Professional monitoring headphones often trade portability for isolation. The new beyerdynamic DT 275 PRO compresses both into a 6.9-ounce closed-back, on-ear design intended for field recording, video production, live sound, and DJ cueing.

Its dynamic transducers cover a frequency range of 5 Hz to 24 kHz, while the 45-ohm impedance allows the headphones to work across portable recorders, audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and other common sources. Passive attenuation is rated at 22 dBA, helping expose speech, levels, and unwanted noise in loud environments without active noise cancellation. The earcups swivel inward for more compact storage, and soft, sweat-resistant leatherette pads create the acoustic seal.

The most practical detail is the cable system. Its 4.9-foot cable combines coiled and straight sections, locks into place with a bayonet connection, and can attach to either earcup for cleaner routing around camera rigs or audio bags. The cable, ear pads, and headband pad are individually replaceable, extending the service life of a tool likely to accumulate more wear than typical professional-grade headphones.

The DT 275 PRO is available now for $149.99 from beyerdynamic and authorized pro-audio retailers. Each pair includes the locking cable, a screw-on 0.25-inch adapter, a drawstring carrying bag, and a quick-start guide.
