beyerdynamic DT-770 M 4-stars Reviews

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.

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.

GREAT FOR DRUMMER

GOOD ISOLATION & BEAUTIFUL HIGH frequency (cymbal sound)

but You should boost it to 100hz

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.

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 ?.

Great headphones for a drummer!

I have had these for over two years now, and I'm very pleased with them. They sound good and balanced, and I don't need to worry about damaging my hearing when I play drums with them. Sometimes I only have a metronome on, sometimes I play with a demo track, and sometimes it's just fun to play along with my favorite albums. The Beyerdynamic DT-770 M headphones are very good for all of those situations. I have found them especially useful in studio sessions. I have tried many different headphones, and these have been hands down the best ones for recording drums. There's no need for additional earplugs and the Beyerdynamics feel comfortable even in long sessions.

The only negative thing about these headphones is the fact that the low frequencies feel sometimes a bit too "boomy" for my taste. But it's a very small issue, and it's a matter of taste anyway. All and all, the headphones sound great, and I would definitely recommend them to all my drummer-friends!

Nice headphones for drum recording

These are THE headphones for drum recording. I use rather loud click tracks and I always used to have problems with click bleeding into the mics. With these headphones I get 98% less bleed which is the best result I've had with any headphones. So these are really great for monitoring when tracking down drums. They also feel ok although I would prefer a little bigger cushions.

The sound isn't as great as in my DT250's so I won't be using these for mixing or listening to music. I would say they sound decent, but not good. But hey, they weren't designed for producers and when tracking drums they sound just fine. If you want the better sounding version just go with the regular DT-770's.

The overall quality is really good as you would expect from Beyerdynamic.

Great headphones for a drummer

Very comfortable headphones, could cancel a couple more decibels of environmental noice in my opinion, but okay this way too. Good quality of sound. Suitable for studio work, practice or even live playing. Own volume knob is useful also.
