Love these headphones

Love these phones. They need a good headphone amp to drive them well, but I use them in a studio setting with good headphone amps. They have very deep and clear bass and great high end range as well. Compared to my sennheiser HD600, the DT770's have lower bass frequencies, but slightly harsher highs. They are well balanced for a closed back phone headphone, and very comfortable. They are brilliant for recording vocals, acoustic instruments and anything where you want excellent isolation, which they deliver. They are also great for checking mixes in the low end, as well as during the mastering process, for picking up problems in the low end and mid-low end, as well as the high end, where overly harsh highs will be brought out by these phones. All up extremely happy with these headphones.

I love these headphones.

I initially bought these headphones to replace my Sony MDR-7506s which had broken due to me mishandling them. Sound: I mainly use these headphones for music production, recording, and general listening. The frequency response on them is very clear and neutral. What I like most about these headphones is that they don’t color sound. When you hear bass, it’s that bass. It’s not boosted or reduced by the headphones so if you use them to mix, you aren’t deceived into thinking your song sounds like something it’s not. Quality: These headphones are of suburb quality. The headband and ear cups surround your ears and head and it feels like a perfect fit when you adjust them. You can also change the band covering if it ever wears out or becomes otherwise damaged. I have yet to change mine and I’ve had these headphones for two years. The padding on the ear cups is a suede type of material and it doesn’t feel sweaty if you wear them for a long time and they also don’t wear out. They’re still just as puffy as the day I bought them.

These are the best sounding headphones for under $200 and generally the best studio recording cans

I did a ton of headphone comparisons before settling on these for critical monitoring and tracking monitoring in studio situations. Great isolation. Great smooth, balanced, hi-fi sound. Warm and punchy and pretty flat and accurate. Not harsh or brittle, nor muddy. Despite what they say, I've done the research for you -- the 250 ohm versions are the best sounding of the line -- better than the 32 and waaaay better than the 80 ohm versions...smoother and more detailed and dimension on the 250 ohm version. On a laptop/cell phone's amp though, they won't get super loud, but loud enough generally. These clamp sort of tightly, although they feel nice. If you need to quickly pull one ear off, there may be better options, if that's a primary concern. The velour padding is cool and nice but probably not the best for sharing amongst sweaty users. There is a good reason these headphones have been around for a while, although I honestly don't know why these aren't more common in studios than the Sony 7506's or some of the other commonly seen headphone models...they are a little pricier I guess. (I'll also note, my 2nd choice for studio headphones after these -- the ATH-M40x...they are the flattest-sounding of the AT's, and for some, may sit a little easier on the head, but these sound even better, imo, and have more isolation from outside sound. And to compare these to Sony 7506's, another good headphone -- these are smoother and weightier-sounding, and not quite as bright.)

Oh, My, Goodness........When I first got these I was disappointed because my phone and my laptop could not drive these very loud. I had an SMSL tube amp and it still could not push these. It also had a slight popping sound that I originally thought was the headphones but turned out to be the 3.5mm headphone cord from the computer to the amp. After I got that fixed up, I had already ordered an 80 ohm version to replace the 250 as well as an FX Audio tube preamp. I compared the 80 ohm and the 250 ohm side to side using 3 different sources (turntable, phone, computer). The 80 ohm just cannot compare to the 250 ohm version. The 250 ohm version does have some very bright highs, and subdued lows compared to the 80 ohm, but the lows are much much more precise and punchier than the 80 ohms. The brightness is rounded off quite a bit when run through the preamp and amp. The 250 ohm just simply put reproduced the sound to a far better extent than the 80 ohm. The 80 ohm version is great, don't get me wrong, but the sound from the 250 ohm pair is just not comparable to any headphones I have ever heard, simple as that. You really, really, really....did I say really? Really need a powerful amp for these. Even my SMSL alone was not enough to power these to any sort of high volume. The preamp increased the gain and made these useable with the SMSL and even "tubed" up the sound a bit more! I just cannot say enough good things about the 250 ohm version. They beat the hell out of anything else at the $150 price point.

Best headphones I've ever owned

I upgraded to these cans from...ehhh... Beats. But don't judge, I got them at a fraction of the retail cost along with a 30 gig Zune by just being in the right place at the right time. So with that being the case, these are obviously the best headphones I've ever owned. I coupled these to a Schiit Modi/Magni stack and the whole setup works wonderfully. Everything sounds very clear, from music to games. I was originally going to pick up Sennheiser's HD598's after hearing wonderful things about them, until I read that metal music isn't great with them, so I opted for these instead. My preferred genre, mostly extreme prog like Ne Obliviscaris, Xanthochroid, pre-Heritage Opeth etc, is great with these headphones. At first the seeming lack of low end kind of threw me, but it really only seems to be with groups that don't overly load their sound with bass in the first place. I suppose you can't really have what isn't there lest it sound artificial. It also may be that the cans simply needed to be broken in, because I don't really notice it anymore, unless I'm just used to it. Everything sounds nice and punchy. Games for the most part are great as well. I can't recall actually being able to hear footsteps on BF4 before, and the snap of bullets really gets my attention now. The only real complaint I have is with CS:GO (not the only complaint I have with the game itself, mind), which will hopefully cease to be an issue since they are updating sounds. The AK-47 (as of early 9/16 anyway) shot is an absolute nightmare of treble ear cancer with these headphones. On the flip side, I can hear footsteps from quite a distance away, even if the poor directional sound quality keeps you guessing as to where exactly they are coming from (Gaben pls). In short, if you have the hardware to run these cans, I highly recommend them. With the Schiit stack (heh) I run lo-gain at around 55% on the dial, with 100% windows volume. I have yet to come close to maxing the Zune player volume.

Great with OTL Tube Amp

I purchased these specifically to use with my Little Dot MK III headphone amp because of the 250 ohm impedance. OTL tube amps work best with high impedance headphones, so ideally a 600 ohm version would be even better, but that was discontinued for the 770 so I went with the 250 ohm one. These headphones replaced an pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50X phones. The biggest difference I noticed right away was more pronounced and impactful bass with these vs the M50X, and the highs and mids were very similar. These work very well with the tube amp, and I'm using Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV driver tubes and Electro Harmonix 6H30Pi power tubes and I'm amazed every time I listen to this setup. Very detailed sound and I can hear things I was not able to hear before. Overall I highly recommend these headphones. 5/31/2019 - UPDATE: Just built a Bottlehead crack with speedball and these are awesome with it! Great deep and tight bass (depending on the tubes of course) and plenty of output. I really can't turn up past 1/3 of the way without it blowing out my eardrums. But if you are planning on building a crack OTL amp, these are an awesome pair to go with it!

I have owned these headphones for 5 years now, listen to a variety of genres through them all day every day and have them running through a headphone amp. They are very comfortable (the velour ear pads become unnoticeable and don't make you sweat at all), reliable, have great sound and you can't beat the price. The bass probably isn't as heavy as some prefer but I like to actually hear my music and think it is perfect. Anyway, I was listening to them today and thinking about how good of a purchase they were for me...for whatever that's worth!

Great Amp phones

I plug this in directly to my amp and it has a great, relatively-flat signal. At first, I was admittedly a bit disappointed when compared to my Audio Technica ATH-M50x phones, but after a few weeks of use I greatly preferred the Beyerdynamic sound over the bassier AT's. I will be using these when I record my music. Edit, 2 months on: Used the phones when I recorded DI bass for an EP. Liked them so much that I just use them with my comp now (through an audio interface). Considering buying a second one as a back-up and for when I'm recording with others.

Awesome sounding for a closed headphone

The really good headphones tend to be the open kind, which are not good for an open office environment like mine. You have to keep the volume low to avoid disturbing your neighbors. Also, they let outside sound in, interfering with your enjoyment of the music. Solution: a closed headphone. My main requirements were: clean sound with neutral signature, especially in the bass (many closed headphones sound boomy with an exaggerated bass), long term comfort and moderate price. The 250ohm version of the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO fit the bill. The bass is slightly boosted, but only by a tasteful amount. It is quite comfortable for several hours of listening. While the sound quality was important to me, the price was important as well because I didn't want to spend too much on what is admittedly for background music while working. This headphone needs a good amp to shine.

WOW!

These are AMAZING. I use them with an LG V20, which has no problem driving these headphones (it recognizes them as a high impedance device and adjusts accordingly). The ear padding is very comfortable - I can wear these for 3+ hours and not feel like my ears are smashed. Highly recommend if you're looking for great bang for your buck.
