How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want to restore or extend the life of a pair of beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X headphones, choose beyerdynamic EDT 700; if you need a complete, ready-to-use pair of studio-oriented headphones with a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter in the box, choose OneOdio Monitor 60. These two listings are not really rivals — one is a spare-parts kit, the other is a finished headphone — and that single fact should settle most of the decision before you read any further.
• beyerdynamic EDT 700 — biggest strength: a purpose-built replacement ear pad set (velour, grey) with soft memory foam, two fleece pads and a clamping ring, all designed for tool-free self-assembly on the DT 700 PRO X.
• beyerdynamic EDT 700 — biggest trade-off: it only fits the DT 700 PRO X and it is not a headphone — if you don't already own that model, this set has nothing to attach to.
• OneOdio Monitor 60 — biggest strength: it is a complete pair of studio headphones aimed at mixing, mastering and DJ work, and it ships with a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter so it works with modern phones and laptops that dropped the headphone jack.
• OneOdio Monitor 60 — biggest trade-off: the maker's own description stays broad — "crystal-clear highs, rich mids, deep punchy lows" — so beyond that tuning claim there is less hard spec detail to plan around than you get with the beyerdynamic set.
• Who each pick is for: EDT 700 for existing DT 700 PRO X owners whose pads are worn or flattened; Monitor 60 for anyone who needs headphones to actually listen with, right out of the box.
Think of the EDT 700 as maintenance, not gear. It is a replacement ear pad set for one specific headphone: the beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X. The pads are velour in grey — the standard version — and velour is the material people reach for when they want a supple surface with a high level of air circulation, which matters during long sessions when your ears would otherwise get warm and sticky. Under that velour sits soft memory foam, the part that actually decides how the pad feels against your head after the first hour.
The kit itself is deliberately complete. You get the ear pads, two fleece pads and one clamping ring, and beyerdynamic designed it for easy self-assembly without additional tools. That last point is the real selling point for me: pad swaps are the kind of job people put off for months because they assume it's fiddly, and a set that snaps in without a screwdriver removes that excuse entirely. You also get the right parts in one box rather than hunting for foam discs separately.
Who should buy it: anyone who already owns the DT 700 PRO X and has noticed the original pads going flat, shiny or uncomfortable. Worn foam changes how a headphone sits and seals, and refreshing it is the cheapest way to bring a familiar pair back to feeling like itself. Who should skip it: everyone else. If you don't own a DT 700 PRO X, there is nothing here to install, and no adapter, cable or headphone is included to broaden its use. It is a single-purpose accessory and it makes no apology for that.
The Monitor 60 is the opposite kind of product: a finished pair of headphones you can unbox and use. OneOdio positions it for audiophiles and DJs, and the tuning it promises is the classic studio profile — crisp treble, a full midrange, and low end with weight behind it. If your day involves mixing, mastering, or just listening critically to tracks you know well, that is the target this headphone is aimed at, rather than casual background listening.
The detail I'd flag to a buyer is the bundle: this version ships with a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter. That sounds minor until you remember how many phones, tablets and slim laptops no longer have a headphone jack. Having the adapter in the box means you can go from a studio interface to a phone without buying an extra dongle — a small thing that turns into a daily annoyance if it's missing. It also makes the Monitor 60 a plausible one-pair option for someone who splits time between a desk setup and mobile listening.
Who should buy it: someone who needs working headphones now, wants a studio-flavoured sound signature, and appreciates that the adapter is included rather than sold separately. Who should skip it: buyers who want a specific, documented fit for an existing headphone they already trust, or who want to choose their own pad material and foam later — the Monitor 60 is a sealed package, not a parts kit. It's also worth being realistic that OneOdio's own description leans on sound-quality language rather than a long list of hard specifications, so if you like to compare numbers before buying, you'll be working with less to go on here.
• Best for repairing headphones you already own → beyerdynamic EDT 700. It exists purely to refresh a DT 700 PRO X.
• Best for getting listening immediately → OneOdio Monitor 60. It's a complete headphone with an adapter included.
• Best for hot, long listening sessions → beyerdynamic EDT 700. Velour with high air circulation and memory foam is the more breathable-feeling combination on paper.
• Best for mobile and laptop use → OneOdio Monitor 60. The bundled USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter is the deciding feature here.
• Best for mixing and mastering workflows → OneOdio Monitor 60. That's the use case OneOdio explicitly builds and markets it for.
• Best for tool-free, low-hassle ownership → beyerdynamic EDT 700. Self-assembly without additional tools, with the fleece pads and clamping ring supplied.
• Best for fit certainty → beyerdynamic EDT 700. Its compatibility is stated precisely: the DT 700 PRO X, nothing else.
• Best for a first or only pair → OneOdio Monitor 60. A pad set can't play music; if you have no headphone yet, there's only one real option in this comparison.
In my opinion, these aren't competitors, so the honest recommendation is to buy the one that matches what you already own or need. If you have a DT 700 PRO X and the pads are tired, I'd get the beyerdynamic EDT 700 — it's the specific, correct part, it installs without tools, and velour plus memory foam is a sensible comfort choice. If you don't own that headphone, I'd buy the OneOdio Monitor 60 instead, because a complete headphone with a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter in the box is the only one of these two that does anything on its own. Buy the part if you're maintaining; buy the headphone if you're starting.
No. It's a replacement ear pad set for the beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X, supplied with two fleece pads and one clamping ring. It contains no headphone, cable or adapter.
Based on the listed compatibility, it's specified for the DT 700 PRO X. It isn't described as a universal pad, so I wouldn't count on it fitting other models.
Yes — this version includes a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter, which is exactly what you need for USB-C devices without a 3.5 mm output.
They solve different problems, so "value" depends on your starting point: the EDT 700 is worth it only if you already own a DT 700 PRO X, while the Monitor 60 makes sense if you need a complete headphone. Check the current price on Amazon for both before deciding, since that's the part I can't judge for you.
