DT-770 Pro 250 Ohm : Excellent for tracking and (limited) mixing

I’ve been using the DT-770 (the 250 Ohm version) for many years now in my studio and needed another pair. These headphones are indispensable for tracking—the diffuse field equalization creates a wide soundstage and balanced sound. The musician never feels claustrophobic, like one might in many other headphones that favor the free-field equalization.

Beyerdynamic has made few changes to the design of the DT-770s. One of note is the thread on the 3.5 mm jack—it’s much smaller than the standard M8x0.75. You’re stuck with the supplied 3.5 to 6.3 mm adaptor, which is prone to breaking inside your equipment making it very difficult to extract the broken off part.

The sound is ever so slightly different from the DT-770s from a few years back—the mids are a tiny bit more pronounced.
