" ... Excellent sound quality and very comfortable wearing for long hours use. ... "
" ... very comfortable over long periods. ... "
" ... These are also the most comfy headphones I have had. ... "
" ... The bonus point being they're not disposable, but you can easily replace the velour when it wears out! ... "
" ... A pair of headphones with comfortable . ... very comfortable earcups! ... "
" ... This is the very first pair of studio headphones I have ever bought and having spent number of days on reading various reviews of this product and other products (Audio Technica m50x and Sony MDR-7506) I decided to buy DT 770 32 Ohm model, mainly due to the fact that they were meant to be (according to those reviews) one of the most comfortable studio headphones out there. ... As for the comfort, the headphones are a bit on the heavy side and on the tight side. ... Having said that my partner says that I have a big head so perhaps this is just my perception. ... Overall, I am giving them 4 out of 5 stars for comfort and 5 stars for quality of the sound they produce. ... "
" ... Very comfortable, no sound leakage, use at work as well as when playing/recording music ("closed" enough). ... "
" ... I must also say that these headphones are extremely comfy. ... The velour earpads also provide some warmth in addition to comfort, especially if listening to music on a cold Winter's day. ... "

" ... I use them for abit of everything from mix/mastering and gaming where headspace and direction of sound is useful. ... "
" ... I've been listening and playing music all my adult life and know quality sound when I hear it. ... The sound spectrum is wide with excellent high and low frequency response. ... The sound insulation is extremely good too, keeping both the sound you're listening to and external sound apart. ... "
" ... Some of the best sounding headphones around in that price bracket. ... "
" ... I have been through many sets of headphones in the past decade, either the sound died suddenly, I dropped the things and hurt them or even just ran over the wire with my chair. ... "
" ... I bought these after many recommendations from friends, and I am extremely impressed with both comfort and sound quality. ... They have a clean balanced sound, with every tiny detail of songs clearly distinguishable. ... "
" ... version and it is ridiculously quiet. ... "
" ... The sound is great but I expected a better build quality for this price. ... "
" ... They sound really amazing. ... "

" ... Good sound stage for closed headphones. ... "
" ... I've listened to Stax electrostatic headphones, 200+ thousand dollar stereo systems, the list goes on. ... These cans, even running off an iPhone jack, will do you right. ... "
" ... Overall comfort is impressive considering it is hard for a high-isolation headphone to be comfortable at the same time. ... SOUNDSTAGE - I agree with many of the other reviewers that this headphone has good soundstage for a closed-back headphone (this is the sense that the sound is sometimes coming from the room rather than only inside your head). ... Other headphones I have listened to (and comparison): ... Still, I highly recommend these DT 770 headphones! ... "
" ... Seriously 'closed' headphones . ... "
" ... These headphones sound just sooo good. ... But i will say these headphones are premium in every aspect. ... "
" ... A very good pair of headphones for music production. ... "
" ... Perfect headphone for monitoring. ... "
" ... Note, a headphone amp is needed to use these. ... I'm currently using the FiiO E10K Olympus USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier (also on Amazon). ... These headphones have recessed mids. ... "

" ... There are plenty of headphones and earphones that sound great but provide no bass or sub-bass but the DT 770 Pro's provide great bass that doesn't overpower the rest of the frequency spectrum. ... A bass boost function from an external source is certainly not required but when used when listen to bass heavy music like hip-hop or dance, the bass boost function enhances the listening experience for those genres. ... "
" ... They are comfier in every respect, better built, sound better (less harsh treble, deeper {but not louder} bass, and I predict will last longer too, because the Sony's have a design fault where the cable that links the two earcups gets trapped in the mechanism and ends up splitting. ... "
" ... Not quite as comfortable as open backed headphones, but strong well defined bass ( slightly boosted without being overblown) ... "
" ... And the double kick drumming of Krisiun metal is so clear yet deep bass, you can hear each separate kick of the pedal. ... "
" ... I used these headphones daily for two years, they are very comfortable and for a closed-back headphone, the sound stage is fantastic, bass response is full and the high/mids are very pleasant. ... "
" ... Being closed does mean these have slightly less openness in top end and less round bass end than the other Beyer studio headphones (DT990 pro), but not having headphone bleed on vocal recordings is a must and the sound only slightly suffers. ... In fact, for mixing these are pretty accurate, you know when you're overdoing it on the high and bass end. ... "
" ... Headphones themselves are of superior quality and produce beautiful crisp sound, with reverberating bass throughout the extremely-comfortable ear-cups. ... "
" ... Bass is good too, and with a good source, there's no reason why these wouldn't be a great reference as well as a good way to enjoy music. ... "

" ... A more durable carrying case would have been nicer but honestly can't fault these headphones. ... "
" ... Excellent build quality. ... "
" ... the pleather pads are soft with a memory foam under them. ... "
" ... For used pair, priced so low - Amazing experiance and build quality. ... "
" ... Built like a tank will last for a lifetime. ... they should make a pillow out of the materials of their earpads. ... "

" ... Studio monitors mean they have a long wire, useful for dedicated home use when traversing your room. ... "
" ... Sounds great through an amp and more than capable using them on a laptop or your phone (with the cable being slightly annoying but easy to solve for the latter two) ... "
" ... The amount of times I've dropped them or ran over the wire and they're still completely fine. ... "
" ... Comfortable to wear for long sessions, great dynamic range, long cable and adapter plug, these are great for home mastering and mixing. ... "
" ... I went for the 32 Ohm model since it comes with shorter cable and it is meant to be used with portable devices such as mobile phones. ... "
" ... now i can switch the length of my cable. ... "
" ... I also purchased a RODE XLR adaptor, allowing me to plug them into XLR studio inputs :) ... "
" ... Just give it the old twistaroo and you got a normal jack. ... "

" ... I found myself hovering over all the gaming headsets and thought 7.1 surround sound is just a load of hype. ... "
" ... All you will need for non-multiplayer immersive gaming. ... "
" ... Oh my god, I will never buy a gaming headset again - THESE ARE AMAZING. ... "
" ... I use this all the time for gaming and movies, you will really get immersed in it. ... "
" ... I use them predominantly with my PS4 either gaming - including VR and they just clear the headband - perhaps a little too close though I am worried that repeated use with vr might result in damage to my phones (i'll just buy another pair), or watching movies with my amp plugged in for extra crunch. ... "
" ... Used heavily for music use during travels and also a lot of gaming. ... "
" ... I've used many "gaming headphones" over the years. ... I mainly use these for gaming but also music when I want a richer sound experience. ... "
" ... I play a lot of games on both PC and Xbox One. ... For gaming I want to feel an explosion, these ensure you do. ... I didn't know games / music could sound this good. ... "

" ... Tried them with smart phones, laptop, and amplifiers - they all powered them but the sound quality was not as high as expected, even being aware that isolation phones with closed backs have their problems. ... "
" ... Does not require a DAC with modern devices but still worth getting one if you want the extra enhanced experience. ... "

" ... Paired with a decent headphone amp these are fantastic. ... "
" ... 32ohm is perfect match computer ... "

" ... They have a beautifully balanced sound, very flat but perhaps more analytical in the treble than my Sennheiser HD600s tend to be, with an incredibly well controlled and balanced low end for a closed back headphone. ... "
" ... Good bass separation and bright treble end. ... "
" ... They do not have unbalanced sound in the lows or highs, the balance is perfect. ... "
" ... These headphones have recessed mids. ... "
" ... The frequency response is great, and also the balance meaning things aren't muddy, but nice and clear. ... "
" ... Neutral and great balanced sound ... Highs, mids and lows are all well presented ... "
" ... For just listening to music I highly recommend using an EQ to compensate) ... "
" ... Highs are clear and crisp although sometimes a little too harsh for me, i dunno maybe it's just me or my music. ... "

" ... Connecting them to my home amplifier made me fall in love with them! ... "
" ... They fit so well they cancel noise out ... "
" ... Great sound, not perfect fit for the big eared, but pretty amazing overall ... "
" ... From looking at the product photo, I was worried the headphones would feel fragile, but they are actually much sturdier than I expected. ... "
" ... These headphones were £100 when I bought them, and damn do they perform much higher than this pricing bracket. ... "
" ... The build quality does seem good, the fit and pressure are fine and the sound quality is reasonable but for the main purpose of protecting your hearing they fall short of my expectations, especially as they're advertised as giving "Maximum isolation". ... "
" ... Fit and comfort is good, pads are stiff so don't make the best seal under the ears, my ears touch the driver covers slightly but it doesn't cause a problem. ... "
" ... If you want quality and comfort, these fit the bill at an excellent price. ... "

" ... GOOD FOR: anyone who wants a well built noise isolating headphone with high quality balanced and detailed sound. ... well built and very good isolation. ... "
" ... These got good reviews for passive noise cancelling, and for sound quality. ... "
" ... The noise isolation is amazing too, putting these on cancels out almost all outside noise letting you enjoy whatever you're listening to. ... "
" ... I find the sound quality to be excellent and the isolation is sufficient for what I need. ... "
" ... They are perfect for travelling, they are well isolated both from external noise and in terms of the amount of sound they leak out, not to mention they are as comfortable as any headphone I have worn. ... "
" ... The insulation of outside noises is really good. ... "

" ... I can certainly recommend these for home recording and enjoying music in general. ... "
" ... I have a home studio where I compose music using very high end sample libraries so I wanted some phones that would translate these recordings with good quality. ... "
" ... These are nice headphones, I bought them primarily for doing some recording and mixing and wanted a nice clean and mostly flat response headphone, got what I wanted, after listening to some recordings I know very well I could even hear a bit more detail. ... "
" ... Perfect for monitoring and recording. ... "
" ... Great for recording, and for listening to music in noisy environments. ... "

" ... You should expect anybody in the room to be able to listen to whatever you are listening quite clearly. ... "
" ... Powered by a Musical Fidelity headphone amp, they produce a good amount of volume at this impedance, and I'm sure they will last me a long time. ... "
" ... 16ohms runs great on my samsung s8 and really gets deafening loud. ... "
" ... They produce incredible sound driven even insanely loud. ... "
