Product Information

Full details

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm headphones are designed for audio professionals and critical listening enthusiasts seeking precise monitoring in studio environments. Their key benefit is exceptional acoustic definition and spatial reproduction, offering a controlled low end and clear highs. A caveat for potential users is the high 250 Ohm impedance, which may require a dedicated headphone amplifier for optimal performance with some audio sources. These closed-back, circumaural headphones feature velour ear pads for comfort and passive noise isolation, making them ideal for mixing, mastering, and detailed audio analysis.

FAQs

Do I need a headphone amplifier for the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm?

Yes, it is highly recommended. The 250 Ohm impedance means these headphones require a stronger signal than many portable devices can provide. A dedicated headphone amplifier will ensure you get adequate volume and the best possible sound quality.

How do I clean the velour ear pads?

You can gently clean the velour ear pads with a slightly damp cloth. For a deeper clean or replacement, carefully remove the pads following the manufacturer's instructions (usually found on the Beyerdynamic website) and clean them by hand with mild soap and water, then allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.

Is the cable detachable?

No, the cable on the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm is permanently attached (hardwired) to the headphones.

What is the difference between the 80 Ohm and 250 Ohm versions?

The primary difference is impedance. The 80 Ohm version is easier to drive and may not require an amplifier, making it more suitable for direct connection to computers or mobile devices. The 250 Ohm version offers higher fidelity and detail but necessitates a more powerful audio source or amplifier.

Are these headphones good for gaming?

While the DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm offer excellent sound detail and isolation, their primary design is for studio monitoring. For gaming, some users prefer open-back headphones for a wider soundstage or headphones with built-in microphones. However, if your focus is on detailed audio and you can manage the impedance, they can provide an immersive experience.

What is the warranty period?

Beyerdynamic typically offers a warranty of 2 years on their professional audio products, but it's best to check the specific warranty terms provided with your purchase or on the official Beyerdynamic website for the most accurate information.

Troubleshooting

No sound or low volume

Ensure the headphone cable is securely plugged into the audio source and the adapter is correctly attached if needed. Check if a headphone amplifier is required for your audio device and if it's properly connected and powered on. Test with a different audio source or cable if possible.

Distorted or crackling sound

Verify the audio source is not the cause of distortion. Check the headphone connection for any damage. If using an amplifier, ensure it is functioning correctly and providing adequate power. The 250 Ohm impedance may cause distortion if the source cannot drive them properly.

Uncomfortable fit

Adjust the headband for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the earcups are properly positioned around your ears. The velour ear pads are designed for comfort, but if discomfort persists, consider replacing the ear pads with a different material if available and compatible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional sound clarity and detail for critical listening.
  • Comfortable for long wearing periods due to velour ear pads.
  • Durable construction suitable for professional studio use.
  • Effective passive noise isolation.
  • Includes a 1/4" adapter for versatile connectivity.

Cons

  • 250 Ohm impedance may require a headphone amplifier.
  • Closed-back design can cause some warmth during very long sessions.
  • Cable is not detachable, making replacement more complex.
  • Sound signature is analytical, which may not suit all listeners for casual music enjoyment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connection: Connect the 3.5mm jack of the coiled cable to your audio device's headphone output. If your device uses a 1/4" (6.35mm) jack, screw on the included adapter.
  2. Amplification: Due to their 250 Ohm impedance, these headphones may require a dedicated headphone amplifier connected to your audio interface, mixer, or amplifier for optimal volume and performance, especially if your source device has a low-power output.

Compatibility:

The DT 770 PRO 250 Ohm are compatible with any device featuring a standard 3.5mm or 1/4" headphone output. However, to achieve their full sonic potential, connection to a competent headphone amplifier is recommended.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the earcups and headband with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ear Pads: The velour ear pads can be carefully removed for cleaning or replacement. Consult the Beyerdynamic website for specific instructions on pad removal and installation to avoid damage.
  • Storage: Store the headphones in a safe place, ideally in their original box or a dedicated headphone case, to protect them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
