beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X Closed-back studio headphones with STELLAR.45 driver for recording and monitoring on all playback devices

I've tried all different headphones over the years. I had Grado's a few years back which had amazing sound quality but were uncomfortable to wear, but these have arguably better sound quality and are comfortable enough for long sessions. Honestly, buy these and you'll never need a pair of headphones again. Pair them up with a decent DAC and you'll be set for life. Sound quality is phenomenal and the padded ear cushions are a god send. They come with a large cable and a short cable, but the short cable is more than enough. They're really sturdy and made really well. They can be slightly tight when you first put them on but they loosen up eventually. Worth every penny.

Sound - 5 There are probably 3x price headphones that sound better, but I have never had the chance to use those in a regular setting. They can get uncomfortably loud without distortion (if you choose to do that to yourself- I use them as speakers in a quiet room), which is a sign of quality. Bass, mids and highs are all present and have their own space. Speaking of space, I am no audiophile- it's said an open back creates a more detailed soundstage, but I will always prefer closed back, and I don't feel like I'm comprising, because of the next point. Listening to music on these headphones compared to my previous DT770 Pros or my ATH-M50xBT2 (used for commuting), I can hear subtones and occasionally entire instruments I never noticed previously. This is such a satisfying experience I can't give lower than a 5. Comfort - 5 This is a light headset. Not too hot, not too much pressure, all while fitting securely. You can dance badly with these on and they won't show any signs of coming off or causing discomfort. Serviceability - 5 I don't know of more modular headphones for the price, and given the build quality, it's likely the component most frequently needing replacement are the ear cups due to contact with the head. Even then, the new earcup design introduces more separation than the DT770 Pros and as a result there is next to no detritus after 6 months of daily use. Price - 5 Calculated from the other factors- I usually get much more critical of price as soon as I feel like I'm having to sacrifice something. I simply have no complaints with these headphones.

How do you listen to music, and what relationship do you want with it? These headphones major on detail and neutrality as they are purposed for critical monitoring and mixing in studio environments. Which is not how I use them. They are plugged in to my smartphone via a little AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt DAC for enjoyable music listening, mostly at home. Comfy. Lightweight. Closed back isolation. Easy load to drive. Not exactly discreet but you could take them out when you travel, because you are a discerning listener, less concerned about what they look like, and more interested in how they make your music sound. Right? And how is that? Very accurate, detailed, revealing, allowing you to listen right into the mix, stable, composed, good separation and soundstage, nimble. They put out what you put in, so don’t expect them to smooth over badly recorded, over compressed, or poorly mixed content. The better your source the better they sound. Always a benchmark for good audio gear. Initially they take some getting used to. First, some time is needed for them to break in, despite what the manufacturer tells you about “ ready out of the box”. However break in time is a lot less than many other audiophile components. Leave music running through them overnight at a reasonable volume or better, one of those wide frequency range burn in cds that have all sorts of blips, peeps and rumbles on them. Done that? OK, so where’s the bass? It’s all there, but not boosted so that it interferes with other frequencies. That might put some off, as might a certain sense of detachment. These Beyers don’t get you on stage with the band. Instead you are further back in the auditorium, right where the guys on the mixing desk are sitting. You are in the correct place, listening to everything that’s going on rather than abandoning yourself to shaking your stuff right down at the front. That’s how they are designed. To monitor. Whether you consider this a drawback depends on how you like your music served up. I’d say don’t be put off. I’m loving them, and your music will sound great once your ears and brain have adjusted to the differences. Be patient and you will get your reward. Well designed, easy to wear, robust, replaceable parts, well priced. Proper bargain.

Geweldige hoofdtelefoon. Goed geluid, schitterend design. Alles voelt premium aan van verpakking tot aan hoofdtelefoon.

私は、モニターヘッドホンをリスニング用として使用して音楽を楽しむのが大好きでして、ベイヤーダイナミックDT700ProXを実際購入してみて、めっちゃ良かった。外国YouTube動画を字幕で観ていて、レビュアー達が、「正しい」とか「正しい音」と、こぞって表現していたので、どんなものかと思い購入しました。ふわふわのPadも、イイ！何が良いかって、レザーPadの様な変な反射音がない事。音分離が際立ちます。毛布みたいな、ふわふわなPadなので耳にも優しい。ベイヤーダイナミックDT700ProX実際の音の印象は、まず、音が綺麗。でヴォーカルも、歯切れ良く聞こえますし、伴奏がヴォーカルのほんのわずか前側で鳴って、曲全体的にリスニング用途だと、バランス良く聞こえ最高です。特に素晴らしいのは、ドラムとベースの音が誇張してなくて、ドラムやベースらしい、しっかりとした音がします。ベイヤーダイナミックが現在の音楽に合わせ開発したモニターヘッドホンだけあって、楽器の音数が多彩なAdoさんの楽曲とかは、ベイヤーダイナミックDT700ProXは、得意みたいですね。モニターでも、リスニングでも楽しめるヘッドホンだと思います。

It's dangerously comfortable, I forgot that I'm wearing it, and almost drag my laptop to the floor. It's recommended to buy a DAC amp with dials for EQ balance. The headphone is loud enough when directly plugged into laptops' 3.5mm jack.

Its a very good set of headphones I ever own.

I recently went on a mission to find a great set of headphones for editing videos, monitoring my voice on occasion, and listening to music when I want to work late while everyone's sleeping. I don't want to buy multiple headphones for different applications. I'm no audiophile, but I do invest in quality audio components because I appreciate and enjoy great sound. I know what I like, but I can't necessarily tell you why. Kind of like wine. My journey took me through three models, ending with the DT 700 Pro X. If you're interested in what I tried first and how they stack up to the DT 700, I'll include some brief thoughts. First Up: DT 770 Pro Being new to studio monitor over ear headphones, I did a ton of research. That took me to the DT 770 Pro. I appreciate the detail, you can hear all the nuance. They would have worked great for my professional application, but listening to music just didn't "do it" for me. They are sure comfy though. Oh, and while it shouldn't matter, I really don't like how they look. And that permanently attached cable is so long... Next Up: Focal Listen Professional Some more research led me to try the Focal Listen Professionals... They look and feel great! And I actually enjoyed listening to music through them a bit more than the DT 770s. Probably due to the better bass response and lack of that harsh high end on the 770s... Yet I didn't love them, especially for the price. And man, those were so uncomfortable! I don't have big ears, but they contorted my ears in a way that I just couldn't stand for more than a few minutes. And Finally: DT 700 Pro X They feel great in the hand, are just as comfortable on me as the DT 770, and I love that they have a detachable cable. Although, I thought one of the cables would be coiled but they were both straight. I bought a coiled one immediately because I enjoyed that aspect of the Focals. The sound! They have all the detailed goodness of the DT 770 but with deeper and stronger low end and a more pleasing high end. The first track I listened to made me smile. That's how you know you got it right. And most importantly, they look great. ;) I have no idea how suitable these are for true audio professionals beyond what I've read (supposedly they are). But if you're a bit like me and want a great set of headphones that will bring out all the detail of your music or video recordings while also providing a very enjoyable listening experience when you're not working, these win. Totally worth the price of admission.
