The DT250-250 is very sensitive from the headphone out, more so than my K500.


hahaha yes. The k500 is quite hard to drive.

The dt250-250 is just about the same as the hd600 so far as sensitivity is concerned. There is a small difference but I forgot which one was slightly louder at the same level setting on the volume knob.

I've had the DT250-250 for a while now, my impressions on them are similar to Don's, with a few key differences. For all their strengths, I don't think they do deep bass at all. The bass seems to reach the mid bass, and then roll off gradually.

I agree. We just said it in a different way. It reaches down to 20hz with a good enough clarity but the volume at that frequency is already pretty low vs the 100hz area. So its a gradual rolloff but theres a signal there unlike some open cans where the same frequency sweep tests will only give some little popping noises and farts at that frequency :)

I could live with the DT250-250 as my only headphone.

Agreed. That was exactly my main demand when deciding on the DT250-250. This headphone is a worthy replacement for the HD250 II Linears...

And to this one X2, X3, X4 hahaha. I told you so guys :)

By the way, Beyer is weird with these cans in that they promised Tyll that he would get a review sample ages ago and it never happened. Maybe they don't want someone popular enough like Tyll saying that these demolish the T1s and the other teslas. They would be screwing themselves  :spank:

By listening alone, they sound like they would also have great CSD measurements. They are pretty quiet and dry... none of the seashell echo effect like open akgs making them have that grayish tone. They are more like senns without the extra full mids that create the illusion of too much width. I think of them as somewhat of an hd600 sound minus some of the senn butter(not too much) then add what a typical crossfeed filter (think meier) does to the "tonality". I said tonality because I don't want to give the impression that they have built in xfeed LOL

Ahh speak of the devil :D Hope you got a pair with matched drivers. Too many including my first pair had mismatched drivers with the left side having more bass than the  right side. I hear it is a cable thing and that something is loose inside the headband hmm.

Don, for faster Rock and Metal I prefer open headphones.

The DT250 is good, just not vintage AKG good...

Hm. No mine was missmatched as well. I'd have to look to see which channel had more bass.

Great thing though is that even for just a regular consumer like me that lives outside the US, they still give great service. I got a replacement without too much of a hassle for proof of purchase, etc... I just contacted them via facebook and everything went smooth from then on. They even paid for all the shipping.

And like my first post says... the second pair was fine  :)p1

Despite the 250 ohm specification the seems to be easier to drive than my K181 from my old iRiver H10. My iRiver H10 has a fairly powerful headphone out. I am surprised by the efficiency of the DT250-250.

On sound: the DT250 is most definitely a proper studio headphone. Miles Davis' 1997 remaster of "Kind of Blue" not only sounds smooth and dynamic but also the noise in the intro is very much audible...
