DT 700 PRO X Closed-Back Studio Headphones with Stellar.45 Driver for Recording and Monitoring on All Playback Devices

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.

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 ProBeing 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 ProfessionalSome 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 XThey 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.

These closed can headphones have exceptional sound qualities, build quality, and comfort. They are a clear improvement over any prosumer or pro-grade closed over-ear headphones I've ever tested or owned. They have a very even or neutral sound. It doesn't give up tight base in music or sound overly harsh with treble (unlike the DT 770s I've tested). Lower frequency (bass) is a little more subdued than I'm used to hearing or feeling; but is completely free of distortion. They honestly have a tone that reminds me of Sennheiser's pro line, but not quite as warm sounding. Not nearly as coarse sounding as Audio Technica's M50X. Detail seems a little bit muddled fresh out of the box but improves as the earpads flatten out with a bit of use. No hum, hiss, static or other signs of defects in the example I received.The design is quite sturdy, although a bit heavy. the headband is a combination of thick hard and soft-touch plastic (No 10, likely polyethylene) with a steel band spring inside; PU leather pad on the interior (replaceable). The brackets going to the ear cups are entirely metal, possibly Stainless or Aluminum; anodized black. They adjust with a click every 3-4mm on each side; it stays quite secure and is tight to adjust. The ear cups are hard plastic, that feels pretty substantial. They are ported in the rear, hidden behind the bracket. Earpads are velour over memory foam, also replaceable. The package came with two cables that have proprietary connectors that lock in with a button. Also supplied, are two threaded mini-jack to standard adapters. Connectors have a sort of rose-gold (appearance) plating on them, uncertain about its exact composition. There is no Mic in line, but it is not a problem since I use a separate mic for capture.The headphones are quite comfortable to me, with no pressure points, and enough room inside. They do have a fair amount of pressure clamping to my head, but not uncomfortably so.The packaging was minimal. Provided a heavy cloth bag, instead of a hard storage case for the headphones (my only complaint).EDIT: These headphones have been properly broken in. The sound quality has improved to some degree. Bass seems tighter, more pronounced. That sort of muddled detail I described above seems to have translated to more definition over time. It is perfectly normal for there to be a break-in and adjustment period when going from one set of headphones to another.These DT700 ProX are proving to be quite durable ;)

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.

Great closed back cans. I use them to play guitar with amp modeler while my wife does her fitness routine in the same room. No interference. Packaging is bad however. It looks like they cut a few cents and made a smaller box that scratches the band in transport. Other than the packaging, no complaints.

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.

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!

Bought the DT 700 Pro X to round out my small setup alongside the two open backs Sennheiser HD6xx and Hifiman Ananda. Ran it through multiple sources : iFi IDSD Finale (transportable), Schiit Asgard 2 (desktop setup with rhe iFi Finale operating in DAC only mode) and Dragonfly Cobalt (portable setup) for work.Build quality is excellent, and comfort is mostly solid with plush pads and medium clamp force for my head size. However, the circular earcups took some adjustment for me since I’m used to more oval-shaped designs. Seal was a little fussy at first.Sonically, it’s technically impressive: great detail retrieval for a dynamic driver, decent imaging, nothing to write home about the soundstage, but that's expected for a closed back in this price range. However, there’s a persistent upper-mid and lower-treble peak that threw me off. On the Asgard 2, that peak became flat-out sibilant especially on female vocals and high-pitched instruments. On the Finale, it was better (XBass helped), but that edge still broke immersion. Even modern, well-mastered tracks weren’t free of it. I found myself constantly lowering volume to avoid fatigue.For context, I mostly listen to melodic, vocal-centric music both older (often not mastered well) and newer well-mastered recordings where tonal balance and emotional engagement matter more at times than raw detail for older recordings. In that space, the 700X often felt too sharp.Where it did work? Mellow male vocals. Those sounded smooth and lovely. But that’s a narrow win in a very specific use case.Compared to my HD6xx (which blends into the background and flatters vocals) or the Ananda (which opens up the stage and excels in detail retrieval), the 700X felt more clinical than emotional. Technically solid, but hard to connect with. If you’re treble-sensitive or vocal-focused like me, this might not be the best fit.I ended up returning it. Not a bad headphone by any means, but not the right one for how or what I listen to.

Geweldige hoofdtelefoon. Goed geluid, schitterend design. Alles voelt premium aan van verpakking tot aan hoofdtelefoon.

私は、モニターヘッドホンをリスニング用として使用して音楽を楽しむのが大好きでして、ベイヤーダイナミックDT700ProXを実際購入してみて、めっちゃ良かった。外国YouTube動画を字幕で観ていて、レビュアー達が、「正しい」とか「正しい音」と、こぞって表現していたので、どんなものかと思い購入しました。ふわふわのPadも、イイ！何が良いかって、レザーPadの様な変な反射音がない事。音分離が際立ちます。毛布みたいな、ふわふわなPadなので耳にも優しい。ベイヤーダイナミックDT700ProX実際の音の印象は、まず、音が綺麗。でヴォーカルも、歯切れ良く聞こえますし、伴奏がヴォーカルのほんのわずか前側で鳴って、曲全体的にリスニング用途だと、バランス良く聞こえ最高です。特に素晴らしいのは、ドラムとベースの音が誇張してなくて、ドラムやベースらしい、しっかりとした音がします。ベイヤーダイナミックが現在の音楽に合わせ開発したモニターヘッドホンだけあって、楽器の音数が多彩なAdoさんの楽曲とかは、ベイヤーダイナミックDT700ProXは、得意みたいですね。モニターでも、リスニングでも楽しめるヘッドホンだと思います。

A entrega foi muito rápida! Produto veio muito bem embalado, a qualidade desse fone é absurda. Pode comprar sem medo. Pra quem gosta de um baixo mais agressivo e acentuado esse fone é o ideal.

Dessa hörlurarna är rejäla och bra för högupplöst musik, drivrutinerna på 45mm ger ett imponerande ljud för all sorts musik, har provat pop, trance och klassiskt i hi res.Mina favorit hörlurar.

It's dangerously comfortable, I forgot that I'm wearing it, and almost drag my laptop to the floor. It's recommended to buy a DAC amp with dials for EQ balance. The headphone is loud enough when directly plugged into laptops' 3.5mm jack.
