The Numbers to Remember: 70, 71, 72, 73 (and $499)
The lineup includes four models: DT 70 IE, DT 71 IE, DT 72 IE, and DT 73 IE. Priced at $499.99 per pair, they’re premium options designed for professional use.
What makes them special? They all feature Beyerdynamic’s TESLA.11 dynamic driver system, delivering incredibly low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of just 0.02%. For context, anything below 0.1% is considered exceptional. Beyer claims these are “one of the loudest, lowest-distortion systems available,” ensuring every note and nuance comes through perfectly.
To keep things comfortable and secure, each set includes five sizes of silicone ear tips and three pairs of Comply memory foam tips ideal for blocking out distractions (like your drummer’s bad jokes or the Amazon delivery guy outside).
Which IEM Is for You?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what each IEM brings to the table:
- DT 70 IE: Perfect for audiophiles and live mixers, this set offers precise, linear tuning based on the Fletcher-Munson curve, making it ideal for critical listening. A gold-plated MMCX connector and a noise-minimizing cable ensure longevity and performance.
- DT 71 IE: Designed for drummers and bassists, these IEMs enhance low frequencies while preserving clarity in cymbals and percussion. Slightly reduced mids keep vocals from overpowering your mix perfect for locking in that groove.
- DT 72 IE & DT 73 IE: Details on these two models remain under wraps, but given Beyerdynamic’s track record, expect similarly specialized tuning for guitarists and vocalists, ensuring every role gets the attention it deserves.
When and Where?
Beyerdynamic’s new IEMs will hit the market in Q2 2025 for $499.99 per pair approximately £409 or AU$799 (though non-US prices are still estimates).
Are They Worth It?
With tailored acoustic tuning for every band member, these IEMs aim to be more than just headphones they’re tools for perfecting your sound. Whether you’re a bassist looking for deeper lows or a mixer needing precision, Beyerdynamic’s quartet might just be the ultimate upgrade for 2025.
