Why I bought Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro?

A great set of headphones can be the difference between an OK listening experience and an amazing one – but only if you’re using the right pair! There are plenty of reasons why you might want to invest in new headphones, whether it’s simply because you got your first pair of good headphones or because your old ones died and you need to replace them. If you’re looking for a great pair of studio headphones, this article will tell you all about the Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro studio headphones!

Sound quality

The DT 770 Pros offer a distinctive sound in the world of studio-style headphones, especially the 250 ohm version. They respond quickly and are excellent at displaying tiny details. But unlike the typical studio pair, the frequency response characteristic is more sculpted and pumped up.


What is 250 ohm?

The headphones’ bass is stronger and their treble is less pronounced at 80 Ohm. Even more bass will be produced by 80 Ohm at louder volumes. Although the high-end is more dominant in the 250 Ohm version, the bass response is similar. A little more mid-bass and sub-bass roll-off is also present.

In what ways does this affect your experience?

The 80 Ohm version is more enjoyable to listen to because it has better bass output. While gaming or listening to music, 80 Ohm will perform better for you. The 250 Ohm pair of headphones will be preferable for studio use due to their wider frequency response.

Note: You’ll probably require an amplifier if using headphones with a 250-ohm impedance. Due to muddiness, low frequency distortion, and a very low output loudness, using 250-ohm headphones without an amplifier is likely to degrade the sound quality. This enables the use of 250-ohm headphones, which are frequently incompatible with PCs, but it is with the UA’s Volt 476 I recently reviewed.


The headphones have more bass than the majority of studio models, but the bass is lush, incredibly long, and, well, let’s just call it silky.

More so than you may think you’d want in a “pro” pair of headphones, the mids are laid-back and a little withdrawn. However, they’re beautifully drawn. They don’t have any hollowness or thinness, and the bass doesn’t muddle them up. Voices and instruments both have a nice, genuine sound, but they sound little distant.
Like trumpets made by angels, the highs shoot out of these.

As a result, you receive an overall thrilling, captivating listening experience with plenty of speed, detail, and width. They are an exciting headphone, not one to use while unwinding. This is going to get a little strange, but these look like magic headphones from a studio in a fantasy setting. While allowing professionals to still hear problems in the mix, they give everything a slightly “bigger” and “better” sound.

Here are the studio headphones with the greatest amount of fun and the least amount of “boringness”.

Design

The DT 770 Pros are built around a mid-80s design. They have a fixed cable, a metal headband with replaceable padding, and large circular over-ear ear cups. The coiled cable on this 250 Ohm version is just as good and flexible as the straight cable on the 80 Ohm. You can easily bend and flex it into any shape you require.

There aren’t many design frills, just a simple placard with the headphones’ name on it on the back of the earcups. Even though the cups are quite large, they still sit close to the head so that they don’t appear too absurd in public. Grats to Beyerdynamic for accomplishing this.

Build quality

This headphone would receive a perfect score in the build quiality category if I awarded points for headphones.

The DT 770 Pros’ build justifies the “Pro” in their name. The final product is hand-assembled in Germany, where each component is also produced.

In comparison to almost every other headphone I’ve used, regardless of price, these materials feel better. The material used for the ear cup backs has a texture similar to that of a bowling alley seat or an instrument case. It is strong and enduring.

The headband and ear cup forks are crafted from sturdy spring steel.
The removable headband pad is a great addition. It is nicely padded and simply snaps on over the metal underneath. Additionally, the ear pads are simply replaceable.

The exposed wires coming out of each ear cup and the permanently attached cable are the only issues I can legitimately have with the build. I don’t mind them, though. Three meters can be reached by the coiled cable.

I cannot emphasize enough how excellent the cable material is. I can live with it being attached because it’s so much better than the springy wire used in most headphone cables.

Comfort

These are not in the absolute top comfort tier for most heads due to the slightly high clamp and overall large size, but I still really like how they feel. They fit well over my glasses and I think they are appropriate for long sessions.

Both the ear cups and the headband have excellent and generous padding. Even Sennheiser’s velour options pale in comparison to the velour covering on the ear pads, which is much softer to the touch.

I can only wear them with one additional click of adjustment, almost fully extended. However, since the ear cups are circular, you can wear these pretty much anywhere on your head because they don’t have to sit in a particular orientation. So finding a good fit should be simple for you.

These are for you if you don’t like it when headphones touch your ears. Despite not being ear-shaped, the ear cup holes are very large and should fit most ears. Additionally, the cup is quite deep, which should comfortably accommodate large ears. In the unlikely event that your ear does touch the cup’s back, the interior.
Normally, I don’t mind when headphones touch my ears… But these are satisfying enough for me to comprehend why people would want this. The enormous cups will gently float your ears inside. The fact that this area is so big probably contributes to the excellent soundstage.

Isolation

The DT770 Pros, according to Beyerdynamic, provide isolation of about 18dB. and they are correct!

For velour ear cups, that is really remarkable. These are an exception to the rule because those typically aren’t very isolating. These are perfect for loud environments despite the velour.

Final thoughts

When there are high-quality studio pairs like the Pioneer DJ HRM-5s that are much less expensive, it is difficult to wholeheartedly recommend the 250 Ohm DT 770 Pros. They sound great, are comfortable, and are roughly half the price. They also include a better bag. And a cable that can be detached.

However, I really like these! The DT 770 Pros speak to me on an emotional level in every aspect, from their sound to their build, and they merit their higher price over competing products.

Simply put, I’m not certain that the majority of people will require them.

However, the DT770 is the best option if you want to move up from the M50X/MDR-V6/HD280/HRM-5 tier and get a closed pair that will demonstrate the value that more money can bring in all the right ways.

I wouldn’t spend any more money on a pair of closed-back studio-style headphones, and the DT 770s are the best there is, in my opinion.

Here is the page about them from Beyerdynamics! I appreciate you for reading. In the event that you made it this far and enjoyed yourself, kindly share it with your friends.
