Super comfortable, awesome isolation but slightly dull sound

Overall i'm happy with them as the isolation and comfort is the best i've experienced but I wish they were slightly brighter.

Great for isolation

The isolation is great for noisy environments, or if you play drums on loud stages.

Sound wise, there are better headphones at the price point, but none also come with this level of isolation. And anyway, there's not much to complain about, their purpose isnt for high fidelity listening in your audiophile lounge, they're for getting a job done in a loud environment, whether that is as a drum headphones, or PFL listening at the sound booth. They will do the job admirably.

Great for tracking

I wouldn't track drums with them as they are not really great for isolation. But for tracking vocals or acoustic guitars they are enough, plus it's possible to get a good sounding mix to them so the artist would be more into performing as oposed to the ones that are for drummers. Those are good for isolation but usually don't sound that crisp, but these really do sound great and have enough isolation for vocals and for not the most delicate accoustic guitar recording stuff.

understated excellence

Very good understated [non-hype] audio rendition. Dynamic punch and wide soundstage. Lacks very low end sub, but still accurate for kicks and basslines. Underwhelming at first, but so revealing and truthful to your mix. Great audio experience. Comfort is only 4* because the earcups do not rotate [so forget it for dj's], and are a little tight after a few hours on, but not uncomfortable. overall a very good, solid pair of cans. Shame the cable isn't detachable, it could be the first thing to break !... Great for musicians tracking and overdubbing because there is no headphone bleed back into the mics. The isolation works well both ways. Recommended. No nonsense quality.

Beyerdynamic DT 770 M Headphones

The only pair of headphones you’ll ever need!

So comfortable! - Even comfortable for long periods of time, I don’t noice I’m wearing them. I am a glasses wearer so having headphones that are comfortable to wear with my glasses on is an necessity, and these headphones are so comfortable for wearing with glasses!

So clear and crisp audio - with no fake base like you get with lower end products!

The noise cancelling is amazing - even one there no plugged into my headphone, The are like ear defenders, I can’t hear a thing which is brilliant!

The in line volume control is a great feature which work exceptionally!

Would recommend them to anyone as the only headphones you should get!

Love these headphones so much!

Good for drums, too bassy for vocals

They're good headphones overall. Very enjoyable for listening to music, good isolation etc.

But when it comes to monitoring, the sound isn't "flat" at all. It's bassy and you barely hear any high frequencies.

That's fine for drums but for recording vocals, it's hard to hear pronunciation and sibilance.

So to call these "monitor" headphones is a bit of a stretch since it's hard to hear the actual sound that is being recorded.

Not too comfy at first, didn't buy for sound, but for noise isolation these are soooo good.

Very durable, and you can replace parts if they brake.

Best isolation I have tried

Perfect studio headphones for drummers in particular!

I use these headphones in the studio and also during rehearsal sessions both to hear the click and the sequencer tracks but also to isolate myself a little bit from high volumes, they are simply perfect in all these tasks!!! The only little problem is the volume slider on the cable which sometimes, when touched, make disappear the signal on one of the two speakers, otherwise it could be an excellent product.

Nice quality, but lacking in low end isolation

I used to play the acoustic drums so I know the value of a great isolating pair of headphones. These certainly do isolate very well for the most part, but sadly they're lacking in low end isolation, which is a real disappointment. I think if I was using these in a practice or live scenario with a loud bass amp I would have to use earplugs as well to dampen down those lower frequencies. As far as taking these out day to day to listen to music, they certainly do a good job on that front. Being 80 ohms, they're just about loud enough to listen to music on my phone at full volume and block out all the sounds, except again the bass frequencies. I was on a turboprop flight behind a 2-year-old and while it mercifully blocked out any trace of toddler sound, there was no protection against the drone of the propellers, and no option to add earplugs because of the lack of volume. As far as the sound goes, these have a nice balance. Being closed back, they're always going to put pressure on your eardrums, but that's the price you have to pay for the isolation. But again there is a lack of the low end frequencies, which does exacerbate that lack of bass isolation. These are great quality headphones that feel really well put together, and they're very comfortable to wear for hours at a time. It's just a shame that they don't give that full-spectrum isolation I was looking for.

Great Headphones

If you're looking for Headphones to use in tracking these are absolutely the BEST.

The sound is not particular good but the isolation is incredible.

Very disappointing

It's promised that these headphones will isolate very well. The fact is that they isolate poorly. It's difficult to state hands on that these are specific noise isolating headphones, because they isolate just like any other cheap closed headphone.

The sound is flat. No low end, and poor top end. Just a lot of mid frequencies like the sound you get from cheap and very poor headphones.

The construction are fairly robust, so if your kids need some headphones that can take a beating, these may just be the ones.

If price is an issue, then wait and save your money so you later can buy headphones with better qualities than these. Because I'm sorry to say there is nothing about these that justifies the relatively high price.

Luxurious and slick

Studio quality headphones, great for recording or everyday use.

The padding around the cans is a really nice touch, they don't squeeze the head even after hours of use. I wear glasses when I play sometimes too and never had a problem with discomfort or awkward positioning.

Best isolation for studio monitoring

I was in the need of having headphones for recording acoustic instruments, vocals and having a minor noise feedback from clicktrack or underlying tracks, or to set the microphones properly in front of a guitar cab while listening to the DAW output. with these headphones you can really be isolated from outside direct sound a lot, and the feedback from them is really minimized. also, they are comfortable, so much i can easily think of using them daily for outside ambient listening on mp3 player or any audio device.

frequency range is well calibrated and basses don't grow too much.

I've gone deaf!!

Got these to block out noisy PA's when doing a video shoot etc.

Pros

- really quiet and effective when wearing these.

- also useful so that the headphones don't leak sound into the studio condenser mic when doing a vocal.

Cons,

A bit heavy compared to lower spec cans but very comfortable

Quality meets heavy-duty

Very reliable headphones and not just in the quality in sound, but also in the way that these are made.

Perfect for monitoring in the rehearsal-room and, the headphones are also good for mixing. These are very neutral in the sound, and it seems like these don't color the sound in the way that you would expect, but in a good way.

4 stars all in all, in the scoop of headphones to be used in rehearsal rooms and mixing, these are definitely one of the best in the price range around 150 ?.
