My Little Tussle With A Headphone Company’s Marketing Department

The reasons why I stopped reviewing Beyerdynamic gear for a while

UPDATE 10/29/2018: Beyerdynamic has reached out and kindly apologized for the incident below, for which I am very grateful. They’ve also said told me that their marketing is taking a different direction. That’s a good thing!

Since I wrote this article, and prior to receiving the apology, I buried my feelings on this matter and reviewed both the DT880 and the DT240. I liked them both quite a bit.

Beyerdynamic continues to make headphones I think are worthy of your consideration, in spite of the events recounted below.

The original article follows.

I think Beyerdyamic makes some of the best headphones in the world. The DT770, 990, and Custom One Pro are all great headphones for the price, and I’ve given them all positive reviews in the past.
