Dave Taylor here and I'm looking at
0:13
audio gear this time it's these these
0:16
are the beyerdynamic DT 240 Pro and they
0:20
are studio monitors what is a studio
0:23
monitor it means it's an earphone or
0:26
headphone that really does a great job
0:28
of isolating you so that you don't hear
0:31
any noise around you it's not noise
0:33
reduction it's not an active noise
0:35
cancellation system it just has really
0:38
good earpieces so when I put these on I
0:40
can't hear anything in fact even my
0:43
voice sounds really weird now you're
0:45
looking at this and you're saying of
0:46
these Bluetooth the answer is they're
0:47
not that fire dynamics just focused on
0:50
the audio reproduction quality so these
0:53
are like old-school headphones with an
0:54
actual wire and here's one of the first
0:57
things that I'll say that's really cool
0:58
is that depending on what year you want
1:01
to have the wire hanging down from you
1:03
can plug it in on either side of the
1:05
headphones how cool is that I've never
1:07
seen another company do that so we'll
1:09
plug it in on the right side and there
1:11
is a little R and a little L to tell me
1:14
which is which I put it on and I'm
1:17
listening and boy it sounds really good
1:20
but it also really does a great job of
1:23
noise isolation now look at this cable
1:26
this is a one and a quarter meter cable
1:28
and you'll notice that there's a coiled
1:30
section and there's a straight section
1:32
and that turns out to work really well
1:34
because it gives you the ability to have
1:36
it stretch out if you need to but it
1:39
also works really well if you are like
1:41
me working on audio content while you're
1:45
in a space like an office or a cafe or
1:49
maybe the library or something where you
1:51
don't really have a lot of space to
1:53
spread out all your gear now maybe I
1:56
should be hooking these up to some
1:58
$5,000 audio system with a huge board
2:01
where I'm mixing things but let's be
2:04
honest the vast majority of people
2:05
producing music or audio content or
2:08
podcasts are using their computer or
2:11
they're using this
2:12
just using their smartphone so by your
2:15
dynamics really hit on something here
2:17
that these sound really well and they're
2:19
surprisingly affordable and they work
2:22
really great if you're just using your
2:24
phone or whatever other device you're
2:26
using I've used these with my computer
2:29
editing this very video and it worked
2:31
great now it not only is this and it's
2:36
adjustable and they're nice soft ear
2:38
cups and it's very comfortable so if I
2:41
you know leave these on I could listen
2:43
for hours they're really very
2:45
comfortable which isn't always the case
2:47
one thing that's nice with my cabeza
2:50
Grande is that it's relatively loose
2:54
it's not a super tight seal which is
2:57
nice because with noise isolation some
2:59
companies do that by just having to feel
3:01
like you have a go app on your head not
3:03
so much fun now let me tell you these
3:06
are 33 millimeter dynamic drivers with a
3:09
frequency response they say a five to
3:11
thirty five thousand Hertz that is way
3:14
more than I can hear but I will trust
3:16
them on those measurements I will tell
3:18
you it sounds really nice there's a
3:21
beautiful soundstage there's a big
3:23
presence if I listen to an orchestra
3:26
I can almost pick out where all the
3:28
instruments are in the orchestra pit so
3:31
it has that depth to it real richness
3:33
the highs aren't too bright so it's a
3:36
very listenable sound and there's some
3:39
solid thumping bass if that's your thing
3:41
and you can tell because it has a
3:42
hundred and nineteen decibel sensitivity
3:45
that's a lot these get really loud
3:47
louder than you should be listening to
3:49
so also comes with a soft bag for
3:54
transport and travel which I really like
3:56
I don't like these hard cases that some
3:58
companies ship I'm never gonna use a
4:01
hard case but a soft case where I can
4:03
throw in just the pieces I need that's a
4:06
win now only thing left to say oh and
4:08
also comes with a quarter inch adapter
4:10
if you have a really old-school stereo
4:12
and you want to plug in one of those big
4:14
connectors you can do that too but the
4:17
only other thing I want to say other
4:19
than that it cool that gold ends and
4:21
everything so I want to talk about the
4:24
price but before we get there one

4:32
reviews awesome thank you now these bear
4:36
dynamic DT 240 Pro compact over ear
4:39
studio monitors will run you surprised
4:43
$99 at amazon.com why surprised because
4:47
these sound like multi-hundred dollar
4:49
headphones these do not sound like under
4:52
$100 headphones and these will compare
4:54
very favorable to like your favorite
4:57
beats and they're way less expensive and
5:00
frankly they're not exactly apples to
5:02
apples because these are more studio
5:04
monitors so the isolation is a little
5:06
different and stuff but boy these are
5:08
really nice sounding headphones and I
5:11
really like the price point because it
5:13
makes it very accessible to people so
5:15
this is Dave Taylor I'm gonna go back to
