Beyerdynamic MMX1

Advantages: excellent sound, comfort and durability
Disadvantages: none at all it even blocks outside noise

...Wanting a pair of in ear headphones in a bud like shape to help remove background noise when working out in the gym and jogging along main roads the Beyerdynamic DTX 50 were recommended to me by a friend who has used them without problems for some time. Having had the opportunity to experience the sound quality prior to purchase I had no problems parting with £47 for the wired headphones that have now for over 12 months kept my tunes pumped into my head and the outside world out. The buds sit easily in the ear and the rubber coating is really soft and acts as a barrier between the ear and the plastic sections that are really well made and rock solid which means the ultimate in comfort even when pounding away on the treadmill. The rubber also acts like a form of insulation from outside noise so even when drum and bass if banging away... Read review

Advantages: Build,sound quality,comfort
Disadvantages: none

...I've owned these headphones for a number of years now. I chose them because being in or around the music industry i knew that beyerdynamic was the industry standard. The BBC use mostly DT100's for example. I paid i think £150 which to me was a lot of money for a set of headphones back then.

On getting them home i played some pink floyd through them using a fairly high end home set up. The sound response was remarkable. There were things coming through from the music i had never even heard before. This being because of the very large frequency response. It was like discovering my cd collection again. I have also used them on hi-fi of all... Read review

Advantages: Unbelievably clean and powerful Bass
Disadvantages: Old fashioned looks may disuade some buyers

...I have never been more pleased with a purchase. I absolutely love these headphones. The reason is becuase I have been looking for a pair that ticks all the boxes for so long that I actually thought that the perfect pair did not exist. I have tried too many to name here. I believe that a pair of headphones must: 1. be comfortable for long periods 2. have great bass response 3. be a sealed design so they do not upset those nearby 4. be good enough for studio quality sound 5. music production quality sound 6. build quality to last for at least 5 years of consistant use 7. Lowish impedence for use with portable players. A tough ask but these fit every single critera. Wonderful to wear becuase of the velour pads that are just so comfortable. These never get distracting due to the pads, soft paded leatehr head band and fairly... Read review
