Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition Headphones

The 2024 DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition offers a lower impedance of 48 ohms compared to the 80 ohms in the older DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm model from 2004, which can affect compatibility and volume levels with different audio sources. It features an on-ear design, while the older model uses an over-ear design, influencing comfort and isolation preferences. The newer model also extends the frequency response slightly higher to 40 kHz versus 35 kHz, potentially providing a wider sound range. Additionally, the DT 770 PRO X weighs slightly more at 305 grams compared to 270 grams, and it is wired only, whereas the original DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm includes wireless capability. Both headphones share a closed acoustic design, detachable cables, and are well-suited for studio use.
