One thing I appreciate about your review is that you actually have the equipment and it's based on experience rather than getting some info from internet... Thanks and we need more people like you and more reviews like this.

Right on time I was just researching for mixing headphones. Always awesome Sean

This couldn’t come at a more perfect time!

Thanks a lot for this Sean. Right on time.

Thanks for a great video - very useful

Been watching your channel for years regarding mixing/mastering tips, truly appreciate your insight!

i spent around 4 days searching for my first mixing headphones, finally i'm getting DT-770. thank you for the insights

Nice take on these headphones, thank you!

Thanks bro great review.

Great quality video and information thanks bro!

Great video thank you very informative

Nice comparison review! Very helpful! 👊🏽 🎶 🎧 👍🏽

Thanks for the review Sean, and 15 years my God 😇🙏

The cushions on the DT770’s are insane. Love mine 💯

Great video, thanks!

Awesome video! Thanks dude!

U inspired me to get the DT’s. I use them for music and also gaming which sounds awesome ! Thanks for the great video & have a great day!!

thank you very useful info

thank you i needed this

Great review thanks. I thought most people recommend open headphones for mixing/mastering. Surprised to see so many closed backs on the list

Thanks Sean you just saved me money. I've had the DT-770 headphones for a number of years, they're a little tatty but still fully functioning & sounding great & if I hadn't seen this I might have replaced them. I agree they sound great, you could spend way more on expensive phones but there's no point. Nice job.

I also use the HD-650 and DT-770. In addition i often apply the Sonarworks Reference for Headphone profiles in order to get even better/flatter results when mixing my songs.

My headphones broke this morning and then this comes out 👌👌👌

Thanks sean!

My MDR-7506 is 19 years old :) still, work flawlessly.

Nice vid!

Very nice headphones. Makes me think which to get. :)

good video! ty

Perfect timing

None of us believe you get hot or sweaty as you are too cool for school. | DT's for value:quality ratio. 990's here for like 12 years.

Thx! 770s came in yesterday

I'm watching your vid and waiting for the #1 headphone thinking "oh man, these are gonna be expensive". Not only are they not, I already own three pairs! Ha.....

Super awesome 👏🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥

I can vouch for the much improved OLLO Audio S4X model, they're stunning!

Fully agree. Have them all snd tested them back to back. The DT880 Pro sounds exactly like the Airpods Pro 2.

I have the Sen 660s and the DT 770. In contrast to many people that seem to swear by the DT 770s to me they sound a bit harsh. This can be great for finding problems in the mix but for general listening they become fatiguing quickly at least for me. I can only comfortably listen to them if I eq them down a couple of db around 8kHz and 16kHz. Actually I was surprised when you described them as not harsh having already described the Sony as very bright (I haven't tried them but I am really curious to see how they sound). I have A/B mine quite a lot and when I switch between the 660s and the DT 770 the sibilants just pop out whatever I am listening to (hi hats, more bright snares, crashes you name it, are all over the place) to the point where I would drastically EQ them if I was only using the DT 770 for mixing. I would say that I am a bit more sensitive to bright sounds (and I like more warm sounds in general this is true) but the problem is the following. Many Beyer Dynamics headphones, including DT 770, have a really obvious peak around 8-9kHz in their frequency response which is measurable. And the peak is also quite extreme, it is around +9 to 10 dB SPL from the expected flat frequency response (at least according to the measurements I have seen online in a few popular review sites). So there is a big amplification there (at least on paper) and honestly I am not sure how much harsher you can get at least at this specific high treble range. I am not trying to argue with anyone's experience as this is really subjective but having them described as not harsh at all (not only by you but also many reviewers actually) and the fact that many people seem to not only not be bothered, which is understandable as people have different sensitivity to different frequencies, but not even notice any brightness in such an obvious EQ peak (it is similar to taking your DAW EQ and going in these frequencies and almost maxing them out) really strikes me as odd. Again I am not trying to say everyone is wrong but anyway I wanted to mention it in case someone has a similar experience. I might as well be reading the charts wrong too to be frank. (It is worth mentioning that below these frequencies the headphones are almost completely flat so if you are listening to something that does not have many trebles you should get a pretty accurate and not harsh at all sound). Anyway thanks for the review. Cheers.

GREAT VIDEO!!!.... I agree 100% with you. It's gonna be good a video Comparison/Review of the next Top 5 to see the total Top 10. Headphones are more and more necessary these days than ever before. Trust me.

Sean, Have you tried the DT-990 pro open back for mixing? I use the DT-770 80 Ohm and I love them 🎧

A thing about the DT770, the 32/250 ohm versions have similar drivers, but the 80 ohms have distinctly different drivers, which gives them also a distinctly different sound to the other versions. Many people (including myself) prefer the 80 ohm sound.

I've got Shure SR940s. I'd like to try the Sennheisers and the Adams too. My monitors are Adams S3As and A7xs so I should really get the full set. 😆

i just got the DT770 PRO 250 ohm and its sounds amazing!

Hi Sean, good review. Do u recommend the Beyerdynamics for genres like Deep House, House, Minimal? Thxs!!

Listening on DT-770s. Love them. I guess I made a smart decision.

Thanks 👌🏾

Thank you for review, I'm going to buy 770s😊

I got 2 different sony mdr series. Never give it away!!

Sean please do a similar top 5 for mic under 150-200 $

Hello Master, thank you for your valuable videos . I have a problem , I use Eris 5 speakers for mixing And I compare it with the reference song , Everything sounds great , But with the phone speaker, the volume of my song is much louder than the reference song And this is very annoying . I even tried SonarWorks but my problem was not solved . I have an audio technic ath-m20x headphones But it does not have a good sound , My sound card is saffire pro 14 , And I do not know what to do to have a good mix . I have been mixing hip hop songs for 4 years And now I need a higher quality to earn credit ... The acoustics of my room are relatively good, but I work in a 3 * 3 room. Where do you think the problem comes from? Do I need to replace my speakers or buy a open back headphone ? But which model is better? I am in Iran and due to economic problems I have to choose cheap equipment I had several training courses with Iranian mix engineers, but my problem still persists Please help me how to solve my problem🙏❤️

I have the DT770 and the HD650 and I love them. Also my AKG702

Thanks mate you saved my papels as putting my DT-770 as Number one which I bought for production but now I learned that it is also great for Mix/Mastering :)

Yo, it's like 2 weeks now that I'm trying to upgrade my mixing headphones but I'm a bit confused now, would you actually suggest to buy the dt-770 80 ohm version for mixing-only? Isn't it closed back? Thanks in advance for any advice!

would you recommend beyerdynamic dt-770 or the dt-990 pro better? Thanks ! I have an Appolo twin x as audio interface also.

Awesome

Great review Sean! Would you still recommend dt 770 pro or there’s a better option around the same price now as they are bit old? Also which ohm version would be good to use with id4 mkii interface?

Really great comparison video. Can I ask - been working HD650s with a headphone amp for a few years, but am going to need to move to closed backed for a little while. Do you think the DT770s would be my best move? Being that you've used both, I'd very much appreciate your take. Thanks.

I'm gonna get the new model Ollo audio s4x for christmas

Do you recommend dt770 80ohm version for mixing? Or 250 ohm version is must?

I love the DT990 pros but I definitely need an audio interface. As they are the 250 ohms

How do you feel about the DT990s 250ohm for mixing? I just ask because I use the Sony 7506 for tracking and the 990s for mixing, and considering getting the 770s 80ohm.

I have the 770 80 ohms and they sound so quiet on my Apollo FireWire. I’m also have akg k240 studios which I’ve had for a long time. They are open back and pretty cheap but I’ve used them for awhile and mainly use it as my primary mixing headphone

Hi sean, Don't you find the dt990pro better than the dt770pro for mixing? The price is similar (in my country).

🔥

The Sony MD 7509 (now discontinued) had a much wider bandwidth than the 7506 and was better suited to mixing I think. The dark horse of Beyer's DT range is the 880 Pros a really great mixing headphone and has been described as Beyer's best kept secret. I would recommend anyone to give them a try.

Have you tried the Audio Technica R70X ? Comfort is second to none, and amazing sound :)

I ordered the MDR as soon as he said 15years 😅

I have the Audio technica M40x’s right now. What’s an upgrade do you think from that? I record/ mix and master hip hop.

650s best hands down!

That's the difference between the 80ohm and 250 ohm in the DT770 Beyerdynamic? Thanks

Hello, your videos are very helpful so thanks and I have seen all three pairs of headphones you have advertised. I’m actually looking for a pair of headphones which have a very good quality jack plug and or replaceable jack plug if needs be. I notice you advertised Beyerdynamic DT-770 models? I’m only looking for monitor headphones for home use mastering mixing with GarageBand and Logic. Which would you recommend for home use for mixing and singing recording vocals? Can I see a picture of the cable and jack plug on the Beyerdinaic D-770 headphones please?

Still waiting for you to put out divine mixing chain for the (waves studio rack 11 version). Please do that, cant wait to purchase that cos i have just upgraded my waves bundle

Sir kindly inform something about KRK 8400.thanks

Did you compare and prefer the 770 to the 880 and 990? If so, what was different? Thanks!

Woaw cool

what do you think about the HD600 vs HD650? A lot of good producers in my environment recommend the 600s over the 650s for sounding more accurate

Sennheiser 650's are IT!

I have genelec 8030Cs ... I'm looking for headphones for mixing and mastering purposes and I have no budget issues. What would you pick?

I have Adam Audio studio monitors so I’m curious about their headphones.

If you had to put Sony MDR 7506's vs Sony WH-1000XM4's in a scale of 1-10 for best music listening expierince, what would that be in your opinion? (Example like 5.2 vs 7). Was curious to ask - thank you.

What kind of headphones should i get if imma record my vocals and mix ?

DT 770....agreed. Best headphones on the planet hands down. I've had them all. You just can't beat them in sound quality and comfort.

How is the sound stage for the DT-770’s?

I use Beyerdynamic DT-880 pro. They do lack lowend and some highs are to high. I do like them do, but ears get a bit tired after long sessions. I did try Sonnarworks reference 4 and it does make it a bit better, but i dont like running another software for correction, and i feel that they remove a bit of the details to.

Which headphone output or headphone amplifier would you reccomend for 250 ohm headphones?

I just bought a pair of Audio-Technica ATX-M50x headphones. The both the high and low end are pretty detailed. The mids sound great too.

What would you recommend for EDM production house, techno, trance etc

I've had issues with beyerdynamics drivers having low power handling, Is that the case for you as well on the dt770-80 ohm?

@Sean Divine I see that Fireface on your desk! what kind of cable management do you have - you don't happen to have a video of that do you?

Hey Sean got the 770s a couple months ago but I’m getting a rattling in the headphones when I turn up the volume on the low end, was wondering if since you’ve had these headphones you have ever had this issue? Thanks

Why my dt770 pro 250 sounds clear.. But without details on the songs... Are all the same.. I cant mix and Master like this... 😓

Can a tascam us-122 mkii run a dt 770 80 ohm or 250 ohm?

this is a great video. only mystery to me is how one would point out the high-end on the Adam and Sony, yet totally ignore the typical "Mt. Beyer" peak on the 770s. Super hyped treble is the Beyer signature sound, and it's fatiguing af.

i like Beyerdynamic DT-770 and sony MDR 7506

I got some senheiser hd280 pro on sale for $20 in 2014 when I started messing around with iOS music production. I started getting serious and upgraded to iMac, Logic and some Beyerdynamic DT770 in the 80 ohm version because my interface won’t push the 250 ohm version enough. I have the M-audio air 192/6 interface. In hindsight, I wish I would have gotten an interface that will push 250 ohm headphones. Mine requires 75% volume to get decently loud. And I worry I’m missing detail.

If I get the DT770 PRO's or other headphones to connect and listen to music on my laptop should I get any other device to make the music sound better?

For dt 770 , is the 80 ohm version fine? Will my roland duo capture EX interface properly drive them?

bro what do you think of krk kns-8400?

Any comment on the Audeze LCD-X?

Are the Beyerdynamic DT-770 80 Ohm (Closed Back) good for mixing and mastering?

DOPE

Just out of curiosity I'm looking for high quality headphones that are super pleasant to listen to with high bass. I usually use the ones that sound best to make the song and don't use the flat response until I actually need to mix. I noice that I lose a lot inspiration when using mix headphones to produce lmao. (Like concert quality open back)
