Thats like the official drummer's monitors, sometimes back there was nothing that Isolated more from the outside, the closest of the closed backs, plus they never have enough Kick Drums, that kind of bass boost help.What an oddity. I assume this must still sell well enough to continue it. Studio /Pro use perhaps? I'm guessing it's robust.
Not sure why anyone would buy this for home /hifi though.
Ehh, another crap Beyer, just like most of their lineup...
I am no Historian, but according to this guy, it was released in the late 60s, Wow, a 50+ year old design... (there was no references to this text so "real" historians are welcome to chime in.)I am sure one of the forum historians will tell us but I think this is a 20+ year old design and it shows it.
The 'half' DT150's are called DT108 and exist in 50 and 400 ohm impedances.I've been curious about this headphone ever since I saw the below video where they used them a lot.
Is it the DT-150? I think it is. This is a live recording of Joe Hisaishi's "Departure".
I think the video has pretty good sound for Youtube.

The headphones themselves are not cheap tough for a studio monitor, I was actually surprised that they where more expensive than the DT770 which is already an expensive studio monitor, the latter certainly "look" more expensive. Wondering if it's more mainly some mystique nostalgia thing or if there is a real performance or robustness benefit, beside isolation, and even that. Even large studios like to keep cost in check for large quantities of monitors from what I saw around. Those models are quite oldies. Of course the artist themselves will get what they like. As standard goes, of course there is not one to rule them all but I think the main one used to be the MDR-7506, with a stear toward Audio-Technica M-series in the 3rd millenium forward, but of course it's just generalities, Senns, Beyers and AKGs are common too.DT100, 108, 109, DT150 and DT250 are often found in studios, the DT150 has the best isolation (with or pads).
Not easy to break, good attenuation of outside noises, work fine as a monitor (even with original pads), all parts are available and easy to replace, they are cheap.
Sennheiser and AKG do not make anything as sturdy (well maybe the HD25 but that's an on-ear) and ugly looking so there is little competition.
In Japan the JVC/Victor MX10B/MX100Z/V and Sony MDR-M1ST monitoring headphones are pretty popular tooThe headphones themselves are not cheap tough for a studio monitor, I was actually surprised that they where more expensive than the DT770 which is already an expensive studio monitor, the latter certainly "look" more expensive.

Hello,
I own the DT-250 (80 ohms).
What is the difference in bass response between DT-150 and DT-250 ?
And what is the difference between the 80 and 250 ohms ?
I plan to upgrade in the next months or so. That said, I have them for nearly 20 years now, they are really sturdy and they served me well.
And if someone has EQ curves for the DT-250, I would like to see them !
Best wishes,
