Since 1924, beyerdynamic has made first-class professional audio products that focus on pristine sound. To celebrate this century of excellence, the all-new DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition studio headphone blends the features of their DT 770 PRO with the dynamic STELLAR.45 driver system. Headphones of the highest quality, they are handmade in Germany.
I compared these headphones to three well-known brands of German headphones. Price ranges were $99-$300 for the competing headphones. While all were very good to great sounding, the DT 770 PRO X LE became an instant “I need to add this to my setup.” The depth and imaging are superb. Detail and reverb perception is nothing short of amazing. The lows and sub frequencies are rich, full and defined. Headphones are an important component to mixing for imaging and problem solving, especially in today’s environment where computer, hard drive and fan noise is more present than ever.
But I’ve always felt that final volumes and balances need to be heard in air though speakers, even if headphones are a good starting point. I mixed for hours in these headphones and these are the best I’ve heard in translating volumes and balances into the real world. Additionally with the demands of long working hours, I found the comfort of the headphones to be good. Beyerdynamic says, “A recess in the headband padding protects against the pressure-sensitive fontanelle, allowing you to wear the headphones for hours on end. With premium sound quality, replaceable parts, low impedance and high-wearing comfort, the DT 770 PRO X LE is tailor-made for studio professionals, artists, filmmakers, and producers.”
“We wanted to commemorate our 100-year milestone by creating headphones that pay homage to our past, and empower studio professionals to work however their inspiration strikes,” said beyerdynamic CEO Andreas Rapp. “By combining the beloved features of the DT 770 PRO with the latest driver technology of the DT 700 PRO X, (they) deliver unparalleled performance.”
The DT 770 PRO X LE comes with soft velour earpads, a 3m Mini-XLR to 3.5mm jack cable, a 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack adapter, a drawstring bag and an anniversary booklet about beyerdynamic’s history. The headband features a limited-edition anniversary emblem and beyerdynamic logo.
