DT 770 Pro X Over-Ear Studio Wired Headphones for Recording and Monitoring (Closed) with Detachable Cable Handmade in Germany (48 Ohms, Black)

I have had an HD600 and Grado RS1 for the past 25 years and happy with them. Recently I decided to get a closed back for airtravel and to listen to music when others are watching TV. So got this DT770 Pro X , not expecting too much - after all it is closed back and I had the top of the line open-backs already. Well, it is very comfortable and well engineered, decent sound isolation. As for the sound - I was blown away. I now use this most of the time. It really shines on well recorded Classical and Jazz music. Piano sounds particularly great. I think the engineers got the sound balance just right. The bass goes low and is tight. The midrange is slighly recessed which I like - music sounds less "shouty". The treble is extremely precise and crystal clear. Our ears freq sensitivity is much flatter at high volumes. These headphones have a V-shaped spectrum which matches human hearing sensitivity spectrum at low to moderate volumes ( around 70 db). So, if you listen to rock music at high volumes, the high frequency bump may feel exaggerated and the mids too scooped out. If you use headphones at high volumes , in a few years you wont have to worry about the high frequencies - dont do it! This headphone is perfect for low/moderate volume listening to Classical/Jazz - better than my other two. Exceptional really. I got the Newfantasia replacement cord (4 ft) - which has a short connector ( does'nt hit your shoulder!) , perfect length for desktop use and a nice braided cable.

After buying many cheap wired headphones over the years, and growing contempt towards bluetooth headphones since they're increasingly made more to be landfill within a year so you purchase more of these companies $300 dollar headphones with the same obsolescence, I decided to suck it up and pay the price for a set of good quality wired headphones. Whatever I got I wanted it to be my last headphone purchase ever, so I got these after research and recommendations from trusted sources. WOW, I have not been disappointed! Right off the bat, these have the best passive noise cancelling than any wireless headphones with ANC that I've ever tried, and trust me, I've had a good few over the years, and the fact it doesn't require battery to run is amazing! I was able to listen to music with these at a comfortable level in my living room as a family member played videogames at a high volume, what I did hear was so minimal it may as well have not been there, and mind you the tv was loud and I was directly under one of our mounted speakers, nothing! The sound is so clear and my music sounds better than it's ever been! Add the fact that I can replace a lot of the parts and don't have to throw these away if I need new ear pads or cord. There are some things that are annoying that I wish would change, but aren't big enough issues to knock it down a star. One, I wish the cans had swivel to them. After using many headphones that swivel their fixed position was a little uncomfortable to get around. Although I am used to it now and the size of the cups themselves make up for it, I still do wish they could swivel to fit more comfortably on my head. The second issue, though not nearly as big a deal, is the cord, specifically where it plugs into the headphones feels unnecessarily long and bumps into my neck, but I feel purchasing a quality cable with a shorter plug length can fix that just fine. All in all, a great pair of headphones that should actually last me my lifetime, definitely worth the purchase. If you have only bought cheap headphones in the past and you're sick of bluetooth headphones and their increasing planned obsolescence, bite the bullet and just buy these headphones! It will be worth it, and will cost you less in the long run.

In my unprofessional, beginning audiophile opinion I think these are absolutely fantastic. I don't chase trends of streamers and am actually annoyed that I thought to give these a try based off of seeing steamers wear the 990 Pros and original 770 Pros. But after years of being in the fence, I took the plunge and I love these. They are the most comfortable headphones I've worn that aren't the Sony XM5's. Even then, I can wear these longer than I can wear those. I wanted headphones that would be good for gaming with a good amount of music listening and appreciating and these just hit the spot. Coming from a gaming headset (Razer Kraken V3, Hyper X Cloud 2) I did not know how much I appreciated clear and clean sound. It was a night and day difference as you would hope and expect from a headset that is dedicated to its craft in sound and not splitting it's interests with a mic, RGB and price gouge simply because it has gaming in the name. I just don't want to go back to gaming headsets at all after this and I know it gets even better from here with Sennheiser, Hifiman and so on. I don't know why I was being so dumb with gaming headsets before. These do everything so much better if you just get your own dedicated mic (if needed) I just love how detailed these are and I get so much more out of music listening to these than I thought was possible. I'm hearing things I haven't heard before in songs I listen to multiple times a week. That being said, compared to other headphones that aren't trying to be audiophile headphones, these are probably going to sound very harsh, albeit detailed, which lines up with most of what I'd heard about these headphones before purchasing. They did sound harsh for me at least. Again I want to clarify this is all in my unprofessional opinion which I'm sure sounds juvenile to people who really know their stuff. In order to tame them a bit, I got FX Sound downloaded and messed with the EQ and since I can't shake some of the niceties of gaming headsets, turned up the bass as well in order to really get that little extra bit of immersion in Squad, STALKER, and so on. After tuning though, I just loved these even more. I was really able to warm them to a perfect for me amount. Getting a dac that is known for being warm will also help a ton I'm sure. On top of all these, these are built like tanks. I'm sure the original 770 Pro's are the same, I just got these because they're a bit newer I like the design of these more, and most importantly, I heard they were a bit less harsh and more bass-y which, I don't know if that's true, but I love everything about these, the velvet-ish earpads, weight, room they give my ears when wearing them, default sound and especially sound after light EQ'ing, even down to how they look in my office. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for sub $200 detailed headphones for mixed use.

I love these headphones so much! They have a nice bright sound response to them, are very comfortable to wear (not nearly as much clapping force as the original DT 770 Pro, especially when paired with Dekoni Cooling Gel or Jersey ear pads), and are highly sustainable and versatile due to the ease of installation of replacement parts. The long, removable cord, is a very welcomed quality of life addition to this revision and can be upgraded to a USB-C DAC option (sold separately) if the device you're listening to has a poor sound card or lacks an audio jack. These are easily the best headphones for this price point and I couldn't be happier with them!

This is my second pair of BD phones. I purchased the DT880 Premium Edition back in 2021, and was very happy with them. They are semi-open, so they had the advantage of less ear fatigue after many hours of mixing. But the left side suddenly stopped producing a signal and I was past the warranty date, so while I wait for that pair to get repaired, I figured I better find a replacement. I spent several hours researching and reading reviews. After concluding that I am very happy with the weight and fit of the BD brand, I decided to stick with them, despite the premature failing of my previous pair. I went with the DT770 Pro X this time, the closed back means I'll be sacrificing the ear fatigue for a tighter soundstage. I'm a producer/composer and spend about 10 hours every day at my mixing desk. I occasionally use my Adam A5 desk monitors, but end up doing most of my mixing through the cans. But I'm not officially an audiophile, and I'm not that techy, so I won't give specs on frequency range or other details. Suffice to say, these headphones sound incredible. Solid low-end and very crisp, clear highs. My mixes have never sounded better. The BD headphones tend to have a very flat frequency response, so what you hear in your cans is well-represented across other sound sources. Your mixes won't end up colored with too much bass or high mids when you go to do the car test. These drivers appear to be more powerful than the DT880 also, I find I am leaving the volume knob on my interface between 10:00 and 1:00 instead of cranked up to 3:00 as they often were with the DT880. That could be an ohmage factor, though. Like I said, not that techy. My favorite feature of these phones are the comfort (the velour ear pads are supreme. I can't abide the sticky faux leather/protein material other brands use). They are very snug, but don't clamp your head, and the headband has an extra recess at the peak so it doesn't press down on the peak of your head. I sometimes forget I am wearing them. I also appreciate the classic looks of the phones. One reason I never purchased the Sennheiser brand (I do own Sony, AT, AKG and Samson headphones as well), is their odd ear cup shape. I don't want to look like a weird alien has attached itself to my head. The detachable cable is a big plus too. I'd hate to have to replace $200 headphones because a $3 part failed. Someone else mentioned in their review that if someone told them this is what $1000 headphones sounded like, they wouldn't be surprised. I think these cans punch way above their weight and I'll be recommending them to all my home studio buddies.

I wanted a pair of closed back headphones that delivered an essentially flat frequency response across a very wide spectrum. I finally settled on these: studio quality, comfortable for extended use, and could drive bit-perfect input with ease. My external DAC is attached to a USB port, and I use foobar2000 and Qobuz in exclusive mode. Other playback apps are used in shared mode. The sound delivered in shared mode is great, but the sound delivered by exclusive mode is fantastic. The impedance (48 ohms) is low enough that I can drive the headphones via most any device, to include my android phone and iPad. But it is through the external DAC that it really shines. The only downside I have found in the last three weeks of use are 1. The cable supplied is much too long for my environment, about nine feet, and 2. there is a metal on metal small click when I first put on the headphones. Hightly recommended.

Over all this thing is built like a tank but for 200$ there are way better options. The sound is pretty interesting where they do offer plenty of bass, the midrange (to me) feels a little too forward. A few songs I listen to seem to sound too jumbled up and tasteless while other songs (mostly hip hop/r&b) do pretty well. Now the high end oh gosh. Absolutely unbearable. I cannot listen to these at moderate/high volume levels or else they feel like they're pierceing my ear drums. Definitely leaves your ears ringing after you take them off but some people like that. Overall if the drivers were tuned much better they'd for sure be worth it at their price point of 200 dollars considering they are a freaking tank but nonetheless you can't really expect studio monitor headphones to be music listener oriented.

After lowering the treble and messing with the pre-amplifier in the Peace software, hands down amazing. If sound quality gets better than this, I have a lot more to look forward to. With some EQ (I’m sensitive to trebles) these earphones are phenomenal. Without EQ, I don’t think I could use these headphones due to the sharp treble. The bass isn’t a thud but more so a sound. A pleasant sound of the vibrations at different levels. Like the sound feels so full and alive. I’m not an audiophile, but I can make out the instruments, and it’s just such a surreal experience. This is my first studio headset coming from a Bose NC 700 for general use and the RIG 700 Pro HS for my gaming console. For the money, I don’t know if something could beat this by a lot. My motherboard has an integrated amplifier, so that could be a factor, but I don’t know. I’m still learning how all of these things fit together, but this is my favorite headset right now. A bit hard to listen to my older ones unless I’m in the mood for bass. Also hard to put these down because they sound amazing. I’m really blown away. Also I never really write reviews, so this saying something. Okay. I got it. I know how to describe it for my first term with a headset like this. It’s like I’m there at the concert… in the room… wow.. I think this what people mean when they speak of the soundstage. I can’t uplift this headset enough. It looks good. It’s super comfortable. It’s good value for the cost. Okay. I’m done. Just wanted to give the information at a different level as it it may be helpful!
