Had a pair of DT770's for about 10 years, and have repaired the cable about 3 times. They've been on the edge of dying for about 6 months and was thinking about the 700 Pro X, but just saw the 770 Pro X released... Basically everything I want -- detachable cable, slight upgrades to sound and same housing as the DT770's I've been using. Can't wait to get them!

It's a myth that closed back headphones can't be used for mixing.
@zachary50493 ай бұрын
I don't think so. You get such a different sound pressure with closed back, and open-back headphones. Moreover, the resonances are more occurring in closed back, since, they have to reverberate in a robust construction of the closed back.

Very nice review, I've watched a ton before pulling the trigger today and yours is definitely up there. For my use, on practice amp and music listening on a variety of devices, I concluded that 48 ohm would get me the best out of everything. Also, I know myself and why I prefer detached cable, and that I will switch to a coiled cable at some point, hassle free. And as a bass player ( hobby ) after 5 years with a cheap headphone I wore to its destruction, it's time to treat myself. Man, that thing is properly used, I glued a pad that fell off etc. I was not giving up on that thing. It served me well. It's good to start with modest gear though, makes the sweet, more expensive gear more enjoyable 😀
@ziadkhalaf19819 күн бұрын
One significant reason to avoid the 700 Pro X (2021 model) is the headband. The adhesive used to attach the cushion to the plastic band has a major flaw-it tends to come off after just a few months of moderate use (a quick online search will reveal numerous complaints). Although Beyerdynamic made slight changes to the internal construction to address the issue, the problem persists, with the headband wearing out in only a few months. I've already had three replacements under warranty and am unsure what I'll do once the two-year warranty expires. It's no surprise Beyerdynamic released the new DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition at a more affordable price, reverting to the classic headband design while retaining the updated drivers and detachable cable.

DT 770 Pro actually comes in 3 different versions: 32, 80, and 250 ohms. I have been using DT 770 Pro 80 ohm (straight undetachable cable) maybe 15 years, and they still perform stellar. For production, tracking, mixing, and video editing, these cans are just awesome... I enjoy them so much ... aand maybe it's time to add DT 770 Pro X LE to my collection... :)

DT 770 Pro X Limited Edition is like 200 euro so i might buy a pair so i can listen to EDM music. Currently using Sennheiser HD 25 SP and an old Razer Kraken headphone. Borrowed a colleagues AKG K271 Studio, but i did not like them. But i think it is because they dont compress to my ears so much and i loose all the sub bass. If i press on them against my ears there are a lots of low sub bass and that i like in that music genre. But really like listening to metal as well.

I used to have the DT770 Pro 80, and used it at home when I required a little bit of isolation from outside noises, found them good for watching and listening. Have been thinking about the DT 700 Pro X for a little while - especially as at 48 ohms can probably even drive them from an Xbox controller - but was put off making the purchase because wanted to see what these DT 770 Pro X were like. And looks like it’s a hard choice!

Used for tracking/practising electric guitar. Which would you say is ultimately more comfortable? And given they're the same price here, which would you buy?

@OurgasmComrade3 ай бұрын
You'll need an interface that has an output impedance of either 10 ohms or less, otherwise if it's higher it will cause the headphones to have inaccurate low frequency response. Julian Krause talks about that a lot and it's based on physics and engineering (look up the "8x rule" when it comes to headphone versus interface impedance)

@@jasongiese1979 You can listen to these casually since the dt990pros aren’t really good for gaming and leak a ton of audio, same with the 880’s making the 770’s the best option for gaming/music depending on how many ohms you get. 250 ohms is for studio and professional use so you’ll 100% have to buy an external amplifier which is pretty pricey. 80 ohms is easier to run considering most laptops/ phones can run it and the sound quality is also nice for casual use but if you’re device isn’t strong or doesn’t have a good sound card, you’re gonna need to once again get an external amplifier. With 32 ohms, it’s super easy to run so you wouldn’t need an amplifier however the cable is only 3 feet long which is incredibly short compared to the 80/250 ohm ones and people have said that the 32 ohm sound quality is worse. 80ohms would probably be the best option as most devices can handle it and the cable is long. Hope this helped!
