Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Alienware Pro Wireless is 5 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price. For 5 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
Alienware Pro Wireless
Its leatherette pads and moderate 310g weight aim for comfort during long sessions, while the 2.4GHz wireless option and USB-C charging add versatility for desk and on-the-go use. Sound quality is generally strong, but the microphone performance and a single SBC codec limit keep it from being a flawless all-rounder.
- Pro:Excellent battery life, especially with ANC off
- Pro:Comfortable leatherette ear pads for long wear
- Pro:Active noise cancellation and transparency mode included
- Con:Microphone quality is underwhelming for the price
- Con:Only SBC codec support limits high-res wireless audio
- Con:No multipoint connection for seamless device switching
Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro
The Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro is a compact, closed-back studio headphone designed for monitoring and recording, delivering a neutral and balanced sound with good detail. Its lightweight build and velour pads ensure comfort during extended sessions, making it a solid budget-friendly choice for creators. While it excels in studio settings, its tuning and fit are more specialized than universally appealing, and the coiled cable may limit mobility.
- Pro:Lightweight and comfortable for long sessions
- Pro:Detailed, balanced sound with strong separation
- Pro:Compact, closed-back design suits studio use
- Con:Coiled cable can feel restrictive
- Con:Sound not ideal for critical mixing
- Con:Studio-oriented fit may not suit everyone
