The DT 100 is a closed-back over-ear monitor headphone designed for studio and ENG/EFP applications, offering excellent ambient noise isolation and a robust, service-friendly design. It features a single-sided detachable cable and is available in 16 or 400 ohm impedance versions.
The Beyerdynamic DT 150 is a wired, closed-back studio headphone built for professional monitoring, featuring a 38 mm dynamic driver and a high 250-ohm impedance. It delivers a strong midrange but has a non-neutral frequency response with pronounced bass and uneven treble, making it better suited for monitoring tasks than critical listening. Its robust build and good passive isolation are offset by a demanding impedance that requires a capable amplifier.
