Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Headphones Review

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are better over-ear studio headphones than the AKG K371. The Beyerdynamic have a more stable fit and feel more durable. While they both have very well-balanced sound profiles, the AKG are slightly more accurate, but their fit is more prone to inconsistencies among users. On the upside, the AKG leak considerably less audio.

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO are slightly better critical listening headphones than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO thanks to their open-back design. Both headphones are similarly built and are comfortable. They are practically the same headphones, but the 990 are open and the 770 are closed-backs.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are slightly better than the Audio-Technica ATH-M40x. The Beyerdynamic have a slightly more accurate overall sound signature, but some people feel like they are slightly too sharp and piercing. On the upside, they're noticeably more durable than the Audio-Technica thanks to their full-metal frame and large ear cups. If your budget allows it, go for the Beyerdynamic, unless you’re sensitive to higher frequencies.

The Sennheiser HD 599 and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are both impressive audiophile headphones, and you may prefer either. The Sennheiser are open-back, so they deliver less bass, but have an otherwise very balanced, clear sound and open soundstage. The Beyerdynamic are closed-back, so their sound profile can differ a bit more from person to person, but they generally get a lot more bass, but can also sound a bit sharp.

Both the Sennheiser HD 650 and Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are good critical listening headphones, but the Sennheisers are open-back, which could make them sound more open-sounding. The Sennheiser are also a bit more comfortable, but they don’t have the nice and sturdy build of the Beyerdynamic. Additionally, the Beyerdynamic have a better sound profile, notably because of their closed-back design, which helps with a fuller-sounding bass. Their closed design also means they block more ambient noise and leak less than the Sennheiser.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are better neutral listening headphones than the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro 2016. The Beyerdynamic have an overall more accurate sound profile, although some people find them to be a bit overly sharp. They're also tremendously more comfortable than the Sennheiser and their build quality is noticeably superior as well. On the other hand, the Sennheiser are less leaky, but that's about it.

The Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO are better-built headphones than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 model thanks to their detachable cable, but overall, for the price difference, the DT 770 offer better value. Both sound signatures of these headphones are very similar, and their design is basically the same. You do get a big hard case and an extra straight detachable cable with the DT 1770, but that’s about it.

The Sennheiser HD 600 and the Beyderdynamic DT 770 PRO are both great options if you're looking for headphones for neutral sound, and you may prefer either. The Sennheiser have an open-back design. Their passive soundstage is much more open and spacious-seeming and they have more consistent bass and treble delivery, but their sound lacks a bit of low-bass. On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic are closed-back headphones with much better bass accuracy. They have a much more comfortable fit, isolate you from more ambient sound, and leak less audio. 

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and the Philips Fidelio X2HR are audiophile headphones with different strengths. The Beyerdynamic are better-built headphones with a closed-back design. They do a better job of reproducing the thump and rumble of low bass. They also leak less audio and passively isolate you from more sound, although they still aren't ideal for noisy environments. On the other hand, the Philips are open-back headphones with a much better passive soundstage performance. They're also much more comfortable.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are very different pairs of headphones. The HyperX are gaming headphones while the Beyerdynamic are headphones designed for critical listening. Therefore, the HyperX are a better choice if you want a microphone, and they're also more comfortable and feel more durable as well. On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic have a better-balanced sound profile, though not by much. 

The Beyerdynamic DT 880 and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are similarly-performing headphones for critical listening. The DT 880's semi-open design helps to create a slightly more open soundstage. They're also a bit more comfortable and have a more consistent frequency response. However, the DT 770 PRO have a more even sound profile overall, provided you achieve a good fit, and they leak less sound.

The Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO are marginally better neutral sound listening headphones than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO thanks to their open-back design that allows them to create a much better soundstage. That being said, the closed-back design of the 770 PRO means they block more sound and leak less audio, though they still are sub-par in both these regards. The 770 PRO also have a slightly more accurate sound profile, especially in the bass range. Other than that, both headphones are comfortable and feel very well-built.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are better headphones for neutral sound than the Beyerdynamic DT 900 PRO X. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the 770 PRO are closed-back headphones with a more neutral and well-balanced bass and mid-range. They can also block out more background noise, which you may prefer if you're listening to audio in a moderately noisy environment. However, the 900 PRO X are open-back headphones that create a more spacious and open passive soundstage.

The Philips SHP9500 are marginally better headphones for neutral sound than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. The Philips are open-back headphones with a much better passive soundstage performance. They're also much more comfortable and breathable. On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic have better build quality, a much more stable fit, and have a more neutral bass response. They also isolate you from more ambient noise and leak less audio, thanks to their closed-back design.

The HiFiMan Sundara 2020 are better for neutral sound than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. The HiFiMan have an open-back design. They're more comfortable, deliver sound much more consistently, and have a much more open, spacious soundstage. 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. They're also more breathable and have a better build quality.

The Sennheiser HD 820 are a slightly better closed-back critical listening headphone than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO, but not by much especially considering the price difference between the two headphones. The Sennheiser have a much better and more premium build quality.  They also have more spacious and well-padded earcups that are breathable enough to wear for much longer than the Beyerdynamics. They come with more high-end cables and accessories and do not sound as sharp on vocals and instrumentals as the Beyerdynamics. On the other hand, the Beyerdynamics offer a better value for their price with a more consistent bass reproduction and a fairly even and neutral mid-range. They're also decently well built and comfortable enough for most, although they can be a little tight on the head for some.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are better closed-back headphones for neutral sound than the Focal Celestee. The Beyerdynamic have a more neutral default sound profile, a significantly better passive soundstage performance, and are somewhat less prone to inconsistencies in their audio delivery. However, the Focal have a significantly better build quality that reflects their high-end materials, and they're more comfortable.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are slightly better closed-back critical listening headphones than the Sennheiser HD 598 Cs. Their sound profile is slightly better, but they may sound overly sharp for some people. The Beyerdynamic are very well-built headphones and feel more durable than the Sennheiser. Both headphones are fairly comfortable, but the cups of the Sennheiser are more spacious. The Sennheiser also have an in-line microphone for calls, which can be useful if you want to take calls on the go.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are better over-ears for neutral sound than the RØDE NTH-100M. The Beyerdynamic are better-built, deliver audio more consistently across different re-seats, have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their passive soundstage is more immersive. They also block out more ambient noise passively. However, the RØDE have a detachable audio cable and the '100M' model comes with a detachable mic if you want to use them for gaming.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are better audiophile headphones than the 7HZ Timeless. If you prefer over-ears, the Beyerdynamic have a more comfortable fit, a better build quality, and a more neutral sound profile. Their passive soundstage also feels more out-of-head and wide. However, the 7HZ are wired in-ears that are more stable and have significantly more consistent audio delivery. They also leak less audio at high volumes.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and the Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017 are designed for different purposes but are both fairly versatile. The Beyerdynamic are simple studio headphones designed for critical listening, while the Astro A40 provide a customizable gaming experience. However, the Beyerdynamic can be a viable option for gamers who don't need a mic, while the Astro are also a decent choice for mixing podcasts or live streams. The biggest difference is in their sound profiles - the Beyerdynamic sound quite bright, even piercing to some, while the Astro sound less sharp, but are also a bit dark. The Astro have lots of customization options, though, so you can more easily tweak their sound profile to better suit your tastes.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and the Beats Solo Pro Wireless have different strengths, and you may prefer one over the other. The Beyerdynamic are over-ears designed with audiophiles in mind. They're more comfortable and have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer. Their passive soundstage is also larger, more natural-sounding, and immersive. In comparison, the Beats are more versatile and better suited for casual use. The Beats are wireless on-ears with an integrated mic so that you can take calls on the go and an active noise cancelling system to help block out background noise.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO and the TOZO T6 Truly Wireless are very different headphones. The Beyerdynamic are wired headphones designed for critical listening in the studio, while the TOZO are truly wireless earbuds for casual everyday use. The TOZO support Bluetooth for wireless freedom on-the-go, but have too much latency for studio use.

For gaming, the Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017 are better headphones than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. The Astro aren't as tight as the Beyerdynamic and have a more accurate audio reproduction. Also, while the Astro are wireless, the latency is negligible, although not nonexistent like the wired Beyerdynamic. The Astro also have a microphone, which the Beyerdynamic lack. If you have a stand-alone mic or you don't need one, the Beyerdynamic is a good sounding wired option.
