Advantages: High quality sound at an affordable price Disadvantages: Open design not for everyone
I bought these headphones a couple of years ago for dj-ing and normal listening to music. Beyer Dynamics is a German company specializing in recording microphones and headphones for audio professionals.
The DT131’s are an open headphone design and have the following technical characteristics:
Transducer Type – Dynamic
Acoustic Principle – Open
Earpiece Type – Supraural
Impedence – 40 Ohms
Cord Length – 2 Metres
They are of a dark blue / grey colour, which is pleasing to the eye, and have a modern style design. They are lightweight and fit perfectly to your head due to an automatic head size adjustment system. I have worn them for long periods without any feeling of discomfort, and they tend to stay put on your head also.

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, loud, good background noise reduction, long cable, comfortable Disadvantages: Ugly, a little on the expensive side
The BeyerdynamicDT100 headphones have for a long time been the industry standard headphones in sound engineering, so the DT150s, a new improved model, have much to live up to.

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. I tried them on in the shop and instantly knew they were the headphones for me as they were so comfortable you didnt really know you had them on which is rare for a fully enclosed headphone.
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 ...
