Just got the DT 150 Today!
First Impressions:
- The Box is so small and rather cheap! It seems to me a package when you buy hundreds of them to get discount, very basic.
- One pads has a problem, basically they put it wrong covering the small cable and now it's loose not sealing perfectly behind the cup. I don't know if the sound is affected... Anyway it's pretty annoying to send them back for this. (see the pic behind)
- Comfort was bad right out the box. The headband was putting all the pressure on one point. I solved stretching it, very good. The pads are very wide, true circumaural, but they are too stiff and they get warm very quickly. They are not too heavy overall, good for long listening.
- Construction is very good, all modular, high quality plastics.
- Sound: They are impressive for the soundstage, I believe the pads have a strong merit on this. Sound is different from the hd600, the DT150 have a more flat midrange and more high-treble extension than the hd600, also more PRAT. The hd600 is slower with more richer and forward midrange with a smoother treble.
- Bass: Not bass shy for sure! I need a proper burn-in the evaluate better.
Overall the sound quality is great and they perform far better the price I paid (125,00€ in Italy)
I am just a bit upset for the pad problem and the simple box!
Nevermind,
The thing that matter is... Now I am ON AIR!
