Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Closed Studio Headphones

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Closed Studio Headphones

Pros: Bass quantity and range, comfort for extended listening, easy to drive
Cons: Recessed mids mean it's not the best choice for some. Earpads lose their shape after time.
The DT770 is a lower priced model of the Beyer line, but it is a boiled down version of the Beyer sound and one of the best values in closed headphones. While known for excellent bass response generally, you will also find them one of the most comfortable in the price range. The ear cups aren't as nice as the DT990 velour pads but they are comfortable. They do get sort of hot after wearing them for a long time. One other great thing about these headphones is how easy they are to drive. They drive well on every mobile mp3 player I tried as well as straight out of a sound card. For hip-hop, electronic, or movies I think this is one of the best headphones you can get for the price.
 
 
You may read about is the recessed mid-levels on this headphone. This is true, which is why this is not an excellent pick for rich instrumental or voice detail. Additionally, there can be some sort of irritating siblance going on at high frequencies, but this occurs with all closed-can headphones as far as I know to varying degrees.

I mean, it depends. Since a decent amp costs as much as these headphones or more, it's probably not "worth" it. It makes the bass a little more punchy but generally these drive really well without an amp. Now I would say if you really enjoy listening to headphones and you plan to get another pair in the future, then get an amp. Because the higher end headphones all need amps. Just don't make the mistake I made and get a really crappy amp. Get a decent amp that will last a while.

If the mids on the 770 were any less recessed they would be overpowering like on the Sennheiser cans I've tried. I don't understand why everyone seems to think that in-your-face mids = better sound. The mids on the 770 are nicely balanced with the entire sound spectrum and are both very present and yet not so overpowered that the lower frequencies are hidden. Again, if the mids on the 770 were any less recessed, they would be almost painful. Don't understand how this myth came to be.
