Reviewers’ own scores: Tom’s Guide 3.5/5
Early verdict: only a few in-depth reviews are out so far. We update this page as more reviews are published.
The verdict
This is an early verdict based on one in-depth review, from Tom’s Guide, which gave 3.5 out of 5. It found clear detail on vocals and acoustic music and good passive isolation, but bass can crowd out the highs and the on-ear fit presses on the ears. They suit people who want wired headphones for studio monitoring, editing or office use, though more reviews are needed before we can be confident.
Best for: Wired-headphone users who want clear vocals and speech for editing, video work or a noisy office.
Skip it if: You want active noise cancelling, wireless use, or headphones that stay comfortable for hours without breaks.

What reviewers liked
- Clear, detailed vocals and stripped-back acoustic tracks (Tom’s Guide)
- Clear mid-range instruments in balanced songs
- Speech is clear, which suits audiobooks and video content
- Passive isolation is better than the DT 270 Pro and works well in offices
- Adjustable headband, swivel earcups and a lockable cable that fits either side
What they didn’t
- Bass can overwhelm cymbals and vocal detail in heavily layered songs
- On-ear design presses on the ears and needs breaks during long sessions
- No active noise cancelling and no wireless connection
- Only one outlet’s review so far, so the findings are thinly supported
In detail
Sound quality: 8.1/10
Tom’s Guide tested the sound and found a mixed picture. Bass is powerful and driving, but in heavily layered songs it can overwhelm high frequencies such as cymbals and vocal details. With vocal-heavy and stripped-back acoustic tracks that have little bass, the reviewer heard excellent detail and clarity. Mid-range instruments also came across clearly in songs with a balanced frequency spread. Speech was clear with precise diction, which Tom’s Guide says suits audiobooks and video content. It also described the headphones as designed for studio monitoring and video editing rather than accuracy in music production. This is one outlet’s view, so treat it as early.
Noise cancelling: 8.1/10
These have no active noise cancelling, and Tom’s Guide says so plainly. Instead they rely on the closed-back design and padded ear cushions, and the reviewer found this passive isolation effective in office environments. Tom’s Guide also noted that isolation is noticeably better than on the DT 270 Pro. If you need to block out constant low rumble on transport or flights, the reviews we read don’t cover that, so we can’t say how they would do. Only one outlet has commented on this so far.
Comfort & fit: 7.8/10
Comfort is where Tom’s Guide had reservations. The on-ear design puts significant pressure on the ears, and the reviewer found periodic breaks necessary during extended listening. On the positive side, the faux leather finish on the earcups was judged more comfortable over long periods than the plush material on the DT 270 Pro. Tom’s Guide also points to an adjustable headband and swivel earcups, which allow a customised fit, though that point was not tested directly. Tom’s Guide also described the look as sleek and professional, suitable for most environments. Evidence comes from one outlet only.
App & connectivity: 7.3/10
These are passive wired headphones, so there is no app and no wireless connection. Tom’s Guide notes a 3.5mm jack cable that can attach to either earcup and lock securely. A 1/4 inch adaptor is included for compatibility with other equipment, though the reviewer did not test this. Tom’s Guide also lists a drawstring protective bag for storage. Battery life and call quality were not covered in the reviews we read, and they matter little for a wired, passive design. The evidence here is thin, from a single outlet.
Value: too little evidence to score
There is too little evidence to judge value. Tom’s Guide gave the price as $149 in the US, which it says is $10 cheaper than the DT 270 Pro. It did not make a clear value judgement beyond that, and no other outlet we read covered price. Tom’s Guide’s overall score of 3.5 out of 5 suggests a solid but not outstanding verdict. Check current prices in your own market and wait for more reviews if you are undecided.
