The Beyerdynamic Custom Studio Dynamic Headphones is a closed dynamic headphone for studio applications. A special feature of this headphone is the changeable sound which can be selected in four stages from a linear or even analytical sound to a rich, vibrant bass via the “Custom Studio Sound Slider”. The four sound patterns are specifically tuned for studio applications and meet the high expectations of professional users. Soft, replaceable velour ear pads in combination with Beyerdynamic’s best headband available ensure a pleasant comfort of wearing even in long-lasting studio sessions. The single-sided detachable coiled cable is provided with a gold-plated jack plug and perfectly complements the overall package making the ‘Custom Studio’ a professional tool with maximum flexibility.
The main features of the Beyerdynamic Custom Studio Dynamic Headphones include:
The Beyerdynamic Custom Studio are just excelent. They are superb!
The sound of this headphones are very crisp and legit, so (when youre producing music) you hear what you make, nothing more, nothing less. However this heaphones are very special, because they have an excelent "extra": bass ajustment. In each ear pad you have a notch that you can move. It has four different levels, and each one has a bass corresponding to that level. That being said, you can have a sound that has no bass, you can have two mid-term bass sounds, and you can have a super bassy sound. And this feature really works!
As the Custom One Pro, and the Custom Street, this Custom Studio are, well, customizable. You can change the side pads for different styles, you can change the head stripe, the cable and the ear pads. The only thing i didnt like much is the cable that goes under the head stripe, its not removable, so you cannot replace it, and it seems fragil. However, the head stripe is metal, and the rest of the is made of a very high-quality plastic. That means that they are flexible, durable and light. This Studio version comes with velour pads, and they are very confortable, however your ears cannot breathe very well, but that will only happen if you use the headphones many (and i mean many) hours! Overhall, they are very confortable, so you can use them for hours and hours, and very durable, so you can use them for years and years.
I was a little bit desapointed with the unboxing experience, because the headphone were just in a cardboard box (with nice designs and graphics), with the cable wrapped in a plastic bag, and the "case" of the headphones just wrapped up in the box. You do get a coiled cabble and a 6.5mm adapter, which is great, but for the price they cost, i was hoping that the unboxing was so much better. And the headphone case...... Its not a case, its just a bag with the brand name. It almost seems that they didnt care or thought in details. As you dont get any premium extras, like the case, bag, and overall unboxing experience, i think it would be more fair to ask for 20 to 50 euros/dollars less that they ask for. And thats why i only gave 4 stars in price/performance.
Now the conclusion: Despite that the little details were overlooked by Beyerdynamic, we/i have to admitt: this headphones are just excellent! Ok, you dont get an unboxing experince and extras that great, but i also think that, that experience, only matter for some people. The headphones it self are one of the best in the market for the price and, with the 80Ohm impedance there is almost no noise in the signal: perfect for studio! The customization of the headphone are a great feature, and the bass adjustment is the best innovation ive ever seen in an headphone. You have almost all the replacement parts available online and a great waranty, so you can have you headphones fully functional for years to come. I seriously recommend this headphones for amateurs, pros, and everyone who needs a superb legit sound.
I couldn't believe my ears when I tried these on for the first time.
First of all...It is super duper comfortable! My first few hours of burning time flew by without discomfort at all. The materials used for the cups are incredible.
Soundwise, I could hear frequencies that I never heard before (actually more like felt them).
I listened to some songs I mixed with my previous headphones and monitors and with these, I could hear stuff that I didn't know existed with my other devices.
I believe you can't beat this at this price range. It is not a completely cheap product but I believe the quality does it justice.
I still have to get used to the bass slider but it is definitely a handy bonus!
BIG THUMBS UP!
