beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm Studio Headphone

I’ve spent a lot of time with the DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm, and they’re one of those headphones that just keep showing up in studios for a reason. But like the 990s, they’ve got a personality. This isn’t a “safe” tuning. First, the bass. For a closed-back, this hits properly. There’s real sub-bass extension and a satisfying punch, but it’s not loose or boomy. It’s tight, controlled, and gives tracks some weight without turning everything into a bass fest. Midrange is clean but slightly recessed. Vocals don’t jump out at you, and there’s a bit of that typical V-shaped feel. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of depending on what you listen to. Highs are classic Beyerdynamic again - detailed, bright, and occasionally a bit much. You get loads of clarity and edge, but on certain tracks or at higher volumes, it can get sharp. If you’re treble-sensitive, this is where you’ll notice it. Technically, they’re solid. Good separation, clear imaging, and for a closed-back, the sense of space is better than expected. Not huge, but not boxed-in either. Where these really shine is isolation. They block out a lot of external noise, which makes them ideal for recording, monitoring, or just shutting the world out. That’s something the open-back 990s obviously can’t do. Comfort is excellent. Same story - big cups, soft velour pads, easy to wear for long sessions. The 250 Ohm version needs proper power. Straight out of a laptop or phone, they’ll sound flat and underwhelming. Give them a decent DAC/amp and they wake up properly. Build is tank-like. Not fancy, but these are built to take a beating. Bottom line: if you want a closed-back with strong bass, great isolation, and loads of detail, these are a solid choice. Just be ready for the bright top end - and make sure you’ve got enough power behind them. OR, go for the 80 ohm option.

Tldr: Exquisite sound (tested it in my dolby atmos (Onkyo 7:1) receiver, super comfortable for hours on end, particularly love the twisted cord. Primary use is for recording and editing audio books. OK now the longer version. The first use made me cry - the clarity! I love headphones - my oldest 'expensive' pair are the Sennheiser HD 201 which still work. I've just replaced the pads only to notice the plastic coating on the wire has detached from the copper! I also have two Sony sets, wired and Bluetooth. So the DT770 Pro 250ohms. I did a LOT of research - reading reviews and watching videos. Almost bought the Rode NTH100s - but decided against due to issues with clips breaking. No thanks! The DT770s are incredible. Lightweight, extremely comfortable, the twisted cable is a perfect length, excellent and beefy, not going to break any time soon. The sound - glorious and crystal clear. Paired with the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 4th Gen and Rode NT1 mic has given me a powerful studio. Absolutely delighted. These are by far the most expensive headphones I've ever bought, and I am delighted with them. Highly recommend! My only gripe is zero indictation of which side is right and left! No indication that I can see.

These headphones have almost become a 'gateway drug' into the world of hi-end, audiophile-grade headphones, and it is incredibly easy to see why. First and foremost, the price of (approx) £100 represents exceptional value for money. I'm a headphone guy, and can think of few headphones which offer so much for such relatively little in terms of initial investment. Make no mistake, the DT770 Pro is a HUGE step up from headphones in the £60 - £90 range. Not that there's anything wrong with cheaper headphones, but the Beyer's are in a different league entirely... Second, they are incredibly well built. BeyerDynamic have gone for utilitarian design rather than fashion statement, and this is a good thing. From the sturdy headband to the supremely comfortable ear cups to the thick, high quality cable, these cans will stand up to real world abuse. Finally, and most importantly, the quality of sound is phenomenal. Some listeners have criticised the DT770's as having weak mid range response, but honestly, even though I agree with the criticism, I can honestly say it has not spoiled my listening enjoyment in any way. I listen to an eclectic range of music, from the harshest Norwegian Black Metal, to Dark Wave & Gothic Rock to the bleepiest synthesizer music & chiptunes to the cheesiest 80's pop - these headphones exceed my expectations. There is a price to pay, however, and that is: For headphones in this category, you really do need to provide as hi-fidelity source signal as possible. Don't imagine for one minute that your 128k MP3 files will sound great through these headphones - they will not. The DT770's will show up a poor quality source for what it is. My personal setup consists of a laptop connected to a USB DAC & AMP combo which drives the DT770's. I'm also quite specific about buying digital music in as higher quality as I can. The FLAC vs 320k MP3 can be debated all day, but my own preference is 24-bit or 16-bit FLAC files. Regarding the weak mids, some people prefer to introduce a software or hardware EQ to sort this out. Whilst this may be ok, I'd rather not introduce noise into the chain and enjoy the sounds as rendered by the DT770's unaided. Your mileage may vary, of course... So to summarise, you really can't do much wrong by investing in a pair of DT770's if you want to move up to the next level, but don't want to sink £500 or more on a set of headphones. Also, don't be scared off by the 250 Ohm rating. In my experience, I have yet to find a source which struggles to drive them. My ageing Nexus 4 phone will drive them, albeit with a maxed out volume (so I avoid this generally), my cheap USB audio interface (Lexicon Alpha) drives them superbly and even my laptop (HP Elitebook 8560w) will drive them on full volume, but again - I'd rather just use my USB DAC & Amp (Fiio E7). If you're in the market for a fantastic pair of closed back headphones, I'd have a serious look at the BeyerDynamic DT770's. Recommended without hesitation.

I love these headphones so much, the audio quality is incredible, they feel great on my ears, not too tight, not too loose and they're pretty well built over all......except mine keep dying. I've owned an 80ohm and t̶w̶o̶ THREE 250ohm sets, attached image of my box collection lol I don't use anything crazy, I have a Scarlett Solo audio interface and a Magni Heresy headphone amp both of which keep their volumes at 50%, dead center, never gets touched. Apart from my latest pair which I had lowered the volumes to 40% but they still died. They weren't loud, in fact they were quiet, yet for some reason the right driver just keeps dying. I keep buying new pairs because I'd rather buy a new pair than jump through a billion hoops for warranty which I don't even know if they're covered. Regardless these are amazing headphones, my latest pair recently died but instead of buying a new pair I just bought a new replacement driver and installed it, was super easy, will do that from now on. Thank you Beyerdynamic for making these headphones so user serviceable! [Update 2023] I have now had FOUR separate DT 770's and they've ALL burnt out on the right ear. This is unacceptable. As stated previously, I've never overpowered them, they're 250ohm after all. It's not my amp's fault as my other more expensive headphones work fine and have done for almost 10 years. After this consistent failure rate, I can no longer recommend these headphones. By the way, these are the only headphones with STICKY drivers, I have no idea why Beyerdynamic thought that would be a good idea, but if a HAIR gets through the mesh and touches the driver it'll destroy it.

Before anything, I am absolutely not an audiophile, I'm just a bit of a music nerd who loves music and taking some extra care to appreciate it perhaps. That being said, I was completely caught up in trying to research what pair of headphones to buy as my first proper music-listening endeavour. I wanted to get something which would be really worthwhile and long-lasting, and would be reliable to allow me to appreciate all genres of music in my saved library, from recent releases with powerful bass and sharp, punchy tinny highs to music spanning every decade from today across the previous century until the early 1960s (if this matches somewhat your musical preferences, name almost any artist and I'll have listened to them on these headphones). Basically, out of everything I found (thank you Dankpods on YouTube for being the first person to mention these headphones in a video haha!) these headphones seemed like the best option, and that they are! They have the most well-rounded sound profile to encompass all the elements of music, from the deepest bass, to the clearest mids (instruments and vocals), to the most sparkly highs (like the ts ts ts sounds of hi hats/symbols), and also excellent soundstage for closed-back headphones (if those words mean nothing to you basically it means stereo sound sounds very encompassing, like you're enveloped by music all around). To put it more simply, I genuinely believe these headphones are the best way to listen to music of all sorts, as they just sound so perfectly balanced, and crisp, and clear, and detailed, and responsive, I could continue but you get the point. Not a caveat, but more of a technical asterisk: I bought the 250 Ohm model, but honestly unless you are confident a higher impedance/resistance model is something you want (for example for studio work or if you already have an amplifier), I honestly would say just get the 80 Ohm model and you'll be sorted. This is because a higher resistance model (in this case, the 250 Ohm model) requires more voltage in order to produce rich sound at the correct volume, hence in most cases requiring a specific amplifier to increase the voltage. So, for example, without an amplifier, I couldn't plug these headphones into a phone, computer* or an MP3/4 player, as it would be too quiet and wouldn't sound good. To avoid this problem, get the 80 Ohm model which will be compatible with basically everything and sounds tip top! *Unless you are like me, by which I mean you have a either a Mac Pro from 2021 onwards, a MacBook Air or a Mac Studio from 2022 onwards, or an iMac, Mac Mini or a Mac Pro from 2023 onwards. If you are considering these headphones to be used with one of the devices above, then feel free to get the 250 Ohm model, as all of the above Mac models and later have automatic load detection and adaptive voltage output, meaning they automatically detect and work perfectly with headphones from between 150 to 1000 Ohms by automatically adjusting the voltage output to offset the higher impedance/resistance – you just plug in and press play! So, no need for an amp in this case! Of course if you also want to use these headphones across devices then I would still recommend the 80 Ohm version. For being such high-end and quality headphones, the price, I think, is honestly quite a pleasant surprise. Considering I have happily splashed out £250 on AirPods Pro before now and these headphones sound more balanced and detailed, it just goes to show how nothing can really replace a wired headphone connection (sorry Bluetooth 💔) Anyway, hopefully this review has helped you to feel more informed about these headphones. I honestly cannot recommend them enough; it's been such an enjoyable experience to sit down quietly on late night musical explorations of both new and familiar artists and music and to quietly realise "omg, I've never heard that before in this song!", "Omg, what a cool use of this that and the other" etc. Happy shopping!

Clear sound over full frequency range.

coming from 'gaming headsets' mainly logitech i find these sound so much clearer , i looked at some reviews and picked the 250ohm ones, and realised i had made a mistake, as i was going to plug them into my pc, maybe the 32 ohms ones would have been a better choice, The headphone socket on my pc sounded good, but wasnt that loud, so i had to get a headphone amp, which has bass and treble adjust.i turned up the bass abit... holy moly Oh wow, the sound is real clear, i can hear background noise easier in games and the small noises in music like the subtle cymbols in the back ground . They are really light, i guess they dont have a mic and other buttons on them, after a while of using them you can hardly notice you have them on,. highly reccomended from me. the sound is great

I’ve been using the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Studio Headphones (250 Ohm) for years, and they’ve consistently delivered stellar audio quality. They’re easy to use, and their comfortable fit makes them perfect for extended sessions. I use them mainly for gaming. The sound clarity is very good, but for best results, you'll need an amp. Pros: Exceptional Sound Quality Comfortable for Long Sessions. The soft, velour ear pads are incredibly comfortable, even during long hours of wear. The sturdy construction has held up well over years of daily use. Excellent Noise Isolation Cons: The high impedance requires a quality amp for optimal performance. The headphones are great. Though they require an amp for the best experience, the clarity and comfort make them worth every penny. I highly recommend them.

Great sound and the pads are very very comfortable.

Ascolto in alta fedeltà da oltre 50 anni e ho posseduto varie cuffie, dalla famosa (ai tempi) Koss pro4aa ad alcune Akg, Sennheiser e Sony. Tralasciando di recensire un prodotto sul quale è già stato detto tutto, condivido la mia esperienza con la speranza di evitarvi qualche delusione. 1- A mio parere necessita di un buon periodo di rodaggio prima di dare il meglio, almeno 30/40 ore. 2 – Attenti all’impedenza: quella da 250 ohm è adatta ad essere collegata ad amplificatori dedicati per cuffie, mixer, uscita cuffia ampli hi-fi e altri del genere. Per quanto riguarda l’uscita cuffia dell’ampli, la collego con successo ad un Yamaha as-701 che ha un’impedenza di 470 ohm e vi posso assicurare che il volume d’uscita è elevato. Come amplificatore dedicato uso un Topping L30 II con guadgno impostato a max e, ovviamente, il suono migliora sensibilmente sotto vari aspetti, alti compresi che sono presenti ma non pungenti. 3– E’ una cuffia da studio e da molte parti viene affermato che la versione a 250 ohm fornisce un suono più piatto e equilibrato. Proprio perché è adatta ad un uso da studio a mio parere (e come indicato sulla confezione - v. Foto) è adatta anche ad un uso audiofilo, di vera alta fedeltà anche se non hi-end. Attenzione, però, purchè non si pretenda quel suono “caldo e avvolgente”, quei “violini setosi” e altre cose del genere che molti cercano. Se è quello che desiderate allora compratevi un’altra cuffia perché la d770 vi fa tutti gli esami rivelatori possibili di un brano musicale, mettendo in evidenza pregi e, impietosamente, difetti di registrazioni e apparecchiature. Nel mio caso, sia accoppiata al suddetto Yamaha as-701 che all'ampli dedicato Topping L30 II, amplificatori non hi-end ma di ottima qualità, vi restituisce un ascolto molto analitico, soprattutto se riproducete con un buon dac brani in altissima risoluzione da piattaforme come AMAZON MUSIC HD, TIDAL, QOBUZ e simili. La riproduzione di alcuni strumenti, come ad es. i piatti della batteria, è davvero impressionante e paragonabile a ciò che ho potuto ascoltare dal vivo: vi trafigge le orecchie, anche se il vostro udito è avanti negli anni. 4 – In virtù di quanto sopra, anche se è da 32 o 15ohm , vi suggerisco di non collegarla direttamente all’uscita audio di pc, tablet o smartphone, magari per ascoltare brani in mp3: sarebbe sprecata. Consigliabile? Certamente, ma bisognerebbe sapere bene in anticipo cosa si va ad acquistare.

los mios me llegaron antes y logicamente toda una sorpresa para bien,servicio de entrega de primera, el paquete intacto todo en su lugar, ya puestos se puede trabajar horas sin problemas gracias a la calidad de sus orejeras aterciopeladas en este caso color gris los hacen comodos, la diadema tambien es acolchonada y muy comoda, sin duda beyerdynamic DT-770-PRO-32, 250 ohms de mis concentidos, en el estudio me permite trabajar cómodamente y de manera precisa, lógicamente trabajo con diferentes marcas y versiones pues necesitas comparar tu monitoreo pero sin duda la calidad de materiales, asi como la confiabilidad de su sonido a nivel profesional hace que los legendarios DT-770-PRO-32,sigan siendo lo que siempre han sido,toda una leyenda, cada frecuencia en su lugar con una imagen stereofonica abierta que te permite reconocer cada instrumento con balance bien definido captando cada detalle de tu mezcla , un tip para los casos en donde no necesariamente se usen en estudio de audio pero se conecten a dispositivos moviles, ipod, tablets, etc.,las versiones en 32 o 80 ohm, serian la recomendación,sin duda una herramienta de escucha confiable en todos sentidos que recomiendo !.

The cable that comes of the 250 ohms is coiled. Which is better because it's short, but stretches and becomes long when you need it. I can literally go across my room with my headphones on my head. As for these headphones in general, they're very good for a closed-back headphones. Great isolation, great sound, and there is barely any sound leak. The only issue with these headphones is the issue that almost all closed-back headphones suffer from, and that is when you use it for hours you will notice that your ears are getting fatigued and kinda muffled because your ears can barely take some air (since its closed-back). You will need an amplifier to get the most out of them, though. I use FiiO K5.
