Beyerdynamic DJ 300 PRO X and PRO X CLUB: modular, high-SPL headphones built for the booth
Beyerdynamic has introduced two new professional DJ headphones designed to thrive in loud club environments: the DJ 300 PRO X and the DJ 300 PRO X CLUB. Both models are identical in build and performance; the difference is cosmetic. The PRO X arrives in all-black, while the PRO X CLUB adds a splash of style with black cups and silver hangers.
Engineered for the demands of live DJing, these closed-back headphones prioritize low distortion at extreme volumes. Across a wide 5 Hz to 35 kHz frequency range, the 45 mm drivers are tuned to keep mixes clean and punchy without harshness when you push levels. Maximum SPL reaches 122 dB with the included on-ear pads or 117 dB with the over-ear pads, giving you flexibility to choose your preferred balance of isolation, comfort, and loudness.
Modularity is a core feature. The package includes both on-ear and over-ear earpads that you can swap depending on your set or venue. Sweat-resistant leatherette cushions and a padded headband support long sessions, while the overall weight of 315 g keeps them manageable for extended wear. For travel, the earcups rotate to help the headphones pack down more compactly.
Connectivity and durability are equally practical. A detachable 1.5 m coiled cable terminates in a 3.5 mm plug, and a 6.35 mm adapter is included for mixers and interfaces. With a 48-ohm impedance, they play nicely with DJ controllers, audio interfaces, and club mixers. Every high-wear component is user-replaceable, including ear pads, ear caps, headband pads, and cables—ideal for touring and heavy use.
Personalization gets attention too. Each earcup features a Design Cover Cap that can be customized, letting you add branding or graphics to match your aesthetic on stage.
