Beyerdynamic DT 250-80 Professional Headphones

Pros: Comfortable, amazing sound, great surround, well priced, one sided removable cord!
Cons: Not very portable.

I need to start with a small preface, I love sound, I’m obsessed with it, and I listen to sound all day and all night on all different speakers and TV’s and car systems. Due to my audiophile nature it is very possible there are things that would ...

Pros: Excellent sound quality, wide-range reproduction, comfy, lightweight, excellent build quality
Cons: If you have big ears, your ears might get tired after a while.

I used to have big bulky Sony MDR-V600 studio monitor headphones, and I thought they had a pretty decent sound that was rich in bass and crystal clear in the highs. But then I managed to break the plug on those in an airplane and figured it's time I did ...

Pros: Controlled, detailed sound,especially good bass. Good,modular construction. modular
Cons: Don't fold. Expensive.

I love these headphones. I bought them as an upgrade to Grado SR-60s, initially because I needed isolation (sound blocking) but I quickly fell in love with the sound.
These are not "sparkly" sounding headphones. They don't sound dead either, but...

Pros: Comfortable, Excellent Sound All Round
Cons: None

I am a fan of Heavy Metal to Jazz and everything in-between. I have to say, there is nothing that will beat the sound of Smooooooth Jazz through a pair of Grado's, 325's and up. But every now and then I like to throw on Judas Priest "Live from Memphis"...

Pros: Great sound and excellent comfort for the price
Cons: Sub-audiophile sound quality, but just fine for most listeners

The Beyer DT-250 headphones are a good choice as an entry level high-end head phone, offering high-fi sensitivity, wide dynamic range (10 Hz to 30,000 Hz), and a remarkably comfortable cushion and head band, as well as a simply stated professional...

Pros: Decent sound, good isolation, comfortable (velour earpads!), affordable.
Cons: Too hot to wear in the summer!

Once you graduate from the stock headphones that came with your portable CD player, you begin to realize how good music can really sound. I'm a student and don't have a lot of money to spend on fancy stereo equipment, so investing in a decent set of...

Pros: Durable. Good value $170 US. Comfort. Great sound for sealed headphones. Kills Sony's. Isolation.
Cons: Preferred Sennheiser HD 25. Bulky. Ugly. Still serious $ for headphones. For sealed users only!

I use headphones for composing music on a notebook PC while riding public transit. I was looking for great sound, the highest durability, efficiency (needed for notebook amps), portability, and high isolation of outside noise (closed design). After ...

Pros: Well built, good sound, decent isolation
Cons: a bit bass heavy

The DT250 is a very good choice for anyone looking for isolation, durability and good sound. They are 80 ohms and efficient so just about anything will power them including portable players. However, use of a headphone amp is helpful and recommended to...

Pros: sound, comfort, price, isolation
Cons: flimsy build

My Grado SR60s sounded great, but they bugged everyone around me. They're designed that way; they leak sound. So my quest was for closed headphones that sounded as good as my Grados, for under $200. These Beyers are it.

Very good sound, though...
