New Beyerdynamic PRO X Lineup - m90, m70 mics and DT 700 and DT 900 headphones| Booth Junkie

[@lionheartroar3104]

Hey Mike..missed you. I have purchased several microphones thanks to your thorough reviews and have also saved $$$ in the process by not buying the wrong equipment and fully understanding what I'm buying. You rock.

[@sharmashivanand]

They are not enough. You need to buy tons of them and save more money. The more you buy the more money you save.

[@kjellbeats]

@@sharmashivanand lmao exactly what i thought

[@peen2804]

I love when people talk about saving money by buying things

[@PileOfEmptyTapes]

The M70 PRO X has such an extreme treble boost that it ends up sounding like a handheld dynamic, so you have to get very close for any semblance of balance, and then it still sounds very V-shaped. Eh... not a fan. The M90 PRO X seems like a worthy contender in its class.

[@cristopherjohansson1323]

The M90 actually surprised me! Low end is there but tight and it has a clear and open top end but not as bright as the NT1-A for example.

[@tertozer3543]

The M70 sounds way too harsh and has really no low end. It also sounds muddy. As soon as I saw the frequency response, it all made sense. The boost from 1k to 4k is way too aggressive.

[@Jisooee]

You're right. But that boost on mids has a purpose. Podcast microphones usually have that midrange signature that is best suited for Podcasting. For example, listen to the Rode Pod mic, listen to the Shure SM7B, & this M70. You can hear the midrange forward signature tone of those microphones. They're not really suited for singing, but extremely suited for Podcasting.

[@tertozer3543]

@@Jisooee Rode podcast sounds also very awful to my ears. Same characteristics. I can't stand these harsh nasily frequencies. That's why I like the Shure sm7b and it's my daily driver. Sounds warmer, not that harsh.

[@tvelektron]

The sound is for me a bit like those typical "Stage" dynamic Mics, would like to compare them for example with Shure Beta 58, SM58, SM57, perhalps even something like Behringer BA 85A... Chris

[@jcabanaw]

I could make a pretty decent Kick or Floor Tom mic, but, ya, not so nice for vocals.

[@ZackTheWise]

REALLY appreciate hearing your mouth sounds in this video. I've spent a large part of my voice-over-adventures thinking, "maybe I just create too many mouth sounds and shouldn't choose this for a career!" But then in this video, I listened more carefully and realize you're voice isn't perfect, either! When I watch you at 1.5x or 1.75x, the mouth sounds disappear, but I watched this at 1x speed and I could hear them! Now I'll have to go through your earlier videos and see what you do to handle the problem... Thanks for all you share, by the way! To borrow the phrase from your outtro, every one of your videos is "something amazing"!

[@ZekeWaters_]

Biggest thing from my experience is just making sure you are well hydrated

[@EU_DHD]

This comment kinda became a review of the DT 770 Pro 80 so if that's what you're after you're in luck. NOTE: these are the 770 pro, NOT the 700 pro X in the video. The pads on the DT770 Pro 80 are what I would describe as not extremely soft and quite firm. They require a bit of 'playing them in' before they're really comfortable. When they are though, they're vey comfortable. The firmness of the pad and articulation of the cups really help match the shape of your head. Resulting in a firm, contoured shape that clamps comfortably to your head with some softness to them. Impedance was an issue for me using a Steinberg UR22 MKII audio interface. I couldn't get the volume high enough to where I wanted it and the bass felt quite underwhelming compared to the HyperX Cloud II I was using before. The same was true plugging into the back of my MB (Asus B450 ROG Strix F-Gaming). NOW, I'm not sure the bass issue was due to the impedance or the fact the the ear pads hadn't been played in or shaped to my head yet since these headphones have noticeably better bass than the Cloud 2:s. I say better in that there's more clarity in the way you can make out what you're listening to in the lower register and the punch is much tighter while the Clouds offered a more visceral, airzooka-type bass experience with a lot more sounds blending together. To be clear, the interface I am using is notoriously quiet for headphones so I bought a whatever cheap headphone amp which solved any issue I had. For the record, an LD Systems HPA4 which has served me very well. I run the Steinberg cranked to max and the HPA4 at around 2 o'clock. I find the sound overall very good but a bit fatiguing depending on what I listen to. Especially sources with a lot of bass and low mids. There's one song I particularly want to listen to that makes me feel like I have a lot of pressure building up inside my ears which is quite uncomfortable. Other than those specific types of sources they sound incredible compared to the cheap/mid-range gaming or on-ear headphones I've tried before. I can make out a lot of sounds that I have not been able to before. Especially in the high mids and upper register. I did find that there was a bit of a learning curve trying to pick out the differences but after a week or two you'll be very happy if you came from something like "a good pair of gaming headphones" The Clarity and sound separation has actually helped me notice enemies footsteps a lot better in games. Something I had really doubted before. Even though they are closed back, the pads themselves don't isolate as much sounds as I would have liked. Sound leakage isn't a big problem but if there are sounds around you you will still hear them quite well. Having a conversation at a normal to low volume is not an issue when you're wearing them and not listening to anything. I have ordered the EDT 770 S Ear Pads that are made for the sound isolation model of the 770:s to see if that changes the isolation/sound profile to my liking. My main complaint is that the cable isn't removable. The way the cable bends where it comes out of the left cup isn't the most confidence-inspiring thing I've seen but I'm very careful with my things and don't intend on lending them out to anyone so I don't see it being a problem. Being able to plug in a 1.5m cable instead of the 3m one would make travelling with them possible but all things considered I wouldn't recommend using them as your on-the-go headphones even if there's nothing really that's stopping you. They just won't be very convenient. Yes I know this isn't the right place for something like this but I'm guessing at least one person will find this useful for comparison purposes.

[@jeremyoliviervoice]

Thanks so much Mike. I JUST bought the Beyerdynamic DT770 pros and I'm diggin' the new DT 700. I see that they listened to the customers about a detachable cable. Many people complained about that. Between the mics, I love the sound and performance of the m90. The m70 doesn't sound so good though. I fully agree with you about them "phoning in" the pop filter. Thanks for the introduction to these new products from Beyerdynamic. The one that stands out the most for me is the m90 mic. I feel that we will see that one a lot more often in the competitive mic market.

[@powersliding]

m90 looks stunning and sound's amazing

[@ovaismalikvo]

I love my DT770 Pro 80 ohm headphones and have no need for another set when doing VO 😊

[@onlymyopiniontech]

It seems like they wanted a universal pop filter for both mics. It would be a nice touch if the mics each had their own pop filter. I think they both sound nice. Have a great day and be safe out there!

[@ericdano]

Whoa, the m70 sounds bad........needs EQ or something. The m90 sounded great.

[@Kragatar]

14:00 I think cheap is what they're going for here, not eco-friendly. Eventually the cardboard will get thrown away and replaced with a proper case. That cheapo pop filter will probably get discarded as well. The AKG P420 that I bought was properly eco-friendly. They skipped the cardboard box and you just get the case.

[@nasserakasheh]

M70 sounds beautiful.. it’s an amazing microphone idk why it’s getting some backlash I really think it’s better than 90% of the market. I’ve heard it so many times and I think it’s my favourite dynamic.. can’t wait to receive mine to test out

[@insanejughead]

Post up samples of how it sounds with your voice in Mike's discord when you've messed around with it a bit!

[@peen2804]

Considering the older models of headphones are in a different price bracket altogether I’d imagine they are a new addition to the lineup especially considering how beloved a lot of those headphones are both professionally and casually.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

It's always a good day when there's a new video from Booth Junkie in the list! I caught my self sitting with my head tilted to the left several times throughout this video, seems the camera is a bit tilted :)

[@mo_venegas]

Definitely interesting products from beyerdynamic. The microphones both sound great, and aren't too expensive even though I've heard a similar quality level of sound for less. The M90 is just an amazing condenser, very open, airy and detailed and I really loved the sound. The M70 caught me off guard because of the sudden sound change, but after I got used to it I started to love it too, very dark but detailed, doing essentially what a quality dynamic is supposed to do but with a unique touch. The headphones also seem great, wish I could hear them. The marketing for them is interesting, they're supposedly meant to be either studio or on-the-go headphones, which explains only having a 48 ohm option, yet are built just as rugged as their other studio headphones. I trust that the build quality is just as good, I love my DT 990 Pros, but I personally wouldn't want to use them "on-the-go", rather I'd like to have a case for them that way they'd be the headphones I take to other studio, or just other locations where I'd be doing professional work. There's also a lot of quality of life changes that I love, the detachable cable is something I've been craving for my DT 990s lately, and the head cushion and ear pads seem significantly easier to remove and change out, having to heat up my pads to make the leather more malleable then try to finesse them around the headphone was torture when I switched out mine about a year ago. They also look a lot nicer and possibly made with higher quality plastics from the look of it? Overall the quality of life changes do merit a higher price, but for twice the price of the 770s and 990s it's hard to justify without hearing them first. Overall some cool products that I really hope to get the chance to use myself in the future.

[@DapperDanLovesYou]

The Shure Beta 87a Handheld condenser mic also gives you multiple distances on the frequency graph, proximity, intended distance, and far!

[@leganiki1403]

I just bought the m90 pro x and now i'm "tensed like a bowling alley", like we say over here in germany! Would love to hear that boy against the Shure sm7b and the Stellar X3 (and other mics), because i can't find anyone, who compared them. And you are doing it soooo well!

[@insanejughead]

Good stuff Mike! I'm looking forward to seeing what Mr. Judd says about this package, too!

[@Mike7O7O]

Nice to see you back Mike. I must've missed your last few months of uploads, despite being subscribed. No idea how that happened. Looking forward to some more 'how to' vids. Though I will be working my way through your other channels shortly. Want to get to a basic level of competence, now I've got the gear. Before I start pitching for projects :)

[@stanleynowak9325]

Mike, The condenser to dynamic transition hurt. If I want a 34 mm condenser, I am getting a Shure KSM 32. Actually, I have one. It's worth the extra money. That is just my personal opinion.

[@ProvenSawlid]

Mic sounds good dude. Plus it definitely looks the part Good review bro you the mic review GOAT hands down

[@insanejughead]

I'm loving the sound of the dynamic M70x! For a dynamic, it sounds nice and open with a tease of the low end you're capable of. And yes, the sibilance dip is a nice inclusion! (Of course, they've been making dynamic mics since the stone age, so this isn't surprising in the least.)

[@KeithCopeland778]

Thank you for a great review!!!!! The DT-700 Pro X headphones are really piquing my interest!!!

[@TMDangerMouse]

Would you say the M90 Pro X is worth getting at £136 brand new ($170)?

[@scoremoore4280]

Can you please make a video on making your recoding sound this good?, I've watched your eq and compression tutorials, but man you're making my low quality headphone sounds so great.

[@UndergroundSoundProductions]

Aye mike coming in strong with the new visuals 🙌

[@Jisooee]

ikr

[@WickedFellow]

Great review. I think there is definitely some cost savings on the "we can ship the same pop filter with both mics" I don't actually like a pop filter built into the shock mount, my Rode has one and I seldom use it. Not because it does not work, it's actually a good filter set the proper distance away from the mic, but as I record on camera it is hard for me to position the pop filter in a way that does not block my view and face so I ended up using a flex arm style filter like the one shipped with those mics before I found a close fitting curved metal filter that works well enough without blocking me. If Beyerdynamic were to upgrade the filter I'd prefer one fitted to the mic as you were showing. Love the detachable cables on the new headphones, my one complaint on my 770's.

[@IlseHimschoot]

Thanks for this great review again Mike!

[@TheNewArtSchool]

How do the dt700 pro x compared to the traditional and trusted DT 770 pro? Thank you 😊

Miiike lmao I just applied for a job at Publix (I moved recently across country and I’m looking for something to start) and as I went through the application and got to the assessment part, I heard you narrating the instructions and start laughing and yelling “I KNOW THAT VOICE!” Haha I’ve definitely watched too many of your videos

[@cameronjm]

Listening on my ipad my first impression was that the m90 sounded like an mkh-416. It sounds good. The m70 sounds a bit muddy by comparison

[@caloss2]

The dynamic mic didn't sound at all nice until you got in close with the proximity effect

[@Jisooee]

There's that ringing sound when you use the M70.

[@backpackingvillager1480]

Are these same? DT 177x Go and DT 1770 Pro? Can't find DT 177x Go in UK. Looking for closed baco detachable headphone for vocal recording and music listening

[@algywatkins9316]

I listened to this video on my phone. I know that's not the ideal way to listen to a microphone comparison but I could clearly hear the difference between the two. I preferred the M70 because the less pronounced bass resulted in a clearer vocal. Perhaps that was the intention - a microphone that works well in a variety of recording environments and on a range of listening devices. BTW I believe all these products are made in Germany, which may explain/justify the rrp.

[@joshuapartogi]

The mics was engineered in Germany but made in China.

[@Mustafa1410h]

It's time for a studio tour video

[@thedoodler882]

If they ever release m70 version 2 with some bass in it, I might buy it.

[@WhippyWhipGaming]

they are quite fatiguing to listen to, they sound very harsh in the high end

[@S.T.G.]

It seems to have an edge terminated condenser capsule like the AKG C414 if I am not mistaken.

[@themotobanditshow]

Hi Mike, what do you think of the Sony WH 1000 XM4 for in studio or booth recording for isolation and headphones noise bleed. They are BT headphones but have the cabled option for direct audio feed.

[@EU_DHD]

Do you plan on making a review on the mystery-box mics you got? I'm especially interested in the C1000S since I can't find any good reviews where the mic is used without processing. (Or maybe send it to Andrew at podcastage and have him schedule it in at the end of 2022) :)

[@TheHithirteen]

I believe you that the M70 is end address, but Sweetwater's features states it is a side address...

[@VankillaVanil]

Not loving the sound on either of these. Still not ready to jump up from the NT1. (til maybe Neumann time?)

[@salliemorrill2671]

Love these evaluations on mics & headphones. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge. Big, big quality difference betw/ the condenser & dynamic mics. Definitely disappointed w/ the dynamic. Also unimpressed w/ the shock mount & pop filter construction. Really surprised by the company choice. Thanks for helping me to make critical & economic decisions w/ these vids.

[@RobynsReflections]

Omg I have a pair of the old ones and they drive me crazy. I’m getting a new pair as soon as I can. They are creaky and I swear there is a ringing or feedback or something. I swear. I wish I would have returned them when I had the chance. I use ATH 40 for editing and they have never let me down but they don’t have a good sound for monitoring my voice. Do you have a ATH suggestion for monitoring? I was considering the ATH 50 but everyone says they are bad.

[@msd5808]

Is the sound better on the DT 900 compared to the DT 990?

Hi sir Thanks for your great video I have an unrelated question, please guide me If i want to use dbx, i have to turn on 48 v on dbx My question is i have to turn on 48 v on interface also (focusright interface or not ) or i just need to do it on dbx

[@hiddenkairid2552]

Hey, Mike. Do you need more ohms (like 80) for voiceover work or do these provide plenty of power for it? Do you plan on switching to these or are you staying with the 770s? Thank you.

[@nicholasmullins3693]

The Ohm rating is related to how much power is needed to drive sound through the drivers. Higher resistance (ohms), more power needed. There is a slight difference in sound and signal to noise ratio, I believe due to using an amplifier for the headphones, but there are other people who may do a better job of explaining. Basically, it's a preference thing.

[@lionheartroar3104]

How do you know which ones to buy in terms of ohms?

[@Crusher91]

More ohms = you will need to buy an amp to power them to their full potential, less ohms = you can drive them with anything (pc, phone, etc)

[@GER-Thorgs]

I like the sound of the m90 out of the box more. The m70 sounds too flat. Nothing that an EQ can't fix.

[@insanejughead]

That's the typical condenser vs dynamic sound.

[@dw.imaging]

I’m a subscriber. Love your reviews. But for what ever reason, this video triggered me to complain about the strobing control lights on that device in the background. Probably due to the camera shutter speed in relation to the frequency of the LEDs under the buttons. Super strain-full to my eyes. Lucky for you and me, I don’t ever watch your reviews… I mostly just listen while I’m working on something else. Keep up the great work.

It's a shame the M70 mic has the treble boost because I've been hearing it has very low self-noise. Way too shrill.

[@richardnogueira8435]

I wish you spoke for a longer time nearly eating it. I didn't like the sound whenever you were distant to it (it sounded good if you are pretty close to it), which is a bummer, it basically means you can never be on video while using a M70. Probably not good for your back, as well...

[@djmartinfierro]

you are honest and real, not like de Sanjay C guy, with his annoying smile, everything's good and nothing is wrong, and always asking for likes and more likes

[@badmiddens]

gotta agree. couldn't have said it better. he comes across as a tool.

[@TechReflex]

Man I think you shouldn't use 'Paid Promotion' category for your videos like this one where the brand sent you something to review, it can affect your revenue stream because the ad selection may get affected, and generally 'Paid promotion' videos are where there is a monetary exchange, the standard procedure for most reviewers is to get the product, and review it objectively. You're also upfront about the product being sent to you so I think it'll be completely fine to not tick the 'paid promotion' option. Just sharing my opinion as a fan of your work.

[@footnotedrummer]

The M70 didn't have the comfy low end that the m90 had. That's a bit odd. usually a condenser mic (especially in this price range) has a glassy sound, with some extremely brittle highs. I think the M90 sounded really nice.

[@jyun7360]

The m90 sounds way way much better than m70 to my ears.

I've got to say, I do not like the sound of the m70. It sounds kinda "cheap". Lower resolution and kinda hard sounding. The m90 sounds a lot better, though I don't think either is for me. I'm not the biggest fan of bright sounding microphones. Headphones look good, though.

[@MrBCook17]
