Beyerdynamic DT 250 Closed-Back Monitoring Headphones, 80 Ohm

The Beyerdynamic DT 250 are professional closed-back monitoring headphones designed primarily for studio and broadcast applications. Their circumaural design features comfortable ear cups that fully encompass the ears, providing effective passive noise isolation while minimising sound leakage. This makes them particularly suitable for recording environments where microphone spillage must be avoided, whether for vocalists, podcasters, or musicians tracking instruments. The 80-ohm impedance version offers a balance between compatibility with professional studio equipment and reasonable performance from consumer audio devices. Key features include 45mm dynamic drivers powered by neodymium magnet systems, which deliver a balanced and accurate sound signature essential for critical listening and mixing decisions. The frequency response ranges from 10Hz to 30kHz, capturing both low-end detail and high-frequency clarity. The single-sided, detachable coiled cable measures approximately 9.8 feet (3 metres) and terminates in a 3.5mm jack, with a 6.35mm adapter included for professional interfaces. The lightweight construction, weighing around 0.53 lbs (240 grams), combined with an adjustable, padded headband and advanced ear cushion system, ensures comfort during extended sessions. These headphones are best suited for audio professionals, including sound engineers, producers, broadcasters, and serious home studio enthusiasts who require accurate, uncoloured monitoring. The service-friendly design allows for the replacement of key components like ear pads and cables, extending the product's lifespan. While optimised for studio work, their closed-back design and good noise attenuation also make them practical for focused listening in noisy environments or for personal enjoyment where external distractions need to be minimised.
