I am quite tempted by the 900 as the quick and dirty option for something that fares well straight outta the iPhone...

They do indeed sound great from the lightning --> jack line out from an iPhone! Very punchy and open sounding.

Yes, that they accomplished beautifully: the new driver is not only efficient but sounds good with low powered sources

Edit: there's an interesting article at the German Beyerdynamic blog about the new driver with some technical details:

Had a bit of time last night, so did some measurements with the MiniDPS EARS and tinkered with EQ some for the DT700 Pro X I just got.
Summary is, I love these headphones
EQ for EQ APO:
Filter: ON LS Fc 100 Hz Gain 3 dB
Filter: ON PK Fc 55 Hz Gain 2 dB Q 1
Filter: ON PK Fc 260 Hz Gain 6 dB Q 2
Filter: ON PK Fc 3500 Hz Gain 4 dB Q 2

The low shelf is up to preference. I love big stinky bass, sue me. The others balance out the few dips in this otherwise great sounding set of cans.

Enjoying the 700s with the THX Onyx amp. One proviso is having a good seal to get the best bass response and even frequency balance. If not, I feel the sound becomes slightly bass light and upper-mid range forward (shouty). I am also enjoying the rolled-off natural sounding treble which reduces fatigue during extended listening.

Thanks for a good review. I agree very much. I am still kind of surprised with the DT900 ProX. Everything is just so RIGHT with them. The comfort, the materials and the sound. After trying the new T1.3 and T5.3 I was disappointed with the direction Beyerdynamic took with the new way too dark (for me) sound signature. I was afraid that they deserted their old "house-sound". But I am SO pleased that with DT900 they are back where they belong. This time even better than before with even more punch and sparkle and even though DT900 ProX is created for creators, mixing and studios it is still a pleasure to listen to music with.

I’ve noticed over the years a general trend of Beyers consumer/audiophile marketed headphones to get warmer and darker which people either love or hate. Whereas with their professional products they seem to be keeping the more traditional neutral tuning but getting a better handle on their treble.

That sums it up pretty well, yes. I’m wtill hesitation try out the new T5, but the DT700 is gold.

If you like the tuning of of the T1.3 and T5.3 they are great but it’s not for everyone. I personally love their sound, but I see why many won’t like them. They are a listen first headphone (preferably at length and with an open mind). It’s nice having the sound signature variety among models but they aren’t what you expect from Beyer.

Hopefully I’ll get to listen to the DT 700/900 sometime soon, likely not unless a friend gets a pair as I don’t plan on getting any new headphones for a while.

HelIo, I see that you also own the 1770s. I went back and forth for a few days until I eventaully decided on the 700 pro X. How do you think the 900 Pro X compares to the 1770? I read that the 700 and 900 are pretty similar.

I an still on the fence between the 1770 and the 700 pro X so would love to hear your thoughts.

I listen to mostly metal music and will be pairing them with the JDS Element II. I also own a pair of HD6XX but also want closed pair for the passive isolation.

I really love both the DT700PRO X and the 900PRO X, but as for metal music, my pick is the DT1770PRO with stock leather pads (included in package).
You'll be surprised by 1770's super fast bass/drums, sparkling guitars, and lively male vocals. it's pricey, but IMO it's one of the best headphones for metal music.

Alright, thanks! Would you say that there is a big differance in sound between the two? Also, which one would you prefer for gaming?

In speaking of metal music, I have to say it's pretty big difference between the 1770PRO and others.
As gaming headphones, I'd choose the 900PRO X. Actually I play Apex Legends with it since I purchased the headphone replacing my old Sennheiser GSP300 headset.

Not tested the new x-series yet.
But own DT1770. rock/metal and almost anything sounds good with these headphones.
