Beyerdynamic DT 252 80 Ohm — Single-Ear Studio Monitoring Headphone

The Beyerdynamic DT 252 80 Ohm is a closed, single-ear monitoring headphone designed for studio, broadcast, and theatre professionals who need to keep one ear open to the room. Built as the single-sided sibling of the DT 250, it delivers the same balanced, precise sound in a lighter, mission-critical form factor. This model suits engineers, boom operators, and ENG/EFP crews who require reliable monitoring without losing contact with their surroundings.

Why the DT 252 Stands Out

What separates this headphone from typical stereo studio designs is the dedicated single-ear closed cup combined with a screw-locking cable connector — a feature rarely seen outside broadcast gear. The PA6 nylon and spring-steel internal frame, plus fully replaceable ear pads and headband pad, make it serviceable for years of daily use rather than a disposable product.

Technical Specifications — Sound, Comfort, and Connectivity

The 80 Ohm nominal impedance pairs with most professional audio interfaces, mixers, and camera return feeds without needing a dedicated headphone amplifier. A closed circumaural cup and about 16 dBA of ambient noise insulation keep the listening ear focused, while the 170 g weight and 4.5 N average ear pressure keep the headphone comfortable across long sessions.

• Transducer: Dynamic, neodymium magnet — balanced, precise playback with high reproduction accuracy.
• Nominal Impedance: 80 ohms — pairs with pro audio gear, mixers, and camera returns.
• Frequency Response: 10 – 30,000 Hz — wide-range monitoring from sub-bass to air.
• Sound Pressure Level: 100 dB SPL (1 mW) — sufficient headroom for live broadcast and studio cues.
• Cable: 3 m coiled, single-sided, screw-locking connector with golden combi 6.35 mm / 3.5 mm plug — secure connection that won't pull out mid-take.

Who Should Choose the DT 252

The DT 252 is the right choice for broadcast engineers, camera and boom operators, podcast producers, and theatre sound staff who need closed-back isolation on one ear while staying in verbal contact with their team. It suits anyone working in ENG/EFP environments, live event production, or post-production suites where talkback and ambient awareness matter as much as accurate monitoring. Home studio users tracking vocals while communicating with a performer will also find it useful.
