Beyerdynamic DT235 Reviews
The beyerdynamic DT 235 is a small and portable sealed headphone that delivers decent and balanced sound, as well as good noise isolation. It is an update from the previous DT 231, and comes in a simple but elegant matte black finish.
The DT235 has a good punchy bass response and detailed mids and highs. The resistance is low enough to be paired with most portable media players, so for something retailed at $79.00, these are extremely worth it, especially for the beginner iPod-carrying headfile.
The DT 235 has a simple but roadworthy design. Durable plastic headbands that are both light and tough, and fabric-padded earcups provide comfort with an easy-to-use spring-loaded adjustable strap. It has a single-sided cord 2.5 meters long with a 3.5 mm jack, and comes with a 1/4″ adapter. It comes with beyerdynamic’s standard 2-year warranty.
Reviews
“Bottom end is tight and well defined. Slight graininess in the extreme highs but definitely tolerable. Inner detail, depth and soundstage are all very good but a little thin in the mid range. Frequency response appears linear with the exception of the above mentioned mid range. One of the best I’ve heard at this price point.” — Oasiswriter; Washington, DC
“They sound great – nice strong bass, detailed highs without being too bright and rich mids. They are very light and easy-fitting, and pretty much disappear on your head. I am not an audiophile, but I can tell you that these make music come alive, and immerse you in your recordings. They are also good for portable use, but I have to warn you that the cord is fairly long, which cuts into their utility on that score just a little bit. However, I strongly recommend these headphones in the under $100 category. In fact, I think these is my favorite in that category, and they are well under $100. You can’t go wrong. Try them!” — HeadRoom fan; Washington, DC
“At this price point, these may well be my favorite headphones. Great sound, good comfort. I’m not sure why they don’t get more attention than they do. I use them all the time, even if I have many other pairs to choose from. The only potential drawback is that they have a rather long cord, which does not bother me and is not a deal-breaker, but I feel like I have to say something in the nature of constructive criticism. Of course, if you are using them from your computer, that would be a plus. They have made a real beyerdynamic fan out of me.” Jose Kaufman; San Francisco
