DT-770 Pro 250 Ohm : great pair of headphones

I needed new tracking/reference headphones. As I prefer open-back, my choice was between the AKG K702 and this pair of Beyerdynamics. I ended up going straight for the DT-770, end do not regret my choice. These headphones are designed for professional mixing and mastering. They don't emphasize anything, but are just high fidelity in the respective frequency range. I love the supercrisp highs and solid mids. The lows are not boosted, but are there and are solid.

They actually work pretty great for tracking as well, but are ideal for mixing and mastering because what you hear is what you've got. When you get it to sound great in the K702, it will sound great everywhere. I did try some tracking as well, but because the headphones open back, they don't emphasize the midrange, so you will get some noise.

These headphones are a very inexpensive way to get fantastic sound for a very long time to come. Recommended!
