Beyer Dynamic DT 1770 PRO Closed Studio Reference Headphones, Black, 17.78 x 21.59 x 10.16 cm

Bought with my own cash money. Update IV --- 23/2/16 --- Ditched the A20 as treble detail was a little bit lacking and the bass had a tendency to be slightly overwhelming (only a tad - but enough to cause brain annoyance!) which I'm putting down to the power output of the amplifier as I had a similar issue with my high output tube amp. I preferred the sound signature of the DT1770's plugged straight into my iPad but it didn't go loud enough on some recordings and lacked some body (Brilliant for modern well mastered tracks so if that's your bag - you don't need an amp!). I've since switched to the Oppo HA-2 which has a good clean neutral sound and with its low gain switch the bass is once again perfect and no loss of any resolution whatsoever. Killer combo. Keeper for Defo (and no more updates!!). Update III --- 25/12/15 ---- Now paired with Beyerdynamic A20 Amplifier - Just Wow! Really opens these babies up! I thought they were great without an amp and even better when paired with my Fiio E12a but paired with the A20 these are sublime. Expensive but worth it (Someone burgled my house xmas eve and took my Sony MDR-Z7 but left my Beyers! Silver lining and all that!). Update II --- 23/11/15 --- After more research (and reading Dale Thorns review - who I usually agree with) I found out that these may not match well with tube amps so bought them again and paired them with my Fiio E12A and these are like a different headphone. Maybe my original pair had a slight driver mismatch but the boomy bass and slightly distant mids along with a slightly higher volume in the left ear have all been rectified with this pair! I've been amazed that these have such powerful deep bass when its present on a recording but when the track doesn't have any bass these stay faithful to the original recording and don't add any extra colouring. Truly amazing and not something I have heard on any other headphone. So glad I tried them again! Although the DT150's are still amazing value for money I think I will be keeping the DT1770's and retiring my tube amp. Update --- 6/11/15 ---- Now sold! After Extensive A/B testing against my £96 Beyer DT150 250 ohm through my Littledot II MKII tube amp I've come to the conclusion that there isn't enough difference to justify the extra £350. I've EQ'd the mid bass down a few Db and this has brought the tanklike DT150's to life. I was amazed at the difference it made. Plus the Mids are more present on the DT150's which is a shame as I wanted to love the 1770's but they just didn't do it for me to justify keeping them. Original review --- Having lived with the DT770 250 ohm for years I was on the fence about these given the higher price but I finally bit the bullet and they certainly are exquisite. Build quality is always top notch with Beyer but these have an added layer of luxury to the usual utilitarian materials and styling. Hifiguy 528 (Hifi insider) Mike on YouTube had it right when he said the DT770's feel like a toy next to these! Check his unboxing for a peek at all the bits n bobs and the materials etc. I usually love neutral headphones with a bit of oomph (Oppo PM3 are the stand out ones for me) but I've always loved the bass on my DT770's as it just thunders through my bones with an amp. What I've never loved is the extremely bright treble. Sure it's great for detail but the Oppo PM3 showed me you could still have the treble detail without the sibilant peaks that the DT770/880/990 line is infamous for. I always found myself EQ'ing the Mids up slightly on the 770's with their V-shaped sound signature. And basically the DT1770 addresses all these issues for me. You get all the Bass loveliness of the 770's but with a more present midrange and a perfect treble (to my ears). I've seen some reviewers say that even the 1770 has a peaky treble but I don't see how that can be the case! It's just right and very welcome! The bass also has more texture on the 1770's (something I had never heard before! Bass texture!? But yep you can get a real sense of it with these). But are they worth the price hike? Well as always it's subjective but if for whatever reason you're like me and can't use open backs then these I reckon are as close as you can get to a high end open back sound in closed back form and still keep the price below £500! The sound stage is certainly very 'open' for a closed back can and certainly not as congested as the Oppo PM3's. What's more these being Tesla drivers they are extremely efficient and run to substantial listening levels straight out of my IPhone 5s despite them being 250 ohm (a hell of a lot louder than my 770 250 ohm anyway! Weird!). I've now got them running through my LittkeDot II MKII Tube amp and they sound great. Hope some of this helps. Stew

I won't go into great detail over the headphones as I don't feel I have an adequate knowledge of terminology within the audiophile realm. What's my story? I bought a pair of Oppo PM-3's which by all accounts are a great pair of headphones. I also bought the the Oppo HA-2 portable Amp/DAC paired with my iphone 6s for streaming music via Tidal HiFi for some great music listening on the go. Oppo's PM-3's however, fell short when it came to the heavy rock/metal music genre. Bass boosting on the HA-2 helped a little but I was underwhelmed due to the loss of detail accross the bass and high's. Granted, listening to songs where the bass is the dominant factor the Oppo PM-3's will blow you away, but when listening to bands such as Slipknot, American Head Charge, Meshuggah and the likes [Metal genre] the individual drums and symbols were overwhemled by the mids that bite my ears off at high volume levels. I would have stuck with the PM-3's had there been more kick with the bass drum but it just wasn't there. So, I gave the DT 1770 Pro's a try and straight away the sound that I knew could be had from this type of music came alive, and thankfully without compromise to the other types of music I'd listen to such as hip-hop, drum and bass, folk, and classical. The only thing I miss from the PM-3's is the headrumbling bass when listening to songs such as Ludacris - Area Codes (this was my go-to comparison song of choice) but you'll still get plenty of bass with the DT 1770 Pro's, it won't dominate in the same way. For some of you, that might be exactly what you're hoping to read. I realise this might sound strange that I comment on how the bass is dominant and yet the kick of the bass drum is lacking; again this is my specific metal music disappointment of the PM-3's. Other reviews on the internet will discuss that not much (if any) sound equalizing is required to enjoy the DT 1770 Pro's, and I would agree with them. The Oppo HA-2 (or any amplifier) is not essential with these headphones if you're like me and plan to plug them straight into a phone such as the iphone, but the potential of these headphones is realised with an Amp. I'm very pleased with them, the comfort level is top notch, it feels like a premium product. The looks are clean and simple, but it doesn't out-style the PM-3's in my opinion. In terms of a headphone to enjoy all types of music with a mindset of no fuss plug-n-play I'd wholeheartedly recommend the DT 1770 Pro's. TLDR: 9.4/10 -0.3 Amp required to realise their full potential (not surprising as they're not purpose built for portability) -0.3 Looks good, but not great when compared to Oppo PM-3's

These replaced some HD650s which had been modded to improve the bass. What a difference. The DT1770 Pro was so much better all round but particularly the bass. They need 300 hours burning in before you experience what they are capable of. So much detail. I have a fully differential amplifier (balanced), so to take advantage of the diffential output from the amp I modded the phones. I already use Custom cans cable (much better than the supplied cable) I replaced the jack plug with a 4 pin xlr at one end, at the other end i fitted a mini 4 pin xlr plug. On the headphones I replaced the 3 pin mini xle socket with a 4 pin mini xlr socket. Next I rewired the cabling inside the phones as per the 4 pin mini xlr standard, thereby separating left and right channels and removing the shared return of the original setup. Boy was that worth doing! The DT1770 headphones have now moved up another quality level. I still after listening for many am stunned at how much detail these headphones can deliver. I use the Topping A90 Descrete Amplifier, Topping E70 Velvet DAC, IFI Zen Steam.

1st pair arrived with faulty right speaker distorting. Returned, with replacement working fine. In summary; good pair of cans; recommend you have a decent quality source that can supply enough power for them otherwise they can sound a touch quiet and slightly 'thin'. Replaceable ear muffs and cable should considerably prolong lifespan. Detail: Bought to upgrade from Philips Fidelio M2s (first pair lasted 20 months, 2nd about 6 before disintegrating hence concern about lifespan). Sound and build quality knock the Philips into a cocked hat. Use almost exclusively with iPhone 6 and Oppo HA-2 DAC/amp (also from Amazon) for pleasure. 3 reasons for this; 1) the headphones can take a bit of driving (esp. with older 'pre-loudness war' recordings), and can be a bit quiet on their own; not inaudible, but occasionally not quite loud enough. 2) slight emphasis on treble when straight from iPhone, which can be wearing after a while (though less so for listening to podcasts and the like). 3) Oppo makes everything sound better :-) So, for Oppo and iPhone combo... Sound is clear and crisp from deep bass to high treble. Bass never sounds muddied and treble rarely sounds grating. However, using the iPhone app EQu for the past 5 years or so, I've always dialled-in a kick for higher frequencies to compensate for my aging hearing. Not doing this with the 1770's (use completely flat profile) which may indicate a built-in treble spike. Comfort-wise, they're light and sit well over the ears. I start to notice the headband on the top of my (massive) head after about 90mins, but a slight re-jig stops any discomfort. Often wear for 4 hrs at a time with no fatigue on ears or head. Bit bulky for transporting esp. with carry case (I bought Slappa case to more-snuggly contain them). Good build quality (faulty first pair aside....); now about 6 months old and as good as new. Cons: 1) Did feel a bit of a berk taking the outside at first for walk into work, bit that fades with time. 2) Slight faff to carry-around the virtually essential Oppo.

I haven’t heard Senn’s 820 yet but these remind me of the T70p, but just better, and a whole lot more. Price tag is warrranted. I stupidly sold the T70p for the T5p thinking I’d get more of the same. How wrong I was. The DT1770 for me at least, are end game closed backs, I own HD800S and these cans (DT1770) are not shamed at all. They need a Dragonfly Red DAC/Amp as a minimum to push them to adequate levels. Strangely my iPad Pro 10.5” drives them with more authority than a 2013 Mac Pro or MacBook Air but remains album dependent. If you like the Beyer house sound, look no further. My critical subjective thoughts: Soundstage (for a closed back) - 9/10 Comfort - 9.5/10. They are slightly on the heavy ish side compared to DT770 but don’t let this put you off. I can wear them for 5-8 hours without any problem. Detail - 9.5/10. From the lows to the highs, they sound just right. Bass could be more defined, hence the .5 but as a bass head, it isn’t a problem. Vocals are beautiful. Keepers!

I've been using M50x for 5 years and don't regret it because for £100 it's the best value for money but if you want that next level sound you need to spend around £300 on audiophile headphones and the DT 1770 Pro does just that. It's so good in instrument separation and the detail is next level with huge prefect bass that doesn't destroy the mids or highs. If you like some bass with detail this is the headphone to get. The comfort is excellent, way better then my m50x were it hurt my ears after 2 hours. These don't hurt at all. Please bear in mind that you'll required to use a dac. I've a dragonfly cobalt dac which improves the sound dramatically but please invest atleast on a decent dac as I've used these on my onboard supremefx mobo and it's not good. As you're just better off just getting a £100 headphone without a dac, due to the fact that you'll be bottlenecked by your onboard audio if you buy expensive headphones which will only get 30% of its potential without a dac. Just a heads up.

Top quality sound and build as expected from a Beyerdynamic product at this price level. I bought these to replace a pair of Sony MDR1 phones which had also received excellent reviews but which I returned to Amazon as I found the sound lacking in dynamic range and too congested. Admittedly the Beyerdynamic are two to three times the cost of the Sony’s but I have a good CD player, Cyrus CDi and Roksan turntable plus Roksan amp so the extra outlay is justified. Unlike the Sony’s the Beyers are clear, transparent, dynamic and respond in a linear fashion to increased volume levels. I’m sure that the headphone output of the amp is pretty good but no doubt a dedicated headphone amp will bring even greater benefit. As we increasingly rely on reviews but don’t always have the opportunity to try products out for ourselves I cannot say that these are the”best” headphones at this price range, or the most suitable for your needs, but I definitely will not be returning them! Unlike with the Sony’s I have to stop myself from playing record after record as these Beyer’s are truthful and musical, slightly warm, and can play loud. Highly recommended. BTW I also own a pair of Grado 80’s which are superb but the sound leakage is not well received by those around me. Package received on time and in excellent condition. Thank you.

I had the ath-m50x, the dt770, dt1990, hyperx cloud alpha s (a very good clone of the dt770, very similar sound), hifiman Sundaram, and while I'm not some big audiophile, I do enjoy good quality music. I use the sound blaster ae-5 sound card, and listen to mp3 320kbps, as I can't hear any difference between that and flac. And personally, these are the best headphones I ever used. Clear sound, can pick up all the little details, very good bass and I like the warm and trebely beyerdynamic signature sound that some people don't. Only complaint is the pads are short, not enough height between the headphone cup and ear, I had to buy bigger ones as I couldn't get a proper seal on my head, and if I did, even a small movement would ruin it.

J’en ai testé plusieurs pour remplacer mon Sennheiser HD800, et au final c’était celui dont la sonorité me convenait le mieux. Très détaillé, et avec une bonne présence des basses (j’écoute de la musique orchestrale, classique, et musique de films). D’autres utilisateurs parlaient de la pression sur la tête, autour de l’oreille. C’est vrai que pour moi, je l’ai senti assez au début. Mais avec le temps, je m’y suis fait. En le portant je la sens encore, sans que ça soit négatif. Par contre le cable, au contact de mes vêtements, transmettait un bruit de frottement assez fort dans l’écouteur gauche. J’ai remplacé par un cable générique non-tressé commandé sur Amazon et a ça bien amélioré le problème.

Ottimo prodotto. Anche i materiali sono ottimi. In passato ho sempre avuto prodotti di una famosa marca concorrente. Forse la qualità di riproduzione era leggermente superiore ma la "build quality" decisamente inferiore. Molto soddisfatto.

Super bon son , cette paire d’écouteurs se vendant pas loin de 1000$ avant , mais la version tesla supérieure à prit la place . Donc excellent deal 🤝 perso j’adore , basse médium et haut ⬆️ parfait à mon avis . Je crois que c’est le casque. Ps: j’ai coller un micro 🎤 aimant 🧲 gaming dessus , le fait que c’est un casque fermé c’est parfait ( je préfère avoir plus de basse , que casque ouvert ou le son est plus froid

Beyerdynamic ha mejorado la calidad de construcción, la comodidad y el diseño del DT 770 Pro. Este nuevo modelo tiene un aspecto más atractivo, acabados decentes y un diseño sólido. los auriculares viene con dos cables extraíbles, un estuche para el protegido y un par de almohadillas adicionales. Con un precio de venta más alto, cabría esperar que se corrigieran los principales defectos.Se encuentra entre los mejores auriculares Beyerdynamic en términos de calidad de construcción, por mi parte solo puedo recomendarlos

Kopfhörer haben es bei mir grundsätzlich eher schwer. Denn meine Quadral Vulkan MK III aus dem Ende der 80er lassen sich kaum ersetzen. Aber den Nachbarn zuliebe geht es halt leider oft nicht anders :) Ich versuche, hier kurz und bündig, T51p, T70p, den Aventho Wired und den DT-1770 PRO zu vergleichen (wobei der 1770 PRO außer Konkurrenz läuft - er ist mit 250 Ohm nicht für unterwegs gedacht). Alle habe ich zuhause! Grundsätzliches: bis auf den DT-1770 PRO sind alle für den Betrieb an mobilen Geräten (Notebook, Smartphone, mp3-Player) ausgelegt, deshalb haben sie eine Impedanz von 32 Ohm. Alle KH arbeiten nach dem geschlossenem Prinzip und sind "Handmade in Germany". Der T51p und der Aventho Wired sind "OnEar" (liegen also auf der Ohrmuschel auf), T70p und DT-1770 PRO sind "OverEar" und umschließen das Ohr. Innere Werte (T51p vs. T70p vs. Aventho Wired vs. DT-1770 PRO): Frequenz: 10-23.000 Hz vs. 5-40.000 Hz vs. 10–40.000 Hz vs. 5-40.000 Hz Widerstand: 32 Ohm (250 Ohm beim DT-1770 Pro) Nominal SPL: 111 dB vs. 104 dB vs. 105 dB vs. 102 dB Gewicht: 174 g vs. 330 g vs. 210 g vs. 388 g Äußere Werte: Die beiden OnEar sehen sehr schick aus (besonders der Aventho) und sind gut verarbeitet. Zudem haben sie die deutlich bessere Materialanmutung als der T70p - bei T51p und Aventho ist fast alles in Metall ausgeführt, wogegen der T70p aus viel Plastik besteht. Bei T51p/Aventho knarzt und knackt nichts, beim T70p dann doch schon mal deutlich. Die Verarbeitung des DT-1770 PRO (als zweiten OverEar-Vertreter) ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben, der Lieferumfang erstaunlich umfangreich, das Design zeitlos und schlicht. Besonders zu erwähnen ist das über XLR Stecker zu wechselnde Kabel, was einen sehr professionellen Eindruck hinterlässt, ähnlich wie der aufschraubbare 6,35mm Klinken-Adapter. Persönlicher Höreindruck: - Meinen letzten Platz belegt der T70p. Seine Höhen empfinde ich als ziemlich anstrengend und der Bass ist mir zu schwach ausgeprägt. @ beyerdynamic: was ist hier bei der Entwicklung/Abstimmung schief gelaufen?! Er geht zum Gamen an den PC. :( - Der T51p schwächelt zwar hörbar bei den Höhen,erzeugt aber wesentlich mehr "Druck" was den Bass anbelangt. Somit ist und bleibt er trotz Schwächen bei den Höhen mein mobiler Begleiter (wo HiFi nicht die oberste Prämisse ist) und macht mir hier viel Spaß. - Klarer Sieger der mobilen Begleiter ist der Aventho wired! Er bietet deutlich mehr Höhen als der T51p, ohne jedoch anstrengend zu wirken wie der T70p. Auf der anderen Seite hat er (dank OnEar) zum T51p vergleichbaren Punch und begeistert mich auch hier. - Der DT-1770 PRO ist in Summe gesehen meine absolute Referenz. Er bietet ähnlich angenehm weiche und dennoch klare und präsente Höhen, wie der Aventho. Seine Mitten sind zwar etwas schwächer ausgeprägt als beim Aventho, ich empfinde das aber als sehr angenehm. Die Bässe reichen nochmal deutlich tiefer als beim Aventho, bleiben aber trotzdem knackig und präzise. Eine so detailreiche Bass-Widergabe hab ich bei einem Kopfhörer bis jetzt nicht gehört. Aufgrund von Größe, Gewicht und el. Widerstand ist er aber eher für zuhause zu empfehlen (wobei er am SONY NW-A45 Walkman auch keine schlechte Figur macht!). Mein bevorzugtes Musikstück für die Vergleiche: The Rainbow - Groove Project Arabia & Three Fall Band Gruß, rt
