beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80 Ohm

*Pros*

• the most comfortable pair I've ever owned and that's a big plus if you're gonna wear them for day-long editing sessions like I do.

*Cons*

• V-shaped frequency response, the highs are too accented for my taste, almost unbearable in some cases.

• Cable is not detachable and the coiled one is only available with the 250 ohm version.

• Since 2019 BD changed the screw adaptor from the standard M8 (which all other manufacturers use) to M5. The adaptor shipped with the headphones was faulty and it's a pain to find the new M5s

Comfortable earpads (the main reason I bought them), the sound is pretty good, but after an year of sparse usage the right speaker stopped working suddenly. Maybe the cable, which I find horrible (too stiff) has failed somewhere, but it doesn't make a contact at any position of the cable, so might be something else. When buying them, I knew that a non-removable cable is a weakness, but expected them to last longer, so this is a big disappointment. Now I prefer I have bought something else, with a detachable cable, even though not so comfortable.
EDIT: I got them serviced by Thomann for free under warranty. Now they work again, but the cable is still worrisome. The whole repair including the free transportation from and to Bulgaria took 2-3 weeks, which is very reasonable, so kudos to Thomann for this. The repair report was about the cable, and there are no traces of the repair, which is great. On the other hand I requested, if possible to put a jack, and a detachable cable, even if it will not look as stock made, and it was recorded as a desire, but not fulfilled and even not a mention about it, when I was notified that the repair was completed. Of course I understand they might have had technical obstacles doing it.

Sterile. Accurate. good highs. Build seems good for now. Bass farts when EQ`d.

Its allright for moderate volume. if u wanna mix music, i think these could be perfect for you. For enjoying to music they sound increadibly flat. Through my scarlet, my headphone amp and my monitors. I have an EQ that i try to rectify the problem with. Doesnt help at all. the headphones start farting out on the bass frequency at 2`o clock at the bass dial. Had a couple of ath-m50s that i was totally satisfied with. Which is why i bought 4 of them and they all sounded superb when EQ`d. but all have broken. The m50s i recommended to my mates broke aswell all because of a single 3mm plastic piece that connects the earcup and the band.

This being said. i would rather have these headphones than any gaming or home audio related headphones out there at this price.
if u got the money and u preffer a punchy bass get something more expensive or keep replacing m50s.
if u value highs more in your music listening then these should be good value for you.

I have audio technica m50 the old one and i wanted to upgrade to something better, so i go for dt 770 80 ohm. When you volume them up with bass they distort ! my firts opinion was that there are something wrong about them but i read reviews and i was not the only one. The comfort and build quality is amazing except the 300 km cable which i dont know why is so long. The sound quality to me is lower to m50 so i am disappointed i didnt go for m50x. The bass as i said distorts in high volume but in normal volume is good, mid is good but this treble its terrible . Sonarworks saved me so i can mix and master properly. Soundstage is amazing though !
