Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X review

The DT 700 Pro X is Beyerdynamic's modern answer to the DT 770 Pro. Where the classic model is sold in three impedances, this one uses a single 48 ohm STELLAR.45 driver that Beyerdynamic says delivers studio sound from an audio interface, laptop, tablet or phone. Beyerdynamic describes the DT 770 Pro as a specialist for recording and monitoring and the DT 700 Pro X as a versatile all-rounder that is also suited to mixing, thanks to a neutral, punchy tuning. The cable detaches at a mini-XLR connector, so a damaged cable is a cheap fix, and Beyerdynamic sells other lengths. It lists a 5 to 40,000 Hz response, a spring steel headband with memory foam, and velour pads. Nearly all parts can be replaced, and it is handmade in Germany. The downsides are weight, at 350 g without the cable, and price: $319.99 is $120 more than the DT 770 Pro. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.
