Know before you buy
The artificial leather pads provide a tighter seal that enhances bass response and isolation, while the velour pads offer a more breathable, natural sound profile that is often preferred for long mixing sessions.
While the DT 1770 PRO MKII features the updated TESLA.45 drivers for better efficiency, its 250-ohm impedance means you will get the best performance and volume levels when paired with a dedicated headphone amplifier or a high-quality audio interface.
The closed-back architecture provides excellent passive isolation, making these a reliable choice for tracking in a studio environment where you need to prevent sound leakage into your microphone or block out ambient room noise.
While they are engineered for the precision required in professional monitoring and editing, their detailed sound signature and comfortable fit make them a great choice for audiophiles who prefer a neutral, accurate listening experience.
These headphones utilize a detachable cable system with 3-pin mini-XLR connectors at the ear cup, allowing you to easily swap between the included 3m straight cable and the 5m coiled cable depending on your workspace needs.
Yes, they are designed with plush padding and a circumaural fit to distribute weight evenly. However, at 377 grams, they have a substantial, premium feel that is built for durability rather than ultra-lightweight portability.
