The amazing part about DT770s if the ease of part replacement. Mine are over 12 years old and I've replaced just about every part at least once, a few twice. Things just wear out. It is super easy to order a replacement part and disassembly/installation is a snap. I find the headphones super comfortable and don't find a detachable cable to be an issue. Great industrial design with these headphones.
@@moodymud well not *easily replaceable, you will need a soldering setup after ordering a replacement from Beyerdynamic once the cable gives out or your dog chews threw it
Yeah too bad it's not easy to replace the most important part: cable
Can you help me with where I can find a right side speaker system 80ohms for DT770 Pro?
@Leia Headphones get a lot of wear and tear by everyday use. It is expected that these parts will have to be replaced from time to time.
Great review! 👍🏻 Thanx a lot. Just a tiny little remark from a native German: "Beyer" in the brandname "Beyerdynamic" is pronounced like "fire", not like "layer". I hope it is clear what I mean 😊😇.
Excellent video! Thank you, Jeremy.
Glad it was helpful!
I had to return the 770's. Way to harsh , even on material with a dull high end profile. Much better soundstage then the 50x, but the 50x hit more like studio monitors. The kind you have to know and work to get the mix right in which is what I needed. Such a great upgrade from the song 7506's I used for years. Nice vid.
i sold mine , m50x is way better and also i like in head sound of m50x , its amazing
@@didnotgiveafuck Even though the soundstage is a little cramped compared to my Senns 560S and senns drop 58X, they are the best speakers on your ears phones I have every had. Especially the lower end detail compared to the mids. Tellxs you what's foinf on. I can even put together a track on them and there's very few adjustments I have to make when going to the monitors. Probably has something to do with how fast the audio is hitting your ears or something. 2 pairs of the 50x, both blue editions. Great phones. And affordable.
Very detailed and interesting comparison video. Good job brother 💥🤝
Thanks Sharon!!!
I have both. If you are getting headphones for on the go connected to your phone get the m50x, if you are at a desktop with a dac and amp get the dt770s. Sound quality is hard to judge because it comes down to personal preference but IMO the dt770s sound quite a bit better when properly powered compared to the m50x's in the same setup. That said they both sound great and when I'm on the go I prefer the m50x because they are just more ergonomic because they have different cords and are easier to tuck away when not in use due their rotating/folding ear cups.
Hey, you have the DT 770 Pro 250ohm version? Could you recommend a cheap AMP or DAC that support 250ohm and I can afford to buy? I'm starting to lose it.
@@Bargo. there are many cheap dac amps like Fiio KA3, Shanling UA2/UA3, Xduoo Link2, Hidizs S9/S9 Pro, Audirect Beam 2s, Hiby FC3 etc.
What if I want to use them on the go and at my desktop setup as well,which one would you recommend?
Thank you so much, this comment really helped me
Three solid choices & an honest assessment. Refreshing compared to the salesmen rampant on forums & YT, who hype the latest & 'greatest' (expensive) models. After the hype dies down & they move on to newer models, you can often find bargains on older models. I prefer the comfort (my big ears prefer bigger cups) & sound (after EQing for more bass) of the DT 770 pro, but may eventually try the Sundaras after the hype (& price) decreases due to newer models being pushed.
quite an objective review, thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
m50x has more fun sound good punchy bass with a v-shaped sound signature.. good for edm and pop songs, the soundstage is not wide, perhaps too confined. dt770 pro also has v-shaped sound but a more detailed, more flat, neutral sound. but doesn't mean that it can't produce good punchy lows, it can replicate m50x's bass with eq. it also has a wider soundstage. also dt770 pro have a sharper peak in the highs, typical beyerdynamics that can be unpleasant but I love bright headphones, it brings more detail in songs, sometimes I can hear instruments and sounds that I would not hear with the m50x. so dt770 wins it for me.
Dt770 appear detailed because it shovels that piercey treble in your eardrums, but any detail I hear in dt770 I hear in 30$ superluxes Evo without hurting my ears as dt770 do. Details are there to be detailed not thrown at you wiry fuol force while bass and vocals are subdued in 770...
You clearly understand what studio headphones arw for
@@martinkulik9466 Any suggestions for a better sounding open-stage set with good lows for no greater than 400 USD?
I found M50's too muddled and closed, VModa M100's weren't bad but also too closed for me. My favorites have actually been MAudio Q40's with lowend EQ boosted, great clarity, open sound and much cleaner and even more bass than the M50's once amplified... They are the closest I've found to having the open-staged clarity of, for example, the AT AD1000x, but still having a powerful lowend. Looking for the next step up...
i had both , dt770 pro 250ohm was not flat , was too sharp in high frequency and really annoying , fortunately m50x solved them all
I have no idea what anyone is on about in comment sections in these types of videos. i cant make a decision at all. headphone shopping is terrible.
Get the Beyerdynamics! You will never look back!
@@EdwardSmithMusicHi, if I'm using these headphones mainly for streaming music from my phone (so 32 ohms), which headphone do you recommend?
Some people in the comments said the ath mhx50 sounded better with the lesser impedance versions
@@EdwardSmithMusic but you rated the audio technicas higher?
@@Davo198 Both are really good. I personally don’t think one is better than the other… ultimately they are just different. I use both of these headphones on a daily basis and love both… if you can go to a music store and have a listen for yourself, I think you will then find the right fit for you.
@@EdwardSmithMusic could you tell me if the Beyerdynamics are too big for a smaller head? are they significantly bigger than the ATH m50x? i feel like all the reviews i've seen are from adult men so i'm afraid it'll be too big for women
Amazing video bro 😍😍
40k giving away is coming
feeling Exited
Finger crossed 🤞🤞
I had the M50s (undetachable straight cable before they released the M50x) and they were uncomfortable after a couple hours of use. I tried many different earpads and still had discomfort. 5 years after heavy use, the right hinge broke and then the left hinge broke a year later. I “fixed” them with super glue. On the 7th year, the left hinge shattered into tiny bits.
After giving up on my M50, I switched to the DT 770 80ohms and I like it a lot. I like the sound detail a little more in the M50. But the 770 has what the M50 is missing: comfort and soundstage. I can wear the 770 for hours without any issues.
I never tried the M50x so I don't know if there is much improvement.
I'm currently looking to replace my 5 year old M50X (extensive daily use) and have been looking at the DT 770 32ohms for two reasons, both of which you listed, soundstage and durability. I love my M50X, but just this week I had the second hinge go on mine, the first went a year or so ago, and like you mine are now both superglued. Also the pleather coating started going at about 2.5 years, with both the original earpads and the headband going on to shed heavily until all the pleather was removed. Lastly, and least, the original straight cable I got that I've used this whole time is starting to show separation at one end, arguably they're still perfectly functional as I still had the spare cable to swap out. Also, I use mine primarily for PC gaming, and honestly the soundstage is pretty poor with the M50X, directionality is actually pretty solid for stereo headphones, but everything sounds pretty close to your head.
Mate that build rating on the 770 should be 5/5 because you can replace everything on that pair of cans. From driver to the headband everything can be easily replaced. They were made that way for maximum reliability.
Being a M50x user, I give this one to the DT770 Pro. The headband will flake (after 5 years of use) and can't be replaced. Same goes for the hinges. I'm getting the DT770 Pro after both the headband and hinges gave up after more than 7 years with my M50x. I feel like I'm mostly going to miss the detachable cable and the folding design tho.
Quick question, I'm not familiar with headphones but I've often heard the headphone wire is usually the first part to go. How easy is it to replace the wire?
@@_Dingu with the 770/880/990 the cables are built like tanks. Ive had the 770 for a few years already but ive never had any issues with the cable. I also have a 710 (about 7 years old) and the cable is still as good as it was new. Now do take note that i have a lot more headphones and my 770 dont get that much use. Theres a reason why some people still use a 1980s version of the 770/880/990 with only replacing the headband and pads.
@@_Dingu I got my pair this week and I confirm, the cable is buff. About 1.5x bigger than your usual headphones. There's a video on youtube on how to replace the cable, it looks hard but def not impossible, I recommend you watch it. But I wouldn't stress over the cable breaking.
@@Cobaltickle mine broke lmao
Most people I've seen rate the DT770 Pro far above the ATH-M50X in pretty much every way. But it does have the downside of a non removable cable. For a set of headphones which seem to be designed with repairability in mind it seems odd not to have an easily removable cable. The cable is always the thing that breaks for me and I vowed not to buy headphones without replaceable cables again but I've got more experience with soldering now, and I've just ordered a DT 770 Pro. I figure if it ever comes to that, I'll solder in a 3.5mm jack myself and they'll be perfect.
everything else can be changed , even the cable if you know what to do.
Cheap easy mods you can get better bass reproduction and also a better mechanism of mini xlr to trs or trs in and out Jack's depending on your preference and it makes the 770 way superior over the m50x which I hate they are not comfortable at all and I know you can change the ear pads but head band is the worst plus the retractable part is so annoying if you aren't using them as a portable device
Thanks Edward .. ❣️This video was a wish from everyone ❤️
Thanks man!!
@@EdwardSmithMusic anytime man ...I love your videos...
I've been meaning to have my dad buy the M50Xs for himself since a while, he's a bass player and wants to produce music on the laptop. It will be the best option in that price range for monitoring his type of music. That and the new cheap Behringer/M-Audio interfaces might be a good way to get started back into music.
If you look on Amazon there are tons of people buying replacement pads for the AT-M50X headphones. They only last a year or so. People are complaining that the replacements alter the sound pretty bad. So keep that in mind. I was thinking about trying them out but I said forget it. Earpads peeling and leaving black pieces of covering on your ear only 6 months of use...? Then trying to find decent replacements only to have them not sound right? Fuck that.
What I didn’t like about the m50x is that over time, the material covering the headphones cushions began to strip & flake. And it wasn’t a use issue/ wear and tear issue. I actually had those headphones just laying around at home for years because I was so busy working over the road. When I finally got around to using it, the flaking had already begun. It’s still usable. It just sucks having to pick up the flakes that scatter around. I kinda want it to just completely strip itself. It’s unsightly but it wouldn’t be so messy anymore.
Fingers crossed. Nice video man
What are TOP 3 high-end wired headsets with microphone do you recommend? This is going to be mainly for online teaching. I am currently using Logitech Pro G X. I am happy with it. But I am looking for something better. I could use a separate headphone and microphone and interface, with this option, what do you recommend?
Aaah love your effort ✨❤️
Thank you 🙏🏻
I was just about to order the DT770 pro, although i changed my mind, due to budget cut. They are perfect for my Cinematic musicI will follow you on here, as i dont have Instagram!
So what did you buy?
You are going in wrong direction.

@@ginacupi Me the 80 OHM 😊.
Edward, you nailed this comparison as i was looking to replace my Audio-Technica with these DT770s. Do you recommend another pair to have better sound quality than the Audio-Technica? Thanks.
try hifiman sundara
It's about comfort and sound. I have both headphones, and I disagree strongly with your comfort rating. IMO the DT770 is much more comfortable for long sessions, & as for sound, you said yourself that the DT770's have a better spatial spread when monitoring. This is much more important. If you want to listen to music with enhanced low end etc.. get a standard pair of headphones. I agree about the interchangeable cables. If the DT770's had that then you wouldn't even need to compare the two as the DT770's are a no brainer..
I bought the DT770's with the focusrite scarlett solo, and for some reason I don't get enough volume. What would you suggest I should do?
@@sebastianhinestrosa5829 I suspect you have the 250 Ohm set. If so then the focusrite might not have enough power in the pre amps to support 250 Ohm's. I'm sure if you had the 80 or 32 Ohm set you would be ok. I have the 80 Ohm set and it works fine on my PreSonus 24c audio interface.
@@navypti I do have the 250 Ohm set. I bought them before knowing the difference between 32, 80 and 250 Ohm's
@@sebastianhinestrosa5829 Therein lies your problem. I bought the 80 Ohm's for that reason. They are the "middle of the road" option. Not as good clarity as the 250's but better than most others. Good luck with it all.
@@sebastianhinestrosa5829 just get a good headphone amp. The 250ohm are great just get a headphone amp and you will be sorted.... You still made agreat choice...

Thanks man!!
Nice video .. Edward Smith .. I choose DT770 😁😁
i got both! Love em!
We want a mixing vocal tutorial it would be great sir!
Have a look at this video - czcams.com/video/QqvTrMZm35k/video.html
Both are great,definitely as far as from what i've heard from reviewers,dt770 has a better soundstage and immersive subbass and that is my preferred sound that i wanted.
But istg,that unremovable cable is a deal breaker for me.
Hollow dettached narrow bass without body. Enjoy. Dt770 biggest bandwagons andost didsappinted headphones I bought due to crowd recommendations. Big mistake.
You can find a detachable cable mod on Etsy I think. I found it from Reddit after I thought about getting these a while back. Then you can use pretty much any cable you want.
@@martinkulik9466 hi, What would you recommend?
@@braille5575 literally anything but dt770. I don't understand why ppl buy them. I have them in the box. My least favourite. They have no proper wide bass, they have shrill highs that hurt my eardrum. Have to put them on sale. Any headphones from 30$ superluxes, any 100-200$ sennheisers, or even those new AKGs over those hyped up beyerdynamic shits. I have 80ohm version btw, but it's literally ear hurting sound. So I am flabbergasted why these CZcamsrs recommend them...
Great video! Are you interested in TWS waterproof speaker reviews?
Useful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
very good comparison video
No... ATH M50x are NOT comfortable at all! I have had ATH M50x since 2015 and I've recently upgraded to DT 770 Pro 250ohm just because I couldn't stand the headclamp force and the ear lobe pain after 1 hour. ATH M50x are very heavy, clamp very hard, and the ears are not fully encompassed. They pinch the earlobes. They're especially uncomfortable for people who wear glasses (like me).
After getting DT 770 Pros I realized how important comfort is. Having a detachable cable is a mere convenience feature, but many people fall for that and buy M50x instead of DT 770 which are a superior pair of headphones in terms of comfort, build quality, durability and even sound clarity and bass. DT 770 are just all round better.
my ears don't gel with the M50x sound, it sounds mediocre for the price to me, but elsewhere all over the web, they are ridiculously recommended and over hyped
Afterall it depends on the persion, I've been using M50x for 6 years now and had no issue when it comes to comfort. Yes they are not the greatest, but manageable. You can replace your pads with 3rd party one. It does make a difference.
@@pastilance1 Yes I did try replacement earpads from brainwavz hm5. But they changed the sound too much. It became tinny and thin. I went back to stock pads.
@@VamsiMohanKrishnaVadrevu nah, the way to go are third party equivalents of the ATH pads off of ebay or aliexpress
There are no such pads under Brainwavz brand.
could you tell me if the Beyerdynamics are too big for a smaller head? are they significantly bigger than the ATH m50x?
I love this comparison! Great job Edward
Thank you so much!!
Not mentioning that the DT770 Pro is available in 3 different ohm ratings makes this analysis incomplete. The 32 ohm version can be driven with a phone, whereas the 250 ohm version will need an amp. Potential buyers need to be aware of this.
Love your Headphone comparison. This will definitely help those who are stuck between the two. Keep up these bro. Love the comparison videos.
Thanks man!!
Nice one brother 😁👍🏻
Thanks ✌️
The dt headphones are my favorite love this vid ed👌👌🎧
Thanks for watching Keanen!!
There mine too
amazing video
Glad you think so!
Most awaited.
Oh My ! I don’t have Instagram. I just follow you at CZcams. No chance to have the prize. Anyway Nice Review Bro! I like th both in a different feelings bout music.
DT770 Pro for the win!! :)
hello, for Btr5 Fiio Dac/AMP , which model DT770 pro would you recommend? 80 ohm 250 ohm 32 ohm ?
I have both. They just sound different. The M50x has a stronger low end but the 770 (32ohm) has a more accurate one. The 770 has a wider sound stage. The 770’s make “s” sounds sound sharp. I listen to the 770’s more but that might just be because they’re more comfortable.
I have tried the DT 770 Pro in both 80 and 250 Ohm. Recommended them a few times to happy recipients who prefer listening to music like Jazz or Classical Music.
But because you feature the 250 ohm Model ... it is so important to exclamate to only get the 250 ohm Variant when coupled with a good Headphone Pre Amp.
On all mobile devices and most motherboards (except a rare few) you will hear barely nothing with the 250 ohm Variant.
But they do sound still so slightly better when coupled with a good headphone amp. The 32 ohm Variant is for you if you insist on these headphones but mostly have weak mobile device outputs or similar. The 80 Ohm Variant is the most versatile but will have low peak volume on weaker mobile outputs.
Also tried a few Sennheisers, Sonys, Koss, Bose and Bower Wilkins Headphones just to mention a few that are either a popular choice or really good on their own.
Notable mention... the Koss Porta Pros always amaze me as a compact on Ear Headphone.
But back to those two legendary Headphones ... i just bought my third pair of M50s ... my second one beeing the BT2 Variant ...which truly sounds like it is indeed wired... if you use LDAC 960kbps.
So for the BT2 Variant: Stay away if you intend to use them with an iPhone or Android without LDAC 960 support. They will sound as dull or even worse than a pair of Ear Pods Max.
My original pair of M50s was now 14 years old and i have used it at least a few hours every day... at home, on the go ... just always.
Why did i replace them for a new pair of M50 (in the M50x Gunmetal variant :))? Because they sound so much more fun... they work for films, also Jazz and Classical Music ... although the sound stage is not nearly as wide as on the DT 770 Pros or the DT990 for that matter and the clarity is also not as defined.
But exactly this clarity is for my preferred types of music too much, too airy,... i love that DnB, Techno, Rap and Trap or any type of EDM sounds like you are in the club.
Huge Speaker style bass, nothing distorted, nice but tight soundstage that can become quite a bit wider with the proper recording.
This btw. also makes them quite useable for fast FPS Shooter Games... positional audio is still decent while explosions sound like real explosions.
"Airier" Headphones like your typical Bose or Sony NC Premium headpones, the DT 770 or the good sounding but very fragile Premium Steelseries Headsets do not reproduce mids and especially low frequencies quite as punchy but still not overexposed like the M50 do.
Back to my final Audio verdict as i drifted over to why i also like to use them for really everything else.
I like my audio clean, neutral and undistorted but still dirty, so when the fat baseline hits, it really hits you.
So i have the peace in mind that i do not care if i listen to Simon & Garfunkel, Lil John, A$AP Rocky, The Prodigy, John Spencer Blues Explosion, ELO, Justice, Die Antwoord, Dj Shadow, Slipknot, Trampsta, Massive Attack, Dj Fresh, Autechre, Chicago, Schoolboy Q and whatnot... it all just sounds so right. Not only clean but also fun.
Mind you the DT 770s will manage to play quite a few of these Artists just fine too,... but take the song Bassline Junkie from Dizzee Rascal ... the bass will not "be buzzin" on the DT 770 Pros ...
so that is definately a song that sounds just weird on the DT-770 Pro.
John Spencer also sounds in general nicer on the M50s although the DT770 also do a good job but they do create a different experience for the listener.
So if you want a "always on" wide soundstage with pristine separation (perfect to dissect every single instrument track) and brilliant treble ... go get the DT 770 Pro´s ... they do feel more comfortable and a bit more premium.
But i just cannot quit the M50s ... they sound so much more fun to me and when i need some bangers instead of the 4th coffee... the DT 770 just do not cut it.
Comfort was a problem in the end with my 14 year old ones ... but both new ones feel really nice.
At the very first day i should have given the Headband a little strech as the fit will hurt after a few hours if you have a rather big head like me.
Now a few days in this does not bother me.
Quite curious ... the Earpads from the BT2DS Variant are quite noticeable softer and feel really nice throughout a 10 hours office day (Mic is really really good for Teams and i can dual pair my phone and notebook).
Still the M50 Earpads will be comfortable enough, even for longer sessions as long as they are fresh, be sure to replace them as soon as you feel the inner cup putting pressure on your ears.
There are also quite a few high quality after market earcups available for the M50s ... but that sounds like a research of its own which i have been too lazy to do yet.
Kinda regret buying the M50x cuz they super bassy and the ear cups ain't big enough they always snag on my ear piercing bruh🤦🏾♂️but they sound good for listening or recording vocals but i wouldn't suggest for mixing IMO I'm about to invest in the DT's
AKG K553 is better for mixing, DT770 for tracking vocals (or mixing after you EQ it), K702 for mastering and fine-tuning compressor settings
I'm planning to buy a pair of studio monitors and my option is between Alesis alevate MkII and Vault C5 so what would be your opinion...your answer will be of great help
For the price, the Elevate 5 MKII are unbeatable!
@@EdwardSmithMusic Okay then i'll go with the Alesis...thank you and am grateful for your opinion💪🏼🙏🏻
DT770 is the one for me.... I wanna get those ones... But can't cuz it's out of my budget 😒
You ever get em?
Exaclty thats it! Mod them this way by inserting any audio-jack and you'll be fine with them for the rest of your life - or as long as there are spare parts for the dt 770. Notice they build them since 1985!
And hey you can mod them for example to version M (with higher noise isolation) or anything between with the leather earpads and the stiffer metal-bracket.
You can get any sparpart from cables to drivers for something between 5 - 15 $ except for the driver itselfe - i think its about 40-50$/part.
May you and your DT770 🖖😊✌
I'm going to put some drivers from old earphones into one of my peltor ear-protectors xD 🤪
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x - 38 Ohms or
Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO - 32 Ohms ?
For listening to music on a smartphone, which ones do you think are better and which ones are more resistant to breakage in the long term?
Will 38 Ohms for a smartphone sound better or worse than 32 Ohms in general?
Great review with a good analysis of these two headphones.
So if I’m recording vocals in a Daw would the Beyerdynamic 80s be good?
DT 770's have stood the test of time..
I think people sleep on how capable the M50x drivers are and how easy to eq it is. I instantly improved the neutrality and soundstage by adjusting the frequency response to match the AKG K712 using the Rtings measurements. The soundstage is so much better and the bass and highs are more tamed and it brought out the mids really well.
what I always find lacking in these comparison videos is the sustainablity of beyerdynamics products. Although I haven't had this particular headphones, I've had two IEMs by them and they both were defected in less than a year, both by their cables. looking at the cable situation on DT 770 Pro is just giving me anxiety as well; Specially since the Audio-Technicha's have replacable detachable cable.
Great video.. I have to disagree about the comfort and the sound quality (but this depends on what you use the headphones for) The DT770 is waaaaay more comfortable and suitable for long use which is great for mixing...They do have a greater clamping force but the cushions are so comfortable you can hardly feel it..I wouldn't say the same for the ATH-M50X as I always feel like removing them after about an hour or 2 of use. As for sound quality, the ATH-M50X has exaggerated lows which are great for casual listening but in comparison to the DT770 for mixing, not great. Having used both of them for the last few years I'd definitely go with the DT770 for studio and wins hands down in terms of comfort and sound quality
Hooked directly to my macbook pro for mixing audio on Premiere Pro, will I get enough volume ?
@@laurenthenry For the 250 ohm you'll get decent loudness at about 75% of your mac volume (As in you wont wanna go higher than that coz it will be comfortably loud enough) I use the 2016 Macbook pro 13" and haven't needed an amp to push it
Good but that lack of bass in 770 worries me more than comfort or sound stage spatial surround. Other reviewer confirmed it that he too can't stand lack of bass... Same with me and earphones I had always bass most important...so enjoy your tin can comfortable surroundish 770 and I rather go for less comfortable less sound stage but more beat, bass and juice in m50x... I wish I can test them tho
Bro which one should I buy for making Melo dub tracks? Because I am too confused 😭. And also I need headphone which I can wear for long time because I produce for long time.
Neither of these are mixing headphones. They're not designed for that
Would the 250 ohm work with Audient iD4 MKII USB-C Audio Interface?
The problem is that you put a RAW graph for DT770's but you put corrected frequency response for the m50x.. On RTINGS dt770 actually look flatter than m50x.. I recently got dt770 250ohm because my m50x started falling apart and they are great
They sure don't sound flatter by any stretch, lol
They suffer from a bigger 10kHz peak and far more upper midrange and lower treble boost. Nothing that EQ can't fix, though.
DT770 is a little higher fidelity and much better built. ;)
I need a decent closed headphone. The dt770s would be great.
I need this rn :
If it's for the value, I'll go for the DT770's. Yes you've changed my mind here, Bro. Looking forward working with those Headphones if i win those. 💯 Goodluck everyone and yessss finally a new video🙌🏻💯💯
Which of these would be best to use for in ear monitoring?
Beyerdynamic 💪🏻
Which one of them let more Sound Go out when you waering it? (Not in my ears, i‘m talking bout the Sound That goes outside to the audience i‘m sitting next to) 🤔😊
Probably the ATH-M50x
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you so much!
I have m40x and DT990 .I plan to buy the DT770 .
For edm m50x or dt770?
It's the M50X for me! 💪🏻
which one is better for gaming? like cs:go
DT770 ❤
I already own the m50x, im curious if its worth it to also grab a pair of dt770s, im curious on headphones with a better Soundstage and overall used for mixing
It’s definitely worth it to get the DT770 Pro 💪🏻
Nice fam
Thanks 💯
Hi, Edward 👍🏻 I'm Planning to buy Lenevo Legion 5 Ryzen 7 4800H Gtx 1650ti
For Music Production Recording Vocals, Acoustic Guitars, Mixing Mastering, and release it on audio stores like spotify,etc
I have the scarlett & at 2035 I hope at2035 is better than akg p420 😂
do you think there will be any problem with plugins, recording sound quality etc just because I will be using Amd Ryzen 7 4800H etc?
I think everything should run perfectly. Just keep everything off your laptop and saved on a External Hard drive, but otherwise you should be more than okay!
@@EdwardSmithMusic yes cool Thanks👍🏻
I have the DT770's, I loved them. My wife took them though lol. She said I can upgrade. What closed backs would be a good upgrade from the DT770's for gaming and music?
Dont let ur wife push u around$(@$
Why are you asking this guy? He knows nothing about headphones.
@@surfe531 I don't. I love giving gifts, and she is a person that is really hard to get a gift for that she really likes. She really likes my DT770's. So I was more than happy to let her use them. However, a little after I posted this I noticed Shure makes some closed back headphones. My wife is big time into music and a pretty accomplished musician (used to sing for Disney and other on stage things) and she loves Shure. She has always used their gear. So I surprised her with some Shure SRH 840's and she not only loves them, but she gave me back my 770's. So I'm good now lol
@@rodneyspears4308 hi...did you have the 80 ohms or 32 ohms version? can the 80 ohms be used for casual usage without any amp/dac? thanks in advance!
I have these two for more than 3 years, I think I can comment on it. dt770 can take lower bass, I'm a bass fan, while m50x will have distorted sound at that low level. m50x is easier to drive. m50x has 3 cables, so I used one for my drum setup. Other than that, dt770 has slightly bettern sound quality.
and the dt770 is so more comfortable ....... no ?
@@ChrisBessy yes . Unbelievably comfortable. I can wear it for around 3-4 hours then rest for several minutes
I have just ordered dt 770 pro 80 ohms version....but i'm really having a hard time with these. Sound is coming from somewhere back of my head. Dialogues seem to be coming from far away. Maybe I'm used to my sennheiser earphones which pump aound directly in my head. Will it get better with time? I'm really sad and stressed.
@@shubhamyadav8484 I have some guesses. 1) 80 ohms has lower volume depends on your audio device (some cannot drive it well. You might need an amplifier. Try borrow one or try in a audio shop. I recommend fosi audio Q4 or amps from Fiio) 2) dt 770 has a wide sound stage that shows sound from different directions. That's actually a good thing. To answer your question, these sound characters won't change much over time.
@@seattledude2022 Thank you for replying. I have ordered ifi hip dac 2.
How much difference will it make apart from the volume increase?
The thing is noone talk about amp dac or sound card go with headphone
Godddd... I hope I win that DT 770 pro😭😭
The build quality of audio technica are really bad (I bought 5 of them) that I decided to never buy them again. They always break withing 6 months. The sound is great! The sound of the 770 was awful in the beginning but after a couple of months using them the quality of the sound became excellent, same like the build quality just awesome! ❤️
what is the best for mixing !!!
I would go with the DT 770 Pro 💪🏻
250 ohms is not to Connect it to a interface, 32 ohms is more for interface, Cuz with 80 ohms or 250 ohms i would recommened you using headphone amp and a good one. Same with dt880, those to you need to use 32 ohms for interface to Get the best out of it.
Nope. Just do some research, the M50 clamp force is very strong, and it will hurt your ears. Many many users say that, and there's a ton of aftermarket earpads that try to make up for that, but most people say you lose some bass when you update to a bigger earpads. So on the comfort side, DT770 Pro is much more comfortable. I also prefer the sound on the DT770, but I guess that's a bit subjective.
I have both and the only reason I'm keeping my M50 is because I got the bluetooth version, and the battery is awesome! I can go over 1 week without recharging.
Really, a week!
I am thinking to get one, since my main purpose is to pair it with my phone and the mic is crucial for me, even though comfortable is also important.
I think I will go with MX50xbt as you do.
Thank you for your insights.
@@totem168 I am not sure if there's a built in mic. The mic might be only on the cable. Try to double check that.
@@xxxgabaxxx I just check it up, yes it also built in with mic, so even though you're using Bluetooth, you can still can use the mic, but I think the mic on the cable will much sound better.
Thank you for the reminder, I am really appreciate it.
I see a lot of people saying that the sound quality of bluethooth headphones is never the same as wired headphones. Do you think the BT version of the m50x sounds different from the wired version?
i love my DT770 Pros!!!!!!!
The Beyerdynamic earpads eventually squish a bit with use and you get more subbass and less upper midrange boost than when fresh out of the packaging box. This process doesn't take long. Meanwhile, the earpads of the M50x harden and crack instead. The DT770 earpads will yellow as folks don't bother washing them with laundry detergent, by the way. Lastly, the DT770 is better built.
Thanks for clearing my query!! I had m 30x for the past 3 years and the pads started to crack open
@@adityanegi9024 Chinese ear pad sellers on eBay and Aliexpress offer better-made versions.
Thanks for you insight. Have you washed your earpads? Do you need to remove them for washing?
@@scpjmartin electronics shouldn't get washed, pull the pads off and wash them - if ATH pads, wipe with Lysol wipes or such
If you feel insecure about removing them safely, there are youtube vids that will show you how they are attached, it's fairly simple user-friendly
@@Jason75913 Thanks. I was referring to the DT770s. Are those about the best you can get without having to invest in an amp.
1:59 are you making a fucking nuclear reactor i have never seen a screen just completely full of tracks with no gaps anywhere... how much RAM do you have???
audio technica all theway up
i currently have both.
Comfort DT770pro
Sound wise for me i prefer the 'high end' clarity from the ATHM50X. DT770pro seems abit 'bassier' to me.
What one would do u prefer overall / what one would u recommend? I’m deciding between the 2 rn
The problem I had with a different model Beyerdynamic was how loud it went before distorting, most only have a 300mW driver, I know sensitivity is a big part of the equation but the M50's have a 1,600 mW driver, if you like your music loud I'd go for a M50. I sold my M50's a few years ago only to order another pair. I know the sound quality isn't great compared to other headphones I have but the bass is very hard to beat at the price point of the M50's, great for gaming and some music types.
Of course that DT770 > M50x, but M50X is cheaper, because DT770 needs some more expensive Dac/Amp like Aune T1.
Not the 32 or 80 ohm version...
@@xxxgabaxxx Still the brighter Dac/Amp is not the best solution, so the cheapest option is Topping or Ifi - about 120$.
Btw 32Ohm version is not a good choice - it sounds completely different and worse than ath.
@Franco 32Ohm DT need to be connected to Dac/Amp too. Otherwise they sound like crap.
@@Mulu_ig do i still need a dac even i plab to connect it straight to mu interface? TIA
I could stop watching this video after he says better sound quality is for ATH-M50X. 😁 All this comparison is based.
👍👍👍 I pray I win the M50x 😁😆😄

Done following! eyzace ig
Done sir .....
And love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤️
Can you pls check out Moano headphones
Which one is good for guitar amps?
I bought the beyerdynamic 80 ohms. Returned immediately. My old KRK 6400 sounds way better imo. Just ordered the M50x
I made the same error and I think is related to the 80 ohms is ends up lacking of power. I have both and I prefer the M50x, but I would have to test a 32 ohms some day to see if that was my mistake as well
And which one is better?
When u gave a 4 out of 5 to the dt770pro what is 5 than? :D btw 80ohm version is even better
I hope I could win that
Because my headphones have broken and no money to buy that
Hopefully I win that🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Which is more comfortable in bed (listening before sleep)?
👍👍👍
you haven`t said anything about the impedance
DT770 all the way!
man Im glad I watched this....LOL
Totally disagree, you hear more what you doing in the mix with dt770 than audio technica, you hear more of everything, the audio technica is easy for the mix to become to little clearity mixing and mastering songs in them compared to dt770 pro where you can hear more and get a better mix. The bump in the low is terrible.
You can’t hear the speakers through audio technica, so it sucks for monitoring.
The comfort on audio technica isn’t good either.
Dt 770 pro or dt 880 pro is the way to go for more accurate sound and accurate mix, what you want as an engineer is to have 100% accurate sound to it and good quality so you will get the same results as Kanye west or other big artist out there.
You wanna get the best quality and everything and you wanna hear low, mid and high in details and you want the headphones to be accurate so it helps you with the mixing.
The audio technica doesn’t provide that at all.
It works for recording, not monitoring and not mixing and mastering of songs.
Even with it bass?
@@Mope333 you need all the 3, beyerdynamic dt770, dt 880 and the audio technica.
@@Mope333 when it sounds good in all of the 3, it is gonna sound good everywhere with the speakers, so it sounds good in the speakers and the headphones with speakers on your head and download acapella from rihanna or Kanye or Justin Bieber so you can compare it up against those mixing and mastering accapella.
@@Mope333If you only mix in audio technica and it doesn’t sound good on other headphones or your speakers. Then you getting tricked by the headphones.
@@flavormusic523 okay what if I have Yamaha HS7 for mixing and mastering and use the ATH M-50’s for just listening, mixing the low end And also have a treated room plus bass traps (No foam) ? Is that all good?
