Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO vs Sennheiser HD 480 PRO

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are well-established closed-back over-ears that are a fixture in studios. That said, the Sennheiser HD 480 PRO have some clear advantages that can justify their slightly higher price and make them a better choice for studio applications. The Sennheiser are more comfortable, have better passive isolation, and their sound profile is better aligned with our house target. Their gentler treble response is well-suited to long listening sessions, whereas the Beyerdynamic feature a peak in the low-treble that can be fatiguing in the long term. That said, the Beyerdynamic are better-built and deliver audio more consistently, plus they come in at a much more competitive price point.
