5.0 out of 5 stars For Professional Use, They Don't Get Much Better, September 6, 2007

As a radio professional, I demand headphones that are going to give faithful sound reproduction with solid construction. You're putting them on and taking them off every four minutes, and have a cord to walk around and try not to trip over for your other tasks. No matter how religious I've always been about being gentle with them, until I tried Beyer-Dymanics, every single pair I've ever owned has let me down within ten months. Either the wiring cuts out on an ear, and/or a studio mishap sends parts flying.

I've owned my DT770s for over five years. Best investment I've ever made, as headphones go.

I just purchased a pair of these headphones in the 80 ohm version as opposed to the 250 ohm model listed under this header. The two are similar products used for different applications but like any audio product you have to hear them for yourself.

Despite the subjectivity disclaimer, I will say these cans have a seemingly more flat response compared to the Sennheiser HD280 and the Sony MDR7506 I auditioned side-by-side in the store. The mid-range response of the dt770's was the best quality- because you can actually pick out the mids. The high frequency response was articlate without being pushy, a big factor for me. In contrast, the Sony phones seem to feature an aggressive and unrefined response in the high frequency. Otherwise the Sonys are fine for $100. The Sennheisers (also $100) seem to isolate better than both the Beyers and the Sonys, but I found the Beyers the most comfortable of the three. I don't have big ears, but the Sonys seem to have little chiclet ear cups and isolated the least of the three. The Senns are definitely worth the $100, but I can't figure out why the Sonys are audio industry standard headphones with that almost prickly high pitch response.

I picked the Beyers even though they cost twice as much as the other two because of the exceptionally even response I got from them. When I took them home I tried them out on every little lo-fi device I could find, and they continually made me shiver with their fidelity and overall tempered sound. Do you want to 'hear' your headphones influencing the music? I don't.

The Beyer's base response was hearty, maybe due to lightweight transducers that reproduce sound more efficiently than most cans. But for me it was hearing the mids, a range that humans don't pick up as easily as bass or high pitch sounds, that made these worthwhile. If you want super high quality phones, pick these up.

i've always been a major proponent of flat-response studiophile headphones for use in music production as opposed to near-field monitors for primary monitoring during equalization and mixdown, and to do that wisely it is a must that you make a sound purchasing decision - ignore advice from peers, especially dj's (headphones for dj'ing is a whole other sack of beans) and sink your teeth into the specifications... you want the widest frequency response you can afford, large load impedence ('tougher', the drivers won't wear out after a year or two), very low total harmonic distortion, etc. etc. previously i'd leaned heavily on my sennheiser eh2200's, which are no longer made. after a few years the drivers have begun to drop out some low end and highs so it was time to upgrade. i went with the dt 770 pro's, which i'd looked at a while ago as a future purchase. I AM SO GLAD I DID. these are wonderfully 'true' headphones. nothing added, no colouring of the sound, just a good wide soundstage that gets me really, really 'close' to my mix.
