Great Headphones (but also check the DT-770s)
sarcobe 03.12.2019
I bought these headphones as a replacement for a DT-770 Pro. I really like the latter, but after using DT-770s for 7 years, I wanted to try something different.

Pros:
- The headphones are not too bulky and rather lightweight.
- The cable is replaceable! (This is important for me, as this is always the first thing to break)
- The sound is excellent! I would describe it as balanced, not as bass-heavy as the DT-770.

Cons:
- The DT-250 are still comfortable to wear, but I could wear the DT-770s for a longer period of time without feeling any strain.
- I don't like the curly cable, it gets in the way when e.g. playing guitar.
- The replaceable cable uses a proprietary connector on the headphone side.
- Isolation is not that good. For monitoring usage when recording drums, I would still prefer the DT-770s.

To summarize: overall I like these headphones, but the DT-770s are available for the same price (or less). In my opinion: buy the DT-250 if you don't like bulky headphones or prefer a more neutral sound-stage. If not: just buy the DT-770s!

My go-to studio headphones
rayzer... 03.04.2022
Bought these not too long ago, been using them almost everyday and more so when i need to tweak sounds with a decent level of accuracy.

I heard these were flatter than the DT770 but a lot older design and much lighter, they seem to be overlooked a lot nowadays.
Theyre really comfortable and light and i can wear them for hours, the only real downside about these is that the coiled cable is a bit heavy. I wish a short straight cable was available.
Build wise the part just under the headband where it can move feels like it would break easily if youre not careful, but im aware of it so i make sure to be gentle with them.
Ive also heard of balance issues with them in the past but mine are perfect so im guessing its been fixed since.
Love these headphones, the broadcast look may not appeal to a lot of people but i dont care. Good sound is where it matters to me.

No nonsense sound pleasure
jwojwo 05.08.2020
These are my second pair. I've had the first pair for 15 years, and finally the cable broke after commuting to work for 5 years. Now I have the first pair at work with a new cable, and the new pair is used in my studio.

Sound quality is detailed without becoming tiresome after 8hour use. Honest and dynamic sound where it is easy to hear nuances in what you play. Also, a good recording will be recognized, as well as a lesser one. However, the bad one is not unlistenable.
I really don't have any complaints. Just enjoying the music!

Comparing the new pair with the used one, there is perhaps a little bit crisper sound in the new pair, but the overall character is the same. What else can you keep using after 15 years nowadays?

The construction is very clever, with replaceable parts, and easy change of plug size with the provided adapter.

Yes, it's plastic.
SSaZae 20.04.2021
Yes, it's plastic.

It means lightness.
Plastic noise? No, it's solidly built. It's quiet.

These inform us that they are useful for long-term recording.

If your head is as big as ET, it's hard to operate.
But if you're an Earthman, you'd love this product.

It is possible that Reptilians is the one who is reluctant to use this product.

Industry standard
Trev 21.05.2015
This is my second pair of DT-250s. The first pair were kept by an artist I work with after 'borrowing' them for rehearsals! He preferred them over his in-ears for live monitoring and he's known for his perfectionism.
I use them for everything in the studio as well as for live sound. They translate well and provide good isolation but they don't flatter the sound at all which I like.
They are over ear fit and closed back which I prefer, additional isolation can be achieved by pressing them onto the ears.
Confort is good and the fabric ear pads are better than vinyl types for prolonged use.
The build quality is sturdy so they travel well on my international touring work either with the flight cases or in my backpack.
I expect long service from my DT-250s and will probably buy more for studio clients to replace my DT-100s.

Good with Steinberg UR242
babul 19.10.2020
I previously used HyperX Cloud (60 ohm) and I was worried that DT250/80 might be a little much, but looks like I don't have to change anything at all to retain the volume. That was my concern, because UR242 is designed for 40 ohm in theory. With DT250, when I crank up everything to max, it's still a little too loud, so I guess that's fine (tested on Spotify/Youtube). They are comfy, but I'll see when I get to use them for a bit longer. They are also very light. And of course, big plus for replacable parts - headband, ear pads, cable. Cable is using a little screw, so it doesn't fall out. Small thing, but not an issue - coiled cable turns back into original position, so depending on your position, you might feel it pulling back a little, that's not a biggie though.

Sound wise - I don't really have good comparison, since those are my first headphones designed for proffessional use, but comparing to my previous ones they seem more natural, sound doesn't seem biased towards highs or lows. Listening to Spotify I started hearing their lossy quality, so I guess that's a good thing.

Best for Mixing
IWWI 08.07.2020
These headphones do have a very flat freq. response and are super good to do pre-mixing when you don't have speakers. I am always surprised when I listen back on my Dynaudio BM6 how much this headphone translate to it.

Vergleich zu DT-770 Pro: Bässe und Höhen weniger Hi-Fi-artig, Mitten Karton-artig
lpirl 18.06.2023
Ich habe neue Kopfhörer für Live/FOH gesucht. Idealerweise sollte das neue Paar auch zum Abhören bei Aufnahmen verwendet werden, insbesondere bei relativ feinen Signalen bei lautem Abhören (z. B. Stimmen auf Musik).

Meine klangliche Referenz waren HD 650. Der Vergleich ist etwas Äpfel zu Birnen, da HD 650 von offener Bauart sind, aber zu irgendwas muss sich ja relativ eingeordnet werden.

Hier ein paar schnelle Eindrücke zum DT-250: Frequenzgang mit etwas Sub- und Brillanz-Hype, weniger als bei DT-770 Pro, aber v. a. mehr Höhen als HD 650 (mir zu viel). In den Mitten leider recht Karton-artig. Alles schon OK für einen geschlossenen Kopfhörer, aber überzeugt war ich nicht. Kein Stereo-Bild, klingen auf meinem Kopf einfach wie zwei Lautsprecher am Ohr, nicht wie ein Kopfhörer. Weniger Isolation in Höhen als DT-770 Pro. Das Spiralkabel ist schwer und zieht recht doll an der linken Seite.

Quality sound
hermonassa 19.08.2017
I'm using my DT-205/80's for mixing and casual music listening.

Pros:
Sound quality - detailed and accurate representation. The build quality is great too, I could throw these in my backpack for everyday carry and haven no issues.

Cons:
Comfort. This might be a personal issue as the ear cups are a tad too small for my ears. They cover my ears alright, but the edges of the ear cups are touching my ears, which makes long sessions uncomfortable.

All in all, a great pair of headphones for studio work, but large eared individuals might prefer bigger cups.

DT-250
/Simon 09.09.2014
The beyerdynamic DT-250s are real workhorses, i use mine mostly for cue/soloing at FOH, but also on an everyday basis. They have actually been forgot at a festival in the dirt and we found them about a week later, still going strong, no effect on sound or appearance, even though taking a lot of rain! I really recommend these headphones, their great for all kinds of work!
