beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro Studio Headphone

As I said, this pair is excellent for analytical listening for audiophiles or for music producers who want to mix and master. Instrument separation and clarity is impeccable both in terms of high mid and low frequencies. The main distinguishing factor is that these give you really accurate bass and sub-bass response, which was missing from my hd650s. These are built like a tank, and the case is a little too big for travel. Finally, I mentioned that casual listeners should avoid this because they are so analytical that it highlights flaws in poorly mastered songs or low-quality songs a bit too much, and they sound worse.

J’en ai testé plusieurs pour remplacer mon Sennheiser HD800, et au final c’était celui dont la sonorité me convenait le mieux. Très détaillé, et avec une bonne présence des basses (j’écoute de la musique orchestrale, classique, et musique de films). D’autres utilisateurs parlaient de la pression sur la tête, autour de l’oreille. C’est vrai que pour moi, je l’ai senti assez au début. Mais avec le temps, je m’y suis fait. En le portant je la sens encore, sans que ça soit négatif. Par contre le cable, au contact de mes vêtements, transmettait un bruit de frottement assez fort dans l’écouteur gauche. J’ai remplacé par un cable générique non-tressé commandé sur Amazon et a ça bien amélioré le problème.

Ottimo prodotto. Anche i materiali sono ottimi. In passato ho sempre avuto prodotti di una famosa marca concorrente. Forse la qualità di riproduzione era leggermente superiore ma la "build quality" decisamente inferiore. Molto soddisfatto.

Once in my hands I could feel the quality, sadly the quality and build of the headphone did not live up to potential. Dismiss all the 5 Star reviews as these are horrible headphones and I feel like they actually damaged my hearing. First we start with the lows, muddy and slightly one tone. The mid's are almost nonexistent, I was listening to Out of Touch by John and Oats, so much was missing, I swapped to my M40x's with ZMF cowhide pads and I was amazed at the clarity of the M40x. I could actually hear the guitar in my right ear slightly in front of me, while the DT 1770 Pro was so overpowered by the muddy bass and the piercing vocals it made it hard to hear the guitar. The Treble is the worst thing about this headphone. I tried to love this headphone, The build quality, the beautiful design, but I was let down by the sound, arguably the most important factor of a professional headphone. My M40x's were a breath of fresh air after listening to these painful headphones. Unless you like your ears bleeding dont get these. I was one those people who didn't believe in the reviews about the harsh Beyer treble, don't be like me, get something actually good like Meze 99 Noir's, HD6XX's, M40x's, Argon MK3's, etc.

Bought with my own cash money. Update IV --- 23/2/16 --- Ditched the A20 as treble detail was a little bit lacking and the bass had a tendency to be slightly overwhelming (only a tad - but enough to cause brain annoyance!) which I'm putting down to the power output of the amplifier as I had a similar issue with my high output tube amp. I preferred the sound signature of the DT1770's plugged straight into my iPad but it didn't go loud enough on some recordings and lacked some body (Brilliant for modern well mastered tracks so if that's your bag - you don't need an amp!). I've since switched to the Oppo HA-2 which has a good clean neutral sound and with its low gain switch the bass is once again perfect and no loss of any resolution whatsoever. Killer combo. Keeper for Defo (and no more updates!!). Update III --- 25/12/15 ---- Now paired with Beyerdynamic A20 Amplifier - Just Wow! Really opens these babies up! I thought they were great without an amp and even better when paired with my Fiio E12a but paired with the A20 these are sublime. Expensive but worth it (Someone burgled my house xmas eve and took my Sony MDR-Z7 but left my Beyers! Silver lining and all that!). Update II --- 23/11/15 --- After more research (and reading Dale Thorns review - who I usually agree with) I found out that these may not match well with tube amps so bought them again and paired them with my Fiio E12A and these are like a different headphone. Maybe my original pair had a slight driver mismatch but the boomy bass and slightly distant mids along with a slightly higher volume in the left ear have all been rectified with this pair! I've been amazed that these have such powerful deep bass when its present on a recording but when the track doesn't have any bass these stay faithful to the original recording and don't add any extra colouring. Truly amazing and not something I have heard on any other headphone. So glad I tried them again! Although the DT150's are still amazing value for money I think I will be keeping the DT1770's and retiring my tube amp. Update --- 6/11/15 ---- Now sold! After Extensive A/B testing against my £96 Beyer DT150 250 ohm through my Littledot II MKII tube amp I've come to the conclusion that there isn't enough difference to justify the extra £350. I've EQ'd the mid bass down a few Db and this has brought the tanklike DT150's to life. I was amazed at the difference it made. Plus the Mids are more present on the DT150's which is a shame as I wanted to love the 1770's but they just didn't do it for me to justify keeping them. Original review --- Having lived with the DT770 250 ohm for years I was on the fence about these given the higher price but I finally bit the bullet and they certainly are exquisite. Build quality is always top notch with Beyer but these have an added layer of luxury to the usual utilitarian materials and styling. Hifiguy 528 (Hifi insider) Mike on YouTube had it right when he said the DT770's feel like a toy next to these! Check his unboxing for a peek at all the bits n bobs and the materials etc. I usually love neutral headphones with a bit of oomph (Oppo PM3 are the stand out ones for me) but I've always loved the bass on my DT770's as it just thunders through my bones with an amp. What I've never loved is the extremely bright treble. Sure it's great for detail but the Oppo PM3 showed me you could still have the treble detail without the sibilant peaks that the DT770/880/990 line is infamous for. I always found myself EQ'ing the Mids up slightly on the 770's with their V-shaped sound signature. And basically the DT1770 addresses all these issues for me. You get all the Bass loveliness of the 770's but with a more present midrange and a perfect treble (to my ears). I've seen some reviewers say that even the 1770 has a peaky treble but I don't see how that can be the case! It's just right and very welcome! The bass also has more texture on the 1770's (something I had never heard before! Bass texture!? But yep you can get a real sense of it with these). But are they worth the price hike? Well as always it's subjective but if for whatever reason you're like me and can't use open backs then these I reckon are as close as you can get to a high end open back sound in closed back form and still keep the price below £500! The sound stage is certainly very 'open' for a closed back can and certainly not as congested as the Oppo PM3's. What's more these being Tesla drivers they are extremely efficient and run to substantial listening levels straight out of my IPhone 5s despite them being 250 ohm (a hell of a lot louder than my 770 250 ohm anyway! Weird!). I've now got them running through my LittkeDot II MKII Tube amp and they sound great. Hope some of this helps. Stew
