If you’ve been in a pro studio, you’ll have probably used Beyerdynamic’s DT 100 headphones - an industry standard in tracking for what seems like forever. The DT 770 Pro is a newer design, and offers large, velvet-covered, circular pads that totally cover the ears.

Adjustable and comfortable on the head, these provide a classy listening experience with extended bass response. We’d like a removable cable like on the DT 100, but we like that the ear pads are replaceable.

Verdict

We like: Velvet earpads; comfortable; excellent sound
We dislike: Excessive bass

Comfortable to wear and with an open and balanced sound, the DT 770 headphones are great all-rounders - a fine choice for leisure listening as well as for studio work.
