The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro are some supremely even-handed closed-back studio headphones; they were already good for their price, but a 30% discount in the Prime Day sales makes their new $139.99 price even more enticing. In fact, it’s their lowest price ever (verified by the Camelizer price checker).
Reference monitoring is a crucial component for any studio, home or Pro - but not always the most compelling of studio goodies to purchase. This year’s Prime Day music deals, then, are the perfect opportunity to invest in some handsomely-discounted necessaries, as evidenced by this absolute gem of a headphone-monitor discount.
The Pro X variants of these very headphones were highly-rated enough to top our list of the best budget studio headphones - which should tell you something about the viability of this particular Prime Day deal. The DT 770 Pro are bona fide closed-backs for Professional purposes, combining some supremely impressive specs with keen over-ear comfort. Read our full Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro review to see exactly what we think.
Those specs, incidentally, include a 5Hz-35kHz frequency range, across which the DT 770 Pro’s 45mm drivers deliver impeccable balance. As budget monitor headphones go, these are practically the platonic ideal; there’s a reason you’ll find them, in bulk, in pretty much any professional studio you could think of.
The DT 770 Pro has three different versions, which have different input impedances - namely 32, 80 and 250 ohms. Impedance isn’t the easiest thing for beginners to get their heads around, but the Cliff’s notes is that lower-impedance devices don’t present any issues for smartphones and consumer devices, while higher-impedance devices benefit from the oomph provided by higher-end studio equipment.
All three of the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro in this Amazon Prime Day deal enjoy the very same $60 discount, so pick carefully! If you’re after some everyday closed-backs that’ll work with your laptop just as happily as with your audio interface, go with the lower impedance; if sitting on some primo headphone amplifiers though, you’ll want to go higher.
Whichever impedance you go for, you’ll be getting some industry-standard monitor headphones for an incredible price. They’re non-fatiguing, they’re supremely even-handed, and they’ve got enough intrigue in the bass to keep things interesting too. And they’re cheap. Did we mention they’re cheap?
