Style: DT 700 PRO X Closed-Back Studio Headphones
I recently went on a mission to find a great set of headphones for editing videos, monitoring my voice on occasion, and listening to music when I want to work late while everyone's sleeping. I don't want to buy multiple headphones for different applications. I'm no audiophile, but I do invest in quality audio components because I appreciate and enjoy great sound. I know what I like, but I can't necessarily tell you why. Kind of like wine. My journey took me through three models, ending with the DT 700 Pro X. If you're interested in what I tried first and how they stack up to the DT 700, I'll include some brief thoughts. First Up: DT 770 Pro Being new to studio monitor over ear headphones, I did a ton of research. That took me to the DT 770 Pro. I appreciate the detail, you can hear all the nuance. They would have worked great for my professional application, but listening to music just didn't "do it" for me. They are sure comfy though. Oh, and while it shouldn't matter, I really don't like how they look. And that permanently attached cable is so long... Next Up: Focal Listen Professional Some more research led me to try the Focal Listen Professionals... They look and feel great! And I actually enjoyed listening to music through them a bit more than the DT 770s. Probably due to the better bass response and lack of that harsh high end on the 770s... Yet I didn't love them, especially for the price. And man, those were so uncomfortable! I don't have big ears, but they contorted my ears in a way that I just couldn't stand for more than a few minutes. And Finally: DT 700 Pro X They feel great in the hand, are just as comfortable on me as the DT 770, and I love that they have a detachable cable. Although, I thought one of the cables would be coiled but they were both straight. I bought a coiled one immediately because I enjoyed that aspect of the Focals. The sound! They have all the detailed goodness of the DT 770 but with deeper and stronger low end and a more pleasing high end. The first track I listened to made me smile. That's how you know you got it right. And most importantly, they look great. ;) I have no idea how suitable these are for true audio professionals beyond what I've read (supposedly they are). But if you're a bit like me and want a great set of headphones that will bring out all the detail of your music or video recordings while also providing a very enjoyable listening experience when you're not working, these win. Totally worth the price of admission.

Style: DT 900 PRO X Open-back Studio Headphones
I got to say that I really like the general aesthetics and fit of Beyerdynamic headphones. What I didn't like about them in the past was their lack of detachable cables and the very bright tuning. I'm glad to say that Beyerdynamic has fixed both of those issues with the DT Pro X headphones. The cups are deep enough that my ears do not touch the surface of the drivers inside. One thing to be aware of, if you're not used to headphones with a lot of clamp pressure, this pair can feel overly clampy. It took me about a week to get used to it. Some people will argue that an oval shaped earcups are better but I really like the round ones. As long as your ears will completely fit inside, I find them very comfortable. With the round earcups, I find more flexibility in placing the headband on top of my head without affecting the fit. When worn for hours on end, I find most headphones will start creating a hotspot on the top of my head. I need to adjust where the headband lands on my head by rotating the earcups around my ears. With oval earcups, this will obviously affect the fit and seal. Round earcups do not have this issue for me. Comparing the DT900 Pro X to the DT700 Pro X, the 700 definitely has more bass but the 900 has a more open sound. I bought both not necessarily because of their differences in sound quality. I bought both because I have different needs regarding sound isolation. I typically prefer open back headphones but in a shared home office, there are plenty of times I really wish I had a closed back pair for when I really need to block out noise. Having said that, I'm finding that I'm really preferring the 700 for casual listening because of the bass. I'm not a bass head and I generally really prefer a flat sound profile but the bass on the 700 just sound so good. It is tight and not boomy. That's not to say that the 900 is lacking in bass though as the bass on the 900 is quite good as well. I've been using the Shure SRH1840 for the past 10 years. It was never really my first choice but at the time it was the only one I could find that checked all the boxes for me. In comparing the headphones, The 1840 have a much more open feel than the 900. As such, I feel that the sound stage of the 1840 is a bit wider. Personally though, I prefer the closer sound stage of the 900. Where the 1840 really lacks is the bass and mids. Compared to the 900, the vocals on the 1840 sounds very recessed. For the price those Shure headphones are going for, I don't really see them worth it especially when the DT Pro X's are available for much cheaper. I paid $700 for my SRH1840 back in 2013 and I knew it was overpriced then, but again, it was a pair that checked all most of the boxes for me (mainly comfort and build), minus the sound quality. Speaking of build, the SRH1840 is still going strong. I have replaced the earpads 2 times and the cable I think 1 time. The headband is really worn out but Shure sells them for $36 the last time I asked them. The metal grill though has started to show some paint wear and slight rusting on the edges. Overall, I'm very happy with the DT Pro X headphones. Both the 700 and 900 are very good with different use case for each. For easy listening or monitoring, I'd recommend the 700, but for a more neutral sound signature for mixing and editing, the 900 is better for sure. *Update October 14, 2024:* Just a year of constant use, the leatherette wrapping the foam in the headband has started to come undone on the 700 Pro X. The 700 Pro X is the one I use regularly. The 900 Pro X that I use in my sim racing rig is still ok. I will still give these headphones 5 stars as they've really been pretty much perfect for the one year that I've had them so far. I bought headphone headband wraps and used it to hold the foam in place. When I bought these headphones last year, I was expecting this to be an issue. Some people have said that Beyerdynamic has fixed it by using a different glue but I knew that would be almost impossible short of a redesign. I just wished the headbands on these headphones came with wrap style cover from the factory. They look better, more comfortable, and lasts much longer than the current design. *Update October 21, 2024:* I decided to contact Beyerdynamic about the replaceable foam headband that came apart in my DT700 Pro X. I also told them that I would eventually need one for my DT900 Pro X as well. The very next day after the email, I received a notification that an order has shipped. Today, I received the new headband foams. I attached a photo and you can see the improvement they made with the new one. The old one on the left and the new on the right. The issue with the old one is that the leatherette will eventually come unglued (from my experience and from what I read from other people, it's usually a year of constant use). Once it starts, it's very difficult to put back and almost impossible to glue it back and make it look tidy. Super glue do not hold on to the plastic material of the headband. The only option is replacement. I'm really glad that they fixed the issue by overlapping the leatherette so much more where it glues on to the plastic. The warranty service is also exceptional.

The DT 700 Pro X really impressed me, especially with how well the closed-back design isolates sound. It blocks out a lot of outside noise, which makes it great for focused listening or working in less-than-quiet environments. Sound-wise, the detail is excellent. You can pick up subtle elements in tracks that are easy to miss on other headphones. The bass is strong and clean. not muddy or overpowering, just pretty controlled and present. I did tweak the EQ slightly to better match my personal preference and get an even more accurate response, but honestly, they sound great out of the box. They’re also very comfortable for long sessions and feel solid. I’ve dropped them a few times already and they’re still holding up perfectly, so build quality is definitely there. Overall, easy 5 stars. Great isolation, detailed sound, solid bass, and built to last.

Style: DT 900 PRO X Open-back Studio Headphones
Sadly, putting in this review at the 3-year mark (5 stars so people see this review, read the end): I've used these daily for about 3 years, so here are things you should know: - The audio is fantastic. It lived up to the hype, and it was 100% worth the money as far as audio goes. Not a single complaint here, I absolutely love these. - The headphones are pretty comfortable, the ear cushions are pretty stiff initially, so just give them a couple days for them to break in a bit. - While the overall structure quality is very solid, there's a known issue where the material covering the headband cushioning comes off after a while. The cushioning remains in place however, so it doesn't make a difference as far as comfort goes Unfortunately, after a wonderful 3 years, the right side of the headphones stopped working completely. I took very good care of these, never dropped them, so I couldn't avoid this in any way. It seems to be an issue with the cable that goes into and through the headband (the cable that connects both sides). It must be kept at a very specific angle for the right side to turn back on, otherwise, I'm stuck with only one side playing audio. I no longer have the warranty, but I'll be contacting customer support anyway. If anything good comes from it, I'll update this review

Style: DT 900 PRO X Open-back Studio Headphones
I will start this review by giving you a background of my experience with headphones and audio. I am an audio enthusiast but by no means am I an audiophile or have analytical experience with headphones or audio. I own the Sennheiser HD560s, HD58x, Beyerdynamic DT 770 and DT 990 pro's, the Phillips Fidelio x2 HR's and now the DT 900 pro x. I have about 20 hours of listening experience so far on the DT 900 pro x and would like to leave my feedback because so far the reviews of these on Amazon have been mostly negative. I disagree with most of what has said so far about these. I use all of my headphones with the Fiio K5 PRO dac/amp and listen to music and play PC games like Escape From Tarkov, CSGO and APEX Legends. Starting with the positives about the DT 900 Pro x Positives: -Well balanced tuning with a slight V curve in the lows and upper mids/highs but nothing crazy as compared to the DT 990 Pro which has a very obvious V curve and washed out mids. The mids on the 900 pro x are clear, slightly forward and seem to help while playing FPS games to amplify things such as foot steps and gunshots. The lows are punchy and precise with some bonus sub bass which is hard to find in this price range without the lows muddying up the mids and highs. Sound stage - The sound stage to me is perfect, not too wide, not too closed in. In comparison the the DT 990 pro the sound stage is similar but seems a bit more closed in because the mids are more forward and not as recessed to my ears. In games like Tarkov I can feel immersed without feeling like things are spaced out too far, to me it sounds perfect for gaming. For music the soundstage is just right, again a little more closed in than the DT 990 pro and the HD560s but for me it helps me to get immersed in music vs feeling like I am in the back of the crowd at the concert. Imaging - The imaging is fantastic for the price you pay for these headphones. Instrument separation is great and I can easily hear the different instruments in music without any muddying up or meshing of the tones the instruments make. In games the ability to tell which direction enemies are is fantastic, even better than the HD 560s and the 58x both vertically and horizontally. The DT 990 pro does a good job of imaging but the mids are so recessed that it hinders the imaging by muddying up the tones of instruments to my ears. Cables - The cables are high quality and the headphones come with two lengths of cables which are detachable. I am not sure how this could get any better. The cables are mini xlr and come with a gold plated adapter to connect to either a 3.5mm jack (most mobile devices and computer sound boards) or a 1/4 inch plug to connect to dac/amps etc. The cables are soft rubber and very flexible. I am currently using the shorter cable to plug into the Fio K5 pro and I have a dead silent sound floor with a perfect length cable. If you turn your head a lot the cable may rub on your shoulder but for me it's a non issue. Build - The build quality of these headphones is great in my opinion. You get a mix of high quality plastic around the ear cups attached to a very sturdy metal band holding the earcups to the headband which is made out plastic and what seems to be a leatherette headband cushion. The wires are tucked neatly and do not interfere with wearing them. The velour ear cups are well made and look like they will last quite a while. The inner ear cups have a high quality material protecting the driver which is a step up from the thin foam you see on most headphones. Overall I give the build quality a 8.5/10. Cons: Comfort - These are not the most comfortable headphone for extended listening (8 hours+) but for me they are perfect because I do not use them for that long. The ear cups are slightly stiff at first but seem to be softening each time I use them. The headphones are slightly heavy on my had as compared to the HD58x and the HD560s which may cause quicker fatigue for longer listening session. One bonus is the ear cups and headband cushion are all replaceable to help extend the life of the headphones. Design - Some might say that these are not the most attractive headphones and appear very basic in design. I myself am not so vain but I know that some people make a living off of being in front of the camera with headphones on (streamers) who may prefer a more attractive headphone design. Again, not a con to me but I can see how it would be a con to others. Price - 300 dollars is a lot of money to most people so having to fork up 300 dollars may be a con to some people. I personally believe that you get what you pay for with these headphones especially with the added bonus of two cables and a quality carrying bag but I can see how some people may see 300 dollars as a bit steep. The HD560s retails for 200 dollars and is not far behind in sound quality from these but for me, the extra 100 dollars is well worth it for slightly more clarity in the mids and highs with punchier bass and sub bass as compared to the HD 560s. The highs - The highs of the dt 900 pro x are somewhat your classic Beyerdynamic signature with elevated, clear and slightly sibilant highs. Sibilance does not affect me as much as others but I will say it is still there but toned down a bit as compared to the DT 990 Pros. If you can tolerate some sibilance you will love how the highs sound. Conclusion: I believe that headphones have a diminishing return above the 200 dollar mark and when you pay an extra 100 dollars you get an ever so slight increase in sound quality. I believe that at the current price these are worth the extra 100 dollars vs lets say the DT990 pro because you are getting better mids, less sibilant highs, a more neatly put together sound stage and better imaging. The build quality is higher on these compared to the DT 990 pros which creaked right out of the box for me. I love the detachable cable design and the fact that you get two cables and a high quality carrying bag is an added bonus. These are also 48 ohms so you could drive them without an external amp/sound card which is great for most people. If you have a budget for these and are looking for a headphone which makes listening to music fun and playing games more immersive I would give these a shot, worse case scenario you don't like them and utilize Amazon's awesome return policy!

Style: DT 700 PRO X Closed-Back Studio Headphones
The DT 700 Pro X (700 going forward) is an excellent headphone in the under $500 category. You're getting excellent build quality, comfort, and sound quality that's easy to drive and attractive. The 700 has a fairly neutral tonality overall, which is to be expected for a set geared towards music production. But that doesn't mean they're lean or boring sounding. You get excellent bass extension and slam, and an overall punchy and nimble bass presentation. Highs have good air and extension but don't get sibilant. Mids have good presence, though I'd prefer them to be a touch more forward. Soundstage is very good, with good side to side and dimensional placement of the instruments. Separation is good as well, allowing good identification of different conflicting or overlapping frequencies. Overall resolution is good, but not great. I didn't feel I was missing anything, but at the same time other headphones better resolve and isolate sounds for inspection. But the differences aren't major, IMO. Being low impedance, the 700 is very easy to power. They scale a bit with good amplification, but it's not absolutely necessary, unless you're chasing maximum sound quality. And they're as easy to wear as they are to power. These are some comfy headphones! The velour material is even softer and more supple than the older DT 770/880/990 pads, which were mighty comfy on their own. Clamping force is a bit high out of the box but dissipates after a week or so of use. If you're really bothered by it, when you get them, leave them clamped onto a shoebox or something slightly wider than your head at night for a week or two. That will help break in the metal headband tension, and ease the clamp force. Overall the 700 is a very well balanced sounding headphone in an easy to drive and wear package. Nothing stands out as offensive, which is excellent. Headphones usually have something sonically that stands out negatively, but these don't. They're not perfect, and might not match your preferences well, but I don't perceive any major frequency response flaws. In comparison the older DT 770 is brighter, more sibilant, with much more recessed mids, and boomy bass. All notable flaws, IMO. There's strong competition in this market segment though. The two headphones that stand out to me are the Austrian Audio Hi-X15 and the AKG K371. Both are significantly cheaper and rival the 700 in sound quality. Let's compare, shall we? Austrian Audio Hi-X15 - Tuning is a bit brighter, with a leaner presentation overall. The X15 is slightly more resolving, with a more dynamic response. Bass has more potential extension, and seems more responsive under duress. Treble and upper mids can be a bit intense at times though, especially right out of the box. The X15 needs a good 20-50 hours of run time to settle down. The driver is a high excursion type with a stiff suspension that IMO needs some hours to hit it's optimum operational range. I thought they were pretty bad the first 5 hours or so, but now they're a staple in my lineup. In comparison, the DT 700 Pro X is a bit darker, or less lean, if you will. Upper range extension and presence is more tame. Bass is slower and less nimble and responsive. Overall resolution is a bit less. The 700 sounds SLIGHTLY hazy in comparison. Also the X15 has more dynamic range, it can reproduce more nuance between high and low volume elements within the playback. But these differences are not huge, mind you. Do I feel I'm missing anything with the 700? Nope. I do prefer the slightly more punchy, though leaner X15 bass response, but the 700 doesn't disappoint. AKG K371 - Tuning is very similar, with a nice even frequency response top to bottom. Like the 700, nothing about the 371's response stands out as problematic. So why spend more for the 700 over the 371? The 700 is built much better, is more comfy, and is clearer and more resolving than the 371. Bass on the 371 can get a touch boomy and indistinct compared to the 700. Also the overall sound from the 371 is slightly hazier than the 700. I think of the 371 as the poor man's 700. Very very similar overall, with the 700 just being a bit better. If you twisted my arm and made me pick only one of the three, I'd take the 700 as it's the most even sounding of the bunch. I like the X15's higher dynamic range, it's quite impressive in such an affordable headphone, but the lean tuning is a bit annoying to me. Beyerdynamic hit it out of the park with the DT 700 Pro X. As a longtime fan it's good to see such a great legacy company as Beyer revamp their sound to more modern standards, and do it so well. For fans like myself who soured on the older lineup with their fatiguing brightness, the 700 is a breath of fresh air.

If you need durable, comfortable headphones with good sound quality, these are the cans for you! They're good for everything from enjoying music to intense gaming sessions for hours on end. They have certain quirks that make them stand-out headphones if you're a savvy consumer who knows what you like. Sound quality: These headphones sound great, with excellent sound reproduction and solid surround sound capabilities for FPS gaming. As other reviews have mentioned, they aren't the most bass-heavy headphones, but I find that it makes for a comfortable long-term listening experience. Comfort: I really enjoy wearing these headphones, even for long blocks of time. The cloth pads are EXTREMELY comfortable, and I quite prefer them over pleather pads. They do have a strong clamping strength as other reviews pointed out, but I find it makes them feel quite snug and cozy - especially once broken in. They're comfortable if you wear glasses too! Build quality: These are very sturdy headphones with solid materials throughout. Other headsets try to get away with cheap plastic builds to cut down on costs, and it shows. The reason I actually bought these headphones in the first place is because I made the mistake of buying a headset made of plastic that ended up breaking! The DT 700 is very durable, and won't shatter just because you dropped it on the floor once or twice. Even if it does break, you can order replacement parts from their website, which is excellent news because you won't have to replace the whole headset! Gimmicks: These headphones don't have any! There are no volume wheels, no gyro sensors, no microphones - nothing like what "gaming" headsets on the market provide. For some, this is a downside. For me, this is an upside! I tried a headset with those gimmicks and found myself never using them. With this set of cans, you're paying for good audio and good build quality - and that's it. Portability: This is the biggest downside of the DT 700. It doesn't have the ability to fold up into a compact portable shape like many other headphones on the market. This makes it very bulky and take up a lot of space in whatever purse, briefcase, or satchel you put it in. It does come with a nice storage bag to keep it safe and orderly, but that doesn't help the fact that yeah, this headset is bulky. However, if you're just using these headphones at a stationary desktop, portability isn't really a factor.

Have only had these for a day, but right out of the package, without any burn-in, the sound quality is impressive. From other descriptions, I was expecting neutral sound over most of the spectrum, which they indeed provide! However, I was NOT expecting the experience to be so pleasant... I'm comparing these to a variety of headphones that I have purchased and lived with for daily recreational listening, as well as tracking/production/mixdown activities with my own bedroom studio efforts: Neumann NDH20, Audio Technica ATH-M50, SONY MDR 7506, Yamaha HPH-MT8, Urbanears Platten BT, KRK KNS 8400, Grado SR80, and Apple Earpods Pro. The Beyerdynamic D700 Pro X sound smooth and musical, without any obvious coloration, while still allowing for detailed focus on individual sounds in the mix, regardless of where the sounds reside in the audio frequency spectrum. The fit is a little tight, out of the box for me, and the stiff reinforcement at the earcup end of the cable tends to bump up against my left shoulder, but I am expecting these minor annoyances to become less so with time. I'm really liking the clear but not harsh upper midrange, and the transition between bass and lower midrange seems really smooth as well... Imaging is the best I've heard in a pair of closed-back headphones... This is the sound quality I was expecting from the Neumanns (manufactured by Sennheiser, and more expensive than I think is reasonable). The DT700 Pro X are a bargain, compared to those, and right in line pricewise with some of the other sets I own, like the Yamahas, and some versions of the Audio Technicas... I'll update this review after I've spent some time with these... Looks like I have new "go-to" pair for critical listening. Update, about 18 months later: I've been using these headphones on a daily basis for a while now, and am still really happy with them. The velvety covers on the earcups are nice and comfy, but they do get HOT after long listening sessions, resulting in sweaty ears! I still alternate them with my Neumann NDH20's, and I have noticed a weakness in the upper bass, where a little bit of detail is getting lost. I can hear these details clearly in the Neumann's, but otherwise the sound of the DT 700s is preferable to me. The stiffness of the cable reinforcement has become a nagging annoyance, where I feel like I am constantly having to adjust my listening position to avoid having the cable bump up against my shoulder, which causes substantial mechanical noise - very distracting. Despite the gripes, these are still my favorite headphones for serious listening! Update 3 years later: I'm still using these on an almost daily basis, and they are still my go-to headphones for pleasure listening. No discernable wear on the earpads, cable, etcetera... I still switch to my Neumann HD20's when I'm listening to something whereit seems like these guys are light in the bass, and I still am tracking/producing with my SONY HDR 7506's after replacing the earpads several times, but I love my beyerdynamics!
