Typical price, checked Sep 2026. Beyerdynamic's US store and Amazon both listed $199.99 on the check date; it regularly sells for $150-170, so $160 is used as typical.
Why people like it
- Built like a tank; the standard answer when durability is the priority
- Good bass and isolation for a closed headphone
- One owner replaced the pads once in three years and it is still going
- Wide-sounding for a closed design
What owners complain about
- Beyerdynamic's treble peak can be harsh or fatiguing for some
- Non-detachable cable on the classic version
- Clamp is tight for larger heads
Where opinions split: People split on the bright treble: some love the detail, some find it painful without EQ.
