With all the talk about the Harman curve and how it’s improving headphone and earphone design, it’s easy to forget that a lot of headphone designers were getting things right a long time ago. Listeners who want to avoid any treble harshness should seriously consider the DT 700 PRO X instead. beyerdynamic's most popular products traditionally include headphones and microphones for both live and studio use, and the company also has a strong presence in the consumer and conference technology sectors as well as in the field of installation microphones, interpreter consoles, and tour guide systems. This simply means that the emphasis in anything that goes through them tends to favor the highest notes over all else. The impressive acoustic definition captures musical details that conventional headphones just don’t pick up.

On the other hand, the ear pads can be replaced and even swapped to pleather for more isolation but a bit less comfort. All products shown online are BRAND NEW and sealed (unless otherwise specified) and include full manufacturer warranties. Professional users all over the world have relied on the beyerdynamic classic series for years: DT 770 / 880 / 990 PRO.The DT770 features circular, fully sealed acoustic chambers with foam-filled velour ear cushions that fit over, rather than resting upon, the ears.

On the upside, they're noticeably more durable than the Audio-Technica, thanks to their full-metal frame and large ear cups.On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic are closed-back headphones with fantastic bass accuracy, so your music has more thump and rumble, which some may prefer. I’m sure there are a multitude of other stories on this subject, both positive and negative, but my experience on this occasion has been 100% positive. The Audio Technica ATH-M50x and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO have very similar performance, but some might prefer the better build quality of the Beyerdynamic. Unfortunately, like the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO, they clamp the head a bit, which gets uncomfortable after a while—especially for those with larger heads.

Strong bass response and superior top-end clarity mean it is ideally suited to detailed mixing and monitoring. They also leak less audio and passively isolate you from more sound, although they aren't ideal for noisy environments. The beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 is a dynamic, closed-back headset with an 80-ohm impedance rating for tracking and monitoring applications, and it has been a firm fixture of studios across the world since it was released. The Beyerdynamic have an overall more accurate sound profile, although some people find them to be a bit overly sharp.

If you’re worried about comfort, there’s no need; you can use this for hours without anything feeling off. Just as a testament to how amazed and awesome these headphones are, I have received my brand new guitar in the same shipment as these headphones.
