beyerdynamic DT-150

Dit is een fantastische koptelefoon, die zijn geld meer dan waard is.
Het geluid klopt gewoon, de balans van hoog tot laag is in evenwicht.
Van jazz tot klassiek, kun je uren naar luisteren, waarbij de plaatsing van instrumenten en stemmen natuurlijk overkomen.
Het comfort is ook zeer goed, terwijl het ontwerp terug gaat na de zestiger jaren, wat mij als vintage liefhebber ook nog aanspreekt.
Niet te vergeten dat dit een gesloten systeem is, wat deze hoofdtelefoon qua geluidsbeleving nog bijzonderder maakt.
Ik zou zeggen, als je op zoek bent…sla deze niet over.

My choice of this earphones has strange reason - I wear eyeglasses and all earphones invariably pressed my earlobes against the temples of eyeglasses, which is quite painful in minutes, not to say hours in front of monitor.
The idea was to buy earphones with earpads so large that earlobes all inside won't be pressed by them. (Yes, I could broke away the temples of my eyeglasses and tie the glasses with stringline onto my ears, but it's impractical). DT-150 looked very promising, yet from the pictures you'll never be sure. So imagine, I asked Thomann staff for internal measures of earpads, he, he! They were very polite and without calling me a fool they sent me requested info so I was able to compare it with my measurements and order the earphones.
Well, the earpads ARE large, my ears are comfortably inside. Their pressure is distributed to larger contact area so it gives comfort feeling. Although the earpads press on the temples of eyeglass aside of earlobes, it's hardly to feel.

With my problem solved I've found some other features of this earphones as a bonus. The sound of DT-150 is very good, they block-out noise from outside so I can listen at lower level thus spare my hearing. I can hear the individual ambience of various instruments from live recording or soft-synths more distinctly so I can make whole sound spectrum more balanced now, despite the fact that enclosed earpads seem to pronounce bass frequencies. Detachable (and replacable) cable and earpads are nice feature for wear and damage. In various sockets jack of the earphones fits tightly, no waggling and crackle, just clean sound. With adapter the same.
CONS - sweating, off course. It develops quite quickly, sooner than expected. But with some regular breaks in listening it's manageable.
