beyerdynamic DT 100 Studio Headset - 400 Ohm - Black

Product Information

Anyway, I had been aware of the weightiness of the DT-100s in my hands, so I was perhaps a little apprehensive about putting that weight on my head – would it bother me? And honestly, it didn’t. It’s too comfortable. It’s like putting your head inside a pillow. A really weird pillow. Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), Cello tonality, timbre, texture and details are better on the DT100. Violin tonality is better on the T180 Pro but texture, details, timbre are better on the DT100. Similar treble extension.

Out of the box, and they definitely felt like a whole different level of headphones compared to my last ones – just from holding them in my hand, not even having gotten as far as plugging it in yet! Beyerdynamic DT100's are studio headphones of renown, and have been used for mixing/mastering countless recordings over the years. Perfect For ENG/EFP Applications And Live Moderations The highs are not sibilant and are very transparent, reaching a shining experience. OH yeah, its sparkly! One of the best neutral sounding IEM in the market! The highs are not shouty nor are they too sharp. Overall, they provide a well-defined clarity towards the highsImaging surprising performs well as I can pinpoint on each placement of instruments and vocals with a decent sense of spacing and gaps on each other but my only slight whining on this one that layering aspect needs an improvement as it give off a slight flaw on an already good 3D-like holographic spatial chamber. Overall: The DT100 is outclassing the T2 on pretty much all aspects. Timbre, tonality and technicalities are much better on the DT100. If your budget allows it, just get the DT100. The DT100's bass is more presented in the audio spectrum on accentuated manner, well-precised, has a decent punchiness and has an agile transients. Ultra-robust and reliable construction ensures the DT 100s perform perfectly throughout years of use Mids: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), Instrument tonality are very similar but a bit better on the DT100. Vocals are a bit more forward and has better tonality on the DT200 and is cleaner.

Undoubtedly, this is one of the strengths of this IEM on how mids are very appealing to its listeners, its naturalness, with some added warmth, transparent and accurate tonal colour. Conclusion: The DT100 is a great iem if you just want to enjoy listening to music with as much isolation as possible. While its technicalities aren’t really impressive, it makes up for it with that bass and timbre which are the best I have heard up to this point from a BA only iem. IF this was a DD (or more than 1 BA) it would have gotten a 4/5 instead as the technicalities are definitely below average for something at this price, but I believe this truly deserves a 4.5/5 based on its driver type/count as it is doing a better job at the factors (bass and timbre) that multi-BA iems usually struggles a lot with even at 3 times the price. Treble: Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day (03:24-03:42), a bit more relaxing and non-fatiguing on the DT100. Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), speed, tightness and texture are much better on the FH3. Quantity is similar. Overall: The T180 Pro is very different from the DT100. While the DT100 is a warm bass-boosted neutral iem that sounds closer to a DD iem rather than BA. The T180 Pro is a n-shaped iem with more vocal focused sound. Although they both have a single BA, the DT100 is more technical and higher resolution.

Specifications

Once again, I would like to thank Elaine Wong for this providing this review unit, I truly appreciate on her generosity towards me and other reviewers. Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), similar speed and tightness but still cleaner on the DT100.
