Beyerdynamic · Closed-back · Late 1960s–today
Beyerdynamic dates the DT 100 to 1965, and it's still in the catalog today, which makes it one of the longest-running studio headphones there is. Its maker calls it an industry standard for monitoring and live events and pitches it at broadcasting, film and recording studios. The point of a DT 100 is that it never has to be thrown away. Every part, from the pads and headband pad to the cable and plug, can be swapped without special tools, and Beyerdynamic still sells most of them. The cable plugs into one cup, and the 1971 catalog already offered four versions of it. The DT 108 and DT 109 talkback headsets are DT 100s with a boom mic.
Before you plug in
There's no well-known weak spot, since every part is replaceable. Beyerdynamic's internal headband cable and cup plug do go out of stock, so make sure the pair you buy is complete.
New to used headphones? How to check a used pair covers pads, cables, channel dropouts and fakes, and impedance and your amp explains what will drive it.
Buying guide
We'd buy the 400-ohm DT 100 titled brand new and unused at $229 delivered, more than $110 under the other new pairs here. There are at least 12 for sale, nearly all in the UK, and most ask $120–360 delivered, with new pairs at $229–343 setting the top and used ones at about $120–238. The 400-ohm version needs a headphone amp or a mixing desk's output, while the 16-ohm one plays from a phone, so ask which you're getting, and ask for the label on the pair titled "100 ohm version", since the catalog lists no such version. Beyerdynamic still sells every part from the pads to the cable, so worn pads are fine, but make sure the detachable cable comes with it and ask for a note that both sides stay on with the cable moved at the cup. Skip the two pairs titled ex Noel Gallagher of Oasis at $1,406 and $2,570 unless the provenance is what you're buying.
