dt880, designed in a complete style, more bass, mid in the right place

Good price for the sound but the quality leaves much to be desired

I would like to thank the store for how quickly the goods were delivered to me. From a store in Germany to a post office in St. Petersburg, it reached exactly in a week. On February 1 I was accepted at the department and on the morning of February 9 I could already pick up the parcel.

Now lets talk about the Bayerdynamic product itself. It would be foolish to expect something supernatural from a company at such a price, however, for a headphone model that has been produced for more than a dozen years, it was possible to take into account the main shortcomings. The kit includes the headphones themselves, 6.3 jack, cable and screws for fixing it in the headphone cup, as well as 2 booklets (warranty and instructions). Ear cushions are one of the main and well-known shortcomings of this model. Firstly, they are made of cheap and low-quality materials. Secondly, they may not suit everyone in terms of fit and size, causing discomfort, and for someone even bringing pain to the ear cartilage. This is what happened to me. A 1.5 month after use I get a sight of the ear tips began to crack at the place of their inserting. After 3 months knit line full diverged. Since they caused pain at the edges of my ears, it was decided to order custom ear pads from a combination of calfskin and Alcantara, as well as latex filling. Almost half a year has passed and one of the speakers stopped reproducing sound, while the sound of the second one became quieter. I admit that I came across an unsuccessful copy but the unpleasant impression remained.

There are better options, also from Beyerdynamic

Comfort is not good, padding is to little in all the spots it needs it, not what I'm used to with Beyerdynamic products. The 6.3 jack does not connect very well, I always need to fiddle to get sound in both earpads (no issue when using the same skrew-on connector on other beyer headphones). Too loose for comfort, placement only one way because of the narrow shape, I will replace them in time with a DT 770/990 Pro or similar.

Un extraño pero extraordinario micrófono.

Compré estos audífonos porque el diseño me encantó. Y además quería sentirme especial siendo el único que lo tenia, ya que son unos audífonos muy poco conocido. Pero ya tengo un año de uso, y puedo decir lo siguiente. De verdad vale la pena, es muy cómodo, se escucha impecable, puede que un poco más bajo de lo que pensaba, pero realmente aceptable, ya que el audio es extremadamente fiel, el audio no está distorsionado con graves o con un volumen exagerado. Eso si, aprovechen y compren otras almohadillas, me han durado pero posiblemente en un año más ya me gustaría cambiarla.

The best headphones you can buy.

The Beyerdynamic DT-150 are extremely comfortable and are excellent for tracking as they have good isolation. The sound quality is amazing. The sound is natural without any hyped frequencies. The cord is of very good quality and everything is user replaceable. I have some experience with other studio headphones from top brands but nothing compares favourably with these.

Ideal for studio work.

I use this headphones for two years mainly for tracking bass and guitars. They are great for the job.

pros:

Natural sounding. Good isolation. Build like a tank!

cons:

Not very comfortable for a long runs. A little bit on the heavy side.

Great for both recording and cassual music listening

The headphones emit a very detailed sound. I upgraded from a pair of 70 euro studio headphones and it was definitely worth the price.

The sound was really surprising. Bought for tracking and wasn't expecting such a great music listening experience. The bass sounds defined with headroom to spare. Mids and highs are super clear. Great headphones!

DTs are always great

All of the DT range are great and have been industry standard for many years. These offer everything you'd expect from BD.

I 'd wear it all day. No problemo.

Good, detailed sound, not bass heavy, no pressure on my head.

When listening to higher volumes, the sound doesn't distort or become harsh. I use it to play guitar through a Yamaha THR10, listen to PC audio, watch movies, and even mix in my DAW. You will need an extra push from your headphone amp because it's 250 ohms, but it delivers enough volume to smash your ear drums. Even when you use it with your phone.

Good Studio Headphones

Despite the rectangular shape, on the head sit very comfortably, the sound is excellent, detailed.

Very good closed headphones

Noise isolation is very good, though to me the seal was not tight enough, construction is solid though, so you only need to bend the band a bit to whatever you'd like.

After a bit of eq they sound more balanced than the 770.

Out of the box they are perfect for any <1990s genres when noise isolation is required.

They come in a no-nonsense cardboard box, a small testament to their status as a professional classic.

Best in price range

Very clear and brutally honest sound. The bass is there too but doesn't overwhelm the rest of the spectrum. Very interesting to work with and highly recommended for anyone seeking a new experience.

Nice

Great cans for recording. Sound doesn't come out . Never had to change parts so far but you can if needed.

Perfect!

Normally it is expected that the more expensive headphones also correspond to a higher overall quality of the product and although this is often the case, this DT150 headphones are the demonstration that, sometimes, the most expensive instruments not always correspond to the most useful tool for our purpose. I tried several studio headphones but these DT150, are really great for monitoring the recording signal. What you hear from the headphones is coherent with the audio signal that you get from the reference monitors and in my opinion this is the optimal function of a studio headset, amateur and professional.

Studio standard

I use these headphones in a recording studio while tracking.

They are comfortabe to use and sound good. They look good and are built to last. The sound is neutral and well balanced.

I don't use them for mixing but occasionally check mixes on them for reference.

I have not had any problem with them.

Highly recommended!

Peerless sound quality but not as tough as they should be

I love the crisp, accurate sound of these cans, but one of the screws keeping the headband and the left can attached fell off after only a few months use. A bit disappointing.

Still, everything is feed replaceable.
