Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm Over-Ear Studio Headphones in Gray. Enclosed Design, Wired for Professional Recording and Monitoring

Without a DOUBT the best headphones I’ve ever had for a reseaonable price! I was looking to replace my gaming headset for something with better audio and not with the “gamer” tag. The build quality is great, metal reinforced with a comfortable soft headband for long gaming OR listening sessions. The cord is long enough to allow me to freely move around my room like my previously wireless one. Connecting was as easy as plugging into my amp (which you might need depending on your Ohms and motherboard). I would definitely recommend it for gamers looking to move on from the over priced mess that is the gaming headset market. Sound is great, noise canceling via Closed Back sound stage, did I mention COMFORTABLE? Highly recommend!!

I'm rating these headphones at 4.5/5 for being a very good mid-range set of 80-ohm 'head speakers'; I am not comparing these to higher quality (and more expensive) headphones because I've never listened to high-end headphones. I bought these over a month ago and I really like the audio quality, so I'm giving a positive detailed comment here. I, like some others have noted in their comments, find that my ears do warm up and get a little moist very quickly, but after a while I don't notice this, and this aspect never becomes discomforting over hours of use. I wear glasses and these fit over the temples very well and do not cause discomfort, and there's no external sound leakage in/out of the cans. I have larger ears and the cans' size do provide a good over-ears fit, and are just marginally large enough for my ear lobes. I've worn them for hours and have not experienced any fatiguing side pressure on my head. The audio cable (3.5mm plug) is quite long and has a substantial cable diameter, and it is an attached cord. The 3.5mm male audio plug fits firmly into an audio plug socket. I don't hear any extra bass frequency emphasis, just as others have noted too; it feels balanced across the low, mid, and higher sound frequencies (I'm not an audiophile). I use these connected to a FiiO USB E10K audio DAC (avail on Amazon; it's an external USB sound card, essentially), which converts USB digital audio into the analog stereo audio signal; perfect for USB audio-out devices like a PC and a Sony PS4. I bought these to replace an Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor Headphone, which eventually broke (irreparable) after 3 years at the can hinges. I'd say the AT-40s have a bit more bass emphasis than these DT 770s, so I liked the AT-40's audio (soundstage?) perhaps a wee bit more. These have less side-clamping pressure too. I've read that the AT-40's can hinges have been improved to reduce its track-history of breaking, but I wasn't willing to chance it again. I'm pleased with the music quality I hear from uncompressed audio (like CD music). I cannot detect any audio distortion or frequency drop-off across the audio ranges, though again I do not have a 'critical ear' listening sensitivity (and don't want to either). When an audio file source has a defect or distortion, you will hear it - as you should with quality speakers. The build quality and hinges! are better. I feel I made a good purchase with these mid-range-quality headphones in this price range. HTH

I have used many different brands of headphones throughout the years as I am a music obsessed "junkie." I seriously cannot exist one day without my music! It is my constant energy source (other than coffee) :) I have always been a mostly dedicated Sony girl (still love them), but decided to give these a chance as I love to continue sampling with sound. I can get brand specific, but I am always open minded and adventurous and love to experiment! When you listen to music as much as I do (17-19 hours a day), as well as play around with recording, you like to have a broad spectrum of tools available to you. After reading many of these reviews and researching the specs for each model I decided the 80 ohms were just the right vibe for me and all my applications. Let me say - I love when risks pay off! The minute I slipped these on I was blown away. (which is why this review is rather LONG) Biggest factors were: 1. Comfort - The velour earpads are incredibly luxurious and snug against the head without being claustrophobic or sweat inducing (both of which I have horrible issues with). I was especially concerned about this because it is something that happens to me with pretty much any ear cup trapping heat against my head. I am a hyperhidrosis sufferer of over 28+ years, and since that is never going away and any little thing can trigger a nasty sweating episode, I certainly don't want my number one and favorite activity to be contributing to that! I have been wearing these for hours at a time (longest session was 3.5 hours so far) and at times forget they are on - they are just that comfortable in their design. The cord is long, but if you run it behind your back it never gets in your way or adds considerable weightiness. The adjustable headband is genius in the snap design and I love how sturdy they feel. Although they look heavy I was amazed at how light weight they actually are. Another issue I tend to have with overears is significant pain on the top of my head from plastic rub or behind my ears rubbing. I have been wearing these almost non-stop for about 3 days now and have not had one complaint. I just have to remember to take them off to let my ears have a break from their amazing SOUND. 2. Sound quality (listening) - the 80s are super well balanced if you are using applications that do not require amplification. They are perfectly designed for your every day musical consumption through a computer or smartphone, but I mostly bought this set to record vocals with my mic. They give me a rich, all around balanced experience where i feel the trebles are clear enough and the bass is not so "thuddy" it seems "muddy." It's actually very punchy, warm, and responsive feeling. Don't get me wrong, I err on the side of more bass as I love hearing that rich tone, but I never want it to be overpowered as some in the Beats brand can be. I do use Beats tour 2.0 as my main earbud, but for an over ear they can be a little overpowered. On that note, some headphones require really precise tuning with an EQ to manipulate their best performance, but these Beyerdynamics are as plug and play as you could hope for. I listen to a very broad range of music too - from punk to classic rock to EDM to Alternative to hard rock, to Prog, to some pop and metal etc.. . I'm just an all around music enthusiast and these headphones make me hear all the same songs in a whole new light. And that's exactly what I was looking for since I want to enjoy the same thing over and over, but never tire of having a new experience with something even though it's familiar. You definitely don't need your device turned up too high to enjoy the depth of the sound you get. The pads are not noise cancelling, but they do a great job of isolating sound close enough to you to fully immerse you in the experience. 2.2 Sound (recording) I haven't got to use these as much yet on the recording side with my Blue USB mic, but from the little I sampled with it they are perfectly designed to meet my expectations. They do a fabulous job of isolating the input in your ear, but still allow you to hear some of what is happening around you without it being a distraction. I noticed that right away and loved that aspect. They cut down the distractions, but don't make you "disappear." 3. Aesthetic appeal/long term investment - They are stylish while still being professional - so many headsets can go for one goal and miss out on the other. I think this set does a great job of adding excitement/uniqueness to the design without sacrificing quality. They don't look "stupid" on your head - like a gimmicky, "I just want to be cool" look. But they definitely aren't boring or cheap looking either. In fact, they are less bothersome on my huge head of hair than some headsets have been. If you have alot of hair to hide them, they can almost look like earmuffs instead of headphones, and while possibly an irrelevant point, I thought it was pretty neat. :) All parts are replaceable too! So that sets them apart to be a good long term investment if you find you enjoy the experience as much as I do. Clsoing points are - there is no compromise for quality or well engineered, smartly run, passionate companies. This was my first experience with Beyerdynamic and it has been one well worth having.
