Great sounding headphone set, but...,

Pros: great sound for an on-the-ear headphone! They broke in quite nicely in what little time I used them. Bases can sound a little "tin-canny" at first. The headphones themselves fit just fine on my ears, they don't press too much, and aren't too loose on my head, which makes them great to have on for prolonged periods of time. I could hear the music, and if needed, I could drop down the volume a tad, and hear the ambient atmosphere around me as well. They do dampen sounds around you, but not quite as much as noise cancelling headphones.
Cons: the cable on headphones seems a bit flimsy, but it carries the signal just fine. Within the first MONTH of me just having the headphones on my head, not closing/opening them constantly, the little plastic arm that holds one of the individual earphones broke. I didn't force the headphones to close; I just kept them in the open position on my desk, that's all. My head isn't big, they don't feel too tight, so I don't think my...Read more

Great headphones - too fragile for daily use,

On Aug. 11th 2011, I purchased/ordered a new set of beyerdynamic DTX 300p portable stereo headphones.
Hands down, they are the best headphones I've ever used. Great full, rich sound and not taxing on the eardrums at all.
Only problem, as I was unfolding them just now, one of the ear pieces broke of at the point of attachment.
I've always been very gentle with them, esp. considering I couldn't afford to replace $51.92 headphones very often.
In short, they are broken and I've had them just over two months.
They do come with a manufacturer's two year warranty, if that's any consolation.
Hoping I can upgrade to a pair of comparable non-folding headphones from beyerdynamic.
Proceed with caution on this particular model.
Three stars: five for sound reproduction, minus two for fragile design.
*note of irony. My friend that recommended these, his exact same set also broke (after I'd already purchased mine).

I went through four of the DTX-300p headphones - with the first three the earpiece broke off on one side and there was no way to tape it up. I got the first one replaced, tossed two of them, and the fourth I use (very carefully!) for computer Skype calls. Even if they didn't break, the bass response varies quite a bit between samples, from almost no bass to very little bass.
Used with an iPod Touch, the overall sound is only slightly better than Apple iPod earbuds. I used the "Rock" EQ setting on the iPod to improve the sound - the same setting I found that worked best with the earbuds.
I'm not familiar with headphones in this price range, other than the DTX-300p, but I would recommend that anyone looking at this stretch their budget a little and get a Sennheiser PX-200-II instead, since the design is about the same but the sound and durability of the Sennheiser is much better.
