Great Headphones [Posted on 2006-11-12]
I ave owned the DT770 PRO's for about a year and a half now and have NO problems with them. They produce a very clear sound stage and when it comes to the different levels, bass is on the heavier side (which I like), the mid's are very decent and you can hear the changes when you have a high-end sound card on your computer, then trouble which is very clean and clear.
I have had these headphones at all the different volume ranges and they handle them all like a PRO. I currently have a Sound Blaster XFi Platinum Edition and it suits these headphones very well.
Basically, if you are looking for a great sound for gaming, listening to music on a liesure level or just wearing them since they are so comfortable and you need to drown out some of the noise around you, these are a great pair of cans!
If you are looking for a VERY highly detailed set of cans, I would not recommend these, these are not reference headphones so if people rate them as they were, I would have to disagree with them since that is not what was meant for these by BeyerDunamic. If you are looking for reference headphones, go AKG or Grato's.
qualified unqualified review [Posted on 2006-12-11]
I just bought a pair of these today and felt compelled to write a review. From Badly Drawn Boy to Al Green to Bartok's quartets (I can actually hear the players clothes ruffle now as they shift around), everything is incredibly articulate. The sound leaked out and in is very minimal, and I don't get the discomfort I usually get after putting on those noise-cancelling headphones. I know nothing about the technical aspects of these headphones (they're supposed to be good, technically), but from an outside perspective, they're amazing. I'm using them on my iPod, so the DRAWBACKS are immediately apparent: they're huge, and the chord is ridiculously long (3m?). Oh and another thing, with deep bass, sometimes my head feels like it's throbbing (this might be the only real drawback for me). I probably won't use them while walking around in public, but I suspect they'll be awesome/impressive to use at a cafe or anywhere I'll be sitting for an extended period of time. These headphones made my day. The best comparison I can come up with is to a Leica camera. In my estimation, both have minimal distortion (in different respects); as Leica optics are incredibly faithful to what you see (what you see is what you get), with these headphones, what I hear seems to be what was there in the studio with no frills--so if you're listening to a bad singer, these babies will let you know.
BEST HEADPHONES I'VE HEARD...SO FAR [Posted on 2007-02-09]
IN SHORT,THESE ARE THE BEST 'PHONES I'VE OWNED TO DATE.I'LL ADMIT THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD SIMILAR OFFERINGS BY ULTRASONE,AKG OR GRADO ,BUT BASED ON MY TIME WITH THESE,I CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE SUPERB.I AM FORTUNATE TO OWN THE 80 OHM VERSION WHICH IS KINDA RARE.THAT BRINGS ME TO THE ONLY DOWNSIDE OF THESE.AT 250 OHMS THE BEYER'S ARE VERY HARD TO DRIVE WITHOUT A GOOD HEADPHONE AMP.i HAVE A SET OF 64OHM SENNHEISER HD280 PRO THAT I CAN JUST BARELY USE WITH AN IPOD,MY 80 OHM BEYER'S...FORGET IT.SO ANYONE PURCHASING THIS VERSION FOR USE WITH AN MP3 PLAYER OR OTHER SMALL DEVICE,BE WARNED.YOU WILL NEED AN AMP.OTHERWISE GREAT HEADPHONES.
DT 770 Pro's = Exactly What I Was Looking For [Posted on 2007-02-15]
I've had a steady progression of audio equipment as the years have gone by, especially in regards to headphones. I work in a social environment with a lot of ambient noise, so my goal was to find a full-sized earphone that I could wear for long periods of time while sealing outside noise away from my music.
My last pair of headphones were the Pioneer HDJ-1000's. They lasted me for almost 2 years, but were uncomfortable and a little lacking in the mids / treble area.
After doing research all over the place (especially at [...]) I decided to try the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro's. The jump was from around ~$[...] to ~$[...] in price from the Pioneer's to the Beyer's. I was hesitant, but after reading the majority of the comments on this very page I decided to take the jump and purchase them.
The result? I could not be happier.
These headphones are PRECISELY what I've been looking for. The sound reproduction is amazing, and gets even better when you add a headphone amp. The treble and mid-range are extremely full, you really do pick up new notes and tones in music that were never there before.
I listen to an eclectic mix of music and these headphones can run the whole gambit of genres. From Chopin to DJ Shadow, Counting Crows to the Gorillaz. It's all great.
The ONLY bad thing I can say about these is how clearly they separate high-quality recordings from lower quality. It makes you just want to listen to the best of the best in audio quality.
To recap, yes these headphones are expensive but if you're ready to make the jump to studio quality sound with some nice bass punch, these are a fantastic buy.
For Professional Use, They Don't Get Much Better [Posted on 2007-09-06]
As a radio professional, I demand headphones that are going to give faithful sound reproduction with solid construction. You're putting them on and taking them off every four minutes, and have a cord to walk around and try not to trip over for your other tasks. No matter how religious I've always been about being gentle with them, until I tried Beyer-Dymanics, every single pair I've ever owned has let me down within ten months. Either the wiring cuts out on an ear, and/or a studio mishap sends parts flying.
I've owned my DT770s for over five years. Best investment I've ever made, as headphones go.
