What a great video of our new DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition, thanks so much, very informativ! Could listen to you all day 🙌 Greetings from Germany, Patricia
@@salemkhamis6788 im kind of in the same boat, love the build and sturdiness of the Pro X's but I also love how light the 650's are, I'm planning on an upgrade so I don't know if I should follow the Beyer path (the 1990's probably) or the Sennys path (the 800S) I know, price difference and all but still.
@@salemkhamis6788are you literally asking Beyerdynamic whether a Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic is better for gaming? That's like asking Ferrari whether you'd have more fun in a Ferrari or a Lamborghini
Lol I did the same about the same time, a couple months ago got someone on Etsy mod them for me, then a month later Beyer released the Pro X version. I bought it and at first didn't like it, but adjusted soon and now the classic is collecting dust. These new ones are unbelievable. They sound really different but much better, the upgrade gap is huge. The Pro X is my favorite now.
This model is quite popular among modders, perhaps your local audio community may know a person who can offer you detach mod, even changing cable color
I was going to wait for these, but wound up with the 900 Pro X's as they work better for my home situation. Can confirm the top of the band starts exerting some pressure at the 3 hour mark, but overall I'm happy with them. They've been REALLY solid for Grey Zone in terms of footsteps, too.
@@idfcdean You can easily just plug and play but they benefit from having more power like most headphones. I use mine with a small dongle dac/amp that drives my IEM's. So they don't need much power. Directly out of my Macbook Pro they are loud at 70-80% so they have some headroom even off a source.
idk why i'm here but i'm listening to this on my dt 770 pros. loved em for 5+ years, can attest to the build quality on these, they've been to hell and back but still sound amazing.
I have the 770 and 1770 and love them. Closed back just does it for me and I changed the earpads out with some dekoni ones to get the profile I wanted. Worth keeping in mind that changing pads could be a game changer and even going from one velour to another could have a pretty big impact on sound plus comfort.
How would you compare these to the DT 900 Pro X? I know that open back and closed back are completely different, but if someone was trying to choose between those two, which would you recommend?
hi, audio nerd here, honestly i wouldnt recommend either but if you really wanted them and struggled to choose id suggest picking off your environment if you're in your room and its quiet and that's all you're really into then the open backs as 9/10 times an open back would be better and its true in this case as well however if you're also going to use them outside in louder environments then probably the 700 for the isolation
Headband and pads are better on the 770 imho, but open-back is always the better choice if isolation isn't a problem. The 900 Pro X isn'T a good headphone for music though, because the new drivers are fairly dull because of too much front dampening.
Brian please try the Aune AR5000. Banger for the price. Also please throw headphones on a scale. Weight claims from manufacturers are often off and weight is always the first thing I check for. Keep up the great work.
Love mine so far except for me (as an average - small sized woman) on the smallest setting they still are too large. I purchased a cover and it helps a bit but I just needed another inch or so adjustment to fit well. Everything else is great with them and they take EQ well if that's your thing.
Hey B, Would you recommend the DT 770 Pro X over the DT 900 Pro X? Mainly wondering since I’ve heard that 900 Pro X is pretty closed for an open back. I have the Maxwells but looking to eventually have a separate mic and headphone setup.
I have the Meze 99 classics and I love them, but I always wanted some Beyerdynamic and these bought me, now I use both and for the 99 user DT770 LE the bass is nice and balanced compared to the Meze. :D
man they should do mini 4 pin xlr balanced on the headphone end, that would be tempting. on the other hand ive got my sony mdr-7506 for my budget carrying close back anyway.
these or the logitech g pro x2 lightspeed for gaming and music ? cab you help me decide pleaseeee ....wireless also a plus. i havent used an audiophile headphone before so i dont know what to expect
I already have TYGR 300 R for casual music listening and single player gaming. Is DT 770 PRO X LE a step up? Should I get them for casual music listening?
I know this is late... but I'm looking at stepping up from my Sony WH-1000XM3s that I've had forever. I was looking at the HIFIMAN 5XX on drop, but I always hear that the DT1990 is where its at. I don't want to put almost $600 into headphones because then I have to get a really basic Amp/Dac. I was looking at getting the SMSL SH-9 & SU-6 with the HIFIMANs thoughts?
That is what I did. I love my 560S, but during summer months I have an AC unit sitting right behind me and was tired of the noise. These DT 770 Pro X do really well with isolating the noise. They have great imaging as well so I can pinpoint enemies in CS2 very easily. I still think the 560S are better in terms of soundstage, but these 770 are exactly what I was looking for.
Have you tried the HD599? I think they sound similar but better and smoother than the DR770 Pro X, I love both. So if you like the Beyer which has great soundstage but you want that enhanced, the HD599 is excellent. However I'm aware some people who like the 560 will not like the 599
Hey brother, can you help me understand how the stack up against the 1770 I own the 770 250’s the 1990s the 900 600 ohms and several other pairs of headphones as well. Right now I’m using my 770 pros for my electronic drum set and they sound decent but I would like a little more isolation and maybe some more stereo separation so I’m looking for an upgrade. I really love my 1990s so I’m really curious to see if the 1770s would be a worthy upgrade.
@@badseedtech Thank you for responding. There are so many headphones out there that it's difficult (at least for me) to get a grasp on what's better than what.
@@badseedtechwhat would be an equivalent closed back to the Maxwell but wired? Not big on gaming headsets but having tried the Maxwells, they were very good so just wondering.
3:30 Would anyone know if that bump at 5-6k would effect someone like me i can be sensitive to symbols and the such when they arent done well since they sound extremely sharp to me and I have extremely "good" hearing which makes it so i can easily hear frequencies above what most people can. Like I can hear the electric noise and coil wine out of tons of electronics that most people cannot hear at all (its one reason why i CANNOT use airpods at all). I wondering if someone like me will be heavily effected by that sort of high frequency bump.
damn man why aren't you posting more? I love your videos and trust your reviews since you mention the real life experience and details but I almost forgot you exist because of your upload rate...
Anyone who ever had and liked the tuning of the original DT 770 Pro should avoid the new "Limited Edition". I have both and do not like the sound tunning of the new one... 🤔 WHY? The bass feels boomy (and loose), mid range sounds artificial. Both male and female voices have a sharp and thin character. The whole sound signature has this slight an un-natural and boxy feel. It even sounds less open and spacious than the original. It's not a bad closed back headphone for the price... but does not make me listen more and more music (unlike the original) . Even gaming sounds less engaging to me. I like your reviews though.👍👍👍
I recently returned these, they were no good for gaming. Sound was very far away, the wide sound stage didn't benefit the games and it was especially noticeable on spells and cinematics where male vocals were so muted. It was way too sharp in the highs and required EQ which still could never get it just right, and mids being so muted meant certain sounds in games were now gone. I also did not find it comfortable.
Question what do u do for a living besides youtube I mean for 30 to 100k views a videos and what 1 2 videos a month sometimes less can't be paying the bills well mayne if ya goy sponsors is good
I have original 770 Pro 80, and bought this 770 Pro X. For me Pro X is the clear winner with its less fatiguing high-mids peak and tighter bass response!
770 Pro was my first decent pair, it's an absolute legend. I recommended it to a ton of friend who still rock it to this day. This release with removeable cable is the icing on the cake, I used to manually add this port in the past.
Mine is the Philips Fidelio X2HR paired with a Soundblaster G3. I still have it and have exactly 1 day to return these. Actually I only a have a couple of hours. What you think? Should I "upgrade"?! Any recommendation to the X2HR? I like these a lot. bassy and tons of fun. Even crazier with the EQ in the amp. It's all a budget target, got these x2hr under a hundred and the dac just for thirty. One thing I do not particularly understand is the open back perks, I don't seem to notice significant differences between open and closed back.
I gave them a try and my thought is, get DT700 Pro X if you want the flat frequency response. Or get DT770 Pro X LE if you prefer a little more V shaped frequency response..
I wish there was a wider market for closed backs tbh. I just can't do open backs but a lot of the good closed backs are higher price points and usually require something more to drive.
as far as I'm seeing it, the Fiio JT1S seems like the current top budget closed back, and if you have more cash you can go up to the Audeze Maxwell for better sound and lossless wireless connectivity. I'd say that covers the 2 price ranges most people are interested in.
Sony M1ST On that not there's always a large number of closed backs simed at audio production and monitoring since they don't want bleed into the mic's.
@@houssamalucad753 All bluetooth codecs are lossy, so you won't be able to get full lossless quality, but having a lossless source will give you better quality because lossy to lossy transcoding inherently degrades quality.
Was just looking at upgrading my live headsets for bass guitar at my church. My AT’s are getting a little tired and this model seems to handle all of my objections. Could not have come at a better time, always the G O A T 🙌
Dope review! Picked them up because of you. For sure more a V shape sound. Treb is a little to sharp in a lot of games and i cant seem to tune it out. but man the open sound stage and bass whew! Just off a goxlr these can bang. A tad un comfy in the head band. I come from suspension styles. IMO the best design wish these had it. Not a bad price rn either.
Homie chill 770 have like 0 bass 90% of the time literally there will never be a moment where you cant hear something not to talk about sound design like warzone where audio literally missing. Also from the graph u literally show new model has more bass and bad dip in low mids Ik u selling the new model but dont be throwing bs on the old model
Doubting I'll get a reply, but currently looking at replacing my (SteelSeries 9x) after a plethora of issues to the point where they decided to brick. But alas I'll get to the point. I am stuck deciding between the (DT770 Pro X) and the (DT990 Pro Black Edition 80 ohm) what would your advice be. Never had open backs before and really want to try them but worried that the 770s will be better quality than the 990s. Also I'm in the UK so have to get them from polar and looking to pair then with the Schiit Fulla 3e. But I know I want to go with Beyerdynamic for my new headphones. Ps love the content mate.
I'm probably 3 pairs deep into DT 770 Pro's over the last decade. They are just synonymous with headphones at this point. They are reliable, repairable and sound great. They are the 'old faithful'. Needless to say, as soon as I watched your video I picked a pair up, happy to support a good product!
Does the quality of the materials used appear comparable to older versions of the DT770s? The limited were my first headphone purchase and I'm curious if the quality of materials/build has been cheapened over time. They are awesome headphones either way!
I've just recently discovered the 770, after trying the MDR 7506. We're so lucky that one of the most popular, durable and repairable 'buy it for life' headphones also happens to be genuinely one of the best sounding headphones you can buy. I was down the audiophile rabbit hole way too long and these have thankfully dragged me out of it
I've been enjoying my DT 1990 Pros for almost 4 years now and the only issues I've had are that the service kit cable (that connects the drivers together) has finally shorted out. However, I've got a cable replacement on the way and it's a very simple fix that you can do by yourself without having to do any soldering. The only reason the cable is even shorted is due to one of my pets getting caught under my desk, snagging the cable and yanking my headphones off my head onto the floor abruptly a couple of times. I expect to keep using these cans for at least another decade without having to service them much if at all.
Interesting. My DT 900 Pro X's broke like three weeks ago, the headband finally truly gave out, so I've been meaning to get a replacement. I'm fully interested to see what these can bring. Thanks for the vid.
You're still liking them? I'm torn between the standard model or these. The detachable cable's handy but I'm more interested in whether the sound difference is worth the extra money
@@TheHulksMistress I do still like them a lot, but I never owned the standard model so can't speak to the differences. At least for me the sound signature is great all around, and I find them to be quite comfortable, even if they can get a bit warm
Two things... If I needed to replace my 770 Pro, I would grab these without hesitation based on your review. Heck, it was your review that turned me onto the 770 Pros in the first place. ;) The second thing, however, is that BD has stopped selling the replacement headband cushions that fit these. I know because the "leather" recently started peeling off in one spot on mine and the only available replacements were from 3rd party suppliers, and they're the exact same or poorer "quality" than the original. I recommend, and am currently using, a removable/washable cover that goes over the headband cushion to keep it from flaking/peeling away. Thanks for the killer review as always!
Dekoni has a replacement headband cover an they're usually decently regarded, Otherwise maybe see if you can get the pro x's to go on your older model.
@@profosist Thanks for the heads-up. The cushion itself still works and feels great, it's just that outer material that's failing, but when the cushion gives out I'll know what to look at. :D
What would you recommend for movies and gaming (adventure)? I was looking into DT900 Pro X but I need sound isolation so am looking at 700 Pro X. But now I'm wondering about the 770 Pro X... what do you think? (Also I prefer bigger pads and less clamping force) Edit: I think you answered my question at the end.
You should make a whole video about we can convince our significan others that we need new gaming gear in our lives. My wife keeps saying I don't need these things LOL LOL! Keep up the good stuff!
I just bought this headset. Does anyone have some advice on which dac/amp I should buy to make them sound great. For reference i will mostly use them for gaming. Thanks in advance
I wish I had a reason to replace my DT770 80ohms cause I really like what I've been hearing about those new Limited Edition ones. I wonder if they perform well enough if they will lose the "Limited Edition" name and just become a normal model.
The Pro X is a huge upgrade, huge. I'm in love with them. The bass quality adds to the soundstage presence and reality, and the mids, although similarly tuned, no longer sound veiled anymore! And the treble has more details and accuracy. I think the image and soundstage are better, wider, deeper, more precise at the same time. They're also easier to drive. Comfort is exactly the same, they feel the same.
how this thing compared against the maxwell? i think that beyerdynamic's headphones do last longer especially considering maxwell is using planar magnetic (more fragile), but I need those convenience about the built-in microphone and wireless connectivity. what do your thoughts about these? especially comparing those two interms of their sound quality?
Why did they use these new drivers?! They should have kept the 80 and 250 Ohm drivers, but now it's definitely a pass. The new drivers are just overdampened and dull, even though the treble is still sharp. Would have gotten it if it came with the old 80 Ohm driver.
I prefer the new driver, as he said it changes a lot of things for the better and moves some of the peaks to a different area that people might prefer.
@@burns0100I wonder how much of that is down to pad wear on his old 770. Beyers tend to relax a fair bit in the treble as the pads break in. Plus you've got the notoriously bad beyer unit variation, so taking a single measurement as gospel might not tell the full story. But ignoring that and taking these measurements at face value, it would look like a downgrade to most people. An even bigger chunk scooped out of the upper bass and lower mids, more recessed upper mids, and even peakier treble.
How do these compare to the Tygr 300r for gaming? i've had the 770 880 and 990 in the past and now use the 300r, just curious.i liked the original 770👍
I'm actually running the DT 990 Pros with 250OHM for my music production and they are a solid choice! I plan on buying the DT 770 Pro X LE's because I hear they are slightly better than the 990 Pro's. As for production I tend to produce tons of EDM such as Trance, Dubstep, and Progressive House, so lots of bass heavy music. Someone had recommended me the Audio Technicas over the DT 990's, but nah. The velour ear muffs feel amazing and they don't warm up your ear to the point you are sweating, and with a quiet place and having them as open-back headphones, they are amazing for mixing and mastering.
I bought it long ago, the first pair lasted for almost 2 years but I had to use warranty due to some plastic breaking and got send a new pair that lasted even more than that, in the end it broke too plus the earpads go so worn it really made was painful to use. It got really warm too, with both stock and leather pads. In the end I decided to go for ATH M50X and couldn't be happier. it's really worn after a couple years but the build quality is much better while sound is really good too. Both are great choices tbh.
Nice, these might be something for me. I'm liking EDM with low bass. Love to watch all those concerts on UA-cam like Tomorrowland and Luminosity but also all kinds of metal. Budget 200-400 euro. I like the optional cable with built in DAC also with either usb-c or lightning connector. Coming from Sennheiser HD25 and a pair of green old Razer headphones.
I got them but they are uncomfortable on my ears after a bit, i've tried adjusting it but i can't get it to work. Any other recommendation for closed back? I can't do open back in my college dorm in good faith with a roommate.

Thanks. As a very happy OG 770 owner I needed to hear this :) Perhaps we will see more critical reviews after the hype dies down a bit.
Please review aune ar5000 headphone
I recently returned these, they were no good for gaming. Sound was very far away, the wide sound stage didn't benefit the games and it was especially noticeable on spells and cinematics where male vocals were so muted. It was way too sharp in the highs and required EQ which still could never get it just right, and mids being so muted meant certain sounds in games were now gone. I also did not find it comfortable.
I don't know - my DT 770 Pro Limited Edition 32Ohm had better bass response.
If only they have a wireless ones. My son keeps on yanking the cable 😭
Bluetooth means worse sound quality
@@artureff3046 how about the one with usb dongle?
Question what do u do for a living besides youtube I mean for 30 to 100k views a videos and what 1 2 videos a month sometimes less can't be paying the bills well mayne if ya goy sponsors is good
$200 for replacement ear pads, when the whole thing costs $170? 🙃
Pads aren’t that much, they are like $50.
Another overpriced under-performer from Beyer.
I have original 770 Pro 80, and bought this 770 Pro X. For me Pro X is the clear winner with its less fatiguing high-mids peak and tighter bass response!
770 Pro was my first decent pair, it's an absolute legend. I recommended it to a ton of friend who still rock it to this day. This release with removeable cable is the icing on the cake, I used to manually add this port in the past.
Mine is the Philips Fidelio X2HR paired with a Soundblaster G3. I still have it and have exactly 1 day to return these. Actually I only a have a couple of hours. What you think? Should I "upgrade"?! Any recommendation to the X2HR?
I like these a lot. bassy and tons of fun. Even crazier with the EQ in the amp. It's all a budget target, got these x2hr under a hundred and the dac just for thirty.
One thing I do not particularly understand is the open back perks, I don't seem to notice significant differences between open and closed back.
I gave them a try and my thought is, get DT700 Pro X if you want the flat frequency response. Or get DT770 Pro X LE if you prefer a little more V shaped frequency response..
Perfect timing! I've been looking at the BD 770s for a while and balking at the hard wired cable. Take my money!
same for me
I wish there was a wider market for closed backs tbh. I just can't do open backs but a lot of the good closed backs are higher price points and usually require something more to drive.
These are very good. Not too much of a crazy price and they will last a long time. One of the best options right now for closed backs.
@@burns0100 oh for sure, this is the first appealing one in a long while
as far as I'm seeing it, the Fiio JT1S seems like the current top budget closed back, and if you have more cash you can go up to the Audeze Maxwell for better sound and lossless wireless connectivity. I'd say that covers the 2 price ranges most people are interested in.
Sony M1ST
On that not there's always a large number of closed backs simed at audio production and monitoring since they don't want bleed into the mic's.
@@houssamalucad753 All bluetooth codecs are lossy, so you won't be able to get full lossless quality, but having a lossless source will give you better quality because lossy to lossy transcoding inherently degrades quality.
Was just looking at upgrading my live headsets for bass guitar at my church. My AT’s are getting a little tired and this model seems to handle all of my objections. Could not have come at a better time, always the G O A T 🙌
Dope review!
Picked them up because of you.
For sure more a V shape sound. Treb is a little to sharp in a lot of games and i cant seem to tune it out. but man the open sound stage and bass whew! Just off a goxlr these can bang. A tad un comfy in the head band. I come from suspension styles. IMO the best design wish these had it. Not a bad price rn either.
Homie chill 770 have like 0 bass 90% of the time literally there will never be a moment where you cant hear something not to talk about sound design like warzone where audio literally missing.
Also from the graph u literally show new model has more bass and bad dip in low mids
Ik u selling the new model but dont be throwing bs on the old model
He’s said his opinion. You forget sound is objective
Dude,,, can u talk slower,,, my body
cant translate that fast
😂
Really excited at the frequency measurement rig. I really hope you post more headphone reviews with graphs. Great video, mate.
Doubting I'll get a reply, but currently looking at replacing my (SteelSeries 9x) after a plethora of issues to the point where they decided to brick. But alas I'll get to the point.
I am stuck deciding between the (DT770 Pro X) and the (DT990 Pro Black Edition 80 ohm) what would your advice be.
Never had open backs before and really want to try them but worried that the 770s will be better quality than the 990s.
Also I'm in the UK so have to get them from polar and looking to pair then with the Schiit Fulla 3e. But I know I want to go with Beyerdynamic for my new headphones.
Ps love the content mate.
Now please replicate these with the DT 990s Bayer 🙏
I'm probably 3 pairs deep into DT 770 Pro's over the last decade. They are just synonymous with headphones at this point. They are reliable, repairable and sound great. They are the 'old faithful'. Needless to say, as soon as I watched your video I picked a pair up, happy to support a good product!
Does the quality of the materials used appear comparable to older versions of the DT770s? The limited were my first headphone purchase and I'm curious if the quality of materials/build has been cheapened over time. They are awesome headphones either way!
I've just recently discovered the 770, after trying the MDR 7506. We're so lucky that one of the most popular, durable and repairable 'buy it for life' headphones also happens to be genuinely one of the best sounding headphones you can buy. I was down the audiophile rabbit hole way too long and these have thankfully dragged me out of it
I've been enjoying my DT 1990 Pros for almost 4 years now and the only issues I've had are that the service kit cable (that connects the drivers together) has finally shorted out. However, I've got a cable replacement on the way and it's a very simple fix that you can do by yourself without having to do any soldering. The only reason the cable is even shorted is due to one of my pets getting caught under my desk, snagging the cable and yanking my headphones off my head onto the floor abruptly a couple of times. I expect to keep using these cans for at least another decade without having to service them much if at all.
Seems like another sidegrade for a hd58x owner.
Interesting. My DT 900 Pro X's broke like three weeks ago, the headband finally truly gave out, so I've been meaning to get a replacement. I'm fully interested to see what these can bring. Thanks for the vid.
Listening to this review on these headphones, having grabbed them with the preorder. Thanks for helping to justify my purchase lol
me 2 😎, really good ones
You're still liking them? I'm torn between the standard model or these. The detachable cable's handy but I'm more interested in whether the sound difference is worth the extra money
@@TheHulksMistress I do still like them a lot, but I never owned the standard model so can't speak to the differences. At least for me the sound signature is great all around, and I find them to be quite comfortable, even if they can get a bit warm
Two things... If I needed to replace my 770 Pro, I would grab these without hesitation based on your review. Heck, it was your review that turned me onto the 770 Pros in the first place. ;) The second thing, however, is that BD has stopped selling the replacement headband cushions that fit these. I know because the "leather" recently started peeling off in one spot on mine and the only available replacements were from 3rd party suppliers, and they're the exact same or poorer "quality" than the original. I recommend, and am currently using, a removable/washable cover that goes over the headband cushion to keep it from flaking/peeling away. Thanks for the killer review as always!
Dekoni has a replacement headband cover an they're usually decently regarded, Otherwise maybe see if you can get the pro x's to go on your older model.
@@profosist Thanks for the heads-up. The cushion itself still works and feels great, it's just that outer material that's failing, but when the cushion gives out I'll know what to look at. :D
What would you recommend for movies and gaming (adventure)? I was looking into DT900 Pro X but I need sound isolation so am looking at 700 Pro X. But now I'm wondering about the 770 Pro X... what do you think? (Also I prefer bigger pads and less clamping force)
Edit: I think you answered my question at the end.
Use these if you want to develop tinnitus 🙏
You should make a whole video about we can convince our significan others that we need new gaming gear in our lives. My wife keeps saying I don't need these things LOL LOL!
Keep up the good stuff!
Tell her that your gaming time relieves your stress, which in turn allows you to then listen to her more fully and attentively. Works like a charm
I just bought this headset. Does anyone have some advice on which dac/amp I should buy to make them sound great. For reference i will mostly use them for gaming. Thanks in advance
I wish I had a reason to replace my DT770 80ohms cause I really like what I've been hearing about those new Limited Edition ones. I wonder if they perform well enough if they will lose the "Limited Edition" name and just become a normal model.
The Pro X is a huge upgrade, huge. I'm in love with them. The bass quality adds to the soundstage presence and reality, and the mids, although similarly tuned, no longer sound veiled anymore! And the treble has more details and accuracy. I think the image and soundstage are better, wider, deeper, more precise at the same time. They're also easier to drive. Comfort is exactly the same, they feel the same.
wanting to get these, what amp would be a good pair for it?
how this thing compared against the maxwell? i think that beyerdynamic's headphones do last longer especially considering maxwell is using planar magnetic (more fragile), but I need those convenience about the built-in microphone and wireless connectivity. what do your thoughts about these? especially comparing those two interms of their sound quality?
do you need a mixer for them or can just plug and play in to a pc?
The Limited Edition you can just plug right in and go. Nothing else needed.
@@badseedtech thanks you for replying much love brother keep up the amazing videos 👍🏽
@@badseedtech Is there a PC external DAC you would recommend to use with these?
Super review, thanks a lot. Greetings from Germany, Armin
Why did they use these new drivers?! They should have kept the 80 and 250 Ohm drivers, but now it's definitely a pass. The new drivers are just overdampened and dull, even though the treble is still sharp. Would have gotten it if it came with the old 80 Ohm driver.
I prefer the new driver, as he said it changes a lot of things for the better and moves some of the peaks to a different area that people might prefer.
@@burns0100I wonder how much of that is down to pad wear on his old 770. Beyers tend to relax a fair bit in the treble as the pads break in. Plus you've got the notoriously bad beyer unit variation, so taking a single measurement as gospel might not tell the full story.
But ignoring that and taking these measurements at face value, it would look like a downgrade to most people. An even bigger chunk scooped out of the upper bass and lower mids, more recessed upper mids, and even peakier treble.
What would be new about them if they kept the old driver? Just buy the original, it's not going anywhere.
How do these compare to the Tygr 300r for gaming? i've had the 770 880 and 990 in the past and now use the 300r, just curious.i liked the original 770👍
I'm actually running the DT 990 Pros with 250OHM for my music production and they are a solid choice! I plan on buying the DT 770 Pro X LE's because I hear they are slightly better than the 990 Pro's. As for production I tend to produce tons of EDM such as Trance, Dubstep, and Progressive House, so lots of bass heavy music.
Someone had recommended me the Audio Technicas over the DT 990's, but nah. The velour ear muffs feel amazing and they don't warm up your ear to the point you are sweating, and with a quiet place and having them as open-back headphones, they are amazing for mixing and mastering.
I bought it long ago, the first pair lasted for almost 2 years but I had to use warranty due to some plastic breaking and got send a new pair that lasted even more than that, in the end it broke too plus the earpads go so worn it really made was painful to use. It got really warm too, with both stock and leather pads. In the end I decided to go for ATH M50X and couldn't be happier. it's really worn after a couple years but the build quality is much better while sound is really good too.
Both are great choices tbh.
Nice, these might be something for me. I'm liking EDM with low bass. Love to watch all those concerts on UA-cam like Tomorrowland and Luminosity but also all kinds of metal.
Budget 200-400 euro.
I like the optional cable with built in DAC also with either usb-c or lightning connector.
Coming from Sennheiser HD25 and a pair of green old Razer headphones.
Any shorter 3.5mm cable recommendation? I can't only find 3ft or 6ft or longer on Amazon. Ideally between 4 and 5 ft would be great for mobile
I got them but they are uncomfortable on my ears after a bit, i've tried adjusting it but i can't get it to work. Any other recommendation for closed back? I can't do open back in my college dorm in good faith with a roommate.
