Fit: These have big cups that surround your ears. Pleather pads surround your ears and rest on your head and are very soft. It is quite sealed so you might encounter some warm ears during long sessions. I have a larger head (wear 7 7/8 hats) and the clamping force is about perfect. Its a little firm but I like that, it's firm enough that it keeps the sound out and allows me to listen in privacy.
Sound: Treble is defined but not harsh. Mids are light but noticeable. Lows are clean. The adjustable bass range takes it from super bassy to almost non-existent. Bass almost seems constricted at the lower settings though so opening them up and letting the bass bump away is the way to go. The different settings don't change the treble much if at all. These headphones work just fine without an amp but feeding them some extra power takes performance to the next level by adding extra punch to the high end and a bit more bass. Mids are a weakness of this headphone but I don't mind that. I bought it for the high and lows. Soundstage is good on these too! If you don't know what I mean by soundstage it will be an experience you will enjoy. It adds some depth to the area where it feels the music is coming from. Almost like surround sound but without that concert hall effect.
Build: Very good build. The frame is all metal with good flex in all directions. Earpads are replaceable by prying them off and the pleather headband cover is also removable. Adjusting the height works better when the headphones are off. The plugs are definitely larger than those that are on ear buds but compared to other headphones they are average. If you have a huge case on your phone, you might have some issues since the plug on the main cable is threaded for the larger 1/4" jack adapter. Personally, I have had no issues.
Accessories: This setup comes with 2 removable cables one of them has a mic\controls on it both are good quality and are about what you would expect from this price range. The cable without the mic/control has the adapter to fit your professional equipment. The replaceable faceplates are fun! It comes with the two factory style Beyerdynamic plates you see in the pictures that are metal and then 8 pairs of different cardboard plates that are double-sided with similar prints on each side. The plates are held in with a plastic ring that is secured with 4 allen-style screws that can be removed with the included tool or correct size allen wrench.
Value: Great value! You get a lot for the money and with the adjustable bass it is like having a couple headphones in one. Even though the covers are pleather it is good quality and I don't see it cracking or falling apart anytime soon. Even if it does there are plenty of color options available and even velour for the ear pads.
Pros:
They are super durable, have awesome bass, and are the most comfortable pair of headphones that I have (and I own the Sony WH-xb900Ns, and the Beyer's are much more comfortable). While yes, they are a bit bulky and look pretty big, they certainly still retain their comfort. I can wear these things all day and still not notice that they are on my head. And with them being large/bulky, they are super tough! I have thrown these things across the room, really abused them, and they still hold up after 4 years. They also have a removable headphone jack, so in case you bend your cable the wrong way, you can always just unplug it and replace the cord (without having to replace the whole headset).
Cons:
The only downsides that I would mention, is that the ear cups/head band frays after extended use (say around 1 year), and it can get really messy, but you can always just replace them (hence the "custom" part of their name). I also would've liked a volume control option on the cable, but at least it has a pause/play button/mic on it.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for a good set of wired, customizable headphones that produce some pretty good bass and don't break the bank, these are great for you!
Sound
The over all sound is clear, without any muddiness. If you like strong bass, these headphones definitely have it - and it's adjustable. There is a slider on each earcup which exposes several holes. As the slider exposes more holes to open air, the bass response increases. There are 4 settings. The first setting keeps the bass to a minimum. I find that setting #3 is the sweet spot - it's strong, and it works well for most music. Setting #4 is a bit overboard, but I can see it might be good for certain EDM songs. The bass itself is generally a bit loose, and not tight. The mids are recessed, and the treble is not quite as crisp as competing products. The clarity is there, but compared to other headphones in the same price range, the Custom One Pro does not deliver the same treble definition as say the Beyerdynamic DT 770, or the Audio Technica M50x. So if you like that crisp, extended treble, you will want to look at other headphones. The soundstage is good, but not spectacular and open like Beyerdynamic's DT770. However, what has surprised me is that I have grown to like the sound of these headphones quite a lot. Although I have other, more expensive headphones with more definition in the higher frequencies, for some reason, the Custom One Pro sounds really good to me. In some ways other headphones with extended treble sometimes sounds "artificial" by comparison. The Custom One Pro sounds somewhat more "natural" - if you can say that for a headphone that boosts its bass response. It sounds really good when listening to classic rock for example. But when listening to EDM, I did miss that extended treble a little.
Changing the Pads = more "sparkle" in the treble
The earpads are very comfortable, but eventually they began to peel-away, and expose the ugly foam underneath (more on this later). So I decided to replace them with the pads that came with my DT770. Immediately, I noticed that the sound actually changed a bit. The treble seemed more defined, and not so rolled-off. I also noticed that the bass was a bit less impactful - but this isn't an issue. (All I had to do was increase the bass setting - I was on setting #3 before, so I switched it to setting #4 to compensate.) The treble was now more emphasized than before. Though my DT770s still outclassed it in terms of treble, the Custom One Pros now sounded a lot better when listening to EDM.
Burn in
When I first tried on Custom One Pro I found that the treble was so flat that I was really disappointed. However, after doing an extensive burn-in period of about 48 hours, the sound has definitely improved. Though it's not as extended or crisp as other headphones, the treble is now what I would call clear and pleasant. The bass and mids have also improved, but not as noticeable as the improvement of treble. As for the burn-in proceedure, I simply connected the headphone to my iPad overnight several times during the week. I played music and free burn-in tracks that I downloaded over the Internet all-night.
Comfort:
This is one of the most comfortable pair of headphones you can buy. The pads rest around your ears, and not on them. This alleviates physical pressure on your ears directly, and therefore causes minimal fatigue. I've had these headphones on for hours without any sort of comfort issues. By contrast, my other bass-focused headphone, the AKG K181 rests on my ears directly - and after a few hours of use, my ears can get sore. The clamping force is not too bad - though it will be somewhat firm in the beginning.
Customization
The Custom One Pro, as you can imagine not only allows you to customize the sound (via bass settings), but it also allows you to customize its looks. Almost everything about the headphone can be replaced. This particular version (the Custom One Plus) comes with 16 "covers" that can replace the default covering on the Headphone speakers' housing. (Theres a different design on each side of a cover - so technically there are 32 designs.) Personally, I didn't find the additional covers to be too attractive, but you can buy more "premium" looking covers as well (though they aren't cheap). What I do like is that the headphone cable is replaceable. This means if you're cable ever gets damaged, you can simply replace it instead of the whole headphone itself. (Most quality replacement cables cost only $20.) The pads are also replaceable. I've seen velour pads made for this headphone which look quite good - though I've never bought them myself. (The Custom One Pro uses the same size and type of pads as Beyerdyanic's other headphones such as the DT770).
Build Quality
The Custom One Pro is mostly well-built. The two plastic earcups are held in-place by a black-painted metal frame. The earcups adjust without any issues and feel sturdy. The headband is covered in a very soft leather-like material. Unfortunately, after about 6 months of use the earpads began to peel away from their internal stitching - exposing the foam on the inside of the earcups. However, the earpads themselves can be replaced. The pads that fit other Beyerdynamic headphones will usually fit the Custom One Pro. In fact I have installed the leather pads that came with the DT770 onto my pair of Custom One Pros - and they work great, and are just as comfortable.
Conclusion
For me, the combination of the clear, bass-emphasized sound; and a comfortable fit is what I was after. I can wear this headphone all day long without much fatigue. The highs are definitely a little laid back, but they are still clear, and sound great with classic rock. What's more, you can change the pads to get that back a little of the treble to compensate. These are a great set of cans for the money - and the adjustable bass is nice feature.
Top reviews from other countries
Su impedancia es bastante baja (16 ohms) así como su máximo poder de entrada (nominal power) es de apenas 100mW hacen una combinación perfecta para que cualquier batería mediocre de smartphone pueda proporcionar la energía suficiente para que brinden una buena experiencia de escucha.
Smartphones con los que los he probado (spotify & apple music):
1.- Samsung galaxy S9+ excelente sonido, los lleva al límite con el efecto (dolby atmos).
2.- Samsung galaxy A7 buen sonido.
3.- Samsung tablet A6 buen sonido.
4.- LG Q10 Sonido plano apenas aceptable (con los ATH-m50X suena peor).
5.- Apple iphone SE 64gb sonido aceptable (spotify & apple music).
Conclusión: Pienso que la combinación de una baja impedancia y requerir poco poder nominal (16 ohms & 100mw respectivamente) favorecen a esto audífonos para desempeñarse muy bien en el campo de los dispositivos móviles, en contraste con los ATH-M50x (también los poseo) tienen una impedancia de 38 ohms y su poder nominal es de 1600mW volviéndose un poco más exigentes (aunque en sitios web como head-fi.org) argumentan que no es necesario el uso de un amplificador; si que se benefician al ponerles uno.
Basado en lo anterior los beyerdynamic custom one pro plus son mis audífonos preferidos para utilizar con dispositivos móviles.
These are truly Amazing Headphones, However, i found that the included pleather earpads made the highs a bit dull for lack of a better word and the bass just hung around muddying the sound, to fix this i've swapped the earpads for the velour ones found on the DT 770, the fit is perfect and the improvement to sound is truly amazing, i had little beliefe that just the pads alone would make such a difference, but they really do! A must buy if purchasing these headphones! As an added side affect these pads allow some ambient noise IN that helps when on discord or in a zoom call so you can hear yourself speak and not be worried about either shouting or talking too quietly, similar to a semi-closed headset.
You can find them here -> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0016MMYKA
The sound clarity is now amazing, with a really crispy highs and smooth bass.
As for build quality, they feel like a premium pair of headphones, though the method used for head articulation where they connect to the headband feels a bit cheap as they wobble a conciderable amount, though, its not even noticable when their on your head. The cable is slightly shorter than i'm used too, though feels very high quality and is substantial in diameter compared to other headsets.
The sliders are a welcome addition to an already amazing pair of headphones. A feature that not many others have, sliding them to the top will basically eliminate the bass entirely and to the bottom will make your ears vibrate, there's 4 steps so there will be one suited for your preference.
While my main use for these is general music listening while working during the day wearing them for 8+ hours, they also perform great in games like CS:GO providing a very rich enviroment allowing you to hear exactly where the target is.
I primarily use these with a Fiio E10k while at my desk, and a Fiio BTR1k while out, both are exeptional amps for these low ohm drivers.
Overall i'd definatly reccomend buying these headphones if you'd like a pair that sound exeptional and have a great name behind them but for a very reasonable price.

The most unique feature of these headphones is of course the adjustable bass switch located on each side, which was what drew me to these in the first place. I have mine currently set to the 3rd slot (4 bass levels in total). The bass sounds great and it doesn’t overpower the mids or high. If your a basshead, the highest bass level may meet your needs, but I’m no basshead so I can’t say for certain.
The impedance on these are a low 16 ohms, which make these headphones versatile and can be adjusted to fit your audio needs on mobile devices and/or pc, without the need of expensive amp/dac or external soundcard which was a major selling point for me.
The headphones are sturdy and flexible with comfortable earcups and not to strong a clamp. I have a large head and find them much more comfortable than the Arctis 5 which has to strong a clamp.
Another thing I love about these headphones is you can replace many parts if they get damaged or if you want to just customize them to your preference such has the earcups, headband, detachable cable (which is awesome) and side face plates.
Speaking of side face plates, that was one of the few miscues Beyerdynamic made in my opinion. Besides the default face plate (which is made of metal), all the extra face plates included in the box are made of cardboard. Another negative is I wish the headphones could swivel or fold-up to make it more compact. And one last nit-pick, the cable for mobile devices (2 different cables included) is as basic as it gets with only 1 button. Would have been nice if they included one with at least 3 buttons.
Other than those few miss-steps, these are a great pair of headphones that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a versatile and customizable pair of entry level audiophile cans and don’t want to spend money on an amp/dac or expensive soundcard.
I rate these headphones a 4.5/5 (rounding up to 5 stars) with the deductions due to the extra face plates being made of cardboard, inability to swivel or fold the headphones, and lackluster mobile cable.
