SKU: BD1002202
Description
A genuine Studio Headphone – at an entry-level price
The DT 270 PRO opens the door to the world of professional studio headphones. Although at an entry level price, it retains the typical characteristics of the other PRO series: authentic studio sound, exceptional wearing comfort, and a USB-C adaptor. A scope of delivery rarely seen at this price. A clear example of this is the replaceable velour ear pads, comfortable and unique to beyerdynamic’s PRO range.
Compared with other PRO models, the DT 270 PRO features a more compact and adaptable design – ideal for flexible production conditions and changing locations. The cable can be connected on either side, and thanks to the supplied USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter, the headphones are also compatible with mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets. With an impedance of 45 ohms and a low weight of just 194 grams, they are truly portable companions. A high-quality carrying case is also included.
PRO-level sound and quality of materials
Whether used for music production, podcast recording, or instrument practice, the DT 270 PRO delivers a balanced, detailed studio-level sound profile. Developed according to the latest acoustic standards and optimised and refined through user feedback, its sound signature combines clear but unobtrusive bass, natural mids, and detailed yet pleasantly smooth highs.
True to our high standards, the DT 270 PRO is also built to last. The spring steel construction inside the padded headband ensures a secure yet comfortable fit. Flexible and lightweight, it provides the comfort needed for long, focused sessions. The robust housing is designed to withstand frequent and intensive use.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
ANY QUESTIONS?
Here are a few quick answers to frequent questions.
How does the DT 270 PRO differ from the old DT 240 PRO?
The DT 270 PRO is the consistent further development of beyerdynamic’s compact, over-ear concept. Both models are aimed at users with professional demands who require a flexible headphone in a space-saving format. The DT 240 PRO is no longer in the range.
Key differences at a glance:
•Sound: The DT 270 PRO offers significantly improved and more balanced sound tuning
•Comfort: A major difference. The DT 270 PRO features larger velour ear pads, low weight (194 g), and a padded headband, providing noticeably higher comfort – especially for long sessions.
•Design: Modernised, foldable, robust housing – inspired by the current PRO series design.
•Connection: Detachable coiled cable with 3.5 mm jack, connectable on either side. USB-C adapter included.
The DT 270 PRO delivers clear advantages in comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability – while maintaining proven professional sound quality.
How does the DT 270 PRO differ from the DT 770 PRO?
The DT 270 PRO is more compact, lighter, and designed for mobile or flexible use – for example, for music production in the home studio, podcast recordings on the move, or use in educational institutions such as music schools.
It is also a great choice for instrumentalists who want to practise at home using headphones. With its balanced sound, low weight of just 194 grams, comfortable velour ear pads, and padded headband, it offers excellent comfort in a compact design. The detachable coiled cable with 3.5 mm jack, along with the included USB-C adapter, ensures versatile connectivity and flexibility for everyday use.
The DT 770 PRO, on the other hand, is a proven studio headphone for stationary use. Its robust build, strong passive isolation, and available impedance variants (32, 80, or 250 ohms) make it the ideal choice for continuous use in professional or advanced home studios. Sound-wise, it focuses on highly detailed reproduction – perfect for professional monitoring and recording. Its build quality, achieved through manual production in Germany, is reference-setting, and the availability of spare parts is extensive – a clear advantage for professional users who need long-term serviceability.In short:
The DT 270 PRO is the mobile, flexible solution for creative workflows in changing environments. The DT 770 PRO remains the reference for stationary studio work with high demands on sound fidelity and durability.
How does the DT 270 PRO differ from the DT 700 PRO X?
The DT 270 PRO is aimed at semi-professional home-studio music producers, content creators (including podcasters), and ambitious musicians. It is compact, lightweight and versatile. With its balanced sound, high comfort and practical details such as the USB-C adapter, the DT 270 PRO is suitable for a wide range of modern applications – both mobile and stationary.
The DT 700 PRO X is intended for users producing music at an even higher level – in well-equipped home studios or project-based setups with professional standards. It delivers a highly detailed, dynamic sound thanks to the STELLAR.45 driver system (48 ohms), combined with excellent comfort and robust build quality. Many professional users rely on the DT 700 PRO X as a versatile studio tool for recording, monitoring, and mixing.
In short: The DT 270 PRO is the flexible choice for ambitious creatives who value quality and everyday practicality. The DT 700 PRO X offers enhanced sonic precision and features for optimal results in stationary setups.
What parts of the DT 270 PRO can be replaced?
The DT 270 PRO features a modular design and is built for long-lasting durability in everyday use. The most important wear parts can be replaced when needed:
Ear pads: Can be quickly and easily replaced without tools – ideal for frequent use or hygienic requirements.
Cable: The coiled cable is detachable and can be replaced with an identical spare cable.
Headband pad: Can be replaced – first, four small screws on the end pieces must be loosened using a Phillips screwdriver. Then the old pad can be removed and the new one attached.
Spare parts for the DT 270 PRO will soon be available in our online store.
