– beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Studio Headphones - 250 Ohm

Tldr: Exquisite sound (tested it in my dolby atmos (Onkyo 7:1) receiver, super comfortable for hours on end, particularly love the twisted cord. Primary use is for recording and editing audio books. OK now the longer version. The first use made me cry - the clarity! I love headphones - my oldest 'expensive' pair are the Sennheiser HD 201 which still work. I've just replaced the pads only to notice the plastic coating on the wire has detached from the copper! I also have two Sony sets, wired and Bluetooth. So the DT770 Pro 250ohms. I did a LOT of research - reading reviews and watching videos. Almost bought the Rode NTH100s - but decided against due to issues with clips breaking. No thanks! The DT770s are incredible. Lightweight, extremely comfortable, the twisted cable is a perfect length, excellent and beefy, not going to break any time soon. The sound - glorious and crystal clear. Paired with the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 4th Gen and Rode NT1 mic has given me a powerful studio. Absolutely delighted. These are by far the most expensive headphones I've ever bought, and I am delighted with them. Highly recommend! My only gripe is zero indictation of which side is right and left! No indication that I can see.

I’ve been using the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Studio Headphones (250 Ohm) for years, and they’ve consistently delivered stellar audio quality. They’re easy to use, and their comfortable fit makes them perfect for extended sessions. I use them mainly for gaming. The sound clarity is very good, but for best results, you'll need an amp. Pros: Exceptional Sound Quality Comfortable for Long Sessions. The soft, velour ear pads are incredibly comfortable, even during long hours of wear. The sturdy construction has held up well over years of daily use. Excellent Noise Isolation Cons: The high impedance requires a quality amp for optimal performance. The headphones are great. Though they require an amp for the best experience, the clarity and comfort make them worth every penny. I highly recommend them.

These headphones have almost become a 'gateway drug' into the world of hi-end, audiophile-grade headphones, and it is incredibly easy to see why. First and foremost, the price of (approx) £100 represents exceptional value for money. I'm a headphone guy, and can think of few headphones which offer so much for such relatively little in terms of initial investment. Make no mistake, the DT770 Pro is a HUGE step up from headphones in the £60 - £90 range. Not that there's anything wrong with cheaper headphones, but the Beyer's are in a different league entirely... Second, they are incredibly well built. BeyerDynamic have gone for utilitarian design rather than fashion statement, and this is a good thing. From the sturdy headband to the supremely comfortable ear cups to the thick, high quality cable, these cans will stand up to real world abuse. Finally, and most importantly, the quality of sound is phenomenal. Some listeners have criticised the DT770's as having weak mid range response, but honestly, even though I agree with the criticism, I can honestly say it has not spoiled my listening enjoyment in any way. I listen to an eclectic range of music, from the harshest Norwegian Black Metal, to Dark Wave & Gothic Rock to the bleepiest synthesizer music & chiptunes to the cheesiest 80's pop - these headphones exceed my expectations. There is a price to pay, however, and that is: For headphones in this category, you really do need to provide as hi-fidelity source signal as possible. Don't imagine for one minute that your 128k MP3 files will sound great through these headphones - they will not. The DT770's will show up a poor quality source for what it is. My personal setup consists of a laptop connected to a USB DAC & AMP combo which drives the DT770's. I'm also quite specific about buying digital music in as higher quality as I can. The FLAC vs 320k MP3 can be debated all day, but my own preference is 24-bit or 16-bit FLAC files. Regarding the weak mids, some people prefer to introduce a software or hardware EQ to sort this out. Whilst this may be ok, I'd rather not introduce noise into the chain and enjoy the sounds as rendered by the DT770's unaided. Your mileage may vary, of course... So to summarise, you really can't do much wrong by investing in a pair of DT770's if you want to move up to the next level, but don't want to sink £500 or more on a set of headphones. Also, don't be scared off by the 250 Ohm rating. In my experience, I have yet to find a source which struggles to drive them. My ageing Nexus 4 phone will drive them, albeit with a maxed out volume (so I avoid this generally), my cheap USB audio interface (Lexicon Alpha) drives them superbly and even my laptop (HP Elitebook 8560w) will drive them on full volume, but again - I'd rather just use my USB DAC & Amp (Fiio E7). If you're in the market for a fantastic pair of closed back headphones, I'd have a serious look at the BeyerDynamic DT770's. Recommended without hesitation.

I love these headphones so much, the audio quality is incredible, they feel great on my ears, not too tight, not too loose and they're pretty well built over all......except mine keep dying. I've owned an 80ohm and t̶w̶o̶ THREE 250ohm sets, attached image of my box collection lol I don't use anything crazy, I have a Scarlett Solo audio interface and a Magni Heresy headphone amp both of which keep their volumes at 50%, dead center, never gets touched. Apart from my latest pair which I had lowered the volumes to 40% but they still died. They weren't loud, in fact they were quiet, yet for some reason the right driver just keeps dying. I keep buying new pairs because I'd rather buy a new pair than jump through a billion hoops for warranty which I don't even know if they're covered. Regardless these are amazing headphones, my latest pair recently died but instead of buying a new pair I just bought a new replacement driver and installed it, was super easy, will do that from now on. Thank you Beyerdynamic for making these headphones so user serviceable! [Update 2023] I have now had FOUR separate DT 770's and they've ALL burnt out on the right ear. This is unacceptable. As stated previously, I've never overpowered them, they're 250ohm after all. It's not my amp's fault as my other more expensive headphones work fine and have done for almost 10 years. After this consistent failure rate, I can no longer recommend these headphones. By the way, these are the only headphones with STICKY drivers, I have no idea why Beyerdynamic thought that would be a good idea, but if a HAIR gets through the mesh and touches the driver it'll destroy it.

Great sound and the pads are very very comfortable.

los mios me llegaron antes y logicamente toda una sorpresa para bien,servicio de entrega de primera, el paquete intacto todo en su lugar, ya puestos se puede trabajar horas sin problemas gracias a la calidad de sus orejeras aterciopeladas en este caso color gris los hacen comodos, la diadema tambien es acolchonada y muy comoda, sin duda beyerdynamic DT-770-PRO-32, 250 ohms de mis concentidos, en el estudio me permite trabajar cómodamente y de manera precisa, lógicamente trabajo con diferentes marcas y versiones pues necesitas comparar tu monitoreo pero sin duda la calidad de materiales, asi como la confiabilidad de su sonido a nivel profesional hace que los legendarios DT-770-PRO-32,sigan siendo lo que siempre han sido,toda una leyenda, cada frecuencia en su lugar con una imagen stereofonica abierta que te permite reconocer cada instrumento con balance bien definido captando cada detalle de tu mezcla , un tip para los casos en donde no necesariamente se usen en estudio de audio pero se conecten a dispositivos moviles, ipod, tablets, etc.,las versiones en 32 o 80 ohm, serian la recomendación,sin duda una herramienta de escucha confiable en todos sentidos que recomiendo !.

yıllardır kullanıyorum. gerçekten bu fiyata alınabilecek en iyi kulaklıklardan bir tanesi. yazın izmir sıcağında bile belli bir süre rahatsız etmeden kullanılabiliyor.

Very very nice. Excellent sound. Bass is awesome. Very comfortable on ears. Finally a nice pair of headphones from Amazon. I'd recommend if you want an excellent pair for your home stereo.

I do have an audiophile ears, but I do not own any audiophile equipment. Recently I bought a Yeti Plus microphone that has an audio jack for monitoring audio. So, I plugged in my Bose QC35 headphones, using the 3.5 mm audio cable, and it sounded OK. But, it didn't sound great. I decided to subscribe to Apple Music to see what the music sounds like via this setup. It was nothing to write home about. I then plugged the same QC35 headphones to my 2021 Apple M1 Pro MacBook Pro (14"), and it sounded exactly like it did out of the Yeti X microphone's headphone jack. I decided to research and see why the quality was so low. I don't normally listen to music, but I couldn't imagine that the Apple Music streamed (even at the highest selectable quality) would be so unremarkable. So, I looked up the impedance of the audio jack of the Yeti X microphone, and I realized that it's a high-impedance audio output. Then, I looked up the 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro specs, and what do you know? It also has a high-impedance output audio jack (unlike the 2020 M1 MacBook and MacBook Pro). So, then I googled what impedance should the headphones have for high-impedance audio outputs and learned that the impedance of the headphones should be at least 8-10 times of the impedance of the audio output in Ohms. Hence, I started the search for the high-impedance headphones. I've read hundreds of reviews, and I finally found the DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm headphones. They were well reviewed, they were relatively inexpensive, they they had a version with 250 Ohm of impedance (which is about 8 times as high as the audio output of the Yeti X audio jack). So, I decided to try these headphones. I ordered them and received them the next day via Amazon Prime shipping. As soon as I plugged them in and started the stream from Apple Music, my jaw dropped. This is what I was looking for, and here it is. Unbelievable I could get a jack pot on the first attempt for under $200 and especially becasue they are made in Germany. How is this even possible? Now, are they comfortable to wear? To me, they are a little too tight. Are they worse than the Bose QC35 when it comes to comfort? Maybe Bose QC35 are a little more comfortable. But, when it comes to the sound, OMG. There is no comparison. Unless you want to pay many times more for premium high-impedence headphones just to get a better fit, then go ahead and get the ones for $1500, $2500, etc. Otherwise, these are amazing when it comes to the audio quality. Can anyone tell that these are better than the QC35? Yes, anyone can tell unless you use these 250 Ohm ones with a low-impedance audio output like in smartphones, older MacBooks, etc. Now, my son has a 2020 M1 MacBook Air, which is an excellent laptop, but it has a low-impedance audio jack output. So, for my son, I've ordered an 80-ohm version to compare to my 250-ohm version. I will let him decide which one to go with. I'd suggest getting both the 80-Ohm and the 250-Ohm version and compare them side by side - as long as you are getting these headphones for a decent piece of audio equipment. If you are getting them for an iPhone (not sure why you would), then maybe you should go with the lowest-impedence version. Edit: I've now compared the 250 Ohm version to the 80 Ohm version. In the beginning, I couldn't tell any difference when using them with my Yeti X microphone's high-impedance audio out jack and the 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro high-impedance audio jack. However, the more I listened to both, the more I started hearing the difference. I then switched to testing both 250 Ohm and the 80 Ohm headsets exclusively with the 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro's high-impedance audio jack because it turned out that the Yet X audio jack shows its shortcomings when music with serious bass is played out of it. In my opinion, the 250 Ohm headset reproduces the sounds more accurately. When listening to Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes (on Apple Music lossless), I could actually hear some imperfection in the bass guitar (like the string was moved under the player's finger accidentally, resulting in a little distortion), while I couldn't hear this through the 80 Ohm headset. When listening to Bohemian Rhapsody Remastered in 2011 on Apple Muisci (lossless), It appears that mids and the highs are a bit dulled down through the 80 Ohm headset, whereas they are crystal clear through the 250 Ohm headset. We are talking here very subtle differences that can only be detected while listening to the same piece over and over again via both headsets (back to back). It appears that the best songs recommended for testing headsets are: 1. Bohemian Rhapsody Remastered (2011) by Queen. ... 2. Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. ... 3. Feels Like We Only Go Backwards by Tame Impala. ... 4. Heroes (2017 Remaster) by David Bowie. ... 5. No Time for Caution by Hans Zimmer. ... 6. Diamonds From Sierra Leone by Kanye West. ... 7. Now We Are Free by Hans Zimmer Additionally, I was using the 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro's audio jack (which auto-senses high-impedance and low-impedance headphones). I'm not sure what it does for the 80 Ohm headphones: does it consider them low-impedance or high-impedance because, in reality, they are medium-impedance headphones. Compared to other laptops, the 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro probably has a decent-quality pre-amp and DAC similar to inexpensive (less than $200) standalone DACs with pre-amps. So, perhaps to hear the difference between the 80 Ohm and 250 Ohm versions of this headset, one should use decent audio equipment. My son hasn't yet tested the two headsets with his 2020 M1 MacBook Air, so I'm not sure which one he decides on. I will post another update later.
