The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is a closed-back studio headphone from Germany with replaceable components.
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro has been a staple in the studio and broadcast world for decades.

The Right Impedance for Every Setup
Beyerdynamic offers the DT 770 Pro in three impedance variants: 32 Ohms for mobile devices and laptops, 80 Ohms as a universal studio setup, and 250 Ohms for use with professional studio equipment requiring ample amplification. If you're mixing on the go or directly on your computer, opt for the 32-Ohm version, which provides sufficient volume even without a headphone amplifier.
Closed-Back Design for Focused Monitoring
As a circumaural headphone, the DT 770 Pro isolates external noise well, making it suitable for recording situations and loud studio environments. Beyerdynamic employs an innovative bass reflex system that shapes the model's sound.
Robust, Repairable Construction
Beyerdynamic relies on replaceable ear pads and an adjustable headband construction for the DT 770 Pro. The company describes the padding as
“soft, circumaural and replaceable ear pads” as well as a “robust, adjustable headband construction with soft padding.”
This repairability makes the model a long-term investment for daily studio use – one reason why the DT 770 Pro has remained a standard tool in many control rooms since its introduction.
