Used the DT 770 PRO with a FiiO K3 for about seven years before upgrading to the Dan Clark Aeon X Closed.

positive

Switched from the Logitech G Pro X wireless to the DT 770 PRO 80 ohm and is never going back.

positive

Their 250-ohm DT 770 PRO broke, and after hating the PRO X 48 ohm they remain convinced the 250-ohm version sounds better.

positive

Owns the 80-ohm DT 770 PRO and finds it not bad despite horror stories about harsh, sibilant Beyerdynamic treble.

mixed

Bought the DT 770 PRO to replace a Cooler Master MH-751 and was pleasantly surprised, even on old motherboard audio.

positive

Has loved their DT 770 PRO for years; unlike most headphones they do not hurt after hours of wear.

positivecomfortable

On their third pair of DT 770 PRO for bass practice and recording; very comfy and does not touch the ear lobes.

positivecomfortable

Gives an honest consumer take on the DT 770 PRO: not a bad headphone, but similar in sound to the HyperX Cloud II they had.

mixed

Their DT 770 PRO died in under two years, though it had better soundstage and clarity than the FiiO FT1.

mixedbuild quality issues

Finds the DT 770 PRO 80 ohm great in build quality but a bit underwhelming plugged into motherboard audio.

mixed

Had almost exactly the same underwhelming experience with their DT 770 PRO 80 ohm on motherboard audio.

mixed

Has had their DT 770 PRO for over ten years and it is still going strong.

positive

Owns the HD 650 and DT 770 PRO 250 ohm and bonded with the Beyerdynamic, never with the Sennheisers.

positive

Has used the DT 770 PRO 80 ohm for over three years strictly for gaming and finds it decent.

mixed

Coming from Apple EarPods, was wowed by the DT 770 PRO 32 ohm, which feels very well built.

positive

Just got the DT 770 PRO and cannot believe how much more comfortable it is than the ATH-M50.

positivecomfortable

After a week with the DT 770 PRO 80 ohm, finds it a bit muffled and less bright than expected.

negativemuddy

Bought the DT 770 PRO for its claimed durability, but the plastic slider covers totally disintegrated.

negativebuild quality issues

Has owned two DT 770 PRO 250 ohm pairs, 12 years apart, and finds the old one warmer and better sounding.

mixed

Owns the HD 800 and HD 650 but still uses their 250-ohm DT 770 PRO very regularly and loves it.

positive

Owned the DT 770 PRO 80 ohm and finds no closed-back competitors around $130.

positivegreat value

Bought the DT 770 PRO in 2011; the treble peak never bothered them and they really loved the sound until the jack broke.

positive

Two pairs of DT 770 PRO broke within three years each, both at the plastic piece holding the headband on the left side.

negativebuild quality issues

Upgraded from a Logitech G733 to the DT 770 PRO 32 Ω: sounds great but surprisingly similar to the G733, not mind-blowing.

mixed

Bought the DT 770 PRO 250 Ω and then 80 Ω and both sound flat with missing low bass compared to their old Razer and Bose QC Ultra.

negative

Recently bought the DT 770 PRO 32 Ω and is loving it, though the stock cable is a bit short.

positive

Used the DT 770 PRO 250 Ω for over two years; bright treble but they enjoyed it, and it clearly improves with a more powerful source.

positivebright

Got the DT 770 PRO 250 Ω as their first proper headphones and likes everything except the bass, which dominates rock tracks and feels rounded rather than punchy.

mixed

The right side of their DT 770 PRO 250 Ω kept cutting out and died just after the two-year warranty.

negativebuild quality issues

Finds their DT 770 PRO 250 Ω peaky and V-shaped, kept only as a spare closed-back.

negativebright

The DT 770 PRO 80 Ω was their first good headphone in 2020. After years of pricier models (LCD-X, DT 1990, HD 660S2, Meze) they went back to it and found it sounded better than most of them; not perfect, and closed-back isn't their preference, but very close in raw sound for $200.

“Just the other day I went back to my first headphone and it immediately sounded better than 90% of all the expensive trash I’d been testing for years. Is it a perfect headphone? Definitely not.”
positive

Owns two second-hand DT 770 PRO pairs: the 80 Ω one fits perfectly, but the 32 Ω one presses on the top of the left ear even with swapped pads.

mixeduncomfortable

Bought the DT 770 PRO 80 Ω on recommendations but even at full volume from their PC and TV it's barely loud and a bit muffled; considering an amp or a return.
