Just received new DT770 Pros as a Christmas gift. Audio Production student looking for decent priced, high quality sound, and boy does this pair deliver. Excellent highs, thumping lows and versatile everywhere in between. Slight drawback is they do have a bit of oustide bleed, but are very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Got these this Christmas from my mom for drumming. When I first got them the first things I noticed were ;

-nice case- leather case with foam for great protection 5/5
-heavy duty- high end product, feels like a $250 headset should 5/5
-noise cancelling- at first I was annoyed because it didn't seem like it was noise canceling but after a minute I realized everyone in the room was talking but I couldn't hear them. 4/5
-audio quality- same as noise canceling, didn't seem like too much off from apple earbuds bud after 30 minutes of listening to music I realized the clarity and surround sound-ness... 5/5
-Audio plug- I noticed you could plug it Into an amp or iPod. I think the jack is aluminum or gold plated. Very high quality, some bend and break. Not this one! 5/5
-style-this is 100% my opinion. I love the look. I like chunky looking things (not women ;p) and these are pleasant to look at. 5/5
-Comfort-after wearing them, I didn't want to wear any others. They'll fit to Anyones head and the band is super comfortable. Even after hours, I forget they're there. 5/5
Over all these cans get a 4.75 or 5/5 great buy. If you're looking for better sound quality and noise canceling, have an extra $50, get beats by dre. However, they aren't as durable.

A producer that I work with bought these for his studio. We had been getting lack luster vocals from singers who otherwise were very good. I decided to investigate. I tried singing using them, and to my amazement, I couldn't hear myself. I thought that It must be a level issue, so I boosted my track level to the cans, and still couldn't hear myself. I ran to the closest pro audio store and purchased three other sets of headphones. EVERY ONE PERFORMED MUCH BETTER. I tried a pair of Sony's...they were a BIG improvement. Next, a pair of the Dr. Dre's...pretty hyped and not really my cup of tea, but I could hear myself. Finally, Audio Technica ATH-M50's...FANTASTIC! I don't know what they did wrong with these headphones, but they are unusable for any kind of studio application. Other than really expensive ear muffs, I would just pass these by. Just AWEFUL!

Price Paid: $370.00

The Headphones are high quality and easy to dismantle if any parts needed replacing. The mid and high tones are produced with ease and with no digital clipping even when put to a decent volume test, to the point where i had to take it off my ears for it started to hurt.

When listening to songs i have known for years i started to hear reverb, echo's, special effects, and all the little things that were put there by engineers, and producers, for us to hear, though i had never picked up on before. I noticed it all because of the clarity from the lows, mid's and high's.

The Bass side of these headphones are possibly my favourite part, they have a very detailed low end, with a lot of feeling, maybe not as much as a dedicated sub-woofer in the back of a car, but about as much as you could possibly imagine from a set of headphones.

The only downside i would give to these headphones are that they let a fair amount of sound escape the headphones, so when recording vocals, this may add bleeding to the mic. If its for a drummer, or sorts, it would be a little less noticeable.

Overall i am very pleased with my purchase, and am thinking about getting another pair. Possibly A Beyer Dynamic DT 770 M just for the drummer too :)

8.5 / 10

The first thing you notice about these headphones are that they are very bulky - this is not a problem as I will principally be using them for studio applications. When I put these on I found that they are extremely comfy, probably the most comfy headphones I have worn. They are nice and tight but sit very neutrally on my head. As soon as you put these on you realise just how well they isolate the sound and just how noisy your room is. They are quoted as 18dBA isolation and without doing tests I think this is fairly accurate. Then we come to the sound. From right down at the bottom to the air at the top these headphones ooze class. There is a very exposed midrange which I think I would trust to make serious mixing decisions in the futures. A great reference pair of headphones!!

I purchased these almost two months ago. I was amazed at the detail and quality of the sound produced by these. All across the spectrum from sizzling highs to deep bass. However a month into having them i started to notice that the left channel gave off a kinda of blown speaker sound. On certain bass notes the left side sounded bad. I wasn't sure at first so i tried different synths thinking that could be the problem. finally I took them back to Guitar Center and plugged them into a Korg synth on display to see if they still made that sound. they did and luckily I had purchased the insurance. I sent them back and got a check for the amount.

Since these are the "best" at guitar center I bought another pair. I have had this pair for one week and now the right channel is distorting bass notes again! In a full mix you can hardly tell... but if you are working with the bass for a track it can be very annoying! I plan on returning these ASAP.

Apparently I am not the only one to have this problem. further more to have two sets go bad in a two month period is horrible. I do not have any kind of amp and the volumes that i use them at are hardly enough to blow even the cheapest of headphones. If you decided to take theses BUY THE INSURANCE!!! Otherwise you will regret it.

Strength:

Fantastic sounding and very comfortable

Weakness:

Until they break..... and break......

I was incredibly impressed with the sound of these headphones, they are probably the nicest headphones I have ever heard. Everything from low to high is incredibly clear and represented, and the transient response is very revealing for headphones.
Unfortunately, they keep blowing and distorting bass notes. My pair have blown twice in 6 months and even though Beyer have repaired, I am thoroughly unsatisfied with this. I've never had HP's blow on me in the past and these have only been plugged into the dedicated headphone out of my Focusrite Saffire audio interface.
They have been sat on the shelf as I have not had the time to post them to Beyer (again)
Despite my initial satisfaction with their (truly awesome) sound, these headphones were not worth the money and my low score reflects my disappointment.

Well, they repaired them..... but they broke again. It took a while to get them back too.

Weakness:

1/4" (6.35mm) adapter is screw on only...
kinda ugly :D

Wonderful pristine quality!

I had just sat down to listen to a piano concerto by Edward Grieg (for any pianists out there, the 1st of course) and began to realize exactly why these headphones cost as much as they did...

I could actually HEAR the flautist (flute) taking breaths before playing! I could also hear the bench squeak as the pianist shifted his weight. Then other subtle things such as the sound of the sustain pedal thumping when it comes back up too hard and a cough from the audience...

I was slightly iffy when I bought them on just how much better they'd be than anything I had used before. Much to my surprise, they were worth every penny.

Now, this might be using a screw driver as a hammer... but I noticed that they're great for watching movies with too. You get that full "window shattering" rumble to the quietist steps.

Strength:

All-around amazing cans. These things kick my brain into gear. These literally are amazing.

Weakness:

I'd love just a bit more boom. I don't know if there is a can on the market which will make my head move any more though, so I think I just have extravagant taste.

I've been using UltraSone's HFI-700's for the past year, and although I've been really happy with those, I felt like I was missing out on the low lows and the high highs if that makes any sense. Also my ears sweat quite a bit with them. Since getting the Beyer's a couple hours ago, I've been really impressed. They are so light and comfortable in comparison, the sound is immaculate, clean, and deep when it needs to be. I'm no audiophile, but I'll admit I have expensive taste. These are fantastic for AV, and Computer listening.

Customer Service

Ordered on Ebay...Customer service was fast and efficient.
