Beyerdynamic DT-1770: Product Info, Discussion and Impressions

[plakat]

Nice design... looking forward to take a look at them at IFA I guess.

Very good. After all, it's a pro tool, not another "audiophilic" equalization headphone.

too many pseudo pro tools we have been having around since audio hype

I don't know much about cables, can the new cable connector accept a balanced cable without having to mod the actual headphones?

There is much more pseudo-audiophilic products then pseudo-pro tools...
Look at those wanna-be high-end Chinese companies ...

It's supposed to be somewhat standard.

 There is a standard : The best standard out-there is UNBALANCED connection.

Balanced requires separate left and right ground . This connector has common ground so balanced would require significant modification

Correct. DT 1770 Pro is not intended for balanced-mode use and would require some deeper modification.

 

[Juan Virgo]

There is no such thing as a balanced headphone connection in a PRO world, its a nonsense ..
When your balanced connection is better then a regular (un-balanced), it is mean only one thing:
 
The amplifier manufacture made the unbalanced connection tuned badly. It is not a conspiracy, this is a real world example...
The superiority of balanced connection in headphones is a fake.
