Perfection after all?
What can I say about this sublime DT-770 Pro from Beyerdynamic?
It's simply perfect, I've got the 250 ohm version and I don't know if everything I'm going to say will necessarily be reflected in the other versions available!
To begin with, let's talk about the packaging, because it's the first thing you see when you receive this product. As they always say, it's the first impression that counts. Black box, sober photo of the helmet on top. When you open the box, the headset sits on a diagonal support that keeps the headset in place and protects the supplied cable, which is more than long enough.
To continue, in terms of use, I plugged the headphones into a Focusrite Solo mini soundboard and the jack plug fitted perfectly (there's no Jack -> USB adapter, so be careful when you buy them!) After plugging it in, it worked very well straight away (perfect transition in terms of comfort). It adapts very well to the shape of your head, the ear cushions are very pleasant and easily take the shape of your ears, and the top band is very flexible and you don't feel it during use.
Let's talk about the sound, the headphones do the job perfectly, the closed version reduces ambient noise quite nicely, for bass and treble, I'm no expert but in any case the sound is very very good, to be seen on other uses.
To finish, if I have to give this headphone an overall rating, I'd give it a good 8.5/10, the points it loses are on price and accessibility. Today 149€ is still expensive for a headphone that came out in 1985 (yes, it's getting old for a headphone), but for accessibility, the 250 ohm version will need to be plugged into a sound desk for sufficient power to be sent to the headphone, compared to the other 80 ohm and 24 ohm versions, which will be sufficient on a classic jack socket. I'd definitely recommend it!
