Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro review

The DT 770 Pro is the closed-back model in Beyerdynamic's classic DT 770, 880 and 990 Pro range, and it remains the most practical all-rounder for a home studio. Closed cups matter when you record: they keep the backing track and click from bleeding into a sensitive condenser mic. Beyerdynamic sells three impedance versions. The 32 ohm model suits phones and laptops, the 80 ohm model is pitched for universal studio use, and the 250 ohm model is meant for professional interfaces and headphone amps, all at $199.99 in its North American store. The listed response runs from 5 to 35,000 Hz, and the ear pads and headband padding can be replaced when they wear out. The tradeoffs are a fixed straight cable and a firm clamp that Beyerdynamic itself describes as a fit for professional use. If you mix more than you record, the open DT 990 Pro or a detachable-cable model may suit you better. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test it.
