Beyerdynamic DTX 910 Review
The Beyerdynamic DTX 910 is a mid-size inexpensive hifi headphone built essentially from plastic material. Becoming by far the manufacturer’s most economical over-ear and open-back headphones (at $99), so how exactly does it stack up to other sorts of headphones? Beyerdynamic DTX 910 Review Beyerdynamic DTX 910 Review These headphones be packed with lavish volumes of cardboard. There’s a stereo audio ac adapter in the pack, if you happen to need a 1/4” connection. Besides the headphones, that’s all folks. Comfort isn’t terrible with these headphones. I was anticipating poorer, but one time I modified for my massive head, I stumbled onto these rather pleasurable to wear. There’s some thick foam on the earcups and headband, which goes along way in the Comfort Department. The grow characteristic might be a part of matter, nonetheless, because the all-plastic layout feels inadequate and also doesn’t engender a whole lot of assurance. That is exacerbated by the deficiency of metal in the extenders, and also while I’d like to rely upon Beyerdynamic’s commitment to quality, this headphone feels just south of solid. Low End The low wind aspect isn’t awful by any means, with drums or other instruments of mass percussion really displaying certain character for on one occasion. Males vocals don’t wander off in a soup of low-frequency noise, either, so that’s good. If you’re looking for a punchy bass in the low end, these may not be the headphones you seek. While there’s some detail in there – and it’s fairly good detail – it just lacks that real “oomph” we see on other headphones. Mids The midrange on the DTX 910 is decent. Not something to write home about, but still good. For a $99 headphone, it’s about what I expect. There’s a little more room in there, and some better clarity and separation thanks to the open-back design, but the driver may have problems resolving all the midrange detail in certain tracks. High End I’m a huge fan of the highs on the DTX 910. There isn’t a ton of detail in there, but the detail that is there remains well-controlled. There’s no piercing or screeching on the highest highs, but instead there’s a slightly relaxed feel to the whole high end. Soundstage Soundstage is actually quite wonderful on these headphones. For most music – from Vivaldi to Blink 182 to the Black Eyed Peas – there’s a real sense of space and placement in the track. If this headphone sucks (or is just so-so) at everything else, it totally kicks ass when it comes to soundstage. Budget Hifi If this headphone has a thing it is all about, it’s hifi performance on a budget. I think Beyerdynamic goes so far as to market it as such, claiming “hifi sound at a lower price” or something along those lines. And when you take the sum total of this headphone – a fairly decent frequency range with a low impedance and good detail – you pretty much get exactly that.

The Beyerdynamic DTX 910
The Beyerdynamic DTX 910 is a mid-size inexpensive hifi headphone constructed essentially from plastic material. Becoming probably the manufacturer’s lowest priced over-ear and open-back headphones (at $99), so how exactly does it stack up to a few other headphones? Beyerdynamic DTX 910 Review Beyerdynamic DTX 910 Review These headphones come around boxed with copious portions of cardboard. There’s a stereo audio ac adapter in the package, if you happen to have to have a 1/4” connection. Aside from the headphones, that’s all folks. Ease and comfort isn’t bad with these headphones. I was expecting more severe, but once I adjusted for my massive head, I discovered them very pleasurable to wear. There’s some plentiful cushioning on the earcups and headband, which can be along way in the Comfort Department. The establish superiority may be an area of concern, nonetheless, because the all-plastic design feels inadequate and also doesn’t engender a whole lot of boldness. This is exacerbated by the insufficient metal in the extenders, and while I’d be happy to trust in Beyerdynamic’s determination to quality, this headphone feels just simply south of solid. Low End The low conclusion fine detail isn’t horrible by any means, with drums or other instruments of mass percussion indeed documenting various personality for on one occasion. Males vocals don’t wander off in a soup of low-frequency noise, either, so that’s good. If you’re looking for a punchy bass in the low end, these may not be the headphones you seek.

And when you take the sum total of this headphone – a fairly decent frequency range with a low impedance and good detail – you pretty much get exactly that. Overall Impressions If it weren’t for the build I would be sold. But I also tend to abuse my headphones, and maybe that’s the real reason why I don’t want to recommend this headphone. I can already see myself getting besotted one night and accidentally stepping on it, or getting the cable wrapped around something and ripping the headphone from my head, only to see it crash into the floor. But fragility (or suspected fragility) aside, there’s a lot going for these babies. Low-cost, low-weight, with a sound that truly gets close to high fidelity? Oh yes. Recommendations If you’re seeking that luxury headphone, obviously you don’t want this. And if you’re looking for something to replace those supercool neon Beats by Dre that just broke, these aren’t for you, either. But let’s say you’re on a budget – maybe you’re a college student or a working stiff, or maybe your headphone budget has been severely reduced by the old ball-and-chain. And let’s say you care about music – you’re into high fidelity recordings or hearing every nuance in a track, or you’re trying to discover that exact moment where Billy Corgan’s voice goes right from nasal to downright whiny. These headphones, for the price, do a great job. Are there better options out there? Sure, but you’re going to pay out the nose for ’em, and ain’t nobody got time for that.
