Build quality is excellent, but points shaved off for the dangling wires that link the cans, and for a permanently linked cable, meaning it will not be a simple job to replace, should it become damaged.The sound is a little flat overall, but still better than the lower end headphones (compared against £40 - £80 Sony, Sennheiser, and AKG’s). This is not an issue with what I wanted, as it’s mainly to edit Voice (Narrating and Voiceovers), and listening to music is still very good, picking up all the range with clarity and depth. Could be better, but not by much.They work well on both my laptop and my studio mixer, which is why I chose the 80Ω version.They block out external sounds, and keep the internal sounds contained, even with the volume is high.Rumour has it ... MoreBuild quality is excellent, but points shaved off for the dangling wires that link the cans, and for a permanently linked cable, meaning it will not be a simple job to replace, should it become damaged.The sound is a little flat overall, but still better than the lower end headphones (compared against £40 - £80 Sony, Sennheiser, and AKG’s).

A Sonic Paradise - Beyerdynamic DT 770pro 250 Ohms

I recently embarked on a musical journey with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 250 Ohms headphones, and let me tell you, it has been nothing short of a sonic paradise! These headphones have completely transformed my listening experience, and I couldn't be happier.First and foremost, the comfort level of the DT 770s is outstanding. The plush ear cushions and adjustable headband ensure that I can wear these headphones for hours on end without any discomfort. Whether I'm in a long gaming session or a marathon music-listening session, these headphones keep me comfortable throughout.But what truly sets the DT 770s apart is their sound quality. The 250-ohm impedance might be on the higher side, but it's worth every ohm. The audio quality is simply breathtaking.

The 250-ohm impedance might be on the higher side, but it's worth every ohm. The audio quality is simply breathtaking. The clarity and detail in the sound are remarkable, making every note, instrument, and voice come to life. I've discovered nuances in my favorite songs that I never knew existed.The sub bass is there but a bit lackin i feel so i eq'd it a little bit, the mids are rich and warm, and the highs are crisp(the dreaded 250 ohm sibilance!! eq'd it) and clear. It's like experiencing my music collection all over again.Build quality is another strong suit of these headphones. They feel robust and durable, and I have no doubts about their longevity. The cable isnt detachable is the only caveat,will be trying the balanced cable mod in the coming future also eyeing the fiio r9 but might have to settle with the k7 ˙◠˙

Balanced and Comfortable

The good part:There are many great-sounding headphones, but I never wanted to use them because they are uncomfortable, thus sticking to on-ear/in-ear.DT770s are hands down THE MOST comfortable headphones I have ever tried, I have had these for a few months, and I can go several hours of wearing them, and I'll forget I even have them on.These do not make my ears warm, are not tight anywhere on the head, and of course sound balanced. I can comfortably drive the 80Ohm with just my laptop for listening to music, the Focusrite Scarlett for production, or my amplifier to monitor my guitar.The not-good part:The cable is pretty long and is NOT detachable.The two tiny cables emerging from the cans seem fragile, and you'll need to be mindful of them; you can't just pop ... MoreThe good part:There are many great-sounding headphones, but I never wanted to use them because they are uncomfortable, thus sticking to on-ear/in-ear.DT770s are hands down THE MOST comfortable headphones I have ever tried, I have had these for a few months, and I can go several hours of wearing them, and I'll forget I even have them on.These do not make my ears warm, are not tight anywhere on the head, and of course sound balanced.

Beyerdynamic DT770 are the PERFECT Headphones for me!

I'm new to podcasting and I needed to get a set of headphones to work with my Zoom P4 Podcast, and after doing some research, I decided on Beyerdynamic. Since I already had made a purchase with Sam Ash for another piece of equipment, being totally satisfied with their customer service, shipping, and pricing, I decided to order them from Sam Ash again. They arrived well packaged and safely. The headphones are very comfortable. They are 80 ohms impedance which work great with my podcast machine. They are comfortable on my head. I do not feel them. The sound clarity is great. Fit and finish is excellent. Great quality. I like the color combination on them as well. The unit comes with the standard plug and also an adapter for larger size. Long cord on the connection. ... MoreI'm new to podcasting and I needed to get a set of headphones to work with my Zoom P4 Podcast, and after doing some research, I decided on Beyerdynamic.

Long cord on the connection. Wire on headset is on the left side, so for me, it is better to have the cord behind my back, then crossing over me in front. Work perfectly. I recommend these.I rate Beyerdynamic DT770's 5*s out of 5.I rate Sam Ash services 5*s out of 5.Very happy. Thank you Beyerdynamic and Sam Ash for making my podcast equipment perfect. I appreciate you both.

Excellent for mixing and general listening!!

Excellent headphones for mixing podcast episodes. What's impressive in addition to the sound quality is its build quality. There's really sturdy metal body that I feel confident stretching over my large head. I can see myself buying them again for a backup, just to have it. I also think I'll end up buying other resistance measures later for other editing and listening purposes. I currently use it with a basic audio interface (Scarlett 2i2), and I also use it sometimes with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Only a slight warning: the cord is long and can't be removed from the headphones themselves. Fortunately, I had already anticipated that pre-purchase, so it's not a problem, as the DT770s have a substantial reputation among pro mixers and audiophiles. This is one of my best ... MoreExcellent headphones for mixing podcast episodes. What's impressive in addition to the sound quality is its build quality.

Great headphones to last you for many years

These headphones are in production since 1985 and they're one of the most popular models found in recording studios for a good reason! At this price point, they're one of the nicest headphones you can get for studio work, but also for listening to music in noisy environments (e.g. office). Since they're mostly closed back, unless you go really high with the volume, others won't be able to hear your music and you will not be able to hear outside noises either. Unless the environment is extremely loud, there's no need to buy Bluetooth ANC headphones that will significantly degrade the sound quality.The DT 770 have a pretty flat frequency response, since they primary use is for mixing music and studio work, but that can be easily corrected with adding some bass and ... MoreThese headphones are in production since 1985 and they're one of the most popular models found in recording studios for a good reason!

Unless the environment is extremely loud, there's no need to buy Bluetooth ANC headphones that will significantly degrade the sound quality.The DT 770 have a pretty flat frequency response, since they primary use is for mixing music and studio work, but that can be easily corrected with adding some bass and highs with an equalizer, if you want a more colored sound.The 80 ohm model works perfectly well with PCs and most phones and there's not much of a difference compared to 32 Ohm, but you get nice velour earpads, which are much more comfortable and last longer than the fake leather material used in the 32 Ohm model that gets sweaty and probably degrades after a couple of years. The 250 Ohm model is not suitable with all consumer devices, as it might be more demanding on the amplifier and might require a dedicated headphone amp.

My entry into audiophile territory

I bought the 80Ω version.Heard the word soundstage a lot but this is when I experienced it for the first time. Love the nuance with which everything is played back. Sibilant recordings do sound a bit harsh to my ears due to treble boost. Bass is lovely: rich, low, rumbling, un-muddy and satisfying. Oh yes, i now know what "muddy" means as well only now since my low-fi headphones sound just like that compared to these.Thanks for the "burn-in" advice upfront. I let a track run on loop at 70% volume for 12 hours and only after that did these cans shine.I understand why these have been voted high on comfort. Being round, they can be oriented with the headband at any angle you like. They have ample space for large ears and the velour cushions are comfortable while ... MoreI bought the 80Ω version.Heard the word soundstage a lot but this is when I experienced it for the first time.

Sure, they may not look trendy, but functionally, they serve you well for the money being paid.

Sound of NO silence (hopefully).

So...Headphones...PROPER headphones, not those teeny tiny ones that look like hearing aids...what? eh? half past three love.These are like the pones your DAD or Grandad would have worn, and sit over your ears. Not on or in but over.This way they are way more comfy because your ears aren't being squeezed or stretched or any of those other "s" words.They sit normally in a sonic cathedral of the headphone and the sound is allowed room to breathe and therefor to look (hear/sound?) it's best before it enters your ears.You won't miss anything using these, every nuance (yes, I did have to check the spelling), every tiny shape of the sound is transmitted through the cable into the headphone and then into your ears.The sound is so real that it's like having the ... MoreSo...Headphones...PROPER headphones, not those teeny tiny ones that look like hearing aids...what? eh? half past three love.These are like the pones your DAD or Grandad would have worn, and sit over your ears.

My Moog GM even thanked me for appreciating it more (there were hugs and even some tears, it was embarrassing).Anyway, leave your doubts at the door and go do it.

This is Rough

So, I knew these had a V-shaped tuning but this is...painful (literally). I started feeling ear fatigue in the middle of the first track I listened to. On the technical side they are good for the price giving a decent amount of detail, but highs are extremely sharp, "S" get easily sibilant, and there is a noticeable lack in upper base response. Vocalists are thrown in the mix of the other instruments with virtually no sound stage or separation. On top of this they sound...thin... hollow.But I thought this might be just me, so I asked my gf to use them for a day (she is not into audio and normally uses my HD560s). In the evening she told me they sounded "ok, a bit fatiguing but I don't mind it", until next morning when she went back to the 560s and said "oh, I had ... MoreSo, I knew these had a V-shaped tuning but this is...painful (literally).

With a little EQ these are the best closed back headphones anyone can get.

I have a hifiman Sundara, and was using that for listening to music.I am not sure if I am an audiophile because I don't have that kind of setup or numerous audio devices to listen to music. I mainly strive for clean and balanced sound.With the Hifiman Sundara I was not able to immerse myself in my music as it is a open back and I was using it in normal household condition with no isolation.That was the main reason to consider a closed back headphone, I decided to buy the beyerdynamic dt 700 pro x for the perfect balanced sound that I could hear from all reviews but spending 26K for nearly same sound as the dt 770 pro did not make sense to me.I was confused between the dt 770 pro 80 ohm and 250 ohm version. All reviews pointed 80 ohm to be the best for music ... MoreI have a hifiman Sundara, and was using that for listening to music.I am not sure if I am an audiophile because I don't have that kind of setup or numerous audio devices to listen to music.

All reviews pointed 80 ohm to be the best for music listening. While going through some reviews in different forums there was one person who clearly mentioned the differences between the different impedance models. The 250 ohm is more balanced with a greater sense of depth and seperation with a little more openness.That review made my buying decision and I bought the dt 770 250 ohm model. As I already have a Ifi Zen Can powering the headphone was not an issue.After receiving the headphone initially I felt the sound a little piercing in the high frequency range (as I was used to hearing the Sundaras). I used an android EQ (Wavelet app) brought down the 9.6k band -2.5 DB and now it sounds perfect. Amazing clearity, depth and sound stage with a little more distinctive bass than the Sundaras.I am happy with this purchase and satisfied with the sound of the headphones.
