Beyerdynamic’s “Pro” series of headphones has been a go-to for musicians and audio professionals for years. And, more recently, the line has garnered immense mainstream popularity because of the great sound and distinct velour ear cushions … as well as being worn by some incredibly famous streamers (like Ninja, for example).

Naturally, the German hi-fi manufacturer has quite a few different headphones in its Pro series — both open-back and closed-back — and, depending on the model, they can range from between roughly $200 to $700.

But now it has introduced a more affordable option, the DT 270 Pro, which boasts the brand’s signature style and promises true studio-quality sound.

Beyerdynamic’s new DT 270 Pro is a pair of wired closed-back, over-ear headphones. They look very similar to its other Pro series headphones, but Beyerdynamic claims they are lighter (at 194 grams), making them more comfortable to wear for longer listening sessions.

Beyerdynamic claims they’re designed to bring “professional performance to creators working in compact spaces or on the go.”

The DT 270 Pro is rated as having a 45-ohm impedance, making the headphones compatible with a wide array of devices. You can connect them directly to a laptop or smartphone — no external headphone amplifier required.

The included cable has a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, but Beyerdynamic includes adapters for 6.35mm and USB-C, so you can use them with whichever source or device right out of the box.

Obviously, the standout feature of the DT 270 Pro is that it comes decked out with the brand’s signature velour ear pads, which are replaceable, in case you wear them down.

The headphones come with a detachable coiled cable — measuring roughly 4-feet (coiled) or 10-feet (extended, not coiled) — that can be attached to either earcup depending on your preference.

Price and availability

The Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro headphones cost $160, making them the second most affordable option in the Pro series (behind the DT 240 Pro ($129), which lacks the velour ear cushions and may actually be discontinued.)

They are available now from the company’s website and other authorized retailers.
