Is the Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro worth the upgrade from the Earfun Wave Pro X?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro actually scores 16.3 points below the Earfun Wave Pro X, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on value (9.6 to 9.0) and sound (8.3 to 7.8). On paper: weight 259 g to 194 g and driver size 40 mm to 42 mm. Worth checking: active noise cancelling goes Yes to No and multipoint pairing goes Yes to No. The two sit at effectively the same price. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.

About this verdict
Direction matters here: this page answers "Wave Pro X to DT 270 Pro". The other direction is a separate question with a different answer. Scores blend published review verdicts across over-ear and shift as new reviews land, so a marginal call today may not be one next quarter.
