Beyerdynamic, one of the most respected names in both wireless and wired headphone design, is closing out 2025 with a long-overdue return to the DJ market. Following a year packed with new releases — including the DT 270 PRO studio headphones, AVENTHO 100 wireless model, and DT 7c Series IEMs — the German brand has announced the DJ 300 PRO X and DJ 300 PRO X CLUB. These mark Beyerdynamic’s first dedicated DJ headphones in nearly a decade, designed to bring their signature studio-grade precision to the booth.
What the DJ 300 PRO X & DJ 300 PRO X CLUB Bring to the Booth
To start, both models feature a clever 2-in-1 modular design that lets users switch between on-ear and over-ear configurations. The on-ear setup keeps things light and portable for quick monitoring, while the over-ear option delivers stronger isolation when things get loud. That flexibility means DJs can move effortlessly from the studio to the booth without swapping gear. Each pair can also be customized through Beyerdynamic’s online configurator, letting users design ear cups that fit their personal style instead of settling for cookie-cutter looks.
DJ 300 PRO X vs. PRO X CLUB: Same Features, Different Look
Beyond the 2-in-1 versatility, the DJ 300 PRO X and DJ 300 PRO X CLUB are identical where it counts — sound and performance. The difference lies in their visual personality. The DJ 300 PRO X keeps it clean and professional with a minimalist, studio-focused design that means business. The DJ 300 PRO X CLUB, on the other hand, leans into a bolder aesthetic with a silver fork, bright orange “CLUB” lettering, and a streetwear-inspired vibe — merging studio precision with stage-ready attitude.
“The DJ scene is as diverse as the music we play. That’s why our latest DJ headphones come in two versions – one minimal and one bold. We’re particularly proud of our unique 2-in-1 system, which makes the headphones a truly versatile tool. And for those who want to go one step further, our customizable ear cups offer the chance to make a personal statement,” said Kevin Nietsch, Product Manager at Beyerdynamic.
Both headphones are powered by a dynamic 45mm driver that delivers deep, controlled bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. The tuning is designed for accuracy and impact, keeping the sound clean and distortion-free even when pushed to higher volumes — exactly what DJs need when the booth gets loud.
Exceeding the typical size of most DJ headphones, the DJ 300 PRO X and PRO X CLUB are built for precision, delivering impressive detail and balance so every kick, hi-hat, and transition comes through with accuracy and punch. For real-world reliability, both models feature a detachable cable that locks into either earcup via a secure bayonet connector, minimizing handling noise and vibration.
The angled plug adds another layer of practicality, preventing cable strain and keeping DJs locked in on the mix—even during the most high-energy sets.
True to Beyerdynamic’s legacy of precision engineering, the DJ 300 PRO X lineup is built to last. Every key component — including the headband, ear pads, and cable — is fully replaceable, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainability and long-term usability. The foldable design adds convenience for travel, while the included carrying pouch keeps the headphones protected between gigs and ready for the next set.
Beyerdynamic Comparison
Here’s a comparison of Beyerdynamic’s 2025 releases: the DJ 300 PRO X and PRO X CLUB DJ headphones versus the DT 990 PRO X and DT 770 PRO X studio headphones. While all four deliver Beyerdynamic’s signature sound quality and build, the DJ models are tailored for booth and live performance with modular 2-in-1 designs and DJ-focused tuning, whereas the DT series targets studio work with reference-level accuracy and over-ear comfort for long sessions.

DJ Headphones vs. Studio Headphones: What’s the Difference?
DJ headphones are more than just an accessory – they’re a specialized tool, primarily designed for live use. While studio headphones are built for recording, mixing and mastering in controlled environments, DJ headphones face entirely different challenges: extreme volume without distortion, maximum isolation in noisy club settings, a robust build for continuous use, and features that simplify life between booth, festival and tour bag.
The Bottom Line
Beyerdynamic keeps rolling out new gear that hits the sweet spot for value and performance, and the DJ 300 PRO X and PRO X CLUB are no exception. They offer flexibility, durability, and DJ-focused tuning at a price that won’t break the bank, making them a smart choice for both newcomers and seasoned booth veterans.
At the same time, DJs still need accurate monitoring for planning mixes and prepping sets, and that’s where the DT 990 PRO X and DT 770 PRO X studio headphones shine. With Beyerdynamic’s pricing, investing in both sets is not just possible — it’s a no-brainer, giving DJs the best of both worlds: stage-ready performance and studio-accurate reference.

The DJ 300 PRO X and DJ 300 PRO X CLUB are available in the US for $249.99 through beyerdynamic and authorized dealers (coming soon to Amazon).
