Is the Earfun Wave Pro X worth the upgrade from the Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro to the Earfun Wave Pro X buys you 16.3 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in value (9.0 to 9.6) and sound (7.8 to 8.3). On paper it adds active noise cancelling and multipoint pairing. Worth checking: weight goes 194 g to 259 g and driver size goes 42 mm to 40 mm. The two sit at effectively the same price. If your current pair is worn out or the gains line up with how you listen, this one is worth the money.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
