4.0 out of 5 stars Decent travelling cans, October 16, 2006

These earphones are interesting.

Pro: They are sealed, circumaural cans, and the 80-ohm version (the DT 250-80) is easily driven by portable electronics.

Con: The cans themselves are not all that portable, as they're full-sized and don't fold.

Pro: The cord is detachable.

Con: The plug connecting it to the phones is HUGE (about 2 inches long), and the company (or anyone else, for that matter) does not make any cables for this headset except for the stock cable, making a detachable cable pretty pointless.

You get the idea. Sonically, these things are very good for sealed cans, and I carry them regularly with my MP3 player for travel. Although the external noise blocking is not as good as that provided by earplug-type headphones (such as Etymotic 4 series, another of my favorites) it is quite good, and the phones are useable on airplanes. If you want a full-sized set of headphones that can run off a portable, I would recommend these.

Nice cans for the money.

I use them eight hours a day at work at the computer. They are well sealed. So I don't bother the neighbors in other cubes.

I don't really notice them. I can't tell you how high the highs or how low the bass -- it's just the music -- almost all classical. I took them home and tried them with the head amp and, of course, they sound better, but they are fine on their own. I might look at Headroom's bit-head amplifier since that can run off the USB.

Since the time of writing this review I have purchased the Bit-Head. Well worth the money. Really opens up the sound of these headphones.

Excellent quality of manufacturing, outstanding sounding. I use these headphones with my Creative X-Fi ElitePro sound card, and this is the best sound I've ever heard.
