Beyerdynamic - DT 770 PRO

DT770 PRO are my favourite studio headphone. I am using it for past decade or so. Each time I buy one pair of these headphone, it will last for atleast 7 to 8 years. And this my 4th DT770 PRO and 2nd of 250 Ohms model. I prefer to 250 Ohms or 80 Ohms because my purpose is to use it in my home studio to perform some playback and mixing of recordings with my mixer and amp. Even for daily use, these headphone will serve you for several years. If stored in a proper studio room without any rat problems these will never go off. The 250 ohms model has got velvet earcups that could absorb sweat, which might smell after some time. For me is not a problem as I use it in Air Conditioned room. Coming to the sound quality, if you use it with your mobile I would suggest to have an amp (particularly for 80 or 250 ohms) as you would be able to feed the headphones the required sound power or else you will have a feeling of having a earring placed inside a container truck (depends on the mobile or player you use). You can also think of some software player with pre-amp effects like Neutron. If you are an audiophile and planning to use them inside your studio, you will be more than 100% satisfied on their sound they produce. They are more balanced with very little inclination towards bass and highlights the chills of treble a bit. But they are very minute to my knowledge. The natural reproduction will induce you to spend more time in your studio. Cristal clear crispy sound. The build quality of these headphone is amazing. It fell a lot of time in my studio and never had any problem using them back. Very sturdy.
Sound - 4.5/5
Built - 5/5
Value for money - 5/5
Accessories - 4/5 They are not meant for portable purpose. For Studio purpose it is enough a pouch and 6.35mm plug

Of all the sub ₹15K I tried, these are my pick.
They have a great sub bass, deep. A very nice treble extension, the bass and treble are escalated quite a bit, a lot actually. But this will not distract you from the mids.

Although it is a V-shape sounding headphone, it is quite aggressive in presenting the details. Everything sounded quite the way it should, not neutral, but still very good.

The soundstage is okay, it is what you'd expect from a closed headphone.

All tracks I tried were lovely to listen to on the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. I didn't find them harsh. Treble was sure accentuated but not in a fatiguing way.

The balance was missing though. Being accentuated a lot, these tend to have a very flat soundstage. The imaging is not good, detials are audible, but you won't be able pin-point them in the already narrow'ish soundstage they produce. Nonetheless, their soundstage is better than Audio Technica ATH-M50x, but Ultrasone Performance 820, Brainwavz HM5 have better soundstage. Although, imaging (presentation/precision) is better on these compared to Ultrasone Performance 820. Brainwavz HM5 have the best presentation of all.

Team,

These are my 3rd Beyerdynamic product - DT 770 Pro 250, A200p and now DT 770 Pro 32. No doubt, these are one of the best monitor headphones I have used for the price. I do use Marshall Monitor and B&W P7 while traveling. I use DT770 Pros with Schitt Magni on desktop with Garageband.
Now, these headphones (32 ones) that I got delivered did not match the original shipping I got for 250 ones. Looks more like it was opened and then repacked with cheap cover cover (could have been used for internal quality test purpose - can't guarantee my claim though). I have the pics when I unboxed if you would like to see :)
Emphasizing again - No issues with the quality of headphones, but the packaging just turned me off big time, and may be I will be hesitant picking new cans from HeadphoneZone unless I could be guaranteed that I get first hand manufacture provided stuff with this purchase :P
But then, thanks for being available in India with such great variety of products - you have certainly raised the expectations in this market for music enthusiastic. Appreciate the work you guys do!

The Beyerdynamic DT770 80 Ohm has been around for several decades and hence many people have many opinions about it, and here is mine. First lets talk about this headphones’ namesake, i.e. “80 Ohm”, I thought I would need an amp for driving this headphone but it runs loud and proud in my ASUS ROG GL 552 laptop and Lenovo Vibe K5 and Asus Zenfone mobiles. But you can get an amp if you like listening to music at really high volumes.

Now, lets talk about how these headphones sound. Many people have complained or claimed that these headphones are very flat sounding. Well, this claim can be true and false at the same time. Technically these headphones have a treble and a bass boost that I am enjoying greatly. But I have seen that people who are into electronic music or hip hop have a tendency to call these headphones flat because of its subdued mid bass. These headphones focuses more on the sub-bass, so it is fine and downright amazing for people who are into metal, rock, indie or Western Classical. A special mention here for acoustic music- my God, acoustic music somehow sounds just heavenly in these cups, I don’t know why though.

These headphones are for monitoring and you realise straight away why they have been in production for the last several decades. The sound is crystal clear, soundstage is extremely wide and imaging is just terrific.

Make and comfort: These headphones are a mixture of steel and plastic and each part is replaceable. But why you will need replacing is beyond me since they have been made so sturdily. The ear pads are made of velour and covers my ears completely, this not only guarantees amazing comfort but also allows the sound to gently bounce off my outer ear into my ear drum which creates a sensation of high definition surround sound.

I would highly recommend these headphones, just buy them and discover new aspects to your music that you never realised existed.

I narrowed down my choices to DT770 Pro and the ATH M50x and decided to go for the DT770 Pro 32 Ohm. This is one of the best sounding cans I've tried and for the price on HeadphoneZone its a killer deal. I've rediscovered songs I've been listening to. IMHO acoustic songs sound great on these. These are not very comfortable if you have slightly larger ears like me. I changed the earpads for a pair of Brainwavz HM5 velours and they are much more comfortable now, although the clamping force is still a bit too much for my liking. My only gripe is that there's no volume control on the cable and it comes with a flimsy cloth bag. Really, how much does it cost to give a hard carry case? The non-removable cable can be a deal-breaker for some but given that Beyerdynamics claims that all parts are replaceable, that shouldn't matter. Not that you'd have to worry about the cable ever, the build quality is that good.

Coming from an old and trusty Grado GR80, which is by far my favourite headphone for a long time now, I wanted to get a closed ear set when I finally got myself this 32 ohm DT770 Pro. The price at HEADPHONE ZONE made it an easy decison over the 990 Pros that I was eyeing previously.

I have burned this for about 15-20 hours and find that these have sufficiently opened up with a smoother treble and sub bass. These are comfortable but the leatherette cups get warm after some 20-30 minutes of use leading to sweaty ears.

The build is solid Infact a lot better than my Grados, Senns and AKGs. I may go for the aftermarket velour cups soon.

I was surprised how nice and airy these are considering that these are closed cans and even the soundstage is much bigger than I expected. Bass is nice and does not bleed a lot into the mids which is really nice to have at this price point. I had read earlier that these are bright but I did not find them to be as bright as I had thought they would be, and after the burn in I find them a lot smoother.

I still prefer my Grados for rock, classic rock and classical stuff. The 770s are good for the more popular genres.

These are sensitive enough to use directly on my phone but sound more open and powerful with my old Fiio amp (need to upgrade soon)

These are still early days. Saving up for the 1990 pro now :)

Thanks Headphonezone, great service !! I got my headphone within 24 hrs with a complementary headphone stand. Looks great !! Simple sturdy and durable design and can be easily chucked inside your travel bag even though it is not foldable. My first Beyers was the DT990 pro 250 ohms version (bought from HZ as well) which opened my world to professional head phones as well as open back style. I was looking for similar Beyer sound with a headphone of lower impedance and was always thinking about DT990 edition rated at 32 ohms. DT 770 is known for it's sound stage even with a closed back style which cuts ambient noise to some extent and the 32 ohm edition at a low wer price is a bonus! The sound is so true and rich in all frequencies, good thumping bass if you eq it slightly, sweet mids (much better than DT 990), excellent instrument separation and voice sounds so real without any resonance (I had observed it on my Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 compared to DT 990 pro open back). It is a delight with just iPods, no need for any amps. Overall it is great buy for even casual music listeners. You will be delighted and immerse in your music if you feed the right stuff in.
