The wired headphones Wired Headphones Behringer HPM1100 are compared with similar models from Behringer, Beyerdynamic, and AKG. All evaluated products are wired headphones, but they differ in ear-cup construction, microphone availability, and intended application. The main distinctions relate to ergonomics, acoustic specifications, and communication capabilities.
⚙️ The specifications comparison table below contrasts ear coupling, driver size, impedance, sensitivity, frequency response, built-in microphone, and cable length to highlight the technical and practical differences between the models.
| Parameter | Behringer HPM1100 | Behringer HPM1000 | Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO | AKG K52 | Practical significance |
|---|
| Ear coupling | Circumaural | Supra-aural | Circumaural | Circumaural | Circumaural designs fully enclose the ear, providing better passive isolation and comfort during extended wear compared to supra-aural alternatives. |
| Driver size | 4 cm | Not specified | Not specified | 4 cm (40 mm) | Comparable driver dimensions ensure a similar baseline sound foundation for the Behringer and AKG models. |
| Impedance | 32 Ω | 32 Ω | 80 Ω | 32 Ω | A 32 Ω impedance ensures easy compatibility with standard computers, phones, and portable players without an amplifier, whereas 80 Ω requires a more capable source. |
| Sensitivity | 96 dB | 105 dB | 96 dB | 110 dB | Higher sensitivity on AKG and HPM1000 models allows for higher maximum volume levels from weaker output sources. |
| Frequency response | 20–20,000 Hz | 20–20,000 Hz | 5–35,000 Hz | 18–20,000 Hz | The extended frequency response of the Beyerdynamic model is tailored for detailed monitoring and critical listening applications. |
| Microphone | Built-in microphone | Not available | Not available | Not available | The built-in microphone makes the HPM1100 ready for voice calls and communication without needing a separate headset. |
| Cable length | 2 m | 2 m | 3 m | 2.5 m | A cable length of around two meters provides convenient reach for desktop computer setups or audio equipment. |
◎ The suitability and use cases table below evaluates which product is best suited for various user needs, such as general desktop use, home listening, or studio monitoring.
