AdamK Headphone review - Beyerdynamic DJ 300 Pro X Review The Beyerdynamic DJ 300 Pro X immediately stands out for its comfort and lightweight design. As someone who strongly prefers an over-ear fit, this model hits the mark. The foam ear pads are an excellent size, offering good coverage without feeling bulky, and they sit comfortably for extended sessions. One minor drawback is the construction of the foam pad side wall. There is slightly too much loose material, which tends to fold when removing the pads. From a usability and perception standpoint, this makes the fit feel a little saggy at times. Personally, I think this could be improved by fixing the material more securely to the foam pad itself, which would elevate the overall finish. That said, they do close off external sound extremely well when over the ear. That said, the headband and framing are genuinely excellent. Comfort is high, the weight distribution is well judged, and the rail detailing feels precise and premium. It is a design that inspires confidence and feels built for professional use. I have rotated between Sennheiser HD 25, AIAIAI TMA-2, and JBL Live 650 for studio DJing and radio studio work. After spending time with the DJ 300 Pro X, I can confidently say that these have taken prime position over all of them for DJ use. The clarity and definition in the mix are unmistakably pro-level, and I was genuinely surprised by the depth and separation achieved across the spectrum. The low-end response is not as full as some competitors', but the mid-range is excellent and highly musical. The top end is bright and detailed without becoming fatiguing, which makes beatmatching and long sessions far more enjoyable. Cable design is another area where Beyerdynamic has clearly paid attention. The coil spacing is perfectly judged, allowing freedom of movement without constantly tugging at the jack. The straight sections reduce excess weight and prevent the cable from bouncing around while performing. It is a small detail, but one that makes a real difference in practice. Overall, the Beyerdynamic DJ 300 Pro X delivers outstanding comfort, build quality, and professional-grade sound. With a small refinement to the ear pad construction, it would be close to flawless. As it stands, it is an easy recommendation for DJs working in studio or broadcast environments and has quickly become my go-to pair. a...
