Hi boys, I'm just a fresh graduated sound engineer, I work with the DT 770 Pro 250 Ohms since 2 years now and it is real good product, very strong (compared to the Sennheiser HD25, which tend to break on the left ear, known problem), the frequency response is really flat, and it is really good for mixing, and sound taking on a field ! Comfortable, though it may feel heavy when you use it for hours, and make your ears feel hot (is it clear ?) pretty quickly.10/10 recommended ! Have a good day boys and Thanks Oliver for your work !

[@akakerness6396]

How hot? I tried them at my local Guitar Center and they were really comfortable and not heavy at all. I'm worry about the hot part that you mentioned (I tend to sweat a lot during the summer)Also, the ear pads on the Dt 990 pro are better than the 770.

[@user-gh9iw1of2y]

Frequency response is flat? Are you kidding me? It is NOT flat by any means. Very little headphones can produce flat response, or anything even close to flat response.

[@OliverJHughes]

30 Shot, I think that Focusrite will have a hard time driving the 250ohm version- I would invest in an affordable headphone amp to ensure gain!

[@peopleiknow2896]

Would my macbook pro drive the 250 ohm version adequately? This whole different ohm version thing is new to me..@30 Shot Jay Beats

[@dirty_diver]

I like my HD 25 better - DT770 Pro 80 ohms sounded muffled with heavy bass in comparison... 250 might be excellent tho.

[@antyvirusuk8056]

The bass is deep, not boosted, thats why the 770s are so popular

[@soulfulfool]

I wonder if I push into them too much power because when I pass certain lvl of volume bass start to rattle on THX amp (very low freq) and on fostex amp/dac all freq start to shimmer like HP could not handle the power

[@rajam.yassin5152]

I disagree, the bass is louder. But it's good for you general sound imaging... I mean how your brain understands bass (and treble). I have 8 headphones along with the AudioTechnica... I use all sorts of stuff for my audio mixing, and I'm a DJ. These Beyerdynamic 250 ohms are definitely slightly tuned... Definitely! They are my favourite, don't get me wrong though...

[@TheRecon4]

As an Electrical Engineer I believe the reason why the higher impedance headphones tend to produce better sound is due to the fact that they are less susceptible to picking up noise from the environment which causes interference. You may have experienced a cheap pair of headphones before with poor shielding around its wires that leads to odd hums or pops if you leave the cable on top or near another electronic device that creates significant electromagnetic radiation. With higher impedance drivers it's easier to ensure that only the frequencies driven by your amp are getting to your ears and not other distortion form ambient sources of electromagnetic radiation. Edit: After a little research apparently the extra impedance is also a result of more turns of wire in the voice coils of the drivers which means that the drivers in the higher impedance models are actually more powerful.

[@floridacapo]

Great review, very helpful and your description is accurate to how these sound. I bought these and a Schiit Modi/Magni combo to run them. Together with a good FLAC song, I see how audio experienced like this can make your eyes water. I think I want to cry realizing what I have been missing out on all these years using cheap gaming headsets for music. I wanted at least one closed back set and these looked good for the price point. Looking to get some Sennheiser 650s or something similar next. Slippery slope they say. Thanks!

I think they should get along just fine! How did it go? I'm planning to get the same pair pf headphones for motu m2

[@leftyshep]

Rexor Magbutay I ended up getting the 80ohm version since the 250 were sold out for a couple months. My ears are pretty weakened after 30 years of gigs so I can’t honestly distinguish most upper tones anyway. Lol. The 80’s sound good to me and will be sufficient for my home studio needs. Hope all is well and be safe!

[@rexormagbutay9641]

Abosultely nice way to get through 30 years, totally see no regrets there! Looks like the 250's were your first choice. Gonna get the 250's then. Appreciate it sir, thanks so much. And stay safe out there too!

thank you for putting them on, 5 videos above you and not a single person wore them lololol.. its kinda important to try them on to see how they look on people haha

[@OliverJHughes]

Ha! It's the little things!

[@BrendanMiranda]

So I've been mixing with M50x's for about a year, and get really bad ear fatigue from how harsh the high end is, they just broke and I ordered 770pro's to switch it up a bit, and now I'm questioning it because you said that the high end on these are higher than the m50x's which was already giving me bad ear fatigue. Now I'm nervous lol. Most of what I've read online said that the m50x's have way crispier harsher high end. I'm not sure what to believe. I guess I'm going to just have to try them

[@OliverJHughes]

Let me know what you think! The highs have chilled out on mine since they’re pretty well burned in

[@BrendanMiranda]

@@OliverJHughes Had them for a few days now, so far so never going back. LOL My mixes have even improved and are translating way better almost immediately. High end definitely crispy maybe about the same as M50x's but with more clarity, and overall sound is more balanced and less muddy than the M50x's. Listening through some FLAC files the first time was exactly as you described. Chills! Definitely worth the switch! NEVER going back.

[@theprinceofeverything1975]

Hey oliver, are these good for hip hop music Too? Also, do they get loud. Final question, do they have a wide soundstage? Thank you so much

[@JM-nh8yp]

Many people prefer the 80 ohms because the bass goes deeper, not more bass, just more range. And the treble on the 80s is just high enough but not overdone and painful like the 250 ohm. Normally the higher the ohm, the better. But not on the 770s. Good review of these though

[@OliverJHughes]

I need to try the 80 ohms. Thanks for this!

[@daughterofletha4]

Hello. From previous watched videos (including yours lol!) I'm sold on the BeyerDynamic DT770 Headphones. I am a bit confused as to which is best for me overall. I don't wish to purchase two sets of headphones. I need one pair, for now, that will serve more than one purpose. I am a singer as well as a voice-over actress. My main desire for the headphones at this time is for voice over. But with some of my voice over opportunities, the character needs to be able to sing. Will the 250 ohms be ok if I don't have a mic amp? (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS LOL!)- but I do have an interface that's been in the box for 3 years that I'm now having to learn how to use. Forgive me, I'm still in the learning stage of all of these technical terms lol! I will be recording from a very acoustically dead closet and on my MacBook Pro most likely thru Twisted Wave or adobe audition. Haven't decided yet. I Can't find a video where someone really explains - to make the 32.80-or 250 ohms decision when it comes to voice over work because most are referencing mixing etc. I want to know if the 250 with an interface work perfectly. In one video I watched the gentleman stated that he didn't need a mic amp & that some people (his colleagues) says otherwise & that it was a 50/50 opinion. But his studio was mostly used for music recording. I also went to your site on the audition audio presets but didn't understand whatthe prices were for. I'll go back later to explore the site to see if I missed something. Sorry for the mini novel lol! I'm just ready to purchase these headphones. Thanks for posting the video & I look forward to your reply.

Ксения Ким hello. I purchased the Beyerdynamic 250’s. I can only tell you that they ate extremely comfortable. I haven’t used them yet bcuz you need to use them through an interface bcuz of its power.

[@user-ht6qt6zv1c]

Hello Oliver, very insightful review. For vinyl record listening enjoyment, which cans would you suggest under $200 USD ? Sibilance is unfortunately common on vintage vinyl via mediocre cart's (IE. 2M Red), and thus I would prefer less analytical cans, but with decent kick, transparent mids, constrained fatiguing highs. Cheers !

Sorry for all the questions, but here they come.. Will I be able to use these 250 Ohm versions without an amp and external DAC? Or will I be wasting my money? If I do need an amp/dac, which do you recommend?

[@OliverJHughes]

You WILL be able to use them, but your output drive will be limited. If you're just listening to music with them, you should be fine, but any mixing you'll want an amp (or an Audio Interface/DAC, my Apollo Twin is able to drive them just fine) I recommend Universal Audio Apollo, aways, but if you have a budget less than that, check out Focusrite

[@ClanRTQC]

if you are really looking to use them without a DAC you should buy the 32ohms dt770. or get the 250ohms and any decent DAC. i like the quality and design of S.M.S.L PRODUCTS. i own a smsl ad-18 DAC and its good for the prices and features.

I use a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 interface with my PC and the output for the 250 Ohm was a little quiet so I bought a cheap Chinese valve headphone amp (Sabaj PHA3) for about £40 from Amazon and it adds a tiny bit of warmth, but more importantly gives the signal enough kick to drive the headphones with sufficient volume.

Dude. I’ve been watching a ton of tech videos and found your channel yesterday. Love your stuff! I watched your Nura vid and then peeped this one when you said these mofos did the trick. Which you think I should get? My top are Nura, Beyer (cuz of you), and Sony Xm3

[@OliverJHughes]

What up Lando! Here’s the deal, the pros and cons are pretty varied between those three - first of all, beyerdynamic isn’t Bluetooth, or noise cancelling, and doesn’t have a big low end. So consider that- those are probably not good on the go cans, but GREAT for listening at home or mixing. XM3s are the worlds best noise cancelling. Just phenomenal. Also, light and comfy. Don’t sound too great though. And of course the nuras are really heavy, feel odd, but sound just phenomenal. So damn good. Huge bass, etc... On the go? Travel? I’d go Sony At home with accurate sound? Beyerdynamic A tech forward unique experience with outstanding bass? For both on the go and home? Nura

How much of an upgrade do you think a pair of dt880 600 ohm will be over the dt770 pro 80 ohm, neutral and accuracy wise? And for pure music listening in general?

[@siprturo]

Hey Oliver, thanks for this, I have a question I am hoping you can answer. I recently bought the 770 Pro 250 ohms and I have a KA6 audio interface. The volume wasn't loud enough for me with this setup, so I bought a PreSonus HP4 amplifier, which sorted the volume issue out, but now I have lost the feature of direct monitoring (without latency) that the KA6 provides when recording through a mic into Ableton. What do you think is the solution for this? Is there an audio interface I can switch to that gives me both the amplifying + the direct monitoring feature in one piece of gear?

[@eyelezz]

Is there an obvious difference for the different impedance version? I'm thinking of getting one to simply plug in to my phone on the go

[@OliverJHughes]

The general consensus is the 80 ohms are the most distinct - and the 32 and 250 are daily similar. I’d go 32 for listening on the go

I want to purest sound I can get. These obviously do pretty well with that. But do you think they will be alright with travel?

[@OliverJHughes]

Ha, I just responded to your comment on the Sennheiser 380 pro video! These cans have a lot more clarity than the 380s, with a similar amount of sound dampening (just blocking of sound because the cans are well padded). So if you wanted a better sound, I would go with the DT770 Pros 32ohm version. A bit more expensive than the 380s but so so worth it!

Hi, great review. I also have the Apollo Twin and want t buy the DT770 250ohms. Do I need a phone pre amp? I thought the Apollo allowed you to use headphones without pre amp.

So I bought the DT770 250 ohm... and I was not fine! Too little power. With the Apollo full volume, so no headroom, it was just 'ok'. So maybe I should get me the 80ohm?

Dang sorry to hear that! Yeah I run mine through a Neve RNHP headphone amp for that very reason - but with my apollo, unless I'm mixing, I can get them to a really nice loudness.

I have the 250 version (idk why I'm watching this video) and I can drive them fine with onboard audio. I'd say get the 250 if your amp isn't some random CH shit.

[@kalvino67]

TrackLizard I had a similar question. I just bought the Scarlett 3rd gen. Is 250ohms good for recording as well as mixing? Or is 80ohms better?

[@tracklizard4018]

​@@kalvino67 Honestly, ohm doesn't really matter too much. The general rule is to get whatever fits your source. You don't want the amp knob to be like your shower were the slightest movement has a drastic change. I'd focus on open, semi, and closed back. Open for critical mastering and closed/semi open for the studio and monitoring. This all depends on the headphone and the rest of the setup as well as your personal preference though.

[@kalvino67]

TrackLizard ok thanks for letting me know. Sounds like you actually need two headphones - closed for recording and open for mixing. I can’t seem to find one that does both well in my online research.

[@tracklizard4018]

@@kalvino67 Just find one you like and use that until you can afford another one. I'm confident you'll be fine. If you want a relatively cheap setup (and considering you're looking at beyers) you can always get the 770 and 990 which will be less than 300 euros combined.

Hello Oliver, what version should I buy for gaming and listening to music only should I get 38, 80 or 250 ohm.

[@OliverJHughes]

I'd say go with 32 or 80 - just so you know you'll be able to drive them to desired volumes without an amp!

[@AdmiralMairO]

Oliver J Hughes ok, thank you.

[@accentontheoff]

Thanks much for the reply. I think I deleted my comment by mistake. So that’s a sound option right - double amping? Is that what you have done. What about connecting to to the Mac’s headphone out. P.S. My Focusrite has only one line out and it goes to a monitoring speaker.

[@OliverJHughes]

Haha no worries! Yeah you can absolutely use the headphone out from the scarlet, you’ll just have to make sure your headphone output volume is dialed in

[@accentontheoff]

@@OliverJHughes Thanks man. It’s really good to hear this from someone who has actually done it and is not getting all technical. I was planning on giving up everything and getting a degree in electrical engineering. :) Last question. It would typically be a TRS to RCA cable right.

[@BobBob-tt3fe]

[@miss.wright3035]

The higher the impedance, the less resistance there is. And therefore an amp is required to pwoer them. It's like using 16ohm tower speakers on a cheap pyramid amp versus 4ohm spkrs with a Krell or McIntosh. 32ohm cans have alot of resistance and therefore little iphones can drive them. A 250ohm set of cans requires more mW cause they have less resistance and are thirsty for pwr. Therefore the thirstier the cans, the better sound they will project. There's no replacement for impedance displacement !

[@compuholic82]

You've got it backwards. Impedance is the AC equivalent to resistance. For DC circuits, impedance is the same as resistance. So roughly speaking high impedance is the same as high resistance. A high resistance means you need a higher voltage to put the same amount of current through a wire. Amps are limited in both their maximum voltage and current output. For high impedance headphones you are more likely to run into the voltage limit and for extremely low impendance headphones you are more likely to run into the current limit.

[@Catalinddm]

You can drive them with a decent DAC (I have a scarlett 2i2) and you will only suffer while doing live monitoring... On mixing and audio listening (even in games) it's enough. Cheers.

Can i actually use the 250ohm version directly to my rode nt usb mic? i iam afraid it cant handle it. And i have also an powerfull omen by hp gaming pc so i really like to know what is required to use the 250ohm properly

[@OliverJHughes]

Yo!! I assume the output from the NT USB is similar to a computer - and therefore it would be a lower signal on the 250 ohm version. As far as your gaming PC, do you mean you have a high-impedance headphone? Or high- impedance output?

[@danielkisel5661]

yes the impedance is not the quality benchmark 😁 It may help to get better (lower) THD values and overall dynamics with higher impedance though. Sennheisers are 300ohm but have higher sensitivity, so may be even easier to drive than DT770Pros 250ohm that have 96db sensitivity, which is bit less than lets say senns. So to get most out of Beyers you need good headphone amp otherwise you won't really know what they are capable of...

[@danielkisel5661]

I bought my DT770Pro 250ohm from sonarworks store with their individual calibration to get the most balanced, neutral reference sound for music production, mixing and mastering.

[@m.s.b.9603]

Nice vid! kind of hoping you could answer a question. Can the Marantz CD5005 CD player power the DT770 Pro 250 ohm headphones?

[@OliverJHughes]

First of all, I looked up that player and the headphone output. It has a built in headphone amp (which is pretty standard) - doesn't convince me that it will drive the 250 ohm version. SO I did a little more looking and its output is rated at 18 mW/32 ohms (variable maximum). I didn't know how to interpret that so I went to google - and basically it's the wild west when it comes to measuring amp output because there are so many variables but the GIST of everything I found is that the 250ohm Beyerdynamics would need around 2.5mW of power to drive up to 100dB of signal. The output impedance notwithstanding, you're gonna be fine. I would go for the 250ohm.
