When you are looking to buy a “kick-ass” piece of headphone, look no further. Beyerdynamic – a brand synonymous with quality and perfection – is constantly inching to the top of the stack and making its presence felt. There are lots of professional headphones being marketed and sold nowadays giving the average consumer a tough time choosing which among them is the best. But, Beyerdynamics is never worried about the growing rivalry as it rolls out the DT770 Pro for its meticulous clients who want only the finest in their audio listening experience.
But, can the Beyerdynamic keep the pace and dominate the competition? Let’s check out the reviews…
The basics
The DT 770 Pro 80s are surprisingly lightweight (about 9 ounces) full sized headphones intended mainly for studio use. But they’ve also found a loyal following among some home listeners. The rated impedance is 80 ohms and they have an “SPL” rating of 96 dB SPL. Those two numbers mean they’re a bit marginal for use with most portable players. There is a better DT770 version for portable use. More on that later. Full size circumaural cans come in two distinct flavors—open and closed. Most of the best sounding headphones are open to varying degrees. This allows the driver to be less affected by whatever is behind it.
Comfort
With each headphone enclosure being mostly plastic, and the band being quite a thin and light substance, the overall weight of these headphones is fairly negligible considering they are very much a full sized circumaural headphone. I do find after a while my neck tends to lightly cramp, though I suppose this depends per person. Ear cups are not valour but are still very soft and comfortable. I find occasionally they can become a bit itchy (especially with facial hair or in hot climates) but in almost every case this isn't noticeable. The headphone cable is on the left earcup and is not removable, which can be frustrating depending on the placement of your amplifier or source.
Appearance
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO headphones are a bit big to wear out in public but, unless you’re willing to splash out some serious cash, big earphones are generally the way to get the best sound. Are the DT770 PRO headphones worth enduring the slings and arrows of public ridicule for though? We find out in this Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO review. Using a closed back design, the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO headphones are great at keeping the outside world at bay. Get those ultra-comfortable velour pads clamped around your head and not only will you hardly be able to hear anything but your tunes, people around you won’t be able to hear anything either.
Sound
The low end is perfect despite what some might say about it being too "bassy". I use these to play drums on my Roland TD3 kit as well for watching movies on my laptop and for casual music listening. They are phenomenal. I use these over my on-ear BOSE headphones when portability is not a factor (they are fairly bulky to travel with). One thing I would recommend is getting a headphone amplifier; I have the FiiO E7 and am very happy with it. The reason is that these 80 ohm headphones make for a somewhat lower volume than the casual listener is probably used to.
Summary
The Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro may not look very fun on the outside but inside it can certainly provide endless audio pleasure with the right music. It is a headphone for lovers of bass and those that need something for professional studio work. They are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and the snug fit around the ear provides good noise cancellation.
