Beyerdynamic DT-1770 Pro Around-Ear Stereo Headphone review

dalethorn · Nov 21, 2015

Another unique and best-of, with these differences: Very near neutral/flat, but not bright or treble-peaky, and bass solid from top to bottom (really). Plus, the best upper-harmonics reproduction I've heard outside of the Sennheiser HD800. Highly, highly recommended.

Thanks Dale. Where do these headphones sit in the Beyerdynamic lineup? I thought that the T1 was supposed to be their flagship headphone and HD800 competitor. I may be wrong of course.

I have heard the T1's, and I am considering buying its closed brother, the T5P. How does this compare to the T1?

The original T1 may be a good bet, especially at the new price. I find it a bit bright, but the quality of the sound is really high. I've been reading about the new T1, and so far it's not good. But they say the original T1 went through many revisions, so who knows? The T5p has been on my radar for a long time, and from everything I've read, the sound of this new DT1770 Tesla 2.0 should be as good or better. Maybe wait for a new T5p. Beyer has made Teslas as small as the DT1350 and T51p, but there the colorations are way bigger than their full-size headphones. The new DT1770 is the most neutral Beyer I've heard so far, and given it's Tesla 2.0, it may be the best thing they have now.

I can agree the DT1770 are excellent and exceed my HD800 in many areas. Definitely worth a listen.

Followup: I got a 1.5m replacement cable (Cardas) made for my DT1770 Pro by Charleston Cable Company, who build custom cables from quality name-brand stock. My requirement wasn't to change the sound, but rather to make it more convenient to carry around. Nevertheless, the sound changed slightly as follows: The midrange gained a little in openness and clarity, the highs above 10 khz became more extended without changing the treble balance, and the bass tightened up without losing strength and impact. I listen to a lot of jazz with upright bass playing, and the tonality and realism of those plucked strings is better than anything I've heard in memory, including this year's sessions with the Audeze LCD2 planar headphone.

Thanks for this - I'm on the look out for a closed can for classical and jazz so your post is extremely helpful.

Good to hear. I've been listening to quite a bit of classical music too - Handel, Bruch, Barber, Grieg, .... lots more. All good.

Well they are cheap enough to give them a run so have bought a pair. I like Beyer's so they should work fine. No doubt very comfortable as all Beyer's seem to be.

Thanks again for the heads up. Really appreciated.
