beyerdynamic DT 72 IE - Professional In-Ear Monitor Headphones for Guitarists and Vocalists

The beyerdynamic DT 72 IE are professional In-Ear monitor headphones designed specifically for the needs of guitarists and vocalists. The design is based on hundreds of MRI ear impressions, ensuring a perfect fit and wearing comfort even during long studio sessions or live performances. Thanks to advanced TESLA.11 transducers and German manufacturing precision, these headphones offer unparalleled sound quality in a compact and portable design. Each pair is carefully handcrafted at the company's headquarters in Heilbronn, highlighting the high build quality and attention to the finest details. This is an indispensable tool for every professional musician's toolkit, providing precise sound reproduction in any environment.

Product Features

Advanced TESLA.11 transducers ensure exceptional sound clarity with extremely low distortion levels. The sound profile has been optimized specifically for guitarists and vocalists, featuring a natural bass response, detailed highs, and a slightly boosted upper midrange. Sound isolation of up to -39 dB effectively blocks out ambient noise, which is crucial on crowded concert stages. IP68 certification guarantees complete protection against dust and water resistance up to a depth of 1.5 m for 30 minutes. Kevlar-reinforced cable with gold-plated MMCX connectors ensures durability and a stable connection. Maximum sound pressure level of up to 137 dB and 16 Ohm impedance make them universal for any device.

Professional Sound Quality in Any Condition

The dynamic TESLA.11 transducer system in the beyerdynamic DT 72 IE headphones is the result of collaboration between experienced sound engineers and professional musicians who work on stage and in the studio every day. TESLA.11 technology is characterized by some of the lowest distortions in the industry—just 0.02% at 500 Hz—which translates to a cleaner, more detailed monitoring of every element of the mix. The extended frequency response from 5 Hz to 40,000 Hz covers the full range of sound, meaning guitarists won't miss even the most delicate details, and vocalists can hear every layer of their voice. A slight boost in the upper midrange adds presence and clarity, which is particularly important when monitoring vocals and guitar in the mix. This ensures that every element of the musical part is in the right place in the soundstage, allowing for precise monitoring and sound adjustment. The DT 72 IE performs excellently both during recording and live performances, offering consistent sound characteristics in diverse environments. Four new models in the In-Ear line were developed in collaboration with professional musicians and sound engineers, ensuring that every user can find the ideal model that meets their specific needs and sound preferences.
