Info on: Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro Open Back Studio Headphones

The DT 990 PRO is an open dynamic headphone of exceptional quality suitable for the most demanding professional and audiophile applications. The reduced weight of the diaphragm and moving coil result in a similar pulse characteristic as electrostatic headphones, and in combination with a carefully tailored frequency response offer a natural and balanced sound.

Soft earpads and adjustable, sliding, earpieces together with a very flexible coiled cable ensure listening comfort during extended periods of use

Info on:Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro Closed Back Studio Headphones

The DT 770 PRO is a closed dynamic headphone of exceptional quality suitable for the most demanding professional and audiophile applications. The long term comfort and accurate performance make the DT 770 PRO the perfect monitoring headphone for recording studios, post-production or broadcasting situations. The low mass coil and diaphragm assembly produce a transient performance equalled only by electrostatic earphones, and, in combination with a carefully tailored frequency response offer a natural and balanced sound.

Soft earpads and adjustable, sliding, earpieces together with a single-sided connecting cable ensure listening comfort during extended periods of use. The DT 770 PRO features 32, 80 or 250 ohm drivers and a gold plated 3.5 mm stereo jack with 1/4" inch adapter, and is, therefore, suitable for use with almost all headphone amplifiers

  The DT 770 Pro are absolutely terrible other than the really solid build. The midrange sounds odd and tje treble is just an abomination. I'd wait for financial year sale and pick up some k371s instead.

  • 

    jasswolf on 02/06/2022 - 00:35

    Yup, and with the average price, there's nothing special about this compared to most Beyer deals, particularly in recent memory. Also OP, you've tagged the wrong DT 770 variant.

    Some other closed back options in this price range: 1More Triple Driver Over-Ear (Amazon, maybe wait for sub-$170 sale), Shure SRH-840 or SRH-840A (Amazon)
    Open backs: AKG K612 Pro (Amazon, wait for UK stock), HIFIMAN HE400SE (Amazon), Sennheiser HD 560S

    Or if you want to go for a singular headphone for roughly the same total outlay:

    Closed - Audeze Penrose
    Open - Drop x Sennheiser HD6XX

    Or for slightly more there's headphones like the HIFIMAN Edition XS, and Mr Anan's Nan-6.

    All of these headphones - with respect to being compared against a closed/open counterpart, beat these for detail, resolution, tonal balance (note that not all are neutral), though imaging is a little inferior on the HE400SE and the 560S compared to the DT 990s.

    The 6XX stands apart from the rest in that its imaging and soundstage aren't up to par without something approach a class A solid state amp (or a tube amp), but it's such a great headphone that if you're a music/movie lover or casual gamer, you just want it in your kit.

    • 

      zjz93 on 02/06/2022 - 00:49

      Imaging in my opinion on 6xx are pretty terrible though. So if people intend to play competitive games might want to look elsewhere.

      • 

        jasswolf on 02/06/2022 - 00:51

        Yeah quickly realised I'd left out that info and threw an edit in!

        6XX out of an Asgard really takes it up a notch, with imaging and staging being good enough for everything up to competitive gaming. Most people would be very happy with a home theatre setup that could produce what that combo can do for an Atmos audio track.

      None of those are anywhere near the price that’s provided here. Waiting for a deal isnt the same as there is a better deal. Those sub 200+ and even 300+, sub 170 for them have never been posted.

      • 

        jasswolf on 02/06/2022 - 14:10

        I'm sorry… what? As of the time of the post, the AKG K612 & the Sennheiser HD 560S were at $230ish on Amazon, and the 1More were at $219, the three being the most expensive of what I listed, and I wrote 'wait for a sale'. The 1More stock has since disappeared.

        With respect to the options around $360, the 6XX was less, the Penrose is $399. All the options I've listed are way higher in value for money than the DT 770 or DT990 for $180, a price that has happened again and again for years.

        It's ridiculous how over-valued Beyers are for general listening purposes. Without the endless circle jerk that can occur on youtube and blogs, they would be sold for $120-$130. The most basic A/B comparison would reveal this.

    I was under the belief that the 770's were one of the best headphones that are closed back at it's price point

    • 

      onlinepred on 02/06/2022 - 08:29

      One of the best for more of a neutral sound. Not everyone likes neutral.

        This can't be more wrong lol. The 770 pro are bright and bassy.

      You may be referring to the DT770 Pro 250 ohms version. Not like the DT770 Pro 80 ohms version from this bundle.

      Would not audiophiles go with the 250 ohms version if you have an adequate amp for it?. It would sound way clearer. At least the DT990 Pro from the bundle is a 250 ohms headset.

      But then again the DT770 Pro 250 ohms by itself will set you back $229 so it's not cheap. But then again it would be one of the best closed back headphones.

      https://www.mwave.com.au/product/beyerdynamic-dt-770-pro-250…

      I actually own the DT770 Pro 250 ohms headphones and it's quite good. I also own the DT990 Pro 250 ohms. Both are great and sound slightly different. 250 ohms headphones are on a whole different level compared to 80 ohms headphones.

        rictee on 02/06/2022 - 11:37

        Would the 32 ohms version be significantly worse then?

        • 

          jasswolf on 02/06/2022 - 14:33

          @rictee: There's a few factors involved, but the neither of these headphones has a particularly varied impedance curve, meaning they don't throw up trouble for most amps that can supply the required voltage.

          Each subsequent step in impedance just offers slightly more control in the bass and treble, but none of these headphones are competitive in 2022, unless your sole interests are pad comfort and consistency of fitment.

          @rictee: I have the 250 and 80 ohm versions, can't say there's an obvious difference. Apparently the 32 ohm versions are noticably different, but I've never tried them.

          • 

            hollykryten on 03/06/2022 - 09:42

            @sponson: I wonder if you need a better amp then.

            • 

              sponson on 03/06/2022 - 11:42

              @hollykryten: I think both 250 and 80 ohm versions need a decent device to drive them. Not neccesarily a seperate amp, just a capable device (which I have). I mean, I haven't A/B tested them but to me they both "sound like DT770s" if that make sense.

      • 

        jasswolf on 02/06/2022 - 14:22

        Still no.

      Unfortunately you're living in 2017… as demand for headphones started rise with ANC, we're seeing a leap forward in what's available and affordable. The people who used to recommend you the M40X, the DT 770, and the M50X would now be recommending you the K361, the K371, and the the SRH-840A.

      Yup. Industry standard in recording studios and professional environments worldwide for the last 35 years… and they still hold up to the latest and greatest.

      I mean, for those cork-sniffers out there who wire up their devices with "interconnects" rather than just cables, yeah by all means go get yourself some Hifimans or Audeze other exotic things and pontificate about IEF targets and "burning in" your solid state devices.

      But for everyone else, the DT770s are hard to beat.

    absolutely terrible

    Must be why they review consistently highly and have done so for several decades.

    You don't have to like them - if their sound profile and fit is not your preference, that's totally fine. But it's hard to objectively call them terrible headphones.

    • 

      zjz93 on 03/06/2022 - 01:35

      Take a look at this and tell me how this is acceptable

      The bass is bloated, mids are so oddly recessed, and the treble is just so ear piercing. Listening to a track with even a tiny bit of sibilance becomes painful.

      I guess if you have hearing loss, you might enjoy these.

      There is one reason and one reason only to buy these and it is because they are built like tanks. I can see them lasting for over 5 years of heavy use.

        You're reading a chart and referencing it against a particular benchmark that one guy on the internet came up with, based on his personal preferences.

        If your personal preference happens to match his, then that's fine. But just because a set of headphones are close to this response, doesn't mean they're good neccesarily. Conversely, not matching this response curve does not neccesarily mean those headphones are bad.

        Crinacle says this himself, it's the number 1 point on the page "A Frequency Response graph is not in any way an indication of good sound quality. Think of it as flavours, like in ice-cream. The FR is like the branding at the side of the tub telling you the flavour of the ice cream. It’s not going to tell you if it’s good ice cream, but at least you have a way of finding out if it’s the flavour you want."

        Again, personal preferences differ. If that's what you're after, that's fine.

        As well as personal preferences, people's ears differ. You may have an enhanced perception of higher frequences, so I can understand why you'd look for headphones with a particular response.

        Look at the chart again, but with the Harman curve as your reference. That's pretty much an average of people's preferences, devised by actual audio engineers, rather than the preference of one guy on the internet. Most people (under the age of 45) prefer a response like this. You don't have to take my word for it, you can look at rtings review of the DT770 here and their explanation on response curves here

        The build quality is certainly a drawcard. One pair I've had for 20 years, and all I've done is replace the pads a few times. They're also insanely popular because they have a great sound (for most people), great isolation, and are very comfortable.

        Last time I had my hearing tested I was told I have the hearing of a teenager.

        Again, not stopping you from having a personal preference, but you cannot objectively call them bad.

  What is with these guys commenting thinking this is a debate and review forum? It is a forum to find sales and better prices than standard?
  No one gives a shit if you don't like them or think there is better headphones, this isn't reddit. And especially this type of product.. People will generally look at reviews and those exact competing headphones before even coming here.to look, you must be so frigging bored
