They deliver a well-balanced audio reproduction with an outstanding mid-range and a great bass that doesn't drown out instruments and vocals. Even though this model doesn’t have weird dips or peaks in one of the channels, the stereo image is still a bit skewed – differences are throughout the whole frequency spectrum. Generally, higher-impedance headphones require more output from the connected device to produce audio at listenable volumes. However, if you’re looking for commuting headphones: you’ll probably be better served by wireless or noise-canceling headphones. They can also block out more background noise, which you may prefer if you listen to audio in a moderately noisy environment.

The wide stereo image and strong bass response makes the DT 770 PRO a reliable reference point in the studio and a trusted companion for producers and audio engineers. On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic are closed-back headphones with fantastic bass accuracy, so your music has more thump and rumble, which some may prefer. I have a set of decades-old AKG K240s, given to me by vintage audio guru Gordon Sauck of Innovative Audio, that to this day sound really good. The soft, over-ear pads get you close to the audio drivers without sacrificing any of the relaxing fit.The DT 770 PRO is a closed dynamic headphone which has been designed for critical music and sound monitoring.

The Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017 are better headphones for gaming than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. Another quality that I've always appreciated in Beyerdynamic headphones is their soundstage presentation, and that remains true for the DT770 Pro in spite of the fact that it's a closed-back headphone. On the upside, they're noticeably more durable than the Audio-Technica, thanks to their full-metal frame and large ear cups.Recording on quality headphones like these means that you can hear every part of the song, ensuring you'll nail your part every single time. These closed-back DT 1770 PRO headphones have been designed for referencing in mixing, mastering, monitoring and recording environments. While they're sturdily built, their poor noise isolation performance means you can hear external sounds like bus engines and other commuter noises. It also has the added benefit of not trapping in heat as badly as the aforementioned alternative does. If you’re not going to use this at home, you may want to use some zip-ties or something to rein in that cable, because it’s three meters long—not ideal for mobile use.
