Premium Craftsmanship and Quality
This is my second pair of BD phones. I purchased the DT880 Premium Edition back in 2021, and was very happy with them. They are semi-open, so they had the advantage of less ear fatigue after many hours of mixing. But the left side suddenly stopped producing a signal and I was past the warranty date, so while I wait for that pair to get repaired, I figured I better find a replacement.I spent several hours researching and reading reviews. After concluding that I am very happy with the weight and fit of the BD brand, I decided to stick with them, despite the premature failing of my previous pair. I went with the DT770 Pro X this time, the closed back means I'll be sacrificing the ear fatigue for a tighter soundstage.I'm a producer/composer and spend about 10 hours every day at my mixing desk. I occasionally use my Adam A5 desk monitors, but end up doing most of my mixing through the cans. But I'm not officially an audiophile, and I'm not that techy, so I won't give specs on frequency range or other details. Suffice to say, these headphones sound incredible. Solid low-end and very crisp, clear highs. My mixes have never sounded better.The BD headphones tend to have a very flat frequency response, so what you hear in your cans is well-represented across other sound sources. Your mixes won't end up colored with too much bass or high mids when you go to do the car test. These drivers appear to be more powerful than the DT880 also, I find I am leaving the volume knob on my interface between 10:00 and 1:00 instead of cranked up to 3:00 as they often were with the DT880. That could be an ohmage factor, though. Like I said, not that techy.My favorite feature of these phones are the comfort (the velour ear pads are supreme. I can't abide the sticky faux leather/protein material other brands use). They are very snug, but don't clamp your head, and the headband has an extra recess at the peak so it doesn't press down on the peak of your head. I sometimes forget I am wearing them.I also appreciate the classic looks of the phones. One reason I never purchased the Sennheiser brand (I do own Sony, AT, AKG and Samson headphones as well), is their odd ear cup shape. I don't want to look like a weird alien has attached itself to my head.The detachable cable is a big plus too. I'd hate to have to replace $200 headphones because a $3 part failed.Someone else mentioned in their review that if someone told them this is what $1000 headphones sounded like, they wouldn't be surprised. I think these cans punch way above their weight and I'll be recommending them to all my home studio buddies.Ver másVer menos
