Verdict

The Beyerdynamic DTX 710 is an around-ear, open-back dynamic headphone featuring a 32-ohm impedance and a wide frequency response of 16 Hz to 23,000 Hz. Weighing approximately 260g, it is equipped with 40mm Mylar dynamic drivers and a 97 dB sound pressure level, making it highly efficient and easy to drive from various portable devices. Main characteristics include a 3-meter single-sided cable, 90-degree swivel mechanisms for single-ear monitoring, and soft velvet microfiber ear cushions. Pros include a spacious 3D-like soundstage ideal for music and gaming, high levels of wearing comfort for long indoor sessions, and strong value for money as an entry-level studio-grade option. On the downside, the plastic headband adjustment can feel somewhat brittle, and certain tracks may reveal minor graininess or sibilance in the upper frequencies.

What customers like about Beyerdynamic DTX 710?

Excellent value for money, often described as performing above its entry-level price point
Wide and expansive soundstage, noted as being 'huge' and 3D-like, making them suitable for gaming and movies
High level of comfort due to soft velvet/microfiber ear cushions and a padded headband
Lightweight design (approx. 260g) that allows for long listening sessions without excessive clamping force
Clean and crystal-clear mid-range performance, particularly for acoustic and vocal-centric tracks
Lends itself well to heavy equalisation (EQ), allowing users to significantly adjust frequencies without distortion

What customers dislike about Beyerdynamic DTX 710?

Plastic expansion part for head size adjustment feels brittle and potentially prone to breaking
Extremely long, non-detachable 3-metre cable can be cumbersome for portable or outdoor use
The heavy, single-sided cable can pull on the left side of the headset, affecting the fit for some head shapes
Bass can lack detail in certain complex tracks, described by some as potentially 'muddy' or lacking 'fun' impact compared to higher-end models
Open-back design results in significant sound leakage, making them unsuitable for quiet environments as others nearby can easily hear the audio
Stock ergonomics and pad fit may be underwhelming for some, sometimes requiring aftermarket pad modifications for optimal comfort
