beyerdynamic has introduced the DT 270 PRO, a new entry point into its legendary PRO Studio lineup — built for creators who demand professional accuracy without the premium price tag. Designed in Germany, these closed-back headphones deliver the precise, balanced sound engineers, podcasters, and musicians expect, while offering the comfort and versatility needed for long sessions at home, in the studio, or on the go.
In a market where real studio performance and value rarely meet below $199, the DT 270 PRO aims to close that gap — joining the excellent beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X ($199), which we recently reviewed and praised for its impressive balance of comfort, build quality, and accuracy. Together, they strengthen beyerdynamic’s position as one of the few brands delivering true professional sound for creators who don’t want to overspend.
DT 270 PRO Delivers Professional Comfort, Durability, and Flexibility
The DT 270 PRO is built for long sessions, combining light weight, comfort, and reliability in a practical studio design. At just 194 grams, it features soft velour ear pads—rare at this price—and a padded, spring-steel reinforced headband that maintains comfort and fit during extended use. The closed-back, dynamic design provides solid isolation for recording or mixing, while the 45-ohm impedance ensures consistent performance across laptops, tablets, smartphones, and audio interfaces.
A detachable coiled cable can connect to either ear cup for flexible setups, and the included USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter supports use with modern mobile devices. Durable high-grade plastic housing keeps weight low without compromising strength, making the DT 270 PRO suitable for everyday work in home studios, classrooms, or production environments.
“The DT 270 PRO brings beyerdynamic’s studio expertise into a more compact and accessible format. Designed with the same standards of comfort, durability, and sound quality that our PRO series is known for, it allows creators at any level to work confidently and reliably, whether at home, in the studio, or on the move,” said Andreas Rapp, CEO of beyerdynamic.
