beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X truly lives up to being an exceptional headphone.

This precision contributes to the overall clarity that these headphones offer, making for a very enjoyable listening experience.

Whether you're looking for headphones for silent practice or simply for music listening, the DT 770 PRO X excels. The closed-back design provides excellent passive noise cancellation, effectively isolating you from distractions and allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your audio.

I listen to music 8-16 hours everyday as its kinda my job so...

I wanted some good headphones, which could be both end-tier and at an affordable level. I added a little DAC to these and connected them to my PC. Music is amazing, and I just cant explain it, I had previously a 100$ Headphones with Bluetooth and pretty good, but this was a revolution. Also its perfect for long usage. Sound quality is amazing. I can listen to all kinds of music, from Deep Base to Super trippy Psychedelic music with 40 instruments going at the same time and if I close my eyes, I can listen to each of them. Of course, music needs to be good otherwise we are talking having a rocket-ship without engine.

The only cons I found out, is that no matter what I did, after a 2-3 hour session I need to change a little the placement in my head as it starts to get heavy, which didn't happen with the other cheaper headphones. Probably because these are heavier and that in PC session, slowly , even though the cable may not be very heavy, it can create tension.

Anyway, its easy to change the matte above and pick something more comfortable, but I don't think I will need as its advisable that max 1 hour the person needs to stand up and move around after staying on the chair for 1 hour straight, so maybe this isn't very much a Beyerdynamic problem but mine as I overstay on my line of duty & everything gets inertia after not moving for 2+ hours.

After adjusting my audio interface (no fault of headphones), these sound leagues ahead of anything else ive listened to. im sure if you spend double this you will find a better pair of headphones but at this price point these shine and even at higher price points beat the competition. They are apparently slightly draining at times for some however due to the high end, although I myself have never felt this.

Did take some getting used to, don't expect them to be overly bassy, although they do definitely have a strong low end, perhaps not enough for some causal listeners.

But where they really shined is when I opened my DAW.
Upon some listening I could suddenly hear tonnes of tiny issues in my music that could be fixed. Using them feels like the audio equivalent to putting on glasses for the first time. Even in music I listen to I feel like I can hear new parts.

I have had some issues of my outer ears hitting part of the layer between the driver and my ear, however this is easily remedied by ensuring theres a hair layer between the two, and either way this is a minor concern.

The build quality is good and I appreciate the fact every part of it can be individually replaced, rather than the whole unit, also adding a layer of customisability and modding that may excite some.

ps. transients are BEAUTIFUL on these! Listen to some well recorded guitar and some snares and hi hats!
