Style:
The KH makes with its simple appearance a rather attractive impression on me.
One is the current trend not followed in beyerdynamic and has designed the KH not too flashy or even colorful, what I feel to be positive.
Thanks to its pliability, it is possible to save space and safely stow the KH in the carrying bag.
Processing:
The DTX 501 p is mostly made of plastic, which makes it very easy, lets him but also look a bit cheap. One can also notice a creaking of the plastic.
The temple is covered with a soft synthetic material and lightly padded on the contact surface. Inside pervades the plastic-coated bracket a 11mm wide and 1mm thick steel band for the contact pressure of the headphones on your ears, responsible.
Adjustable the construction is of course, to the side of the bracket to the steel strip a scale is attached. So you can bracket the 10 levels by a maximum of ~ extend 33mm.
The KH are built according supra aural principle, are thus compact and therefore ideal for mobile use. The ear pad is soft and with the same material as the strap cases. The attenuation of ambient noise
is impeccable, only with circumaural KH and In Ears I achieved far better results.
Comfort:
The KH is comfortable to wear, the padding feels smooth and the contact pressure is not too strong. After continuous operation for 1 hour, I feel, however, always a feeling of pressure, additionally occurs a heat accumulation. The KH sits reasonably safe on my head, but he slipped under movement happy times. Here I would have liked a double strap system, such as the T 50 p. This sits much more secure, but also plays in a different price range.
Sound:
For now, I want to announce that I prefer a linear and detailed sound and no bass or treble emphasized strong head u. Earphones.
Sonically could me the DTX 501 p unconvincing properly.
What the manufacturer says with outstanding bass response, I do not know. A bass heavy headphones should not be expected.
The average frequency spectrum, I am satisfied.
The heights I sometimes feel as too pronounced.
Depending on the style of music I correct weaknesses using equalizer and reach the DTX 501 p a good result.
The dynamic and detailed sound from the product features, I can confirm. However, details are clearly only at high volume - too high for my taste.
Conclusion:
In this price range, the DTX 501 p is quite recommendable. People who play with the idea at the AKG K 450 should buy, 501 p pull the DTX definitely into consideration.
Who's In Ears over not averse should look again at the market because for the price it is in Ears, making the sound more.
For people who are willing to spend more money, is the T 50 p is the better choice for mobile use.
One thing I would like to say: The KH was produced in China, although beyerdynamic own information to audio electronics made in Germany is and that I would have expected even in this price range!
