(80-Ohm Model) Nice Comfortable Audio Listening With Good Build Quality for Mid-Range Headphones

I'm rating these headphones at 4.5/5 for being a very good mid-range set of 80-ohm 'head speakers'; I am not comparing these to higher quality (and more expensive) headphones because I've never listened to high-end headphones. I bought these over a month ago and I really like the audio quality, so I'm giving a positive detailed comment here. I, like some others have noted in their comments, find that my ears do warm up and get a little moist very quickly, but after a while I don't notice this, and this aspect never becomes discomforting over hours of use. I wear glasses and these fit over the temples very well and do not cause discomfort, and there's no external sound leakage in/out of the cans. I have larger ears and the cans' size do provide a good over-ears fit, and are just marginally large enough for my ear lobes. I've worn them for hours and have not experienced any fatiguing side pressure on my head. The audio cable (3.5mm plug) is quite long and has a substantial cable diameter, and it is an attached cord. The 3.5mm male audio plug fits firmly into an audio plug socket. I don't hear any extra bass frequency emphasis, just as others have noted too; it feels balanced across the low, mid, and higher sound frequencies (I'm not an audiophile). I use these connected to a FiiO USB E10K audio DAC (avail on Amazon; it's an external USB sound card, essentially), which converts USB digital audio into the analog stereo audio signal; perfect for USB audio-out devices like a PC and a Sony PS4. I bought these to replace an Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor Headphone, which eventually broke (irreparable) after 3 years at the can hinges. I'd say the AT-40s have a bit more bass emphasis than these DT 770s, so I liked the AT-40's audio (soundstage?) perhaps a wee bit more. These have less side-clamping pressure too. I've read that the AT-40's can hinges have been improved to reduce its track-history of breaking, but I wasn't willing to chance it again. I'm pleased with the music quality I hear from uncompressed audio (like CD music). I cannot detect any audio distortion or frequency drop-off across the audio ranges, though again I do not have a 'critical ear' listening sensitivity (and don't want to either). When an audio file source has a defect or distortion, you will hear it - as you should with quality speakers. The build quality and hinges! are better. I feel I made a good purchase with these mid-range-quality headphones in this price range. HTH

80 ohm vs 250ohm + notes on comfort

There haven't been many reviews out there that cover the differences between the different versions available of this product. I found myself in the possession of both the 80ohm and 250ohm so hopefully this can be helpful to someone! The first thing I would like to note is that the 80ohm version has a straight cable whereas the 250ohm version has a coiled cable. This difference has a non-obvious impact on comfort: the coiled cable of the 250ohm version makes the headphones feel heavier. That's because there is more cable that "hangs" off your head. Because the headphones are already pretty lightweight themselves (~270 g) it does make a small but perceivable difference. The straight cable is pretty long so while it will work great at the studio, work or home, it would most likely be a major annoyance if you were planning to use these on the go. DIFFERENCES IN SOUND The differences between the two models I've reviewed (80ohm and 250ohm) are subtle but they are there. It's definitely true that the 80ohm version has slightly more bass whereas the 250ohm version has more pronounced highs. I personally love when the bass in a song really pulls you in and makes you want to dance on your desk. With the 80ohm version, I definitely get that. With the other, I kept thinking to myself that the bass was nice, but always a little less impactful than I wished for. If you are the kind of person that boosts the volume of your music until the bass is strong enough, then definitely go for the 80ohm version. I know it's the more expensive version (as of this writing) but you'll be glad you spent the extra. I have noticed that these headphones need at least a couple of hours of "burn-in" to sound their best. So if you're not super happy with the sound (to me the 250ohms sounded a little harsh at first) then set your headphones in a safe spot and play some pink noise for a couple of hours or even overnight then try again. I know that the effects of burn-in in headphones are a highly debated and controversial subject in the audiophile community. My opinion is that it's the only (virtually) free method of possibly improving the sound of your headphones prior to first use. So why not give it a try? IMPEDANCE AND AMPLIFICATION Why would you consider these really nice headphones if you're not interested in good sound? The biggest improvement in sound quality I've ever noticed after getting nice headphones was when I bought a DAC/AMP. These things really do make a difference. Get a Fiio, Centrance Slim or something like that and you won't regret it. If you plan on using these on the go (which I wouldn't recommend because they are fairly big) then definitely go for the 80ohm. ON COMFORT One of my favorite feature of those headphones is the detachable headband pad. One thing I was able to do is to cut some NERF darts, cut them in half and slide them in the headband where needed. This allowed the headphones to make better contact with a larger surface on my head, reducing pressure and discomfort. You can also bend the headband a little bit (it is made of metal after all) but I found that the extra padding allowed me to really adapt these to feel great on my head. These headphones are relatively light. The ear pads can get hot after a while but I've notice that effect decrease over time. CONCLUSION I was looking for the perfect closed-back headphones to use at work. They would need to be comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time and sound great. The Beyerdynamics DT770 Pro 80ohm are perfect for that. I highly recommend them!

BUYER WARNING! Severe Risk Of Extreme Satisfaction! DO BUY!

These Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's are built to last and will bestow a severely pleasurable audio experience into your brain that your ears will surely be thanking you for at this years Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, its all your ears will probably talk about, your guests will no doubt think "Hey, what a nice gesture that this person has made. I respect that". Boom, and just like that you have gained a great product and a higher respect from your peers. If you are considering these to be your first step toward high end cans and away from your run of the mill, pseudo-high-grade equipment (Ex. Beats by Dre), then I especially recommend them. I'm using these with the SMSL T2 2X6J9 amplifier, with the stock tubes. Before receiving that I was using a small Squier SP-10 guitar amp to push these, however there was significant background ambient noise. Moving onto using the SMSL amp, I am disappointed with the lack of volume it's willing to provide, not to mention its utter lack of goals and ambitions. So don't make the mistake I did, buy a better (more expensive) headphone amplifier. In terms of sound, they do produce a decent enough flat response. Anything under 30hz is not going to be represented very well. I say this because I just read someones review stating they were rattling their brain with these pushing 5Hz frequencies. I tested this for shigs. Obviously, it didn't work out well, or at all. More obvious, is that the previously mentioned review was authored by a rampant drug user in the midst of an every-drug-ever-made binge . With that being said, frequencies are represented in a respectable manner for headphones and are an excellent entry into higher quality headphones. I personally use these for casual listening. If you're looking for production value on a budget might I suggest you consider a pair of PreSonus Eris 3.5" NF Reference Monitors for $100. Unless you're specifically banished to headphones because of an attempted voodoo love spell gone horrifyingly wrong. I've been there. Just BUY THEM already! and if you don't love them just return them, because no matter how many reviews you read you're going to have to experience them yourself. Don't allow someone else to make up your mind for you here, the subjective beauty of audio is that there's no right opinion here, it all comes down to your own beautiful biases . However, if you buy these and choose to return them to go back to your skullcandys, you're clearly harboring masochistic characteristics and I urge you to please visit a psychiatrist. Oh wait, there is one complaint I'd like to air out here. The headphone bag is generic looking as hell. Its super weak. It was severely disappointing to say the least. This is coming from someone who (weirdly, I know) very much enjoys boxes, containers, and other similar items that hold or organize things.

I use these with a Schiit Magni 3 headphone amp and they sound great. With this combo I need to listen to uncompressed or minimally compressed music now because you can tell the difference. 128K mp3 files sound crappy now. 320K mp3 files or CDs sound good. That's the thing with good headphones and amps; you have to feed the beast. You need a good music source. These are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. They are closed back so no sound bleeds out to bother others although I'm told that can affect the spacial aspect of the music. I used to run these directly from my Sound Blaster SB0881 sound card and they sounded pretty good but they sound better with the amp. The cord is not coiled and it is 10 feet long so I have looped a section to make it shorter but long cables don't bother me like some other listeners. I compared these to my son's Audeze LCD-2 headphones ($1000) and his sound better for sure but these sound pretty good too.

Highly Recommend

Sound quality is amazing. Requires an amplifier. If no amplifier is used, the bass is almost non existent, the volume is very quiet, and the sound is muddied together. But once you use some sort of amplifier, the headphones are brought to life. Very crisp highs, meds, and bass that will shake your head. These headphones are the closest to hearing the true source audio with no distortion or equalization I have had the pleasure of owning and using on a daily basis. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to spend ~$150-$200 on a pair of high quality headphones. Obviously there are better headphones out that at a much higher price point, but for this price range I truly believe these are the best you will find.

I love these headphones

I bought these and a few other pairs that I tried out for a few days before settling on this set. I went with the 80 ohm version and this is plenty loud when driven by either my laptop or desktop. The sound quality is very clear. One note I will say is that the bass is not very high on these headphones. After getting used to this I actually prefer the sound, but if you are coming from beats or similar they will noticeably sound odd for bass heavy songs. This can always be fixed through software though if you decide you really want more bass. The main reason that I decided to keep this set was comfort. The ear cups are huge and this works excellently since I wear glasses. Other headphones I found would push on the ear peace of my glasses toward the back of my head. This set easily encompasses my entire ear though and does not have any single pressure points. It also isn't a large amount of pressure on the temple piece of my glasses. I did cut a Nerf dart in half and put it in the headband based on another comment. It was a really easy process since the headband has snaps to easily take it on and off. I found without the dart the headband would start to hurt after wearing them for more than a few hours at a time. With the dart I barely notice the headband.

Amazing sound, great comfort, bass and presence are a little hyped. Works well with Laptop and I use it for mixing.

SOUND: Amazing sound, bass and presence (over 5k) are hyped a little, but not too much. COMFORT: One of the best cushions I've tried for a headphone. It might be a bit tight if you have a large head, but you'll get used to it. DURABILITY: Feels pretty strong till now (2 weeks). I'll update this after a few months. VOLUME LEVEL: 80 ohms is enough to get a loud sound on laptops. On the phone I usually keep the volume 90-100% for a good level. Regarding the big question "can these be used for mixing"? I know these headphones are not meant for mixing, but I still mix Electronic Music seamlessly with these. Its great for hearing the sub range and low end which is difficult to do in flat response headphones. I would suggest you have something like a AKG K240 along with these just to get a more realistic sound. Another big question going around: "Is it better than the m50x"? Both have their pros and cons. m50x is more closer to a flat response, definitely more portable and ships with 3 cables interchangeable cables. 770 are better listening headphones. Around the ear cups mean better 3D sound, better build but heavy and less portable. I was confused for a long time but decided to go for this when I saw it on sale at 124$ (less than m50x for the first time).

5 stars for the bag!

I got these cans two months ago, but recently something happened that I wanted to share here. TL:DR at the end. Regarding the actual headphones, they are sort of what you would expect from a closed back dt990. The high end is a bit fuzzier but in a beyer way, so its still more than enough treble. It just isn't as airy as the 990s. You shouldn't expect them to be. The bass is superb, but most reviews are overhyping what these things can do, these are marketed as monitor headphones, which means accurate signal reproduction. You will find "more" bass in a $50 bass intended headphone. What you DO get with these is a punchy, clear, and defined low end throughout the whole spectrum. It's a magnificent response, but it's not overpowering and it will NOT shake your head. Mids are recessed. On an interesting note (and the reason I'm here writing this review 2 months late), about a week ago these things fell from my backpack on my office driveway, and took storm rain/wind for the weekend. I realized I left them somewhere when I got home, and I was hopeless to find them in an usable state at this point. When I got to my office on monday I found them in a little puddle of water next to the gate, with some dirt over the bag. I picked them up, cleaned the bag a bit. The paper tag for the name and address was completely useless by this point, but to my wonderful surprise the headphones inside got absolutely no water or dirt. Nothing, 100% clean and smelling like new. Honestly beyer should just sell this magnificent bag alone. Saved my headphones and my investment. 5 stars. TL:DR Headphones sound great and the bag is waterproof.

Shines with an amp!

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is built like a tank! It's made from really high quality materials - the band is solid metal and can take a beating; the ear-pads are plush and super-comfortable. Being a pair of 80Ω cans; they work really well connected straight to your Mac/PC; where these headphones really shine is when they're connected to a decent DAC/AMP setup, or even a basic portable one (any of the FiiO amps should do). I have a basic Schiit Stack (Mangi 2 DAC + Modi 2 AMP) connected to my Mac via USB, and WOW!!!. The Bass; mids; highs - all really come to life, and headphones give You hours of listening delight thanks to the super-comfy ear pads. Highly recommend these cans! If you're willing to invest in bit more in a decent dac/amp; you'll be able to tap their true potential.

What the Hyperx Clouds wish they were

I've previously owned Hyperx Cloud IIs and these absolutely blew me away. Especially noticeable in movies, games and well mastered music, the soundstage for a closed back headphone is superb! The bass and mid-bass on these headphones is very clean and is a comfort to listen to for long periods of time. The velour earpads keep your ears from letting sweaty and too warm (I was very hesitant but turns out they are super comfy and don't get too warm at all) At first they clamped too hard but a simple bend of the metal headband and I can wear these all day without fatigue. They are way more comfortable than they look like they would be! The best entry level closed back.
