beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80 Ohm Reviews

Not Bad Headphones for studio monitoring

I have a set of DT-880's as well as these DT-770's for studio desk monitoring use. Personally I like the 880's better as the build quality seems a bit better and the sound although similar I prefer the 880 for too.

However, the DT-770 are a great buy for the price - I've tried many other brands of headphones especially for monitoring but the Beyer always seem to come out on top. You can use them for extended periods in the mixing process (I do) and the results always sound great (so the bands say) after.

Great, but kind of excpected more.

They sound reasonably good, but nothing amazing. For some reason they hurt my head after a while, I can't say they are comfortable, but maybe that's just me. If you own a dedicated sound card, buy the 300 Ohm version of these. The best thing is the are so quiet, being closed and all. They are even reasonably quiet at quite high volume levels, great for recording sessions. Detachable cable would be great, but that's also a personal preference.

The best I have ever owned

These headphones are light, comfortable and have a really good sound reproduction. As a sound engineer and recording studio engineer true reproduction is very important. These headphones fill that role perfectly.

The closed back format provides good attenuation of external sound, but is not perfect in a live situation.

Highly recommended for quality, price and overall value

Best Headphones yet

I've had these babies nearly 6 months now and they are amazing. Its like wearing 2 kittens on your head. extremely comfortable. I was able to hear a pin drop in my mixes which meant being able to edit out or change anything in the mix that I would not have noticed. Bass response is perfect. Cant fault them and are extremely good value compared to a lot of other cans on the market. can use them for everyday use too. You wont regret it.

Very comfortable cans

These cans are amazingly comfortable, and have a huge sound. They do need a beefy headphone amplifier to successfully drive them at a loud level, but any mixing desks headphone out should be more than suitable, an iPod struggles a little.

They are a trifle bass heavy, which is very enjoyable while listening back to mp3s or listening to components during a mix, but they do lead to slightly bass light mixes when translating to other listening methods.

If the bass heaviness can be over come then they are great all day headphones, and have a soft spot for me for using for Drummers or Bass players while tracking, as the weight allows them to get into the groove without eq ing inputs

Ten out of ten

They're just what you expect. Clear sound, good bass, comfort, nice design... To say something negative, I would prefer it I could dettach the cable from the headphones, but they're still well done.

BEYERDYNAMICS DT 770 PRO 80ohms

If your like me and search for a pair to totally furfill your satisfaction. These are the ones for you, tick all boxes even price, to be honest they should be dearer due to others in and under it's league which are far too overpriced.

If your an all rounder like me who wants the best for the studio, best for mixing and best for listen to hard bass tracks. These headphones are your boys. If at that I am still picky that it don't have modern constructive styles in making the wire hardwired. And not detachable, you get over this after researching all the headphones out there with a detachable chord. They either break somewhere be headband or are over priced! Or most of all not as good as the DT 770 with regards to bandwidth and high definition in sound quality. The bass is real and just the punch you want to hear, I had headphones where the bass lacked and have always been disappointed with my past purchases. Being a DJ and full time music tech student.

Bear in mind, all the spares and accessories are just great for the beyerdynamics headphones. If something doesn't feel comfortable or breaks.. parts are available at reasonably prices! on this site.

From 5 Hz you hear such a low frequency that when you give it a lil notch in volume your having a seriously deep bass which not over powering and well balanced, especially with dance music. The vocals are so crisp and those midi instrument sounds, synthesisers are so captivating. The soundstage is excellent. People say it's unrealistic and quite a narrow sound, which makes the accuracy of a track not quite right. But no it's fanstatic!

With regards to an amp, well if you want one get one, but on devices is reasonably loud I can say. I won't be using it on my phone but for college projects mainly I bet they will sound great with my decks too. Built in sound cards will always be enough!

Although I must as you say 'burn in' these headphones but from first listen they top all my headphones. They are great HI FI headphones, are mobile enough and have best studio sound, I spent days researching headphones! I'm all about best studio sound, comfort and robust housing! Get these bad boys for sure.

Great studio headphones!

This is my second pair of these. One of the best headphones for studio recording and mixing.

High-end Headphone

I am very satisfied with my Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro headphones. They are high-end headphones with an extremely balanced sound and very good dynamics. I bought the 80 Ohms version to use it for playing guitar, mixing sound at the computer and hearing music.

Clear sound

Once the headphones had broken in, the initial heavy bass response mellowed and the natural clarity is very pleasing. They aren't mid-heavy either, which I'd struggled when using some of the Sennheisers.. I use the DT770s for studio recording and reference mixing. Very happy with these and would highly recommend if you're looking for closed back headphones - I believe they are Paul White's (sound on sound magazine) favourite too!!

Very comfortable headphones

Very good product. Build quality is amazing. You can use this headphones for very long time and you will forget that you have them on your head. Sound is great too.

Good Headphone for many applications

Hello,

as I was looking for an allround headphone, I thought as a student, it would be the best to spend my money for one good headphone, rather than to buy a few ones for different occasions. I checked different headphones and reviews and in the end bought the Beyerdynamic. To make it short, it was the right choice and I'm using them for about 1 1/2 year now.

My thought about what field of application the headphone would be used, were the following. I wanted the opportunity to practise in private if I want (E-Bass and E-Guitar), listen and/or record musik, and also to have the opportunity to use it, when I want to watch a movie on my Laptop. That was also the reason why I bought the 80 Ohms version. In the end, I'm not really watching much movies, so I can't really tell you how they work with that. I used them once with my smartphone (at home), wouldn't really take them out, as the sound of most sound processors in these things are, apart from modern music loudness war, not really good enough. But the Headphones really did make a good jog. As I bought the 80 Ohms version, volume wasn't an issue, so if you want to take a very good studio headphone out on your walk, it might be working ;) .

But for listening, recording and practising, they are really nice headphones with a good sound delivery from high to lows. You really need to like it, to have closed headphones, but I'm very happy with my choice, to have bought them.

I also find them very comfortably to wear over a longer period. Yes, at certain points your ears can get a bit warm, bit if you find it to much, stand up, get yourself a new coffee or take a breath of fresh air to reboot your system ;) .

Great and deep sound.

I would specify dt770 some as one of the best headphones for music lovers for its price. Deep bass, great high range.

But I still prefer the DT150 model for studio monitoring.

Simply fantastic

Simply the best headphones I ever had, the sound is beyond any anticipation I could ever have. Worth every coin. Very light and very strong, comfort is fantastic, I barely feel them on my head.

Very happy with these cans

I've had these headphones for three years now, and I'm very pleased with them. I'm a gigging musician (drums and percussion) and software developer. I often wear these for long periods of time (3+ hours) when I'm sitting with the computer, and I find them very comfortable. At gigs, I use these to check what is going on at each channel.

I've also played some gigs to a click track, and listened to the click through these cans. In this situation, these headphones don't isolate incoming sound that well, and I found I needed to keep adjusting the level to keep the headphone sound just above the ambient sound from the band. I solved this by also feeding the click to a Buttkicker stool shaker. I believe they do isolate outgoing sound quite well: other people have told me they can't hear what I'm listening to.

I find the sound very clear. Initially I was a bit disappointed to hear a little less bass on my favourite recordings, compared to what I was used to from my previous cheap headphones, but quickly realised that the sound is more accurate, and I can hear many more details than before.

Amazing Headphones

When I came to buy headphones for mixing and monitoring I went for the Beyer DT770's over other models based on reviews I'd read. It turned out to be a great choice as these phones are simply amazing.

Firstly the sound quality is superb and I love creating tracks and listening to music with them on. They give a really detailed sound across the whole frequency range. I've done a lot of first draft mixes on them which are surprisingly accurate when transferred onto the monitors. There's never even a hint of overspill when using them for recording either.

I'm writing this review 6 years after I purchased them so needless to say the build quality is also excellent. I tend to use them a lot at home with the kids around and I also use them as monitors for my electric drum kit so they're in use every day. They're also extremely comfortable and my ears never get sore or tired when using them for long periods of time. Overall I can't recommend these enough, they do everything and they do it well.

Excellent headphones for studio and live use

While the iconic Beyerdynamic DT100s may be a true industry standard, the 770s are certainly a step up and worthy of consideration for both studio and live use. I wouldn't say the sound is entirely neutral but it is certainly very good for the price.

Construction wise these are up to the usual Beyer standards, with a very solid headband and cable attachment. One point I should make though is that is is certainly worth swapping the cable from the straight type it ships with, to a coiled one. This is a relatively easy soldering job and gives you a cable that not only feels higher quality, but won't get caught round your foot when you're standing at the mixing desk.

A key feature of Beyer headphones is that almost every component can be replaced, and that is certainly the case here. From the cable, earpads, headband, drivers and beyond, you should be able to keep this set of headphones lasting for years. I often use another pair that are well over 10 years old, and are still going strong.

So then, the sound! In the low end, these are very faithful and neutral, with a rich bass but never one that feels overpowering or artificially extended. There's now hint of muddiness or boominess, with superb separation, clarity and detail throughout all of the low frequencies.

In the mids, separation remains excellent with plenty of detail to allow you to pick out those all-important mid-freq details when mixing. All genres of music sound excellent though these, although if you really want to be amazed, something along the lines of John Mayer, Kina Grannis or Brooke Fraser is worth a listen through these.

Treble is best described as being slightly extended, and while I enjoy this for listening, it's certainly something to keep in mind when mixing critical recordings. At now point does it sound brittle or harsh, but it is slightly too boosted to be described as neutral.

For live FOH engineers, do keep the DT770Ms in mind which offer greater isolation for use in nosier environments. That said, I chose the standard 770s as I also mix plenty of live recordings, and I've never mad major issues with them in either application.

Great sound quality and very comfortable

I use these in the studio and for live sound and they are perfect. Crisp, clear sound and very comfortable to use for long periods of time. Great value for money, I would highly recommend these!
