SeriesBeyerdynamic DT 770 Pro

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO comes in 32 Ohms, 80 Ohms and 250 Ohms. I went for the 250 Ohms version, as these are very suitable for professional studio monitoring applications and the best among the series for audiophiles especially. This closed reference dynamic transducer headphone is a circumaural headphone constructed to fit around our ears. Weighing around 270 grams, the DT 770 PRO provides a frequency response from 5 - 35,000Hz, providing a nominal sound pressure level up-to 96dB. This headphone has a single sided cable for connection coming with a gold plated 3.5mm mini-jack plug and 1/4'' adapter. I have done extensive research before purchasing the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO, as I always do with all my products. After listening to these headphones from various different studios and receiving recommendations from several musicians and artists, I understood that the DT 770 PRO is something serious and still uses it since 1 year. Since I am someone who always travels and arranges music and mix on the go, the DT 770 PRO does an extremely professional job. I had previously used several headphones from different companies (not naming them), but they always failed me. After doing a basic mix with these headphones and when you playback on the monitors, you will realise how well the sound reproduction is produced by the DT 770 PRO. Though I do not suggest to get used to mixing with these, but for a beautiful start and for monitoring and listening to extreme detailing of the sounds and arrangement, this headphone stands out and is one of the best in the market. For $200, these headphones have to be grabbed immediately and are highly recommended for quality sound monitoring. Pros 1) Innovative Bass reflex system. 2) All parts are replaceable. 3) Soft inner pads, hours of playback and monitoring will not give you the slightest fatigue. 4) Reproduces almost 90 % of sound detailing after mixing through these and playing back later on monitors. 5) One among the best Audiophile headphones for monitoring. Period. 6) Not over-priced. Cons 1) No drawstring bag (Promised to come along with the purchase, but I did not get one). 2) The 3.5mm mini-jack is not that strong as it seems to be. A quick mis-handling can destroy the wiring. (This happened to a few of my friends and had to replace the whole headphone). 3) The box this gets shipped with is very amateur and not at all safe. To be honest, did not like the packing at all. 4) Optional ear cushions and travel bags are available for purchase on the website (Something that should have been given along with the purchase. C'mon!). 5) Slight coloration in the high mids and highs while monitoring. 6) Not recommended as recording headphones. Slight leakages noticed. I had planned months before itself to purchase the DT 770 PRO's. After searching for something that could fit softly on my ears, playing back audio for extended hours without any irritation or fatigue, and something that can be used for mixing and monitoring at the same time, Yes, I went with the right choice, and will go for it, even if it was now.

The BeyerDynamic DT 770's are a set of high quality studio headphones. The studio that I work at has a pair of these on hand, although they aren't always used as headphones for monitoring during recording unless absolutely needed. The headphones have a closed back and reproduce a phenomenal range of frequencies from 5 Hz to 35 kHz. The DT 770's are also some of the most comfortable headphones that I've ever worn. They are really soft and fit nicely on your ears, while at the same time they cover up the sound so you won't be getting much bleed out of them. They are of course adjustable for different sizes and on the end of the cable is an 1/8" jack, although I believe when you buy a new pair of these you'll also get a 1/4" adapter. As far as sound quality is concerned, the BeyerDynamic DT 770's are hard to beat, as they are some of the fullest sounding headphones that I've used to date. They cover the full spectrum of frequencies incredibly well both on paper and in practice as you can really hear the difference here. While I'm weary of mixing on any headphones, if you were going to do it, these would be the pair to do so on. They have a great low end response to go along with a nice and crisp high end and a full bodied mid range. They're awesome for checking mixes on, but since they sound so good, their usefulness definitely extends beyond this. The price of the BeyerDynamic DT 770's may scare a few people away, but this is going to be the price you pay for a set of high end studio headphones like this, and sometimes even more. If you're looking for an all in one set of high end studio headphones, the BeyerDynamic DT 770's are a great way to go...

(Originally written by Brunosimpl/translated from Audiofanzine FR) I've been using them for three months and I've had no problems. The headband seems easily breakable at the hinges of the earcups. I like most of all the comfort: it's an important point if you want to use them several hours straight. The response is not totally linear but it's good enough. I had only used Sony headphones and I was very satisfied with them but I wanted semi-closed headphones for recording so I bought these. I use them for different applications like premixing or CD listening. These headphones are sold at a moderate price and they are much cheaper than high-end hi-fi headphones. To keep it short: these are good headphones.
