You are one of very few who tested the Limited edition. The mix of the 700 and 770 caught my attention. Listened to the 990, 1770 and 770 PRO LE. You described the 770 PRO X LE perfectly. I just had to buy them on the spot. Very happy with the purchase so far. Excited to rediscover my favourite songs! Thanks for the review!
Just received some replacement pads I got from you for my dt770s as mine were getting a bit grubby very happy with them thank you!!!!
Thank you .. we need all the sales we can get :)
Tnx mate, I appreciate your work
Glad you enjoyed it ;)
Great review. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks ;)
Just now looking to get into these kinds of headsets. This and your previous video with the "home made" 770 Pro X has definitely made my hunt a bit easier. Now it's between the DT700 Pro X, the new DT 770 Pro X or the Meze 99 Classics or 99 Neo. I LOVE how the Mezes look but the 700 Pro X seem to fit me better in terms of the soundscape I\m looking for. In the end though, I bet that pretty much anything I choose would beat the Logitech G533 that I've been using.
Also I really liked the sound test in the previous video so I was a bit disappointed there was no reveal in this one of how the actual headphones sound vs the ones you made.
I got mine today. Love them so far. These are a an addition to my DT990 250, as I always wanted a close one for listening to music while I'm working. (Cutting myself more off)
Same here ❤
How does the bass compare to your 990’s?
Just watched this video through these headphones 😀I'm so stoked with these, i'm a music-listener, not a music-maker, but to me they sound incredible, especially for the money. Now all that's left is to order one of your custom-cables! I can't decide between a combo of light grey/black to match the ear pads, or just purple 🤔
Choices choices ;)
Hello, the velor ear pads of the 770 pro x are very soft and comfortable but have the disadvantage of keeping the ears too hot. For summer I prefer the feel of leather. I saw that there are 2 models of replacement leather ear pads: EDT 770 S and EDT 770 SG what is the difference between them? which one is better for the 770 pro x headset? Thanks
Once I get my hands on them I'll try them with the Amiron Wireless/TYGR tuning fleece to see if that lowers the 8khz peak. Otherwise really looking forward to these!
It should do... I have been using beyers for years so would probably miss the 8k peak ;)
Interesting comparison between Sennheiser Hd 490 pro and Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro x.Different headphones, but very interesting new products
Listening to this video with my DT 770 Pro 80, Custom Cans V3 mod. Really love them! No need to go for the Pro X then as I quite like both more resolved bass and more present highs (after having used a pair of headphones that produced muddy bass and next to no treble for years).
Really glad you like them
Dt770 pro x is the same. You might be thinking of 700
Looking forward to order those including your balanced mod. Let us know when you ready.
Yes, we should have them on the website at the beginning of next month
I simply love the new Pro X 770. They sound amazing. The richer bass is really nice, and they possibly also sounds a bit warmer in the low mids? (above the 200 hz limit) Boy, oh boy, have I missed this on the old standard version!
Yes they are a nice little upgrade
The BD 700 & 900 pro X series on the other hand are disappointing. The 900 Pro X(semi open back) for example barely sounds that much more open than my DT770's(250 ohm), and the vocals and clarity sound as if they're being masked by some sort of veil. Almost muffled. Went straight back to my DT770's. But i need more volume leeway for certain devices. This is where the 80 ohms DT770 or 770 Pro X(48 ohms) come into play. Ah vhat' to choose. :P
Are you comparing the 770 Pro X to the 770 80 or 250 ohm? Undecided weather i want to jump to the 80's or the new 770 Pro X.
Are the DT770 in the video with the red cables also soundmodded or have you just changed the cables?
The DT770 have the V3 tuning mod fitted and are the 80ohm version
Just buyed the new Dt 770 Pro X for playing electric guitar thru a Quad Cortex and singing songs with a condenser mic ( that's the reason a wanted a closed back headphones too hehe ....). Do you think the 770 Pro X are nice for my purpose??, Thanks mate for your review, it helps a lot 👍🏼
I’ll be slightly similar to you other than I will be playing bass guitar and playing through a preamp pedal.
I’m yet to decide myself
What you recommend to listen to some records on my turntable, connected to the magni, Sundara closed, Meze 99 classics or these?
Thanks
And greetings from Portugal.
I have not tried the meze 99 classic so I am not sure ;)
can you compare the BEYERDYNAMIC 770 pro X limited edition to the AKG K371?
hello eveyone, i am looking to buy some dt770 80 ohm for studio pattern/mixing/mastering.
However, since the L.E came out i am into thinking.
Could you please tell me which is better?
I just bought the normal version like a couple months ago. I wish I waited a little longer.
So it seems the 770 Pro X is a bit more v-shaped than the 770 Pro. It would be weird if they stop producing an improved version of their best-selling headphones. Thanks for your thoughts, measurements and build insights 👍🏼
How would they work with the dt700 front foam disc? Since that disc is thicker, maybe it would reduce some treble, but keep the bass?
Yes, the treble a bit but they may then end up being a bit too bass heavy . I may give it a go tomorrow
@@CustomCans next step of they became to bassy with that disc disc will be internal modding. I have on mine 770 80ohm V3 kit, some felt for treble reduction and 3d printed adapters for 110mm angled sheepskin pads. I love the sound of them, and seeing that the new pair has a similar ring adapter, those moods could transfer to a newer model. God, this headphone is such a sandbox...
@@matija656 Do you mind sharing the source of the 3d printed adapters?
Great stuff man. As always. I'm not so much of a fan of the 770s bass. This version doesn't go in my favored direction either. I'm loving my 700 pro x though. Especially since I swapped the ticker fleece pads for the older thinner foam from a 990s pair, they got more jazzy. :)
I have not listened to the 700 pro x with the 990 thinner foam, I will have to give it a go
@@CustomCans Playing around with these fleece foam is lots of fun. I skip the 700 foam on my 1990 with analytical pads to tame a bit the 9K peek to get the flattest response possible. The Tesla drivers are really next level for me so I had to make the 1990 fit my needs.
How did you fit 990 pads on a 700 pro X ?
@@tanpy_ I didn't swap the ear pads only the fleece foam covering the drivers. The 700s have some ticker ones comparable to Tygr300R that tames the high frequencies more than the older models. Swaping the ticker fleece on the 990s also works to tame a bit the peek at 9K. :)
With the supposed wide soundstage of these 770 pro x, could you recommend them for gaming. I’m using 560s rn my first open back but I hate all the bleed and can hear it back through my mic sometimes. I just need the soundstage for gaming footsteps and I do like music as well.
That’s probably cause you have a condenser microphone they pick up way more noise but also change the setting in game on microphone sound sensitivity those hd560s are incredible for gaming man I have those and the hd800s trust me there not far off in gaming
I don't really do any supposed gaming and have not herd the HD560 so can't really compare ;)
I play Hunt:Showdown (all based around audio cues) and I am really happy with the performance of DT 770 PRO 32 Ohm, I got DT 990 32 Ohm as well and the closed version is just overall better. Just ordered 770 PRO X and I am looking forward to test them. Gotta let you know... :)
@astralcomet1 So, I got the DT 770 PRO X's (48 Ohm) on Monday and I was pleasantly surprised I could drive them louder on the same audio setup than the DT 770 PRO 32 Ohm. For music I like the X version more than the original, but during gaming I was completely lost in the terms of where even the shooting comes from.
If you want to have a proper coinessance of the sound sources in the space, I would recommend putting leather/synthetic cushions on the DT 770 PRO X's instead of the velour ones, that's what I did with mine. I did swap the earpads between the 770's and it works like a charm. If you don't want to spend more money on addons, I would recommend you to stay on the original DT 770 PRO *BUT* I would now (with the knowledge) go for 80 Ohm version.
Also they are closed so no noise bleed into your condenser mic. I have dynamic mic and even there was a noticeable sound bleed from 990's.
TL:DR: DT 770 PRO X + Synthetic leather cushions = gaming eargasm
How is the contact pressure in comparison to the DT770Pro? I cant wear them for longer than 60min without feeling cracks in my skull.
They have the same headband and pads so they are roughly the same
I have the 900 Pro X wich are good. But.... i need some closed Headphones.
I use the Headphones also on my Smartphone with the Pro X USB C Kabel.
So the 770 Pro X are what i need.
With Your Video here, i'm sure and i orderd one.
Today is the bin Day, i can use them.
Thanks for the Video, helped a lot.
Glad it was helpful
@@CustomCans I use them now and wow, what a Sound.
For Mixing the 900 Pro X and for listening the 770 Pro X.
Beautifull Choice
gonna soon try and get DT 770 pro 80 ohms
been using gaming headset for a long time and all of them broke from long term use
some headset sound quality was average to unacceptable like steelseries arctis 3 that im currently stuck with
and the best headset i had was hypeX cloud alpha and the only reason i got them cause i wanted something with bass and they were takstar pro 80 clones
didnt got the rebranded takstar pro 82 cause i heard the durability has issues
im starting to get sick of gaming brand headphones and i want something that sounds godly but can survive the apocalypse without costing a fortune
Yeh - studio headphones tend to be built to last. Rockstars and DJs party much harder then most gamers so they have to be tough ;)
I wonder how many cables they include mate ? Like the 700x has 2 cables 1.2 and 3 m . Thx
It is just one with these
Compared to my older DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm the Pro X has more exciting sound for me. I revealed more detail in the treble range dispite the higher 4-8 Khz boost, and the bass punch is especially tight, fast and strong.
The plastic bags on the cable/bag are probably for the warehouse storage, to prevent warehouse dust getting on them. Warehouses are insane for dust.
Yeh that could be it. Sennheiser have started replacing a lot of the plastic bags with paper wrapping so that may be the future
@@CustomCansEven Lego plans switching plastic bags to paper ones.
The amount of unnecessary plastic wrap in any form these days is just crazy.
Yes - I have had some lego sets recently that came in paper bags .. really good idea
WOW this is what I was looking for when I try modifing the 700, I Knew it, It is possible to have a thiner foam and increase the stage and brightness and mid/highs sharpness. I am sad you never tried to mod the 700 pro X because they sound really good and when changing that thick foam they drastacly change. But now I dont think I will spend more money with headphones, considering I have de same drivers, I will stick with it, but NOW I Know they can work with a thiner foam. AH AH, you say the manufactors sometimes modify they products inspired in your chanel? Now I think they made this limited edition inspired on the coments I made lol. Still looking forward for a mod for the 700 pro x man!
I am curious If I could make the holes on the back of the drivers my self, as they did in the limited edition? That makes all sense because they will be more brighter then they need that extra 80hz bass to balance it out, should I try or will I permanently damage my drivers?
You can buy that part as a spare- it may be safer
europe.beyerdynamic.com/system-cap-pro-x.html
@@CustomCans Great thanks, really nice to know that. But unfortunatly looks they dont ship this items to uk... i guess its too risky to try then, because the back cups are diferent shape between the 2 models, so I am not certain it will work. I am enjoying a lot the sound having changed the filter in the front of the drivers, and also the foam inside the ear pads to a thinner one so the sound overall its more close to the ears.
Guess I could make a post called "The Glorious sponge cloth mod for the 700 pro x" lol...
I would encourage anyone to try it, and it only takes 3 min to put everything back to normal if needed, and see how crystaline this headphones can sound, though with the drawback of having less bass (but still very present!), loosing the V shape signature, and to be listened at not so loud volumes, otherwise the highs can be very harsh.
I'd like to get a 4.4 Special Edition ones, they are not on the site yet
I will get them up on the site next week hopefully
Ordered, maybe it'll be good if you include the bass reducer adapter thingy, thanks so much 👍🏻🍻
Which one would you pick between these and closed sundaras (50$ cheaper) ?
It is totally down to personal prefference. I have both on my desk this week and I think I prefer the 770 Pro X overall but the sundara closed has incredible bass
Thanks !@@CustomCans
@@CustomCans After I just received those I can attest that dt 770 pro < Sundara CB < dt 770 pro X !
Which one would be best for immersive movie watching and gaming?
I think it would be a little bit down to personal preference but personally I would say the new 770 Pro X as they have a wider sound stage
@@CustomCans thanks for answering!
Dt770 pro sound very natural for TV, but the k371 will have more fun with heavy bass and Forward vocals, but not as natural
Imho, decent headphones. Not what I expected. Yes, slightly muddy bass. Still, as far as sound quality, I prefer my Audio Technicas.
Hello I was just wondering how I send headphones to you. I couldn't quite work it out on the website. Thank you
It depends on the model and what you want doing to them. If it is beyerdynamic mods... This is the link you need
customcans.co.uk/shop/product/beyerdynamic-detachable-cable-mod/
@@CustomCans okay thank you. Do I pay for them, then send them or is there anything specific that I do
@@louiejordanthemusefanboy2091Hi, Yes, You pay for the service through the website and then, ideally, print off a copy of the order and include that in the box when you send them in
@@CustomCans okay thank you. One more thing. It says clean them and take the pads off. Do I put them back on once there clean or not include that in the box
@@louiejordanthemusefanboy2091Keep the pads and stick them back on when you get them back
How would u compare ultrasone signature x and 770 pro x in bass department and being "fun" to listen?
Thanks for the review btw.
I have not had a good listen to many ultrasones unfortunately
Can you do a tutorial for changing from 3 pin to 4 pin?
Yes we can ;) I will try to get one done early next month
Is it better than the 700 pro x? I would use it for movies and gaming. Thank you for your help in advance!
I think it would be down to personal taste - they are both good but the 770 pro X will be brighter with more treble and slightly better sound staging
@@CustomCans Thank you for your answer! I'll go with the dt 770 pro x then. This is going to be my first audiophile headphones :)
It has the widest soundstage of the closed-back DT family
Yes, the sound stage is surprisingly good on these
@@CustomCans Which is better in soundstage, the DT700X, DT770Prox, or DT770 Pro, and is there a big difference between them? I hope you can help me and thank you.
@@MML66 if you read the 2 comments above, that's literally what they talked about
given this is 48ohms, how does this compare to the 770 pro 250?
I have done the calculations and I would say that they have 202 fewer ohms ;)
They are much easier to drive so will go louder then the 250 ohm ones when used without an amp. They they should quite different but that is not down to their impedance really. The 250 ohm ones are much brighter - more trebel and less bass than the pro x
Please let me ask, DT 700 Pro X or DT 770 Pro X, which one do you think is better?
Is the dt770pro limited edition DURABLE with 48 Ohm steller driver? Comparision to dt770 pro 80 Ohm? Someone commended DT700 pro X with 48 ohm steller driver that :" over 1 year, the left phone stops working". Thank you
My DT770 Pro (250) fell down on the floor and unfortunately one driver died - broken little voice coil wire :( so... it looks like DT770 Pro X LE would be an upgrade (?)
That is super unlucky - they are normally pretty hard to kill by dropping them. Yes the DT770 Pro X should be a nice little upgrade
@@CustomCans :) Thanks for your answer. You said "little upgrade", could you advise me what would be a bigger upgrade;) I heard that DT700 Pro X are not necessarily better, bass hump, veiled sound... (some conflicting opinions) They cost almost same as Dt770 Pro X where I live, 20 quids more.
@@CustomCans but maybe V3 mode should be even nicer upgrade? I am afraid 770 48 Ohm may sound to bassy and not as detailed (?) My fav sound is HD600 with Sonarworks eq and 3dB hi and low shelf.
are earpads for the 770 Pros compatible with the new 770 Pro X's?
Yes they are interchangeable -
@@CustomCans Oh, that's great, thanks! Guess I'll be ordering them soon then for my bday!
How do they compare to the 490 HD’s?
Hmmm.... They are quite different - the HD490 have a flatter response
Are you going to be stocking these?
Yes we already have a batch getting ready for the official launch
@@CustomCans What is your feeling regarding they being limited. You think they will be hard to get after a while?
@@panengworldwide5758Because of all the investment they have done designing and producing parts for them I suspect they won't be super limited. I don't know but as they are 1924 - 2024, I suspect they will still be selling them until the end of the year. Then if they sell well they will probably do a non limited version with different branding
Its the same cable as the 700 Pro X.
ALRIGHT PEOPLE! ... I will write it down because everyone only sees the rainbows and puppies with this 770 PRO X, and no one is telling the truth about sound quality.
I am a big fun of the old DT 770 Pro (especially the 250 ohm) and had high expectations with this "Limited Edition". I waited like 3-4 months then finally got released in my country. I bought one (on my own money).
In short, I didn't like it and will return it...
The sound is more closer to the DT 700 X with added spark on the top + a big boom on the low end. For a studio monitoring headphone this sounds way to bass heavy to me. The mid range and the vocals sound weird and resonating/ringing, while they are also distant and artificial. I tried loads of tracks, but after a few minutes I just put it down... I didn't enjoy listening music on it at all.
You won't find the engaging and wide sound of the original DT 770 Pro here. Sometimes the sound even felt boxy and unnatural with much emphasis on the bass.
To my ears these headphones just too different from the original, and do not understand how Beyerdynamic could name these as "DT 770 PROs".
It is not a bad headphone by any means, but it has nothing to do with the originals.
This is an EQ-ed DT 700 X with a more comfortable design. By the way, I disliked the DT 700 X too because that was way to flat and uncomfortable.
After trying a few recent Beyers I realized that,the new Stellar 45 driver has no soul in it. Boooring as heck and It's hard to imagine anyone enjoying it for a long term.
The DT 770 PRO X sound signature in pair with similar headphones in the same price range so it won't stand out from the crowd. I would even say that the sound tuning is close to the Audio Technica M50x, so pretty much V shaped with scooped mids. You can decide if that's a positive or negative thing...
I am deeply disappointed...
I do like the classy design and build quality, but this won't be my favorite and I will reach back to the old one, 80 or 250 ohms versions.
This situation feels like a classic movie remake with a different actors for the today"s "standards". Not always necessary or true to the original.
The new Stellar 45 driver is powerful that's the only good thing with it.
Personally I don't like the direction that Beyer took with these new line of "studio" headphones. 😢
I prefer the sound quality of the Audio-Technica headphones personally
it seems like 1770
Can you compare the two?
I am not sure we have any in stock at the moment. The 1770 has better quality bass but the treble is a bit harsher from what I remember
@@CustomCans Thank you for your answer!
Is there a stage difference between the two headphones?
How resistance are these? 80, 250, 600 ohm?
These are 48ohms
Is the dt770pro limited edition DURABLE with 48 Ohm steller driver? Comparision to dt770 pro 80 Ohm? Someone commended DT700 pro X with 48 ohm steller driver that :" over 1 year, the left phone stops working". Thank you
Golden ears??
Someone butch better at listening and describing the sound than me
That piece of plastic needs to be there because the parts are stored for much longer then the headphones and would get dirty or dusty
Paper could be a good substitute in the future as that will keep the dust off or just blowing them with compressed air before you stick them in the box
