Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Limited Edition Headphones, Black

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).

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.

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.

Boosted treble, deep bass, Crystal Clear but not fatigue inducing

My audiophile story began in 2015 when I got Audio Technica ATH M50x. Since then I've bought Sennheiser HD 598, Sony WH-1000XM3, Yamaha HS5 and now Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 ohms.I realized the importance of comfort. Even though ATH M50x was clearer than HD 598, I still preferred HD 598 for everything. But lately, I began recording, mixing and performing live (amateur flautist here) and I felt the need for a comfortable and transparent set of headphones, especially when tracking flute pieces which tend to contain a lot of sibilant sounds. Even when mastering flute sounds, they need to be clearly audible and DT 770s were recommended for clean treble.Comfort was my most important criterion however (right after sound of course!) And all the reviews about reliable ... MoreMy audiophile story began in 2015 when I got Audio Technica ATH M50x.

But lately, I began recording, mixing and performing live (amateur flautist here) and I felt the need for a comfortable and transparent set of headphones, especially when tracking flute pieces which tend to contain a lot of sibilant sounds. Even when mastering flute sounds, they need to be clearly audible and DT 770s were recommended for clean treble.Comfort was my most important criterion however (right after sound of course!) And all the reviews about reliable studio headphones pointed to DT 770s. Again there was confusion on which version I would have to get. 80ohm or 250ohm.Ultimately decided on getting the 250ohm version as I had 2 interfaces and an analog mixer. All three devices can drive these headphones comfortably. I believe the 250ohm version was indeed built to be used with professional audio equipment. In fact, I have never had to crank them above 50%, beyond which they get dangerously loud for me(I have sensitive ears and I can listen comfortably with lower DB volumes than most people I've met)Ratings of my audio gearYamaha HS5 studio monitors - 99/100Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 250 ohm - 95/100Audio Technica ATH M50x - 92/100Sennheiser HD 598 - 90/100Sony MDR 7506 - 85/100Build: These are extremely well built. One weird quirk I found was with the wire that goes into the right earcup. It was not routed in the same shape as the left side. So I removed the screws from the yoke holding the earcup and rotated it and placed them back and now the wire gets routed symmetrically and beautifully as intended! I may have OCD! I like the wires to be shaped symmetrically on both sides!Comfort: They are very light weight and fit securely on the head. Although the HD 598 are more comfortable, these are a close second.Bass: Oh my! The bass is very deep and clear, much clearer than ATH M50x which I thought was ultimate bass king. It's like the bass is rumblingMids: Mids are clean and flat, and do not get drowned by bass or treble. Most of my work gets done in these frequencies from 300Hz to 3kHz and I'm happy that these are very flat in these frequencies.Treble: This would be make or break for most people. These are a little treble heavy- which gives them that "clarity". It also helps us identify sibilant problem frequencies during recording and mixing. Since I've gotten these headphones, my recordings seem to have less sibilant and hissy flute sounds! Compared to ATH M50x the treble is higher quality and doesn't get piercing like ATH M50x (although I got used to that sound signature too!) It is all in the individual taste. But for getting mixing work and tracking work, nothing can beat these. You will see many reputed artists using these as many studios have these in the recording rooms.Separation: Very very distinct. In fact, these have such precise channel separation that the first 2 days I kept wondering why my left ear was hearing more volume, I thought these were broken. I even created a return request with headphonezone and they very kindly asked me to raise a return request. But my saner mind prevailed and I decided to do a thoroughly scientific test. I imported a few popular songs onto Reaper and just measured the effective loudnesses and to my surprise I could clearly see that the left channel was louder on many popular tracks because many professionally mastered songs tend to push the bass frequencies to the left channel slightly causing the overall LUFS on left to be higher! I was able to perceive this very distinctly on these headphones. I thought the right channel was broken! It helps a lot in fixing channel imbalances. If your studio monitoring headphones can't show you channel imbalance issues, then they're not fit to be studio monitors. On none of my other headphones, I was able to perceive that slight channel imbalance.Sound Stage: This was a pleasant surprise for me. I expected the sound stage to be very minimal like ATH M50x but they are surprisingly airy for a closed back headphones. They are almost as good as HD 598 which are open back headphones!.Accessories and other considerations: My only gripe is with the highly egregious cover they throw in with these! But considering that these will stay only in a recording studio, they get the job done. And a non-detachable cable is sacriligous in 2021!Overall Thoughts:These cans help me catch mistakes right in the tracking phase and help identify mistakes in the mixing phase when equing problem frequencies. This is a laser focused tool for the studio. People may not enjoy listening to sounds because they are very revealing and will pin point all the flaws in your mix.

Decent closed back headphones (DT 770 80ohm)

I mainly bought these for gaming(Valorant mainly) and normal media consumption. I was using Hyperx stinger before so i'm mainly gonna compare these to stinger(i've also used sennheiser hd 599 SE which is an open back headphone, but i returned them because it has too much bass for my liking and nearly no isolation.)I ran this 80 ohm version on my cheapass motherborad(msi h110m pro-vh plus) only, which was enough to power them and the sound was loud enough for me(80% on spotify) but the sound was definitely lower than my stinger(might buy an amp/dac in the future but not necessary). My phone(Mi A1) also powered them decently but i had to pump the volume to nearly 90-100% on spotify.Sound - For the initial days i found the lower bass of dt770 was kinda boosted but as ... MoreI mainly bought these for gaming(Valorant mainly) and normal media consumption.

My phone(Mi A1) also powered them decently but i had to pump the volume to nearly 90-100% on spotify.Sound - For the initial days i found the lower bass of dt770 was kinda boosted but as i got used to the sound signature of these cans it gets better and after swapping back to stinger i found that the stinger has very high mids and treble which causes sibilance and i can't use them anymore, whereas DT 770s sound very comfortable.Imaging(footsteps and directional audio) - stinger does a better job but not by a large margin whereas while consuming media (movies, songs etc) everything sounds better on dt 770.Build quality - is very good on these cans, can almost last forever and the good thing is, even if u somehow damage any part of these cans, u can replace it(except for the cable and driver ofcourse).Isolation - Way better than stinger. When wearing these headphones i can hardly hear any outside noise, even my ceiling fans noise(which normally runs on high speed) gets completely isolated.Conclusion - If u game seriously then buy some other gaming headset(also contains mic), but if u want an all rounder then buy these(in my opinion this is the best closed back headphone under 15k) and if isolation is not a problem for u then choose an open back headphone( something like sennheiser HD 599, which sometimes goes on sale for 9-10k, which is an absolute banger of a price, but let me warn u HD 599 has elevated high bass frequency which tends to bleed into mids, otherwise it is a good deal if u don't mind bass).

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!

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.

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.

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.

Works great with an equalizer

After 2 days of burning them, they sound really good.Yes, a tad bright but nothing that an equalizer can't fix. (I followed the Harman curve target for non-monitoring purposes)The sound stage is lovely for a closed back and a detailed but not overpowering sub bass is refreshing.At a sensitivity of 96 dB they don't get as loud (This troubled me initially). But the point of a good set is that you can resolve the details even at lower volumes.Believe me, I mostly listen to them at 60-70% volume now. Good for the long-term hearing too :)I was also looking for the silver-grey velour earpads and the team got them for me O_O. The pleather pads have ventilation holes in the back and are equally comfortable as well.An awesome experience overall and money well spent.
