Strength:
Really good low frequency and rich overall sound. Feels good wearing them.
Weakness:
The cord goes on the left side, it took time to get use to it and it disturbs when playing guitar (maybe not left handed players tho). The plug on the headphone end is a bit too long. My first experience of DT250 was when our drummer visited and he had these with him. He got them for free, lucky SOB. Anyway, i tried them and fell i love immediately because of the way the feel and the good sound quality. They were little expencive for my budget but i bought them anyway and never regret. I am a half professional sound engineer and i use them alot listening to the over all sound of the mixings. These are really good to hear if there is too much low frequency, like my old recordins had. They can also tolerate a lot of volume, more than my ears can, hehe.

Strength:
Portable, Hi-Fi Sound quality, nice tangle free cord, great bass.
Weakness:
none that I can think of, although they aren't the most stylish things you'll ever wear on your head if that matters. Great sound quality........it would be difficult to ask for much more from a pair of headphones. The isolation is nice in noisy environments and they are very comfortable on the ears. Well worth the money in my opinion. The cord is convenient since it only connects to one side of the headphones and is curled up so it stretches as needed. The bass these headphones are capable of producing really adds a lot to the sound while enhancing the sense of isolation you get in noisy environments. ***** Similar Products Used: Sony Streetstyles (haha) |

Strength:
incredible sound....good bass...clean & crisp highs....blocks outside sound well...well built...comfortable earpads (velvet-like)...modular springy cord...
Weakness:
maybe a little pressure on the head, but thats what makes them more comfortable, and block the outside noise...the pressure does not get worse as you wear them longer, the earpads work well at keeping ears from fatiguing... I got these phones from headroom, they have very good reviews of tons of headphones from several top brands. I never owned the 'muff' type of headphones before, and must say that these really out-do anything ive ever heard before. Not only do they block out a ton (16db) of external noise, they also are incredibly quiet for people around you when you have them on. The cord is a nice length, perfect for both portable cd players and audio equipment..its coiled like a telephone handset cord. Also, very important to me was that they be able to be loud off of a portable cd player. A lot of pro level 'muff' headphones can't run off a portable cd player cause they need a lot of power, but the dt-250-80 that I got from headroom runs louder than my sony earbuds at the same volume level on my RioVolt, go figure....anyway, these headphones are awesome...you can't go wrong!

Strength:
INDESTRUCTABLE, FLAT FREQUENCY RESPONSE, GOLD CONNECTIONS, MODULAR DESIGN, COOL AESTHETICS.
Weakness:
They can be difficlut to locate in a retail store, it only seems that about one in four music retailers have a relationship with Beyerdynamic. Beyerdynamic DT250 :: is the worlds premier headphone, wheather you produce programs for CNN or spin underground dance music at steamy basement parties. Their modular design means that they can be the LAST pair of cans you will ever need to buy; everything from the input plug to the headband and velvet-like ear cups can be replaced. DT250s have a nearly perfect flat response from 20-20, are surprisingly light weight and low profile. Their closed cup, circum aural design is great for long projects that require isolation and comfort. Think of everything that you want headphones to be, then slip on a pair of DT250's and realize how little you really expected. Similar Products Used: Sony(MDR series), Koss, Audio Technica |

Strength:
Sound Retention, and supression of external sound, wide frequency range operation, large volume range without distortion
Weakness:
If they have any weaknesses, they are their industrial apearance and they can make your ears warm. White noise from the source is not surpressed. Of all the head phones that I tried the DT250s did what wanted best. Which was give a level of performance equal or better than the HD445 I already owned and retain the sound within them so as not annoy those who share my office. None of the other closed backs I tried came anywhere near the dt25os in this respect. Many are good at keeping a fair amount of noise out but keep it in as well as the DT250s. The bonus of all this is that as well as making my work mates happy, I think I have benefited too. The sound quality is just great, and like any good new purchase they are shedding new light on some of my old favorites. They have extra frequency range over my HD445 which is percievable and can handle a great deal of bass should you be that way inclined. The only real problems I can find with them is that they can get a little warm but they are very comfortable, the cable is a little heavy if it is hanging from your head. On my fathers stereo equipment the white noise was more previlent than it had been with either his or my senns, thankfully neither my personnel CD player or home setup suffer nearly as badly and the white noise is not a problem.
