Amazon.com Product Description
The tiny DTX 50 SW portable headphone system from the headphones specialist beyerdynamic gives you an intensive experience of music like never before. With a capsule impedance of 16 Ohm, the DTX 50 has been optimally adapted to the outputs of mobile appliances and is thus very well suited for use with current MP3 players. Small but powerful, the new DTX 50 from beyerdynamic is the perfect solution for your MP3 player. In contrast to standard in-ear phones the DTX 50 is placed deeply into the auditory canal. This direct linking of the acoustic transducers to the air in front of the tympanic membrane allows the DTX 50 to reproduce and transmit ultra-deep bass frequencies.
Because the converters of the DTX 50 close the auditory canal airtight via replaceable silicone sleeves, it almost perfectly isolates the disturbances penetrating from the outside. This also applies the other way round. Even at high volumes, nothing penetrates to the outside. Also, the high acoustic isolation also has a positive effect on the sound: as a result of the low static noise, even the finest of dynamic sound structures can be heard - with the DTX 50, you can hear the grass grow. Furthermore, the transducer diaphragms hardly have to move which results in low distortions providing an extraordinary clear and transparent sound.
With an extremely low weight and an insensitive design, the DTX 50 is also first choice for sportsmen who like music: be it running, mountain biking or spinning in the fitness studio - the converter systems of the DTX 50 cannot be shaken off and always remain in position, even in the most abrupt of head movements. Due to its closed design, outside distractions are totally minimized and the enjoyment of music will not disturb others. The acoustical isolation results in a perfect sound with smooth mids and well-defined highs. With the DTX 50 you can enter a world of the ultimate personal audio experience.
The 16 ohm impedance allows connecting the DTX 50 to the output of MP3 players. The DTX 50 is available in white or black. Delivery includes three pairs of silicon ear-pieces. All beyerdynamic headphones include a 2 year parts and labor warranty serviceable in the U.S.A.

Summary: There are better choices, but not a bad headphone. 2008-09-18
Comment: This is my fifth different in-ear monitor headphone. My first were the Sony EX71, then Etymotic ER-6, then Sennheiser CX-300, then the Q-Jays and the latest DTX 50. I can say without hesitation that these are the worst IEM out of all that I have tried for several reasons.
1. Fit. The silicon sleeves on the DTX 50 are thinner than the other headphones listed above. The plastic casing actually is wider than the silicon part about 3/8ths of an inch in. The casing will hit your inner ear when installed correctly. It hurts my ears after an hour and caused my ear to hurt the next day with moderate use.
2. Sound - The first thing you will notice is the boomy bass. It's not clean, and the midbase is exaggerated. It overpowers the midrange, which comes off as understated. The highs are nice, but not great. The imaging is on par, maybe slightly better than the Sony 71s, but nothing special. Overall, you have a sound quality is no better than the Sony 71s, and definitely below the Sennheiser, Etymotic and Q-Jays.
3. Price - $70?!? These headphones should cost $30. At that price, I would still not recommend them, but they would be worth considering if you listen to hip-hop/rap, as the high bass output might be desirable.
Bottom line - No matter your budget or music preference, there is another pair of headphones out there that are better for you. Most would be best served by the Sennheiser CX-300 as the sound to price ratio is exceptional.
UPDATE 10/02/08 - My primary pair of q-Jays needed to go in for repair, so i have been using these for a few weeks now and have grown to appreciate them. First, i didnt think that IEMs needed break in time, but the bass seems to have calmed down a bit. Either that or its not bothering me as much. It's still not clean sounding, but its not as bad as i made it out to be. Second, I was overly critical of the highs. They are still not on the same level as the q-Jays, but they arent bad... and are definately better than the Sony 71s. Possibly better than the CX-300s... i haven't found them to be harsh at all after some break in time. Overall, i would give these 3 stars if i could change the review, but for some reason, Amazon isn't letting me.

Summary: Great headphones!! 2008-08-30
Comment: I bought these for half the list price. Even then, it is still very worth the $100 IMO. The bass is rather neutral, just a little deep, fast, and lean. It can be fun with genres like electronica. But where this headphone really shines is with things like jazz, where the soundstage(depth and breadth of sound) gives plenty rooms to all the instruments, and the excellent mids(for music that is) leads to great vocals. The highs are rather dry, but still detailed and extended, responsive, and bright.
Also, this headphone has EXCELLENT comfort. They are very light to hold and just as light on your head. But build quality is kind of on the light side. Not bad, per se, but just a little wobbly when holding the headphone. However, they do not give the impression that the DTX will break easily.
Over all, a great headphone!
(As a reference, this is a list of headphones I've owned, or had the chance to listen to for a few days: Grado SR 80, Beyerdynamic DT 770/80, DT 880, Equation Audio RP-22x, Sennheiser HD 555 and HD 280 pro. Hope that gives perspective to my review of the DTX's!)

Summary: Absolutely Incredible 2008-04-26
Comment: These are the most incredible headphones I have owned (two pairs of Shures, Phillips, Sony, Skullcandy). Incredible sound at low volumes - classical and punk alike sounded awesome. The only drawback - very hard to fit. The "speaker" is quite large and the rubber earpieces are very thin - makes for a hard and somewhat uncomfortable fit, BUT these headphones ROCK.
