" ... But I can totally ignore that because the sound is incredible. ... Paired with my Mackie Pro mixer, this was an incredible audio experience. ... "
" ... Much better than the BOse and others in the catagory ... "
" ... I have used several headphones and these by far have been the most clear sounding set I have had. ... "
" ... If no amplifier is used, the bass is almost non existent, the volume is very quiet, and the sound is muddied together. ... These headphones are the closest to hearing the true source audio with no distortion or equalization I have had the pleasure of owning and using on a daily basis. ... "
" ... I am not one of these audiophiles who will talk for an hour about sound quality, but I listen to a lot of music - it is an important part of my life, and these headphones sound obviously better to my ears than any others I have owned, including Bose, Bowers and Wilkins, and Beats. ... Maybe the higher ohms have clearer sound that some will notice, but I am skeptical, and I like being able to use this with a pocket device. ... "
" ... I believe the bayerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 ohm + FiiO A1 is the ideal combo for anyone looking to upgrade their listening experience for less than $200. ... "
" ... Great sounding headphones if properly powered. ... Prefer these over the Bose QC35 just due to the sound quality. ... Overall, the close back headphones are well isolated. ... "
" ... Amazing audio quality! ... "

" ... The velour pads stay comfortable for hours and don't get hot. ... "
" ... Finally found a decent quality pair of headphones that are comfortable while wearing glasses! ... They clamp well on my head with plenty of room to spare and don't pinch the tops of my ears. ... "
" ... Ever since my work office decided on an "open concept" I've been searching for a great set of super comfortable closed back cans for all day listening. ... As a guy with thin glasses I can say that the padding's comfort is the best I've had, and the soft, slightly fuzzy gray pads are so luxurious, keeping my ears a little warm, but not anywhere close to sweaty like many others will do (especially the vinyl pads most cans use). ... The padded top and secure fit work really well to provide all-day comfort, and the cord itself, while heavy, isn't really a big problem. ... at a desk, I'm usually able to keep it sitting on my lap or desk without causing discomfort from weight. ... "
" ... The best headphones I've owned! ... The velvet ear cuffs are soft and comfortable. ... Very good quality construction although the ear cuffs are kind of made out of cheap plastic. ... "
" ... They are comfortable and a must have. ... "
" ... Very nice headphones and super comfortable. ... "
" ... Features comfortable headband and ear cups are big and soft enough for so you don't have to replace them. ... "
" ... I stretched them out using the box it came in for a few hours and it gets better with use. ... "

" ... I enjoy listening to music with these headphones. ... DT 770 Pro headphones are very comfy. ... "
" ... I've been very impressed with the quality of these headphones. ... "
" ... This review is for the 250 Ohm version of the headphones. ... I do wish that they were as comfortable as Sennheiser headphones. ... "
" ... best headphones i have ever used ... "
" ... I use these for gaming, and probably should have gotten "open back" headphones. ... "
" ... Best Headphones you will ever buy. ... "
" ... Best headphones I've ever owned. ... "
" ... There is a good reason these headphones have been around for a while, although I honestly don't know why these aren't more common in studios than the Sony 7506's or some of the other commonly seen headphone models . ... (I'll also note, my 2nd choice for studio headphones after these -- the ATH-M40x . ... "

" ... Was debating between these and the 250 ohm ones but these are perfect if you like to really hear the fabulous quality bass in the music you listen to and the sound is not muffled at all, very clear. ... "
" ... The layered bass of this track highlights the DT 770's strength, which is its incredible bass range. ... Everyone goes on and on about the bass, and for good reason -- it's incredible. ... "
" ... The biggest difference I noticed right away was more pronounced and impactful bass with these vs the M50X, and the highs and mids were very similar. ... "
" ... The sub-bass is good - super tight and punchy if you drive these with an amp. ... "
" ... It's well balanced but I thought bass was tad too much even after burning it for recommended 72 hours. ... "
" ... Sound signature is "flat" so you are hearing what the music producers wanted you to hear from an EQ balance perspective. ... And the bass frequency response goes lower than most headphones which is quite impressive . ... you can hear and feel the low bass which is satisfying, but you still want "just a little bit more" because it's so good. ... "
" ... Definition on bass guitar licks sounds like I'm sitting in the room, you can here the bassists pluck the strings. ... "
" ... The bass is possibly a little recessed for some, but in a world of bass-boosted everything, it's nice to find a pair of headphones that break the mold. ... "

" ... They work and sound very nice also, however the cups/cans are made of a leather/pleather *soft* material. ... So all pleather/leather materials stick to my big dome. ... Quality is good, the y bracket that connects the cans to the head strap is metal. ... It has a heavy duty rubberized cord. ... "
" ... Build quality is also exceptional and you are going to get what you paid for. ... "
" ... Built like tank. ... Leather pads might be too warm for some people. ... However, this is something you may want to consider if you prefer plush style earcups. ... "
" ... These things rock! ... "
" ... The padded top and secure fit work really well to provide all-day comfort, and the cord itself, while heavy, isn't really a big problem. ... "
" ... Despite being so light, they feel very strong. ... Absolutely no creaky plastic, very well built. ... "
" ... Very Durable as well. ... "
" ... On the heavy side but padding is very comfortable and I can wear these for hours at a time. ... "

" ... My biggest gripe is that the cable is too long and not interchangeable. ... I braided the cable so it's more manageable for use on the road. ... I wished it had a shorter cable and/or removable/interchangeable cable. ... "
" ... Cord started flaking out and eventually detached from the left earpiece. ... "
" ... Cons: Cable is built-in, and not very flexible. ... The biggest annoyance for me was the cable: The length was fine but it does not detach from the headphones, and it is not rubbery but rather "plastic-y" so not as flexible as I would prefer. ... If Beyerdynamic made this with a removable cord . ... "
" ... but my strong dislike of this product is the "Coiled Cord" . ... The heavy coiled cord on the right side of this product can always be felt and its annoying. ... How about inserting a photo to show the entire product, as the cord appears to be straight in the amazon photo . ... "
" ... The cable is heavy and non-detachable and that is my only major complaint so far. ... I also plan to shorten the cable into a short stub (like the Superlux 668) at some point ... for now i'm living with that fat coiled cord. ... "
" ... The only thing that can be a little annoying is the heavy cord. ... "
" ... However since their release, there have been a number of quality of life changes with headphones, chiefly disconnecting from both ends of sound wire. ... I don't think I am rough with these headphones, they aren't scuffed or broken anywhere else, but the wire shielding has tugged off/out of the base twice, until I electrical tapped it to the cup. ... "
" ... Poor headphone, 8 months broke the cable ... "
Frequencies

" ... You will probably need to tinker around with EQ settings. ... "
" ... The 250 ohm version does have some very bright highs, and subdued lows compared to the 80 ohm, but the lows are much much more precise and punchier than the 80 ohms. ... "
" ... Every musical element is clearly delineated and absolutely nothing is muddy or fuzzy. ... Try this EQ setting and you will not be disappointed. ... "
" ... - V shaped sound signature - really pronounced/lifted treble legitimately made my head hurt. ... If only there was something EXACTLY the same as this, but neutral (or pronounced bass and/or mids). ... EDIT: Ended up trying the 80 ohm version (reportedly less treble and more bass) and I'm very happy with them. ... "
" ... Crystal clear highs, astonishing on chorus, deep and real natural bass. ... "
" ... Vocals cut right through a truly flat mix to allow one to relax their vibrato and let their voice shine w/o pushing it. ... "
" ... * Highs are crips, mids are perfect, and great bass ... "
" ... The biggest difference I noticed right away was more pronounced and impactful bass with these vs the M50X, and the highs and mids were very similar. ... "

" ... A really great set of phones especially for the price. ... "
" ... For this price, I wouldn't be able to find something better, I guess. ... "
" ... We did a great deal of research and it paid off. ... "
" ... Highly recommend if you're looking for great bang for your buck. ... "
" ... Seriously, this is so much headphone for the money. ... "
" ... They beat the hell out of anything else at the $150 price point. ... "
" ... Overall a solid pair of headphones for the price. ... "
" ... They are easily worth what I paid for them. ... "

" ... I have them plugged into my PS4 controller and they work well. ... "
" ... He's had it for over a year and says they're great for FPS games, movies, and music. ... "
" ... Making electronic music and even playing games with it is amazing. ... Forget the $80 top "gaming sound" headsets - this or Audia-tech make all the difference. ... "
" ... For example, in video games, sounds that I heard on my other studio headphones are way different on these DT 770's 250Ohms. ... "
" ... I use them with my gaming PC and and the sound of explosions and footstep noise is just perfect and has that sense of OOMPH, if that makes sense. ... I use these headphones to play a number of games ranging from Battlefield 1 and The Elder Scrolls Online. ... "
" ... Positional sound quality in competitive FPS games is superb as it allowed me to hear player's footsteps from long distances. ... "
Noise Cancellation

" ... This is very good for noise isolation though fyi. ... "
" ... The Beyer DT 770 are among the most tightly sealed headphones of the closed back type and work great to passively reduce outside noise They also have large earpads which fit tightly and comfortably over the ears. ... "
" ... On my QC 25's, the sound is much more isolated considering they are Noise Cancelling headphones which really brings out the sounds. ... "
" ... I would say i do have to pushe them a little harder but they cancel noise very well and the sound is fantastic! ... "
" ... Not noise cancelling at all but do provide a good seal. ... "
" ... Great noise isolation. ... "
" ... Extremely comfortable, block a lot of outside noise, and sound geat ... "
" ... Not really useful for blocking out ambient noise, but they do help a little in that regard. ... "

" ... The clamp is incredible but squeezes your head a bit too hard due to the amazing construction. ... The ear cups are plastic but it again feels sturdy and durable. ... "
" ... The padded top and secure fit work really well to provide all-day comfort, and the cord itself, while heavy, isn't really a big problem. ... "
" ... Very good quality construction although the ear cuffs are kind of made out of cheap plastic. ... "
" ... On the DT770’s you will find an all metal clamp mouted with screws on both sides (much more robust and will last longer). ... "
" ... Somehow these 770 fit my ears and a skull so I get the most control for my sound. ... "
" ... My head is rather big and I was initially worried that it might be a little too small but it fits it well. ... "
" ... It was a really easy process since the headband has snaps to easily take it on and off. ... "
" ... Fit and comfort are OK . ... "

" ... The 80ohm is perfect for protection without sacrificing volume. ... "
" ... I'll listen loud as I like and never bother anyone near me. ... "
" ... I found I did need an external amp to power these effectively (although these 80ohm cans still made it to decently loud volumes just through my iPhone 7+). ... I use the Fiio Alpen 2 e17k coming from my old iPhone 6 and they get ridiculously loud while still sounding extremely clear, uncolored, and spacious. ... "

" ... Find yourself a nice DAC and a lossless recording of your favorite song, it's just unbelievable. ... Binaural recordings are just magical through these. ... "
" ... I use these for my home recording studio. ... "
" ... So the moral of the story is that the artist you're listening to has recorded the music to sound a specific way and if you want more bass then mess with the EQ, but these are solid headphones none the less! ... "
