Reference headphones for control and monitoring purpose – 32, 80 & 250 ohms (closed)
For Mobile Devices
Headphones for when you're out and about but not prepared to compromise on studio sound.
For Universal Studio
These 80-ohms headphones are the ideal choice for a range of studio applications.
For Professional Devices
With an impedance of 250 ohms, the headphones are perfect for mixing in the studio.
The beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO headphones have established themselves as a firm favourite amongst music producers, sound engineers and broadcasters and are used in studios all over the world. They reproduce the entire frequency range with incredible precision, and even reproduce low frequencies in punchy detail.
The headphones are designed for critical music and sound monitoring, providing a perfectly neutral listening environment with exceptional isolation and top-notch impulse response. High frequencies are translated into an analytical and differentiated sound. Ultra-low bass sounds are defined and reproduced crisply.
The soft velour ear pads also offer breathability for a high level of comfort and long-lasting durability.
The robust spring steel hoop gives the headphones a secure fit.
At 375 grams, including the cable, the headphones are surprisingly light and yet sturdy - so nothing stands in the way of long studio sessions.
The DT 770 PRO headphones are and always have been handcrafted in Germany. We are particularly proud of the durability of our products, because all the components used are replaceable if necessary.
beyerdynamic HEADPHONE LAB delivers the sound of a high-end studio. For better mixes — no matter where you produce. Free, easy to use, and ready to go.
Which headphones are suitable for gaming?
The DT 990 PRO, DT 990 PRO X, DT 900 PRO X, and DT 1990 PRO MKII (open-back) are generally well-suited for gaming and streaming.
For use in combination with a microphone, we recommend closed-back headphones, as they provide better isolation from external noise and reduce sound leakage into the microphone. Open-back models offer a more spacious and natural soundstage but may bleed into sensitive microphones and cause feedback at high volumes.
What is the difference between the classic DT models and the PRO X models?
Classic DT models like the DT 770 PRO or DT 990 PRO have been studio standards for decades. They are available in various impedance versions to ensure optimal compatibility—whether you're using a compact interface in a home studio or a professional setup with a headphone amplifier.
The PRO X models, on the other hand, feature the STELLAR.45 driver, developed in Germany. This modern driver design ensures consistent sound quality across a wide range of playback devices—from mobile gear to high-end studio amplifiers. With an impedance of 48 ohms, they are especially versatile.
Additionally, PRO X models come with detachable cables, whereas the classic DT models have fixed cables. All models are handcrafted in Germany and designed for long-term use, thanks to their replaceable components.
Which headphones are best for mixing and mastering?
For mixing and mastering, open-back headphones are typically the preferred choice, as they offer a natural sense of space and an uncolored representation of the frequency spectrum. The DT 900 PRO X delivers a particularly linear and precise sound image, making it ideal for these tasks. For those seeking maximum detail and resolution, the DT 1990 PRO MKII is a high-end option, offering excellent depth, clear bass, and detailed highs.
While models like the DT 990 PRO and DT 990 PRO X also feature an open design and outstanding spatial imaging, they are primarily intended for critical listening and precise editing, rather than tonal balancing during mixing.
As a closed-back alternative, the DT 700 PRO X is a strong candidate. Thanks to its linear sound tuning, it can also be used for mixing—especially in environments where open-back headphones are not acoustically feasible.
What are the differences between the PRO and Edition models?
The PRO models (DT 770 PRO, DT 880 PRO, DT 990 PRO) are designed for professional applications, e.g. in the recording studio. The Edition models are suitable for use at home on the stereo system. The corresponding models of both product families PRO and Edition are hardly distinguishable in terms of sound, as long as they have the same impedance (e.g. DT 880 Edition / 250 Ohm and DT 880 PRO / 250 Ohm sound the same). The DT 990 Edition and the DT 990 PRO (in the 250 Ohm version) sound identical. The identical transducers are used. However, the Edition models have a slightly softer contact pressure for comfortable music enjoyment at home, while the Pro headphones sit a little tighter on the head to stay in place even during faster movements in everyday studio use. In addition, the Pro version comes with a coiled cable and the Edition version with a stretched cable. In addition, the Edition version is available in three different impedances.
