Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Beyerdynamic DT 1350

  • Exceptional build quality with nearly all-metal construction for high durability
  • Superb noise isolation, often cited as the best for on-ear headphones
  • Deep, tightly controlled bass extension that reaches sub-bass frequencies with authority
  • High level of clarity and detail across the spectrum, making them suitable for professional monitoring
  • Portable design features including ear cups that fold flat and a high-quality carrying case
  • Split headband design allows for a more secure and customizable fit

What customers don't like about Beyerdynamic DT 1350

  • High clamping force can lead to ear discomfort during long listening sessions
  • Extremely sensitive to positioning; a poor seal can result in thin or 'honky' sound quality
  • The cable is fixed (non-detachable) and can exhibit noticeable microphonic cable noise
  • The adjustment mechanism on the headband can pull hair
  • May require external amplification to perform at its best, as it can sound muddled directly from some mobile devices
  • Narrow soundstage compared to full-sized open-back headphones

Verdict

The Beyerdynamic DT 1350 is a professional-grade, closed-back supra-aural (on-ear) headphone featuring high-efficiency Tesla technology drivers that deliver a balanced and analytical sound signature across a broad frequency response of 5 Hz to 30,000 Hz. Built for durability with a robust metal construction and a unique split headband for a secure fit, it offers an impedance of 80 ohms, a high maximum sound pressure level of 129 dB, and exceptional passive noise attenuation of approximately 23 dBA, making it ideal for DJs and sound engineers. Its primary strengths include its remarkably tight, deep bass, detailed treble without sibilance, and a portable fold-flat design with 90° swivelling ear cups. However, users frequently cite a high clamping force that can lead to discomfort during long sessions, a fixed non-detachable cable that limits easy replacement, and a sound signature that some find overly 'dry' or difficult to seal properly on the ear for consistent low-end performance.
