By all means, do whatever keeps the boat flowing as long as the input stays objective.

I feel you have proven yourself to be an honest and unbiased reviewer over the years. So I think you should do whatever you can for the channel to make more money because it will not change how you review products going forward. 🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽 💰💵💸

I personally believe if you keep your reviews honest and grounded, then you should be rewarded for all your hard work and efforts through 'affiliate ' links. Thank you very much for this review and introduction to this equipment. Much appreciated. Stay well, Sir.

You have the trust of your community. Don't change how you review and your community will support your sponsored material.

Hey Joe all I want to say is I've been with you since the start... I know you're unbiased and you love what you do at this point my brother you deserve everything that comes your way I think us as a community we definitely trust you

At this point I think you have earned some sponsored placements on your channel given you have stayed critical of the products you review over the years which is the hard route when you could just say everything is good and rack in the free shit/compensation from the companies like 99% of these youtubers have been doing. More money means more content potentially, we are here for it. Appreciate you Joe.

It’s a tough question to answer. You def deserve to get kick backs. What drew me to your channel over other channels is your honesty and unbiased opinion. I never felt like you were over hyping a product just because it was sent to you or because you wanted to push people to it for the kick backs.

Hey great video review. First time watching you and it's on my favorite headphones ever. Keep up then good work. 🤘

i will do my best to get my next headset soon through one of your links, im in canada so hopefully i ll manage to make it work because i would love to support the channel your reviews are incredible.

Best and most honest audio / gadget review channel out there no BS ❤ I would like to see some. Affiliated links to help support the channel you've earned it and everyone will support you no matter what ❤🇬🇧

I'm loving these uploads Joe, affiliate links are fine.You got to eat.Just stay real & be yourself,honest & genuine that's why people love you,peace.

I am all for affiliate links. I don't think that they put any weight on whether you like a product or not, especially with someone I trust like you. Always appreciate your input.

I'm subbed and fully endorse use of affiliate links and sponsored videos.

Affiliate links are no problem at all. I wouldn't do marketing unless you bring out your own product in cooperation. But providing an easy link for those who would like to buy it should never be a problem. And I rather you get a cut than it all going to the brand. 😂 I just subscribed 👍

As long as your opinion or review are unbiased which is generally lacking nowadays in media/journalism, I think having kick back links to support the channel is fine. As it will help you review more things and help us get your point of view of those items. Also, would love for you to review DT 1990 pro and DT 900 pro X , couldn’t find it on the channel. I love the comfort of this brand, would like your take on sound quality on those.

I don't see a problem with having affiliate links and such as long as the review is not biased because of it. I've been watching your videos for a few months, just because I like them, but I'm not too into audio. It's great to see a neutral and objective review channel like yours, so I I think you deserve the extra income you might get from collabs like that

Add Beyerdynamic DT 900 pro x to the Warzone EQ please! What you are doing here is amazing. Appreciate your time and effort. Keep up the good content/work.

Yes! This is exactly the take i have. When picking between headphones, you can EQ a little too your preference, but you can't change the physical fit, driver quality or style.

Nice upgrade. Especially the detachable cable. I've always been a little weary of the treble in the Beyer's though. DT1990 Pro were the best Beyer I ever heard with a Dekoni pad swap for more Bass and smoother treble. And they are built like a tank

Having Dt 770 Pro - Amazing sound Quality as a non Studio-User

These are definitely better for me, than my previous 80 Ohm variant. Mine has almost the same frequency response, that you measured. :)

I see no issue in the affiliate programs. You do insert the non subjective tests and give a take on them every time so that should be enough ! you make a great job smooth videos, great content so detailed yet so simple 🤷🏻‍♂️ go ahead man you deserve it. on another note i wanna ask about brainwavs cushions on the nova 7p’s.. i did order the wc but didnt feel that comfy and i miss the bigger earpads that were on the artics 7p+

ya dude, keep it real. I chose my nova pros wireless after watching your reviews. informative

Glad to see you review this! I JUST got these headphones today! I put on the Dekoni Elite Hybrid earpads and then used the Oratory1999 EQ preset he made for the 770 80ohm (seems the 770 Pro X and 770s have same frequency response). It sounds amazing! I love the Harman curve! I was blown away by how music sounds! Didn't sound blunted like the 700 Pro X and 900 Pro X, but the instrument separation and imaging is so good. I think it's even better than the TYGR 300R! The 770 Pro X's are so spacious it sounds like an open back almost!

Get the bag! Nobody should question your integrity at this point.

Another great review. My thoughts on sponsorships … I’m fine with them, especially if the sponsor is not from the manufacturer / provider of the item being reviewed. So, for a headphone review it can be sponsored by an DAC/AMP brand that you used to test the cans with, or by a cable brand etc. Same with DAC review, sponsor with a cable supplier.

Great review, can you share your EQ profile?

Have you used the Pulse Elites recently since your review? Do you think they will be apart of your FPS headset list later this year?

I agree with others - a tough question! I trust your reviews, but I can't tell whether not having affiliate links in the description helped build that trust for me. It certainly didn't hurt and there's a reason you chose not to do that in the past. I'll watch either way though (because you already have my trust), and would use your affiliate links. I'm also a huge Pats fan. Shame on Kraft for trying to turn Belichick into a villain.

thank you especially for the measurement.

Hey Joe, if we have different IEMs not listed on the Warzone tuning page, what would you recommend we use for an EQ in Equalizer APO?

Based on your consistent provision of honest reviews over time, it's evident that incorporating affiliate links could be beneficial for the channel. However, I suggest including non-affiliate links alongside them, allowing viewers to make purchases without any associated kickbacks. As demonstrated in this video, presenting both options fosters transparency and ensures unbiased recommendations. I concur with your stance on avoiding sponsored content, as it may compromise the integrity of your opinions by introducing external influences aimed at swaying reviewer perspectives.

Bought them IMMEDIATELY lmao. The sound profile was definitely strange at first, after some tedious EQing they sound...slightly more interesting(?) than the original 770. Build and comfort are extreme, just fantastic.

I ordered this without any of the reviews so I hope I like it. I got the tyger 300r and I really like it.

Don’t get it why reviewers not compare them to standard 770 pro?That what most users want to see.

I don't mind affiliate links, I think I can get a good enough feeling of whether someone is honest in their reviews after watching a couple generally, in more particularly in your case, not being a new viewer, no problem at all.

the old 770s and lg v50 phone ftw

affiliate links are good when it doesnt affect the review in any way

*SubD* lurker deserved another sub!

Hey gadgetry, I see turtle beach is releasing a wireless open back headset next month called the atlas air wireless. I’m interested in seeing your thoughts on release, any plans for it?

Do you plan on reviewing the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 series?

I think you further monetizing your channel would be a good thing given your track record of honesty. I have no concerns about the quality and accuracy of your work going forward as I know your integrity is not for sale.

Can you make a video on the quedelix 5k and how to use it on console for good footstep audio?

Hey, so I have the DT770 Pro 80ohms that I bought back in 2018, it's still good, but I have a question. Paired with an iFi Zen DAC, for gaming, the volume just isn't loud enough at low gain, and when I hit the high gain button, it distorts when I up the dial. It sounds okay on Spotify because it's louder, but in games it's much quieter, and the distortion is killing the experience that I'm rather sticking with my Kiwi Ears Melody and EM6l IEMs. Will an amp sort the issue or could there be something wrong with the headphones? To be clear, distortion only happens in high gain mode max volume on my Zen DAC and not on low gain.

I think it is ok to have links, once you said that you do receive some money back to support the channel, just to not create any misunderstanding to some people.

I've been listening to these for a while today, and I think the only thing that I don't think I'm of the same opinion about is that I don't find these to be unresolving. I'm listening on an SMSL SU-8S/SH-8S stack, and I'm finding the detail and resolution to be really good. Better than I remember my DT 990 Pro being, but I don't have it here to compare. Detail-wise, it feels to me like it's competing pretty well with things I have in the $200-$300 range (HD6XX and Fiio FT3). I had another cheap closed back, the R7-DX from Hifiman that I think has maybe a little better soundstage, but the DT770 Pro X has better extension on the bass, and it's nice and clean. Punch Brothers version of "Another New World" at 2:45 when the bass plays a long drawn out note, it's nice and clean on the Beyerdynamic. Drivers seem pretty fast to me. Anyway, thanks for another detailed review. Have you considered including your source(s) on the videos? Might give a little perspective if there are differing opinions on the subjective side of things...

Amazing review as always! I tried the regular DT 770 Pro about a year ago and have never initiated an Amazon return so quickly in my life lol. Like you said, I know sound is subjective and everyone hears things differently, but the treble was sooo sharp I honestly couldn't believe people enjoy using headphones with that kind of sound signature.

Literally the most perfect headphone out of the whole DT series imho! Peak Beyer right here!

Video idea: try some aftermarket pads (brainwavz, WC, etc.) to see if something tames the treble on these

I hope they make a dt 990 of this

I would say personally, it would not matter to me if you have sponsored video as I have been a long-time follower of this channel, and I trust your opinion. However, I think in terms of the longevity of the channel, it would be easier for new followers to know that the specific video that is reviewing certain products is not being sponsored by the same company.

get your bag bro we wanna see you win

How do you think this will do with a tube amp like the XDUOO TA20 Plus fed with a R2R DAC like the Denafrips Ares 2? would that tame sibilance ?

Perhaps you can do an in video ad sponsor commercial instead youll likely earn more revenue then affiliate links and you could also use sponsors that are not related to audio but could possibly crossover into the market.

Can u pls review and compare DT900 pro X? It is low ohm has the same driver as this one..

The treble on the DT 1990 can be fixed in two ways either a passive filter from diyaudioheaven (solderdude) or EQ at 7700Hz, -7dB, Q 3.0 (or Q 3.5) (with Analytical pads and ymmv you might want less reduction or more). I also find the Balanced pads too boomy for my taste, but some people might like it that way as well. I also own the DT 770 Pro 80Ohm, used it for a long time and next to the DT 1990 it barely gets playtime. But still that headphone is like an old friend and one of the best closed-backs (if not the best - some people probably prefer K361 or K371), and this anniversary edition looks nice as well - shares more similarities in tuning with the DT 770 line than the DT 700 Pro X (even though it uses the same driver as the 700 Pro X).

Could you make a video about EQ on pc and android?

100% go with the affiliate link

What is he saying by passive? Isn’t that a speaker term? Just wondering 😊

Thought the TYGR 300 R are based on the DT 990 Pro, except they have slightly dampened treble.

I don’t think affiliate links are a bad thing if you keep your current review style. It’s very in depth, there’s the objective measurements that you can’t argue with, and then there’s your subjective opinion on it. Every headphone will have pros and cons. If your review covers both and I deem the product still worth purchasing, I don’t see why it would be a bad thing for you to get a tiny bit from that. That said, have you seen the Turtle Beach open back headphones they just announced? Very curious to see how those will turn out.

I'm too sensitive in the high range, the edition xs fatigued me in the 8k-12k region I had to pull 3 db out to really listen to them. Unfortunate that they didn't consider the old dt770 pro drivers with the removable cable and updated materials. I like the old dt770 pro 80 ohms I have, I'm going to get a removable cable mod done to the tune of the original cost I paid for the cans themselves and to me that's more worth it than buying the newer pair.

Merci !!!

That stand is fire!

ALRIGHT PEOPLE! ... I will write it down because everyone only sees the rainbows and puppies with this 770 PRO X, and no one is telling the truth about sound quality. I am a big fun of the old DT 770 Pro (especially the 250 ohm) and had high expectations with this "Limited Edition". I waited like 3-4 months then finally got released in my country. I bought one (on my own money). In short, I didn't like it and will return it... The sound is more closer to the DT 700 X with added spark on the top + a big boom on the low end. For a studio monitoring headphone this sounds way to bass heavy to me. The mid range and the vocals sound weird and resonating/ringing, while they are also distant and artificial. I tried loads of tracks, but after a few minutes I just put it down... I didn't enjoy listening music on it at all. You won't find the engaging and wide sound of the original DT 770 Pro here. Sometimes the sound even felt boxy and unnatural with much emphasis on the bass. To my ears these headphones just too different from the original, and do not understand how Beyerdynamic could name these as "DT 770 PROs". It is not a bad headphone by any means, but it has nothing to do with the originals. This is an EQ-ed DT 700 X with a more comfortable design. By the way, I disliked the DT 700 X too because that was way to flat and uncomfortable. After trying a few recent Beyers I realized that,the new Stellar 45 driver has no soul in it. Boooring as heck and It's hard to imagine anyone enjoying it for a long term. The DT 770 PRO X sound signature in pair with similar headphones in the same price range so it won't stand out from the crowd. I would even say that the sound tuning is close to the Audio Technica M50x, so pretty much V shaped with scooped mids. You can decide if that's a positive or negative thing... I am deeply disappointed... I do like the classy design and build quality, but this won't be my favorite and I will reach back to the old one, 80 or 250 ohms versions. This situation feels like a classic movie remake with a different actors for the today"s "standards". Not always necessary or true to the original. The new Stellar 45 driver is powerful that's the only good thing with it. Personally I don't like the direction that Beyer took with these new line of "studio" headphones. 😢

Hi, I would be interested to see a comparison between the new DT 770 Pro X and the old DT 770 Pro. I am a bit concerned about the new drivers here.... I owned the DT 700 X and think that sounded very flat and lifeless using the same drivers as the limited edition here. Comfort was also pretty much terrible. (small cups, heavy, headband... ) So if anyone knows how it goes sound-wise, please share. I still love my DT 770 pro. Thanks :)

How they sound compared to DT 770 Pro 250Ohm?

Thanks so much for confirming my suspicions on these cans. I've been using a pair of the standard DT770 Pro 80ohms for over 10 years and decided to pre order these after the NAMM reveal. When they got here and I A/B'd them to my old pair, I absolutely HATED the siblance these produced. I got ear fatigue incredibly quickly, to the point where I thought something was wrong with these given the claim by Beyerdynamic that these were supposed to be tuned just like the standard DT770 Pros. My wife also ordered a pair and I checked hers to confirm it wasnt just a QC issue. Unfortunate because they are so physically comfortable, but when the EQ curve is so drastic on the highs that it creates uncomfortable siblance issues with songs I KNOW didnt have that and makes cymbals downright painful to listen to in any modern rock or metal, I opted to send them back within a day and go for the Sennheiser HD490 Pros.

How does compare to the Maxwell Ultraviolet Edition Gaming Headset? As far as marketing i dont mind helping out.

Wish someone compared the sony mv1 vs senn 490 pro vs 660s2 vs aune ar5000 & also this i know this is half the price & closed but i still wanted just in general comparison of comparableish studio designs & which is great for audiophile listening & not studio work?

Is the 770 Pro X good for gaming or is there something better?

can you try the new turtle beatch 600 heatset?

where can i get the headphone stand from the video

Damn it,Beyerdynamic infamous piercing treble hits again... I owned DT 990 Pro but i returned in favour of Hifiman HE 400 i ver 2020 wich is a better can hands down. Thanks for this honest review!

So long as you stay true to your opinion, there’s nothing wrong with working with sponsors/companies looking for honest reviews. The bills have to be paid somehow.

Which one is good for FPS like COD?

If I use these on a ps5 controller is there a way to still use a mic

You should do what feels right to you. You're never going to please everyone no matter what. What are some other tech channels that you respect doing? I wouldn't question your integrity either way.

they making you send it back ??

Link to the headphone stand?

I think that you taking money from them is not a good or bad thing for us. If you stay truthful is what matters

I have been using these for the last week, I find them uncomfortable, from the ear cups being too large squeezing on my face and the top headband also pushing too much into the scalp. More importantly though I just can't get use to the faraway sound and the lost details in the mids.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with affiliate links.

As long as the review doesn’t change! Just don’t take VPN’s. Those are easy to sniff out.

i have both X & 80hm...i love old one sound soft and nature and dont like new version sound too bright and sharp

Truthfully, I trust Joe to do an honest review, regardless. Affiliate or not.

Beyerdynamic keeps churning out V-shaped headphones and peeps still say that studio monitors are flat.

Please monetize. Keep the reviews honest is all we ask just as you have. Make that money.

The only thing stopping me from buying beyerdynamic headphones is the ear pads, they are basically sponges, that will absorb sweat, oils and hair products

Tysm…you totally deserved sponsors by now. Also saved me money and not going to buy this 😅

Nobody is talking about the insanly 90€ cable price for a simple Mini-XLR > USB-C cable.

are these headphones good for gaming?

Hey what's your daily atm?

You should have been compare it to DT770 Pro... That would be more valuable than comparing to gaming hp. DT1990 or HD600/650 are another level and also it's open back so comparing it to close back doesn't make sense.

if the evaluation of problem is honest then doing any sort of paid promotion or affiliate thing is definitely acceptable. at the end of the we have to make profit out of it.

Could you EQ 240 HZ up a bit

Affliate links should be fine

I hate when sponsors touch any of the videos.

It is true that measurements between rigs differ.. it is also true, if you take unit variation out of the equation, that if you want to tune one product to sound like another, both should have been measured on the same rig (i do that to have an idea for my next purchase decision and i start from products that are close in FR to begin with... but at the same time when you go on two squig.links and when landing you see the Harman OE 2018 target, you kind of expect a similar measurement up to 8-9000 hz (at least).. I am talking about a question I posed to you on Resolve's live stream about different measurement between yours and another guy's for the JT1... turned out he was using a different rig but still featured H2018 on his squig.. I have since seen another measurement on a rig that can "support" the H2018 and it is similar to yours...

I have been using Beyer Dynamic for decades and I will never buy any of their low impedance headphones again. I haven't had any of their new low impedance (80ohm) headphones last more then a year. Beyer does have good warrantee but all of the 80ohm headphones stopped working in little as 6 months. The left or right side always blows out or gets distorted, the cushion wears out fairly quick. The ear pads need to be replaced to get the best sound. I love Beyer Dynamic headphones but stay away from their low impedance headphones and only buy their high impedance (250ohm and above) headphones They are amazing and have two pairs that lasted over 12 years.
