In this video I review the Beyerdynamic DT700 and DT900 Pro X headphones. Enjoy! Product Links: www.beyerdynam... www.beyerdynam... www.beyerdynam... #beyerdynamic #musictechhelpguy #headphones
If you don't mind hearing any outside noise, I think the open back are the most pleasant of the two. If you want to avoid background noise, use the closed back. You'll also get a little more bass response from closed back.
Very good review, I just got a pair of 700s.. I do like them.. coming from some Yamahas MTs , but my main goal here is to mix.. and I do like the bass response. But I just need to try those 900s!! I think they will make a difference over the 700s
I just got the dt 900 pro x can't wait till they come :) I have the dt 770 pros they have been faithful and I use them to track, mix and master but one thing I would say about the 770 the treble can be a bit to sharp especially with modern hip hop vocals already having that high vybe going but I converted it to detachable balanced cables and also dampening kit made a huge difference love the Beyer brand amazing truly amazing
Started using the DT 770 Pro lately, the model with the built in 99 dB limiter. After using Sennheiser HD650, I'm impressed, but also like them as well. The limiter has saved my ears on occasion if things get inadvertently loud, like slipping with your mouse on a gain plugin. Very comfortable to wear with the same fabric, great mids, slightly lacking bass, which improves if you cup them with your hands. Closed back headphones are great for tracking to reduce bleed.
Thank you for this, I’m just in the market for a new pair of cans and just cannot decide between three options. DT700 Pro X, Hi-X55(60) or AIAIAI studio version. Just to point out I don’t need heaphones for mixing, just as much enjoyable listening to a wide variety of music as possible. Any advice? Thank you.
Open back headphones are essential if you are going to mix headphones at all, especially with the newer spatial audio in DAWs. I use the Sennheiser HD600 and they are as great as people say they are.
I've owned some 770s for 10 years, still work and sound great! But I think I like the sound of the DT700s more. Although, I like the sound of the DT900s even more than either of them, but if you don't want your sound to be audible outside the headphones, you probably won't want the open back version. I will say that for $149 the 770s are pretty great sounding, if you're looking to save a few bucks.
Personally id go with the 700’s the high end is too high, and sharp on the 770’s and I am quite sensitive to that. The 700’s also requires less power to drive so you don’t have to worry about an amp if you don’t have one. I’m not sure for gaming but I trust the 700’s sound for mixing a lot more especially without that harsh treble spike and cleaner bass. I also really like the removable cable, and the new sleek look.
My current primary use is mixing and mastering. I currently own a pair of DT 770 250 Ohm cans and just purchased both the DT 700 and 900 Pro X's to compare them. I literally just opened the boxes, compared both pairs to my 770's and boxed them back up followed by initiating the Amazon return for both pairs within 20 minutes. They don't stack up to the 770's in my honest opinion. Especially for the $300 price tag. To my ears, the mid range on these things is pretty unbearable. It totally washes out any recognizable low end that's there and while the 8k treble spike is missing from them the clarity you get out of the 770's in the bass and top end is not even in the same ball park with these newer models. I know everyone's ears are different and we all have different preferences when it comes to how we perceive audio, so if you're curious definitely purchase both pairs and try them out. Your ears will guide you. I personally am going to spring for another pair of DT 770's but may go for the 80 Ohm version as I was looking for a little more bottom end than what the 250's produce. Hope this helps. Best of luck in your search!
@@DomCiaccia Every pro ive ever seen discussing mixing and mastering audio using headphones has said go with open back. Theres obviously a reason they say that. If you can do it well with closed backs,, good for you but you didnt even give it a try mixing with the 900s so im not sure how credible you opinion is here.
😭 I want to buy dt900 pro x but I'm not really an audio engineer and I find it hard to justify spending $300 for something I'll only use when watching movies or playing games 😅. Help
So why do you want to buy it then? There are cheaper cans out there that sound fantastic and less geared for mixing that would be better suited for you application. The sony md7506 and Philip's Fidelio x2hr are very affordable and sound great.
