beyerdynamic DT 100 Studio Headset - 400 Ohm - Black

Product Information

Evanescence – Bring me to life (01:18-01:35), a bit less peaky on the DT100 and tonality is warmer. I think you’re better off getting professional headphones earlier rather than later in your home recording career, just so you get a better idea of what good sounds like, and you don’t get too comfortable with cheap being the standard you expect and become comfortable with. Everything sounded pretty well-balanced, and I could definitely hear everything that was coming through. Maybe the sound was just more refined than I was used to. It didn’t sound as bright and brash as cheaper headphones. Deuce – America (03:03-03:16), not shouty or sharp at all, but instrument separation and imaging needs to be better as it gets a bit chaotic. The DT100's bass is more presented in the audio spectrum on accentuated manner, well-precised, has a decent punchiness and has an agile transients.

Fit: Perfect for me, it doesn’t move at all once it is in my ears. I have no problems with the fit at all. It is definitely more than good enough for physical activities. And so on with the listening to my glorious recording through them. Honestly, they didn’t sound at all what I expected them to sound like. Not “bad.” Just different. I guess things weren’t as pronounced as I thought they would be or something?

Timbre is much better on the DT100.

Anyway, I had been aware of the weightiness of the DT-100s in my hands, so I was perhaps a little apprehensive about putting that weight on my head – would it bother me? And honestly, it didn’t. It’s too comfortable. It’s like putting your head inside a pillow. A really weird pillow. Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), Cello tonality, texture and timbre are very good but details could be better. Violin timbre is very good but tonality (needs to be brighter), texture, details and treble extension needs to be better.

Specifications

Hiroyuki Sawano – Scapegoat (00:57-01:17), cleaner and more detailed on the FH3 but more natural on the DT100 due to the tonality and timbre. Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), similar quantity but a lot better texture on the DT100 while speed and tightness are a bit better on the DT100. Cleaner and more detailed on the DT100, bloated on the T2. When I first got into home recording, I had a pair of Sennheiser studio headphones. I can’t remember the exact model, but it was the lower end of the range, but I was pleased as punch with them, because they were from a proper brand name like Sennheiser.
