Before you buy the NEW Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X LIMITED EDITION...

[@HezJP]

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!

[@dioclias]

did you get them? what is your opinion on them?

[@HezJP]

@@dioclias love them!! Zero regrets. Sound great and are very comfy. They are a big jump up over the original DT770s, just a “better” version of them

[@dioclias]

@@HezJP thanks for the reply! I'll do a little bit more research tomorrow but you really helped!

[@HezJP]

@@dioclias yeah I mean, if you like the 770’s then this is the move! If you want open back or have a bigger budget then maybe there are better options. Let me know what you go for!

[@AG-mz7vm]

It's a myth that closed back headphones can't be used for mixing.

[@zachary5049]

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.

[@southghost149]

[@CreativeSauce]

[@H0kram]

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 😀

[@ziadkhalaf198]

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.

[@13thJ]

Mix on whatever headphones or stereo speakers monitors whatever you listen to your music on Don't switch to a different set of monitors or a different set of headphones when you mix versus when you're just listening and enjoying music Your mind is adjusted to what you listen to and it will a better balance for the sounds if you stay with your own reference audio

[@adeptalakay]

i love my dt 770 pro 80 ohms, but my bunny chewed the cord in half, so i have to send it out to get a 3.5mm plug in mod so it wont happen again, thats my only downside

[@HHGenuine]

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... :)

[@orfeous]

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.

[@MrKvasi]

My DT770 Pro 32 Ohm version has a straight cable.

[@edmsmash869]

Great review! But how does it compare to the DT Pro 990??

[@tonyvistein9532]

Thank you for the detailed explanation on the differences and similarities. I’m actually looking for my next set of mixing headphones. What would you recommend for a good set of those? I currently use AKG K 271 MkII closed back headphones that are getting old and worn, but I really like them.

[@m4ckle]

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!

[@CreativeSauce]

The 770 Pro X is actually my favourite. Eve though its cheaper than the 700 tbh

[@andrew7rm]

​@CreativeSauce I'm in Australia and the 770 Pro X LE is the same price as the 700 Pro X. I'm put off by the additional weight of the 700s, but like their look a little more and have read that they don't have the harsh high end that the 770s do. Completely stuck with the decision. 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?

[@tomghzel]

I just got the DT770 PRO X LE after watching this. I had some obstacles in order to make them sound louder because of missing realtek console missing on my PC. now they sound really loud BUT! i want to start producing music so...a proper audio interface is needed even though they have 48ohms, right? Thanks a lot for your videos and invested time!

[@CreativeSauce]

You can produce electronic music without an audio interface, but even with that it's ultimately better to have one. Enjoy the headphones!

[@angheltheodor1579]

@@CreativeSauce what audio interface would you recommend?

[@OurgasmComrade]

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)

I tested dt 770 pro 250ohm and 770 pro x with my ssl2 interface, X has more bass but stereo image/soundstage is shit and for mixing it’s too much bass sucks don’t buy them for real in comparison it sounds like mono 💀

[@stevesmith7268]

I got these pro x's a month ago. I was disappointed. I have the m40x, love them for tracking and mixing, and prefer them for their overall sound quality as opposed to these. That being said, thwy sounded cheap at first, but perhaps they are a bit broken in now, and the quality has improved slightly, especially at higher volumes. Still not as good as the quality of the m40x's. Im thinking of buying the m70x's for listening.

[@ChEeFo2000]

Hey I cant choose between 770 Pro 250Ohm with Zen Air Dac and the new 770 Pro X. I will be using these for home listening and playing games which one would you recommend?

[@RayCrush2008]

I've tested the 700 Pro X for about 3 weeks but the clamping force was way too much for me, they just wouldn't give in after all that time of being used 8-10hours/day+leaving them stretched on the box over night so I ended up picking up the 770 pro 80ohm version as the 770 pro X was 3-4 months away from release

[@ihcrenrut]

Fantastic breakdown! I’ve been tracking and mixing with the original DT770s since 2017 and they’ve served me quite well, actually. After watching this I’d like to try out the new version to hear the difference! Cheers! 🙌🏾

[@jasongiese1979]

Have the same question

[@kaine880]

@@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!

[@burns0100]

Yes, they work fine for all types of media use. They aren’t an overly flat sound so they can be fun and have a lot of sub bass rumble for gaming. My only negative is they do make your ears hot. Not a lot of air and replacing the pads changes the sound for the worse. Solid pick up for a closed back all purpose headphone.
