Love your reviews Sanjay, I’m a hobbyist music producer and I always end up mixing with low bass while using the 990 pros, it may be really worth switching/upgrading to the 700 pro X just to get accurate on the bass mixes. I have to rely on headphones because I live in an apartment and can’t have my monitors too loud.

[@migats2160]

About the dt 770 pro headphones loudness, you can buy this model for different loudness ranges (32, 80 and 250 Ohm). However, more Ohm also means less cable noises.

[@archerofficial5603]

I have the 990 Pro (250 ohm) and wanted to know the deference. This was by far the best video. Thank you so much! Ill keep mine, and possibly get the closed back. Subscribed!

i have dt700 pro and im AMAZED by their sound stage and clarity, needed only a bit of corrective eq , was pretty easy to correct these :) absolutely destoyed akg 1k closed back studio headphones I had that i sent back.

[@lundsweden]

Great review, Sanjay C does this kind of review so well! I like the 48 Ohm rating of the ProX, plus the removable cable and other parts, so I've gone with the 700 ProX. The problem with 250 Ohm headphones is they don't work with most instruments like keyboards and grooveboxes, or listening devices such as phones, tablets ect. as you'll need a headphone amp to drive it. This is not practical for mobile music making. The 770s do come in a 80 Ohm version but are not much cheaper than the ProX in Australia. The 770s are about the same price as the Sonys here as well, which is weird!

[@fabienbouisset]

I'm surprised also not seeing a comparison (or a mention) for the 770 - 80 Ohm. Isn't it more compareable knowing that the proX is louder?

[@lundsweden]

The ProX has much better build, and comes with two detachable (mini XLR) headphone cables.

[@cottonlarry8470]

How is it even possible? Why is the ProX cheaper than 770/990?

[@dehydro]

@@cottonlarry8470 He said that the 770 Pro 80 ohm is "not much cheaper" than the Pro X, which would mean they are cheaper, but not by much. The new Pro X line is still more expensive.

[@dehydro]

Hey, if you've gotten to listen to the 700 Pro X already, do you mind sharing what you think about the highs? Almost every review mentions that they aren't as clear as on the older 770/990 Pro, probably due to the lower impedance. Thanks in advance!

[@DohBoi863]

Just got mine in the mail today from Zzounds... this is my 1st pair of Beyerdynamic Headphones and I must say they may the best headphones I've ever used. I was hoping these weren't lacking in bass for when I want to make some beats and they absolutely do not lol these headphones have a nice sound all the way around for my needs which is tracking Hip Hop Vocals and making beats so to anyone that does the same I can't recommend these enough especially for the price. Thanks Sanjay for helping me make the right choice!

[@guitarstreet]

Thanks for this video Sanjay! The DT 700 PRO X headphones look sweet. How would they compare to Neumann NDH20? Thanks!

[@UTSONUT]

thanks for the review! i was hoping for more elaborate review on sound quality! the rest is easy to see (detachable everything) can you clarify 1) even though the 700s are closed, and technically open back 900s can have better separation for purpose of MIXING, you still think that the 700s can be used for mixing? this is confusing only bec even Beyerdynamic on their catalog states 3 out of 5 for 700s for mixing, and i think 4 or 5 for 900s 2) the 700 pro x reviews say they have too much bass = more than 770s (enjoyable sub bass for audiophiles but not necessarily for producers/ mixers). Did you feel that wayl? 3) did the 900s sound Too bright (some reviews say) so overall my ques. which is more neutral 700 vs 900? (seems like 700 have hyped bass, more neutral highs compared to 900 , vs 900 has "normal" unhyped bass, boosted highs (sometimes sharp and excessive) , but also a wider / bigger soundstage due to being open i do appreciate that you mentioned that 700s are more useful bec. they allow you to cut out outside noise (most pros still promote open backs for mixing)

[@MatthewAndrew111]

I see options for 250-80 ohms. In a separate video I saw you explain how you like 250 better for mixing so I’m curious what makes you like the pro x line more since they’re 48 ohms.

[@gwkiv1458]

I would like to see his or other people's takes on this as well.

[@JN-qj9gf]

I have 32 and 250 ohm Beyers. The 250's are probably clearer (2 diff models), but I think the differences are more in how they modified the old DT driver for 32 ohm vs a totally new driver. I don't buy that higher impedence makes a better speaker, and I believe 80-250 ohms was a utilitarian design choice by BD. Consider super high end, money-no-object studio monitors - if it mattered they'd be making these with greater impedence than 4-8 ohm.

[@hrodebertcoad9848]

@@JN-qj9gf Monitors have a bit more... "natural impedance" let's say, in that they have to deal with a lot more air pressure when they operate compared to the much smaller diaphragms in headphones. I believe it's usually about damping, as you'd notice some cheaper low impedance headphones sound muddy even if the general construction of the drivers is sound. Usually this is the results of sounds not dying off fast enough. I guess speakers would also have the benefit that the noise is also typically way quieter than sound from the main signal that's driving it. There are plenty of other factors of course, sound is a complex and complicated thing to engineer for.

[@YOGIKRASPRO]

In a nutshell you can’t compare directly impedance of two completely different headphones. Dt 700 pro x has new designed transducer which acts differently than old one used in dt 770 pro. Because those are built in different way they sound different. Unless your signal source has high impedance (greater than 5 ohms) you will be fine with 700 (couse their impedance is a bit lowwer than 50 ohms). Low impedance in those headphone also make them more versatile. You should also have in mind that lots of headphones made for audiophiles has low impedance. In summary both headphones have unique sound and both are extremely clear and using them is joyful experience. I hope this makes sense for you. Regards

[@ntsikelelondlovu]

It's called marketing, my guy.

[@rabbitknight]

Better upgrade path! The DT700 pro X sure looks comfy. The pads seem thicker than DT770 as well. A great mid point between 770 and 1770.

[@SanjayC]

Yeah good move by Beyerdynamic

[@SrKulay]

I honestly think they will beat the 1770. Those didn't measure very well

[@worldgonewrong2049]

Good review. You stated that the 770's 250 ohm version have better separation/imaging than the 80 ohm version. So, have the 700's, with 48 ohm resistance, have the same or better separation/imaging than the 770's 250 ohm? What has been sacrificed in the 700 to accommodate the flexibility of plugging in pretty much anywhere without a hp amp?

[@nicktan4530]

Hello let me explain to you. I have the Dt 770 250 ohms the old version. The truth, is yes 250 ohms is clearly the superior ones in seperation/imaging although your mileage may vary depending on your ears and source. 80 ohms have more oomph to the bass response. I have no idea about the 48 ohm resistance, no it does not have the same separation/imaging. For watever reason, the impedance have different tuning and have no idea why, over signature remains the same. The sacrifice of the lower impedance are less performance of separation/imaging, tighter bass response and detail as well as clarity. Not as less distortion but to the human ear, its beyond our hearing in terms of distortion and noise.

[@norsmusicremixes]

amazing review! and BD is a great brand, always offering quality at a good price!

Are the earcups the same size? Watching from your video, the earcups on 700/900 PRO X looks smaller than the DT 770/990 Pro. Great video btw.

[@mister_xenomorph]

I've absolutely loved my DT 1990 Pro's since I bought them, and actually knew the very first time I listened to them I would be replacing my HD6XX's with them. If I want something closed-back, I'll definitely look into the 700 Pro X's 👀

[@SanjayC]

yes...that would be a great combo!

[@Milchschndde]

I rly wonder how the dt 900 pro X compare to the dt 1990...

[@EggiTheShadow]

The 1770 would be closer to what you're used to since it uses the same driver as the 1990. I think you would be disappointed with the 770, i haven't heard this new version 700 x but based off my listening with the old version it just doesn't compare to the 1990. Highly suggest for you to go to a shop and give them both a listen and decide from there. 1770's are really aggressive though, a completely different experience to the 1990

[@mister_xenomorph]

@@EggiTheShadow Considering the 1770 Pro's are twice the price of the 700 X's, I'd probably look into the latter first unless I could afford the former at the time 😅 I also use SoundID Reference when mixing, so by then I'd figure a profile for the 700 X's would've been produced.

[@EggiTheShadow]

@@mister_xenomorph Ah okay haha i wasn't considering prices. I usually listen to the natural sound of a headphone cause i don't produce music, but since you're using soundid refernce i guess it doesn't really matter which one you get they'll all be fairly similar anyway.

[@lateam9786]

Wow I wish I knew these were coming. Seems like they fixed a lot of my complaints with the 770

[@housepianist]

I bought the 770 Pro 80 Ohms a few weeks ago as of this comment thinking they, and the 990 Pro would be around without an upgrade for quite some time. And not even a week with them, Beyerdynmics comes out with the 700 and 900 Pro X's. Ugh! As tempting as it is to want to upgrade, I really do enjoy the tuning of the 770s and they make my music so much more dynamic and spacious. As far as that treble peak everyone seems to have issues with, I find it offers a level of detail that I really like. I think maybe the complaints about it come from those who listen to their music way too loud which can really drive that 8k peak pretty hard. However, at lower to moderate volumes, it's very tolerable and welcome in my book. And out of all the headphones I've owned in the 40+ years I've been an audiophile/music lover, the 770's are the only ones that have an audible and present sub-bass. If it's in the music, they present it so distinctly. Even if the sub-bass is not in the music, I can hear some trailing ends to it if it's out there waiting to be presented. In fact, despite its well-presented, detailed and punchy bass, these are not basshead cans! I don't know how Beyerdynamics does it but that's a quality I will never give up! But dang, those 700 Pro X's! --sigh--

Would you recommend the dt 770 250 ohm for general music listening. I have the 600ohm dt 880 & 990 edition series and loved them. As you can see I'm a Beyer fan and want to complete the series. I don't do studio work, just merely a music listener. Are the 700 pro the way to go? Great vid. Thank you

[@TommyPrydeIV]

I was hoping you would get into how these compare with your Neumann headphones. Are they both similar in terms of mixing and critical listening?

[@Nayah9]

I bought both the 700 Pro X and the 770 Pro 80 ohm. Here's my two cents: - The 700 doesn't just have lower treble than the 770, it feels like there is no treble at all. All of the air and detail we enjoy in music, gone. Yes, the 770's treble can get a little excessive at times but it's still better than having almost zero treble in my opinion. - The 700 has better sub-bass extension which is great but the mid-bass has a higher bump than on the 770 which makes kick drums annoyingly overpowered. They've replaced the treble spike of the 770 with a mid-bass spike instead. Pick your poison. - The 700 sounds a bit muffled compared to the 770. Maybe it's the new thick filter fabric they put over the drivers, but the 770 sounds a little clearer and it's not just the higher treble giving off that impression. I've heard other reports of the 700 and 900 Pro X sounding like there is a veil over the music. - The 700 has a narrower soundstage than the 770. Not by much, but it's noticeable. - The 700 has a much higher clamp force which makes it way less comfortable than the 770, despite having deeper earpads. And I don't have a very big head. In conclusion, I'd go for the 770 Pro as it has a clearer sound, a wider soundstage, is more comfortable and cheaper. The treble spike and lower sub-bass can easily be fixed with EQ and the 770 Pro can easily be modded to have a detachable cable (just look at a KZbin tutorial). The 80 ohm version has just enough volume when driven by a phone but the 32 ohm version and 700 Pro X can get louder. Hope that helps some people make a more informed decision. Peace!

I don’t know what year your DT770 were made - but since the fall of 2020, Beyerdynamic has tuned the sound of this 770 family (they went in a black and orange box). I have DT770 (80 Ohm, autumn 2021) and I will tell you that their midrange sounds very sharp at times and cannot be called V-shaped 😉

[@DerekPower]

Yup, still have the 990 and I use them as my mixing/mastering headphones. I recently added Sony MDR-7506 as tracking headphones. I learn and have been learning the EQ curves for them. Plus the Waves NX room emulations - Abbey Road Studio 3, Ocean Way, CLA - has those curves for compensation. That is a good point with the open back. I will add that while it can be annoying depending on the environment, open back does allow for some room interaction and this is usually why it’s recommended for mastering purposes.

[@adamgreenhill110]

Those plugins are good, I use Sonarworks with my 1990's and makes a world of difference. Open back is good for accuracy, but they don't have "room interaction"; that's a misconception. They just leak sound instead of reflecting inside the cups, making an 'open' sound. But your room doesn't reflect enough sound to 'add' anything

[@DerekPower]

@@adamgreenhill110 Thanks for the correction. Admittedly, I hadn’t thought about it since I first purchased the 990 back in 2008.

[@gautamrawat900]

hey Sanjay I think Dt 990 pro works pretty decent with sonarworks reference 4, no complain about them after sonarworks, i think it delivers accuracy after i switch to Sonarworks. Whats your thoughts on that?

[@SanjayC]

I like Sonarworks but I prefer the natural sound of the headphones.

[@ThroughFallenEyes]

Can't find frequency response graphs so I think I'll be sticking to my Shure SRH840 headphones as my closedback. The leather is starting to flake after 10 years of daily use but they still function great.

[@SrKulay]

Wait for DMS's review FR charts and comparisons with the 770, 990, 1990, 880 and Tygr are likely to be featured there

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

I know they say you should mix with open backs but to me it's more personal preference and not just what works best for one person works perfect for everyone. Just my thoughts on that, feel it's just being said way too much however I do think it's good that you're using both open and closed backs as they point out different things and give you better idea in mixing.

[@pilotgfx]

Humans like to oversimplify things to make up simple rules of what to do and not. Saying never mix on X is as absurd as saying you should only paint with X type of brushes. Use exactly as many brushes as you find appropriate, listen on exactly as many devices as you find appropriate

[@barryjamesmusicPH]

you convinced me. purchased the 700 pro x!

[@SanjayC]

Hope you enjoy them! :-)

[@barryjamesmusicPH]

@@SanjayC will do!!! these really work well in the studio. flat accurate clean and loud! thanks for your great review! :)

[@managingaccounts]

Hi Loads of Thanks for the detailed and precise review of the Beyerdynamics. I have a question, I do not sing just do voice over in order to post it on podcast, on the voiceover I add purchased music on background and edit all this on Logic Pro, thus can I simply plug dt 700 pro x (closed) into my Mac and start editing on Logic Pro or this headphone will only work with soundcard?

[@czdot]

I changed earpads on my DT770 80Ohm and they are pretty good now. That MountBeyer peak is gone and I still think they remained detailed. I wonder the new lineup is really more worth it for 300 dollars compared to DT770 with some tweaks.

[@mozambique9113]

yeah, the "upgrade" isnt that wooooow comparing to over 140 dollars price raised.

[@gwkiv1458]

What pads did you pick up? Have they changed the accuracy and isolation of the headphones overall?

[@kenny1463]

Great video Sanjay:) Do you think the 770 Pros 80 ohms are good to be hooked to a MacBook for mixing audio for videos? Or would I be better off with the 32 ohms?

[@SanjayC]

I've used my 250 ohms with my laptop and its been fine. So in my opinion 80 would be even better (volume wise)

[@kenny1463]

@@SanjayC Thanks a lot Sanjay👍🏼

[@underwatersunlight3795]

Nice review, Sanjay! I have 2 questions: 1. How do the 990 Pro X compare to the 1990 Pro? 2. Do you think that BD will also soon update the 1990 Pro line with an „X-version“?

[@SanjayC]

I don't think the 1990 line will be updated because it already has some of the features like detachable cable. In my opinion, the 1990 is amazing. One of my fav headphones ever.

[@NeonPizzas]

I’m worried about sound leak. I’m torn between the 1770 pro and 1990 pro. Ideally I’d go with the 1990 but only if sound leak isn’t a problem with my appartment neighbours

[@HappyMixingStudio]

nice video !

[@thatchinaboi1]

Nothing beats the Sennheiser HD300 Pros for overall design, comfort, versatility, and sound.

[@strykeback1]

Have you tried the slate VSX headphones? I know you’ve got a great room so really no need but I’m curious of your honest opinion

[@correlatedcuisine]

Heads up, that while Beyerdynamic's website still states 24-48h shipping for the 700 Pro X in the US, they are currently on a 4-6 week backorder per my inquiry into support. It's been 2.5 weeks since I placed my order.

[@pilotgfx]

i bought the 700 Pro X and the sound is great, but i dont know if my head is unusually large or they are super tight. they are literally sucking out air of my skull through my ears making them very tiring to wear. i always had a strong preference for open back, but wanted to also have the sound of a closed back at hand. I even put it around a bucket a few days to expand it. No success. Any thoughts?

[@jasonscoggins01]

Thank you

[@Suresh-rl5zr]

which one will be better for casual listening ? not for mixing or any studio type.. only for musical listening.. does this type of neutral sounds ( as per reviews) good for casual home listening ? thanks

[@svarogstudio]

I would love to try these as a beyerdynamic user my self (DT990)... but it isn't really a fair fight, I mean these cost twice as much, so I would only assume they must be better. They should have put the detachable cable in all of their headphones though in my opinion... I really hate the coiled telephone cable my 990 come with.

[@modular7even717]

I bought a pair of dtt 770's for tracking, and sent them back, but they were comfortable and best for putting on your head if your recording vocals. Maybe I got a pair of bad ones, there was a big scoop in the midrange, the snares sounded more like hi hats, the tops were just too much. Ended up getting some sennheisers, not perfect, but way better overall.

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

probably defects

[@RidtheXS]

Sounds about right, that was the case for me too and i returned them. There is a scoop in low mids and the highs are quite piercing.

[@ettiennelane9173]

I have a good idea that the high end on the 770 is about 10dB louder than flat response at 10k. Crazy!

[@MIRAJADESIGN]

Sanjay, It’s been about 3 months since you posted this video. How do you feel about the 700 Pro X now?

[@Nehemiahn1]

Awesome Review, Can i please have the old one? so i can finally own something from my icon.😃😃😃

[@walterezequiel6394]

I record music on a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (1st Gen), do you recommend me the DT700 PRO X or the DT770 PRO for recording? Also want to use them casually to listen some music, but the mainly use will be for recording. Greetings from Argentina.
