Where to get it
DT 770 Comfort
The first thing we’ve noticed about the DT770’s is the comfort.
These things are light on the head and the circumaural design gives our ears loads of room, this moves the pressure away from the ears reducing the fatigue we might otherwise expect. If you have
If you’re looking to use these in the studio you’re going to enjoy some long use, but like all closed back Cans, you can expect some warmth to occur over long periods. A cool studio will be fine, and if your commuting then these are perfect.
Noise Isolation
The DT 770
If you are in an office you’ll forget there are people around you. If you’re in the studio you’re going to be able to focus 100% on the signal you mixing or mastering.
Audio Quality
The advent of the 32 Ohm model makes the DT 770 great for people wanting to use these for music only and general use with portable devices – offices, commuters, home listening, etc. It’s important to remember that these are designed for professional use – studios, recording musicians, etc.
So if you’re an audiophile remember these are designed to let you hear all the frequencies and instruments separated and balanced. They do this extremely well.
We love the sound of these because of that, they provide great instrument separation and isolation. The DT 1350 also does this well and Beyerdynamic should be applauded for keeping such great quality headphones at affordable prices.
If you’re looking across the $200-$250 price range your probably going to end up looking at the ATH-m50x also, which is a bestseller – we’d suggest if you’re into hearing music like a musician then these should be in your line up also.
These are cleaner and more balanced, the m50x gives a little more boost to some frequencies which
We also tried some classical and expected the sound stage to be a little muted or close with a closed-back headphone – well…they weren’t, in fact, the sound stage was open, the instruments separated and overall one of the better balances we’ve heard for classical. Bravo
Bass Notes
The bass on these is there, strong and not overpowering. It’s not boosted and isn’t overly tight. We tried some Sia and then some Ellie Goulding as they both have multi-layers of acoustic and machined generated audio.
The vocals remained the star of the show with these which was nice. The heavy synth was sitting down deep and solid in the bottom which was perfect. You could play with the Bass in mastering to tighten more than the Studio mix.
Mid Notes
The mids on the Beyerdynamic dt-770 pro are great. They are there, natural and not overpowering which is better than most units at this price.
It’s so easy at this price range to end up with mids that are artificial or over-processed. These mids are very true to life – the midpoint in the vocal range is really nice and we can imagine listening to these for long periods of time without experiencing fatigue.
They remind us of a good SM58 – affordable, solid and natural sound reproduction.
Mixing with these would be enjoyable and we can imagine you’ll end up with a better end product having cans that produce true to life mids.
Highs (Treble)
The highs were not over the top and will sit well with most people’s listening tastes. We put on Pink Floyd’s – What Do You Want From Me because if anything is going to bring out the crisp top end it’s a Dave Gilmour solo.
We like a sibilance so we wouldn’t have complained if there was a touch more
