![]() There is a better DT770 version for portable use. Those two numbers mean they’re a bit marginal for use with most portable players (see Headphone Impedance). The rated impedance is 80 ohms and they have an “SPL” rating of 96 dB SPL. But they’ve also found a loyal following among some home listeners. THE BASICS: The DT 770 Pro 80s are surprisingly lightweight (about 9 ounces) full sized headphones intended mainly for studio use. The Beyers pretty much leave my ears alone. They have shallow ear pads and rest mostly against your ears rather than your head. A good example is the popular Sony MDR-V6 (MDR-7506). Anything resembling a full size headphone is often lumped into this category, but many still rest at least partly on the ears rather than over them. That’s a fancy way of saying they completely cover the ears. AKG used to be almost German (Austrian) but is now a Harman International USA brand.ĬIRCUM WHAT? The DT 770 is a true circumaural headphone. They’re not nearly as well known among consumers as Sennheiser but they still have a loyal following-especially among musicians and professionals. WHO’s BEYER? Beyerdynamic is the other popular German headphone company. And, in hindsight, that’s what I should have done here. But it’s more realistic to live with gear long enough for the “newness” to wear off. Motivation to write a long review comes easier when you’re enthusiastic having just listened to something new-hence all the reviews published soon after a product’s purchase. As happens with subjective reviews, it’s easy to let some aspects of a product (such as being really comfortable) bias or mask your subjective opinions of other aspects of the product. ![]() I’ve also incorporated feedback from others. REVIEW UPDATE 4/23: After living with the DT 770 Pros for another few weeks, and having a new “reference headphone” to compare them against, I’ve revised several of my comments in this review. They turned out to be an interesting example of how different sources can significantly change headphone sound. I happened to give the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 headphones a listen at a dealer and liked them enough to bring them home. NOT MY USUAL FARE (revised 4/23): Generally I’ve been sticking to reviewing electronics as it’s easier to provide objective measurements and directly compare performance. ![]()
