Beyerdynamic DT 770 M

Description

Product information ”Beyerdynamic DT 770 M”

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 M is a closed, dynamic headphone that was specially developed for drummers. Due to its enormous volume and excellent attenuation of ambient noise, these headphones are also very well suited for monitoring PA systems (FOH). Its features have been customised for use on stage or in the studio.

The single-sided cable makes it easier to handle the headphones when they have to be constantly put on and taken off. The earpiece volume can be optimally adjusted using the volume control on the headphone cable. The robust spring steel headband design and high contact pressure give the headphones a secure fit and mechanical reliability, which are essential for everyday use. Soft, easy-to-clean ear cups and the 3 metre long connection cable contribute to a high level of long-term wearing comfort. The connection cable is equipped with a gold-plated mini stereo jack plug (3.5 mm) with 6.35 mm adapter and can therefore be connected to all standard headphone outputs. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 M delivers a natural and balanced sound. Even the lowest bass frequencies are reproduced in a defined and crisp manner. High frequencies are translated into an analytical, clear and differentiated sound that doesn’t scream or screech, even with powerful treble sounds.

”DrumHeads” writes in the 1/06 test

Anyone who wants to play the songs on the DrumsHeads! CD, you should check out the special DT 770 M headphones from Beyerdynamic. The DT 770 M has been specially developed for drummers and FOH mixers, where the volume levels are usually extreme. If you don’t want to damage your ears, you firstly need hearing protection and secondly a really good set of headphones. The DT 770 M is both. The closed ear cups, which completely enclose the ear, dampen external noise by up to 35 dBA (!), making any sound, no matter how loud, quite small and ensuring that nothing can be heard outside, which is important when recording. The strong, padded headband and the soft ear pads, which are even replaceable and therefore no longer a problem even with heavy use, ensure good wearing comfort.

Does it ring?

The volume can be conveniently adjusted using a mini control on the single-sided cable (3 m long). Although the DT 770 M can easily handle the highest volumes without any distortion, this is not necessary thanks to the good external damping. This means you can enjoy the DT 770 M’s rich yet tight sound even at very low volumes. Even the ultimate favourite ”Gift of Faith” from Toto’s CD ”Tambu” is cleanly reproduced without booming. For all those who no longer want to blast their ears with monitor speakers, here are sunglasses for your ears. We recommend it: Definitely put them under the Christmas tree.

Conclusion

The DT 770 M unites high-quality sound with the properties of hearing protection. Not only a good tool in the professional studio, but also on stage and when practising with the DrumHeads! -CD a perfect companion.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 M is a special version of the 80-ohm DT 770 PRO for monitoring in extremely loud environments: it offers considerably more external noise attenuation thanks to a higher contact pressure of the ear cups, a complete closure of the housing and special ear pads – however, these measures lead to compromises in (long-term) wearing comfort and sound quality. The DT 770 M is particularly popular with drummers.
