Audiomania expert verdict
A studio classic in closed form: the 80 Ω DT 770 PRO is meant for recording and monitoring — 18 dB isolation, velour pads, a 3 m straight cable. By rule it needs a desktop amp or an amplifier's headphone output (1.42 V for 110 dB); for a phone or a player take the 32 Ω version. The one engineer-owner: “very good for comfort during recording”.

In brief
Best if you are looking for:
- closed monitoring while recording — “very good for comfort during recording” (an engineer-owner); the 80 Ω version is meant by the maker “for recording sessions” AI draft, under review
- noisy surroundings — a closed design, 18 dB attenuation, “good isolation” AI draft, under review
- a fixed spot by an amplifier or an interface — a 3 m straight cable and a 6.35 mm adapter AI draft, under review
- long sessions — memory-foam velour pads, 270 g; “comfortable… I would not call them heavy” AI draft, under review
- those who “buy what they know” — a studio classic, “among the most reliable in its class” AI draft, under review
Keep in mind:
- 80 Ω and 96 dB/mW — by rule a desktop amp or an amplifier's headphone output is needed (1.42 V for 110 dB); a phone may be too quiet; for portable use the maker offers the 32 Ω version AI draft, under review
- not for pushing hard — an owner notes “slight harmonic distortion in the lows” when driven; power handling 100 mW AI draft, under review
- the cable is fixed, 3 m, one-sided — not for the street; the 32/80/250 Ω versions are separate items with different cables AI draft, under review
- for a home system with a Yamaha A-S201 the specialist recommended the 32 Ω DT770 PRO, the ATH-M50x or the DT 700 PRO X AI draft, under review

Technologies and construction
Closed design with 18 dB noise attenuation
What it is: Closed housings of anti-resonant plastic with internal damping; 18 dB attenuation (80 Ω).
Practical benefit: Monitoring while recording without “acoustic feedback into sensitive microphones” and listening in noise; owner: “good isolation”.
Bass-reflex ports
What it is: The cups have bass-reflex ports; 40 mm drivers, 5 Hz – 35 kHz.
Practical benefit: “Extends the reproduced low-frequency range” (description).
Steel headband and memory-foam velour pads
What it is: A steel-plate headband in a removable leather cover, height adjustment on sliders; removable velour pads with elastic filling; 270 g.
Practical benefit: Longevity and comfort over long sessions: the pads “sit snugly yet very comfortably”, come off for cleaning, replacements (EDT 1770D) are sold.
Three impedance versions with different cables
What it is: 32 Ω (1.6 m straight cable), 80 Ω (3 m straight), 250 Ω (3 m coiled) — separate items; this card is the 80 Ω.
Practical benefit: Exact matching to the source: 32 Ω — portable, 80 Ω — recording, 250 Ω — mixing (the maker's recommendation).
One-sided 3 m OFC cable and a 6.3 mm adapter
What it is: A fixed 3 m one-sided oxygen-free copper cable in tough insulation, a gold-plated 3.5 mm mini-jack; a 6.3 mm adapter included.
Practical benefit: Long enough to reach a rack or an interface; fits both 3.5 mm and 6.3 mm sockets.

Великолепно.

Удобные, качественный звук, хорошая звукоизоляция, не сказал бы, что тяжёлые. Рекомендую.
Геннадий Ш., Усинск · 2025-11-16Excellentverified purchase
Приобретаем то, что знаем. Закрытый мониторинг в студийной работе. Не для раскачивания сигнала - будут возникать небольшие искажения гармоник внизу. Для комфорта при записи - очень хорошо. Отдельное спасибо Александру Ниязову за профессиональное содействие!
Audiomania expert opinion
The DT 770 PRO has lived in studios for decades — “among the most reliable and best-sounding in its class”, used “by music lovers and sound engineers alike”. Bass-reflex ports extend the bass; the steel headband and replaceable velour pads survive years of work; EDT 1770D replacement pads are on sale. AI draft, under review[5]
Pick the version by the source: 32 Ω for portable, 80 Ω for recording, 250 Ω for mixing. For a home chain of Yamaha A-S201 + SMSL DL100 the Audiomania specialist named the 32 Ω version (alongside the ATH-M50x and DT 700 PRO X); the 80 Ω one asks for a desktop amp by rule.
