Summary of the review

Third-party reviews

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

What customers like about Beyerdynamic DTX 300 P

  • Extremely lightweight and portable design with a collapsible stainless steel headband
  • Highly comfortable for long-term use due to soft ear cushions and low clamping force
  • Excellent midrange clarity and focus, making it ideal for vocal-heavy tracks
  • Impressive maximum volume output without significant audible distortion
  • Good value for an entry-level on-ear headphone compared to pricier rivals
  • Includes a convenient canvas travel pouch and features a tangle-resistant cable

What customers don't like about Beyerdynamic DTX 300 P

  • Weak bass response and significant roll-off at the lowest frequencies
  • Treble rolls off quickly above 10kHz, lacking extreme high-end detail and sparkle
  • Poor passive noise isolation makes them unsuitable for loud environments like planes
  • Stainless steel headband design can occasionally catch hair during adjustment
  • Muted overall frequency response requires higher volume settings for a full sound
  • Lack of horizontal cup rotation may cause fit issues for users with larger heads

Verdict

The Beyerdynamic DTX 300 P is a lightweight, supra-ural (on-ear) headphone featuring a foldable stainless steel headband and a closed-back design for passive noise isolation. It operates with a 32-ohm impedance and a frequency response of 25 Hz to 18,000 Hz, delivering a balanced sound signature with a notable 104 dB sensitivity. Key pros include its highly portable 'triple-fold' mechanism, extreme comfort at just 66 grams, and compatibility with mobile devices via its 1.2m cable and 3.5mm angled plug. However, potential cons include a non-detachable cable that feels somewhat thin and a soundstage that is relatively narrow compared to open-back alternatives.
