Our Verdict

Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO

Focal Azurys

The Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO and Focal Azurys are aimed at discerning listeners, but your pick depends on your main use. The Beyerdynamic are made for studio use with a bit more of a rough and tumble design, lacking the visual panache of the Focal. Their tuning trends are bright with a flatter bass, and depending on the variant, may need an amp. In contrast, the Focal are more upscale in looks, deliver a warmer top-end, and don't need an amp.
