Product Description
For decades, the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO has been a mainstay in studios worldwide. Taking that identity to heart, Beyerdynamic has re-released this time-tested standard under a new name: DT 770 STUDIO Read More
I just wanted to point out that these are great sounding headphones.
If you are thinking about buying, don’t get caught up in the rubbish talk here suggesting these are somehow inferior compared to it’s 250ohm brother for example.
They aren’t. More ohm’s does not equal better sounding headphones. It doesn’t make them any less ‘audiophile’.
They are horses for courses and the majority of times a good pair of 80ohm headphones will sound just as good, if not better, than any other.
Lastly, there are even comments made here that 250ohm headphones sound better but ‘need’ a DAC.....does it get any more ridiculous?
Most people get Dekoni pads because they’re much more comfortable than stock. For example, the stock pads on the HD58x Jubilees are way too shallow for me and clamp my jaw, but the Dekoni pads are infinitely more comfortable. It doesn’t matter how good they sound if you can’t wear them for more than 10 minutes. The sound difference with Dekonis is negligible to my ears.
bamacolbyDef a great point. Plus if they don’t fit properly, the sound is dramatically altered anyway. Gotta go with fit first and foremost imo. Unfortunate but that’s life 🤷🏼♂️
Great headphones. The BeyerDynamic DT770 is fantastic but only get the 80 ohm version if you plan on using them with a phone or other low output device. Otherwise get the 250 ohm version (which can be found for the same price).
Rowdy2026If you'll notice we are talking about the same headphone, not different ones. They come in different ohms for a reason. In general, when talking about the same model of headphone the higher the ohms the better they sound. In general.
If we were talking about different headphones than your point is valid. Higher ohms do not make for a better sounding headphone any more than a 40mm vs 50mm speaker does. There are a lot of variables to concider.
My point to you still stands - whatever headphones you prefer is great. It's a personal choice. I reviewed a budget wireless headphone recently that sucked yet almost every other review it recieved praise. Why? Because the people who paid the 80 bucks have no idea what good headphones sound like, which is perfectly fine. As long as they like them it's all good. I had to sell them because they were terrible.
Incredibly comfortable, and the sound signature is mostly flat yet satisfyingly warm, with a nice clean sub-bass, particularly the 80-ohm version. Keep in mind that while these can be driven by your mobile devices in a pinch, a small ext amp is recommended for anything over 50 ohms for optimal bass timing. These have been my daily work headphones for 10 years and still going strong.
I see a few suggestions to hold out for more expensive models or versions with 250-ohms, but don’t be so quick. For years, the 80 Ohm flavor has had a cult following for its particularly unique sound signature, as a great compromise between entry-level-priced audiophile quality and a little extra sub-bass. The 80-ohm ones are unique, and if you search you’ll find several favorable reviews for this one particularly compared directly with the other impedance varieties. They’re not for bass heads —they’re for people who like a relatively accurate/flat studio sound signature, with a little extra tuning in the bottom end for fun (whereas truly flat headphones would sound completely bassless by bass-head standards).
These are commonly modded to defeat their only unfortunate drawback, the incredibly long/stiff non-removable studio cable. Otherwise, their best use-case is as a permanent fixture to your desktop or stereo system, or studio. Their non-fatiguing signature and comfortable form factor allow for all-day background or focused/critical listening. They won’t compete with some $700+ headphones, but the fidelity is remarkable at such a non-audiophile price, often giving me a different emotional response to songs I’ve listened to hundreds of times before.
Got mine (80ohm) many years ago when it went on sale for $129. Current price $149 hardly a deal.
Soundwise these are fun, with a nice bass impact. Isolation is great. Also, extremely comfortable to wear, even for extended periods.
When i see blatant idiocy, ill call it out. With your positive reviews and endorsements to these products, no wonder you'd have the mindset to defend a $20 increase when it makes no sense economically. If you're trying to be an unbiased reviewer, you're failing hard.
Watching over people spreading misinformation and trying to get away with small instances of cyber bullying, like you. I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it to protect people from people like you.
Currently out of stock but can be had cheaper on ProAudioStar($120) and that is for the much much better 250ohm unit. The 80ohm units are bottom of the barrel, still good compared to anything you can get at WorstBuy though. Higher ohm speakers produce cleaner sound but do require a powered DAC. You can use the money you save to buy a DAC. That said I have the 770 and 990. I also have Sony MDR-7506 and V-Moda Crossfade LP2. My Beyerdynamics blow all the others away and when I tried them in the stoer were more comfortable (for me) than the Sennheiser equivalents. My Sony sound better than my V-Moda but the V-Moda are more comfortable. Of course the Sony design is from the 70s I think, if not the 80s.
All that said if you can afford the better yet much more expensive 1770 or 1990 defiantly go that route.
It's more than a "10% improvement in quality." My 880s are comfortable and are excellent for daily, non-critical listening, but my 1990s have much better sub-bass reproduction (almost flat to 5 Hz!) and are worth every penny.
If you just purchased them and like them keep them and use for longer. Decide the things you like and don't like about them. It's possible they are perfect for you.
Once you have a ton of hours with them you'll be able to make a more informed decision about how you think your audio chain should be assembled. Occasionally a better source or amplifier can make a big change with the same headphones.
Some headphones are worth the money for the higher price others are not and it can be a painstaking process to figure out what's real.
I can't make a recommendation because what I like is probably not the same to you. Each has to walk their own road.
Nice work! These headphones have been my full-time all-rounders for the past 10 years, and they’ve outlived some of the amps I’ve used. I considered doing that mod, but the DT770s typically don’t leave my desk anyway. When on the go, I just use my Sony WH-1000XM3. BTW the latter are also great mobile all-rounders, but for all the glory they get, they don’t come anywhere close to the sonic abilities of the DT770’s.
