Digital camera reviews of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80 Closed Studio Headphones
Digital camera Review: A swell purchase for those who must have bass
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start off by saying this is a very good quality pair of headphones. If you are an audiophile, point your snob-infested head somewhere else.
Sound: Coming from stereo systems with room-shaking 12" subs, it is not easy to acclimate to any pair of headphones let alone bass-light ones. That's why I sold my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones two weeks after receiving them. The M50 lacked chutzpah in the lower range of frequencies even when equalized. The Beyer DT770 pro/80s are a different story. The bass is clean and smooth down to 30hz, which is as good extension as any sub, but the DT770 unequalized have very muddy unimpressive midbass with harsh sibilance-filled highs. The simple solution to this problem is to use an equalizer. Equalizing is not the be-all end-all for sound systems, but it is often overlooked. In iTunes, I turned the 32hz and 64hz ranges up about 2db, the 125hz down 2db, 250hz down 1db, and the 8khz down 1db (turned the preamp down to avoid distortion). This basic EQ, makes the DT770 sound very similar to the M50 in the mid/high range, but gives the bass a subwoofer feel. On ipods there are no EQ's like this, but DT770 are mostly for home use in any case. The mids on the DT770 will always be more muffled than the M50, but you can use an EQ to accentuate mids somewhat. The highs, after equalization, are more accurate than any dome tweeter I have heard.
Comfort: I can wear DT770 for 3-4 hours at a time unlike the M50 which were only good for an hour or two.
Value: I got mine used for $80 on eBay, but for $200 new it is worth taking a look at. Two other top contenders in the bass headphones market that I've heard about are the Sony MDR-XB700 ($80) and Ultrasone HFI-580 ($180), which have drastically different sound but hold their own quite well.
