Product Description
DT 770 STUDIO Headphones. The phrase Studio standard" is thrown around far too often when describing recording gear. That phrase has never been more accurate than when describing the DT-770 by Beyerdynamic. Beyerdynamic invented the dynamic headphone 90 years ago, and the DT-770 has been a studio standard, closed-back headphone for over 30 of those years. The DT-770 is a tracking headphone. It has high isolation to keep what's playing in your headphone in your headphone and out of your microphones. The isolation is also to keep outside sounds out of your monitor mix. The huge bass and crispy highs are there to inspire your performance throughout every session. Since these are professional, handmade in Germany tools, every part including the headband, cable, and earpads can be replaced, ensuring a life-long investment. The only difference between the DT-770 STUDIO and the classic DT-770 is the name. This 80ohm, exclusive headphone is optimized for use in professional recording studios and hi-end recording gear. The word STUDIO has been added to drive the point home that this hi-impedance headphone belongs in the studio.

I'm reviewing the DT 770 Pro 32 Ohm (now with velour pads!) I'd like to note that even though I love quality audio I wouldn't consider myself well-versed in it. The only other "quality" headphone I've had was the ATH-M50x which I enjoyed for 3 years but over time they were just getting more and more uncomfortable, to the point where I decided to just get new headphones. Since comfort was the first thing on my mind at the time I went with these, and I got the 32 ohm version for its shorter cable and easier drivability. When they were originally released they only came in a version with black pleather but now you can get them with the classic Beyerdynamic grey velour.
I can say in short that these headphones, for their price, are just fantastic, but I'll go through each feature in detail.
BUILD/LOOKS: Build quality is something I don't pay too much attention to when buying headphones but I can say that build is one of the best features of these headphones. They're big and brawny and built like a tank, with class. The headband is metal, with a snap-on leather cover which feels very nice on the head. The cups are thick and made with a hard plastic. These things can take some beatings and probably survive just fine. Definitely built to last. As previously mentioned, the ear pads are made of soft grey velour. The cable is also thick enough to withstand some damage, but is unfortunately non-detachable. This might bother some people, doesn't bother me though (at least I say that now until it breaks lol.) They do look a bit funky and large, definitely old school, but also classy and cool, with a bit of a German industrial edge. "DT 770 PRO [insert ohm here]" is embossed on the side of each cup with a silver finish and look nice.
5/5
PORTABILITY: Not the most portable headphones, but they can work as a portable. Only the 32 ohm version though, because the other versions have cables that are too long and need an amp to sound good. Still, they might be a little too big to walk around outside with and they're not the most low-key looking so keep that in mind. They'll work nice on plane and train rides though. They come with simple carrying bag that has a name tag like you'd find on a suitcase! Kinda silly, but hey, it's a nice thought.
3/5
ISOLATION: These isolate pretty well. I wear them in the office and at normal to loud volumes I really can't hear much around me, and at home with the tv on its the same thing unless the tv is loud. Not bad but not the best. The pleather pads will give you more isolation.
4/5
COMFORT: Now, yes, the acclaimed Beyer velour pads feel GREAT. They really do feel like pillows on your head. However, the comfort is not QUITE as good as I expected. Still pretty comfortable, they have a bit of a clamp, and they are a tad heavy, so I can feel a bit of pressure on the sides of my head that can get a bit uncomfortable. I find after having them on for a while they start to loosen up a bit while on my head. The cups are large which I like so no worries about my ears touching the cups. They might not be as form-fitting as a Sennheiser.
4/5
SOUND: The most important part right? I'll write about the bass, mids and treble, to what I hear in the best way I can describe.
Bass: The bass on these is the reason they're so popular. From what I've read, the 80 ohm version is tuned differently and has more bass, and that's the one that gets talked about the most, while the 32 ohm and 250 ohm, while still extended and emphasized, isn't as much and is closer to neutral bass. But it is clean and detailed, far from one note sounding, you can really hear bass lines/notes/plucks the way you should. Listen to Jaco and you can follow his bass lines easily. The sub bass is not shy and can go deep on a bass heavy track. Tracks with not much bass might be a little lacking but that's how it should sound, right? It's pretty accurate, with slight emphasis and great extension.
Mids: The mids tend to get criticized on these but that again is mainly the 80 ohm version, and most likely the added bass that just covers them more. The 32 ohm version is reported to have the most mids of the three, but is probably only slightly more than the 250 ohm. What I like about the mids is that, again, they're clear and detailed. I can hear what singers are saying better than I could with the M50x. They might be a little recessed but I don't know a whole lot about mids, and I think they sound fine. They could you a little bump in the lower mids maybe for some warmth and heft, as the upper mids can sound a bit thin, but it isn't a deal breaker. Probably not the best mids but they are just fine.
Treble: Ok...my one biggest criticism about the sound signature of these. Yes, these headphones are a little on the bright side, but I don't have much of a problem with that. The treble overall is actually just fine, and contains a nice airiness and crispness that sounds pretty pleasing. Listening to Pat Metheny's tone is beautiful, and the crispness of the cymbals in AC/DC's Back In Black sounds engaging and clean. The problem lies with its 10k peak. These things emphasize sibilance a bit too much, I think. If you listen to a recording that's already really sibilant it might sound piercing on these. I never find it painful or anything, I will say that, but it is present and a little annoying. On recordings with no sibilance there's no problem, but a sibilance overall is going to be a bit emphasized though. It's just their sound signature, and a lot of headphones have a peak in that region, even the HD800. The reason for it is because it's a part of the spectrum that is often hard to hear unless it's brought out, so engineers do it to add more details, which is nice, but it comes at the expense of sibilance. I've yet to find a recording/mastering where the treble was too much for me but those recordings did sound a bit harsh. Anything neutral will sound just a comb bright. Not much of a problem really. Treble sensitive people might think so though.
The good thing is the treble is the one area I noticed improvement after a month. Out of the box they were more bright and sibilant than they are now, and I almost returned them, but it all smoothed out nicely. I quite like it, except for that 10k peak...if it weren't for that and if they added a little warmth these would be perfect for me.
Soundstage: I already mentioned that they are very cleared and detailed across the board, and the soundstage is fantastic! One of the best out of any closed can. You can hear all the different details easily, which is good and not so good when you're listening to a bad recording because you can pick out the flaws, but I like that. They're brutally honest. You can hear the instruments and where they're located in the mix, and the field is spread wide, adding a nice sense of depth and spaciousness. Very good soundstage, probably its best sound feature.
4.5/5
These are among the most recommended closed back over-ears in this price range and for good reason. They simply sound fantastic and will blow away anyone coming from Apple Earbuds or Beats. I now prefer them much more than the M50x, which now sound bloated and muddy to me. The DT 770 PRO 32 ohm has a nice balance, again leaning slightly towards bright. They have a V-shaped sound signature, which means the bass and treble are extended, and you can hear it here nicely. Opposite of another one of the most recommended headphones I see in this price range, the K550/551/552/553/554, which are considered near flat/neutral. Get these if you want a fun, engaging and punchy sound. The AKG's might be more accurate and analytical but are also thinner/colder and not as exciting. More relaxed perhaps. Many prefer that kind of sound.
Either way, I highly recommend these headphones. For the price they're hard to beat. They used to sell for $250 and even that price would be fair, I think. And they're used in a lot of studios for recording so that should bode well. As previously mentioned, they are a bit bright and have some sibilance due to the treble peak so if you're sensitive to treble, proceed with caution. If you're not used to treble, be aware that it'll take some time to get used to it. In any case, I don't think you'll be disappointed, and I think even people who don't like this headphone would be hard pressed to call it a bad headphone :)
To anyone who might be scared of disliking the sound, it's all about getting used to them. This can happen with pretty much any headphones. Once you become accustomed to something, it's really hard to step out of that 'comfort zone' and try new things.
Plus, I'm using them in Valorant (Radiant), and I occasionally play CS2, and they work perfectly for gaming.
I'll definitely buy another if it ever breaks.
Top reviews from other countries
A veces, leo reviews de gentes que se enojan contra tal o cual headphone que compran porque no les satisface, dicen que no sirven para los "juegos" o para "escuchar música" en el celular, y vienen y comprar estos DT 770, y para colmo, los de 80 ohm o peor, los de 250. ¡Es que NO SON PARA ESO AMIGOS! No son para escuchar música, ni para jugar, son para: edición, monitoreo y mezclas. Esas tres cosas son las que con estos auriculares se hacen muy pero que muy bien, e incluso, con un poco de mañan también se puede masterizar, si se utiliza alguna que otra referencia de audio como la ofrecida por Izotope Audiolens.
También sucede, por desconocimiento, lo mismo pero al reves. Encontramos personas que quieren iniciar en el mundo de la creación musical con un DAW, y comprar auriculares PARA ESCUCHAR MÚSICA, y luego, claro, cuando hacen sus mezclas y sus master, suenan mal, no por falta de capacidad de la persona, sino porque el "monitoreo", no coincide con lo que está escuchand, suena bien "aquí", pero no suena bien "allá", y vienen los desengaños.
Estos auriculares son ALCAHUETES, es decir, están hechos para cantarte la verdad de lo que está sucediendo. Si escuchamos, por ejemplo, temas en alga calidad a un buen volumen, podemos inmediatamente juzgar si están bien o mal masterizados, todo se hace muy evidente.
Parece mentira, pero, por ejemplo, el tema llamado "My Inmortal" de Evanescence, está mal mezclado y mal masterizado, aunque es una preciosidad de tema. Con estos auriculares se hacen más que evidentes los desequilibrios de frecuencias y las malas deciciones, sobre todo en las frecuencias bajas. Así también, por ejemplo, podemos ver la quasi perfección lograda en el tema llamado "Happy" de Pharrell Williams, es una mezcla y un masterisado increíblemente perfecto. Ni que hablar si vamos al tema de Earth Wind and Fire "September", espectacular, de los mejores logrados en toda la historia de la música, en cuanto a mezcla y masterizado.
¿Quieres auriculares para jugar? Hay cien mejores que estos, y además, muchos, más baratos.
¿Quieres monitorizar, graver voces, bajo, guitarra, hacer mezclas? Es perfecto y de gran valor, y lo que da, calidad-precio, es bastante difícil de doblegar.
Estos auriculares tienen 31 años en el mercado, y no es una casualidad, es que están súper bien pensados, muy bien medidos, cumplen con la funsión para lo que han sido creados, MONITORIZAR, por encima de todas las cosas, simplemente, porque te dicen la verdad de lo que estás escuchando.
¿Los quieres para simplemente, escuhcar música? ¡No son para eso! No los compres porque todas las imperfecciones de las mezclas y masterizados te van a golpear la cara. Algo más hecho, (como hay tanto y tanto), te golpeará las orejas a lo bestia, tanto puede ser en la sibilancia, (exagerados agudos, lo más común), como puede ser con sub-bajos que te dan dolor de cabeza.
Si tienes que estar equalizando cada tema que vas a escuchar, o cada album, la verdad, es una lata que nadie quiere sufrir. Compra otra cosa, ve y estudia los sitios dedicados a los audiófilos y allí encontrarás muy buenas opsiones.
Estos auriculares, hablando claro y francamente, SON SOBRE TODO PARA MÚSICOS.
Espero haberte ayudado a bien elegir.
So, I am conflicted with this idea (or should I say, confused) with reading reviews on these 770's (80's) stating they need a period of time to break-in to sound good? Before I get into this experience, it's important to share that I have spent a good and fair amount of time "researching" personal experiences from others regarding these headphones, comparing specs, pro's, con's, application resistance, etc. I have compared to many other brands that all fit in that affordable (but generous price point) between $180 - $300 that offer good sound, durability, comfort and value. Without actually test driving in a store, I relied on the online world hoping for a positive result by choosing the right headset for my desired sound quality and use. My use is mainly home use, listening to prerecorded music of all kinds, from Metal to Jazz on a home stereo receiver, a quite powerful and clean producing harman kardon to be specific. My receiver delivers excellent sound quality (and not lacking in power), with very clean frequency. After being convinced these 770's (with an 80 ohm resistance) was the right medium that may be used with a PC and / or power receiver, I pulled the trigger on a set. Many reviewers compared the same design, closed back headsets, in this price range (without mentioning all the other "compared" brands that do not, did not, seem to measure up to what these 770's deliver) and this headset seems to beat them all. Ok, lets give them a try!?
Next important point, I listen loud! I like deep base, clear mids and sharp highs, which with heavy ROCK, all music is prerecorded differently and some bands F*** it up all together.. (Metallica, ST Anger, O...and, and Justice for All, the sub driver destroyer, HA!) ...so, I am understood not any one headset is going to please the ears with every genre..however, I am looking for just a good "all-rounded" quality headset that at least have the capability to reach the frequency's, I will adjust volume and frequency's accordingly, depending on what my playback is. Distortion, obviously, is not acceptable.
Finally, delivered, plugged them in to finally hear what "everyone"?? ...has been saying about them...that they are awesome delivering deep base, very clear mids and highs. Ya, I was SOLD on pages of reviews and seems only a few complained (slightly negative experience, which is to be expected with any product, but compared to the others, these 770's have them all beat!) ....so after plugging in, I put just a little bit of power to them, my first reaction was, WTF is this! F****** HORRIBLE sound,...distortion at a super low volume, the bass (for the little that was barely existent "farted out" the mids and highs terribly, even the vocals. This headset delivered crap! Farted out distortion, at LOW volume. (In comparison, I have a set of SONY's (MDR V-150's) that have been through a war! They have been punching, kicking, screaming, dropped, pulled, beer soaked, abused in every way you can abuse a headset for 15 years now and they still sound EPIC compared to these 770's?? I was not giving up, I refused the sound that was being delivered. I tried about 6 different genre's of music, adjusted volume, bass (all frequency's), started checking connections, my source equipment, etc. The sound was complete distortion without even putting any juice to them. Disappointed, to say respectfully. These 770's are absolute garbage, OR...they may perhaps be defected. That was my final diagnosis after checking every sound delivering source component and connection, this headset must be defective. There is NO way, all of those reviewers are wrong.
Back online, to research ONLY foul reviews regarding these 770's...and what I found was this, they need a break in period? Some consumers, having the same experience as I have. Some, re-packaging and sent back, to receive another set with the exact same "issue" (fart producing punch with a side of painful all frequency distortion) I am not sold on the break-in idea, that any headset needs to "run" to break-in to produce good sound. The drivers need to loosen up? Seriously? Nope. Sorry, not accepting this BS. I can accept that they are just a S*** headset and will not fill my listening needs, that is more possible than a headset that needs a drive around the block to run on all cylinders.... but, ok, I will surrender my common sense.... lets test this theory. My only option is sending them back so I will give them this break-in "requirement".
...just another side note; The only other thought I had was, I am having trouble accepting that a crap product has come from German manufacturing (electronic engineering and production) from Germany has and always was, above many electronic products (among many other different German products) regarding quality, durability, SOUND, etc. German engineering has always been excellent, (my experience) which was just another reason I purchased these 770's, boasting that they are in fact, made in Germany. A close runner to Germany has also been Japan.... but ya, that one fact also contributed selling me on this headset ....anyway, my method of breaking in these 770's.
I gave them 48 hours. I plugged in a steady stream of music through my hk receiver, plugged in the 770's. I left them at a forgiving volume (not cranked) ...just at a low listening volume, all day, all night, while I was at work, while I was sleeping, just on for a straight 48 hours (low volume and flat frequency's so I would not over-heat and damage the headset). Every 12 hours, I changed the genre music channel to run different music frequency's and styles, one day even just a "nature" sound stage. ...then finally, a moment of truth!!?? Am I keeping these or sending back with a foul review?
Result, astounded! These 770's are a completely different animal now....producing an incredible, clean and low end frequency (NOT disturbing ALL of the other mids and high's any more, at all! I am reaching a volume now that is nearly double what I started out with only a week ago with a decent low end, clean as can be mids and sweet, sharp high's. The vocals are incredibly defined. They are like listening to a 3 way speaker with a separate sub....kind-of what my original expectations were. It's been a hard pill to swallow, that any headset needs a good amount of steady juice run through them before sounding, good, but I have to surrender my common sense has been challenged and defeated, in this regard.
Yes, a long story to explain to get to this point, however, from my experience starting off with these, I hope (and felt) this explanation needs to be told and understood in the right context, especially if you have received this headset, had the same disappointment, and decided to return before... doing perhaps just what your 770's need....some run in time to punch out the drivers a little bit, so they can actually "PRODUCE" and deliver a pleasurable sound experience.
Give the break in theory a try, before re-packaging and returning.
It was, ALL my 770's needed. Now, wow! Just wow!
Celebrating my patience and my defeated cynical opinion today!
Ebbene, questa cuffia è onesta, trasparente, con ottimi bassi, sufficientemente frenati ma generosi, medi che, in accoppiata con il mio OTL sono gradevolissimi, alti estesi e per nulla affaticanti. Il grado di dettaglio nella riproduzione è più che sufficiente. Il soundstage, poi, mi ha sorpreso per una cuffia chiusa ed entry level.
Nonostante l'elevata impedenza, la cuffia funziona bene anche se collegata direttamente al mio MacBook. Ma non è nata per quello e, dunque, se fosse stata quella la destinazione abituale, avrei preferito qualcos'altro.
Invece, collegata al mio piccolo valvolare, la DT 770 pro 250 ohm fa miracoli.
Mi sentirei di dire che se avesse il cavo staccabile e se, per la costruzione, la plastica fosse sostituita da materiali più nobili (legno, alluminio, pelle naturale), questa cuffia potrebbe essere serenamente venduta al triplo del suo prezzo attuale, giacché, a mio modesto avviso, la qualità del suono regge serenamente il confronto con cuffie più costose.
Va comunque detto che la costruzione, nonostante l'abbondanza di plastica, è ben realizzata: cuffia leggera, priva di fastidiosi scricchiolii, ragionevolmente confortevole e, all'apparenza, solida.
Infine, tutta nera, è persino gradevole alla vista.
