r/BEYERDYNAMIC

I've heard people say that these headphones are great, that they're only good with a DAC/AMP, or that you should look into other headphones for casual use, and I know it's all mostly subjective, but I'd like to get an opinion based off of my use case. I listen to music of all kinds quite frequently and I'm looking for an upgrade from my current headset, the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro (I also know that "gaming" headphones don't have a great rep, and that most professional headphones like the DT 770 Pro X would probably sound better). I was wondering what people thought of the music experience with these headphones, and if they used eq that improved the experience.

I was also wondering how these headphones perform with gaming, and if they'd be good for everyday use. Back to what's probably subjective, but I've heard a few people say that these headphones are great for gaming, but not the best for casual music listening, and I was wondering what others think of the quality.

About DAC/AMPs. I was wondering if the quality really changes. I've seen numerous comments saying that it either doesn't do a whole lot compared to not using it, or that it changes the listening experience entirely, and I wanted to know what it really changes, and if I should look into buying one with these headphones. I've been looking into the Schiit Fulla E, and have heard good things about the Fiio k11, but I'm also up to any suggestions on DAC/AMPs that pair well with these headphones.

tl;dr: I listen to music and play games often, would the DT 770 Pro X be good for this use case, and how could a DAC/AMP improve my experience.

Hi everyone, I'm currently running the beyerdynamic dt 1990 pro mk1 250ohm through my rodecaster duo.

Will there be a big difference if I buy a dedicated amp for it? And if so what's the best setup? DAC and AMP separate or one that can do both?

Primary use case is gaming and entertainment with some light video editing.

I've seen multiple brands like fiio, schiit, topping, JDS and so on. Which is the best brand and model for my headphones?

(Budget is not a problem)

I bought cloud 3s but I had problems so I'm returning these and looking for something else. My friend recommended my bayerdynamics but his required an amp so I found these 48Ohm headphones that can be just plugged into my PC. Some people said Fiio F1 is better but they cost too much and I'm already kinda stretching my budget with pro X. So, any advice?

So I just bought a new pair of AUX headphones and was recommended to download SteelSeries GG (latest version) for a lot of EQ adjustment settings etc. and within 5 hours of gaming my computer crashed 4 times so I was getting really confused because my PC has never crashed but I thought it had something to do with the live service game, but now something has broken and it will not even power on.

I saw another Reddit post that someone had a similar problem but they were very thorough in documenting and proving that the issue was the app, and then there were tons of people in the comments saying that this had happened to them as well to varying degrees of severity.

Sooooo.... wtf is going on... this is a known issue? How can they not have shut down this app and not made it downloadable directly from their website until they figured out how to fix this? I'm so confused.....

Hi everyone,

I’m using the Beyerdynamic PRO X USB-C cable with the built-in microphone. On the first day, the microphone sounded clean, even with the Windows input volume set to 100%.

Today, without unplugging the cable or changing anything physically, the microphone suddenly started making a scratchy/static noise, almost like a “scrubbing sponge” or electrical noise.

Important details:

- The headphones/playback sound is still perfectly clean.

- The noise is only on the microphone input.

- It happens in Adobe Audition and also when recording through Chrome/browser, so it does not seem to be only an Audition problem.

- I tested a clean recording with no effects, no compressor, no limiter, no normalize, and the noise is still there.

- The noise seems to get louder when I speak, then goes down when I stop speaking.

- Restarting Windows did not fix it.

- The recording is set to 48 kHz.

- In Adobe Audition, DC Offset shows 0.00%, and there is no clipping.

- It worked fine on the first day, so I’m confused why it suddenly started.

Has anyone experienced something similar with USB-C microphones or the Beyerdynamic PRO X USB-C cable?

I got them 3 years ago. I'm using them everyday but with great care. They fell maybe once but not recently and they were completely fine. Today I put them off and a piece of plastic fell down. It just broke so randomly. Then I checked another side - it's been cracked as well. How such expensive headphones can break like that? I sit possible to replace this part somehow? (How is it even called?)

I read the entire thread from that guy who said he didn't notice a big difference of the 330 pro to his other $35 headsets so this is an apt comparison, but I am rocking an actual full size desktop PC that I built and he was doing an ipx, and I am also not opposed to getting an amp but on one of the in-depth reviews I watched they said that for this 48 ohms impedance and amp is not actually needed to drive which is indicated by the fact that the MMX 330 pro comes with a controller adapter, so if a controller can drive this headset then I also really don't know why that ipx guy was having a problem, the more the thread went on I started to wonder if he was actually an OP from some other manufacturer

I'm very excited, not going to let some op take that away from me.

What is the best way to adjust EQ for the MMX 330 pro? Does it come with software or are there preferred options that anyone can recommend?

Also, because of the way the headset was designed apparently I can flip the headset around and use it to where the microphone is on the opposite side, but if I do that, how do I flip the left and right channels inside of windows? And wouldn't I also need to swap front and back?

Hi,

I'm in the market for new headphones and my budget is around $200, and I've narrowed my options down to the 770 and 700 DT PRO X, since they are closed back. I've heard the 770 PRO X has a much brighter sound and high treble peaks but to be honest as someone new to the space I'm not sure whether I'd like that or if it matters to an average music listener like me. For reference, I play games and started to make music, and I listen to edm, rnb, and rap mainly. The 700 PRO X's I heard were neutral and better for most, but there's mixed reviews on clarity. Which one has more clarity? What would you guys recommend me get?

PS: The 700 PRO X's are only around $50 more due to discounts, which is why I'm so torn between the two if it's such an upgrade from the 770 PRO X.

OEM replacement earpads are $59.99 now, which seems ridiculous when a whole new set of headphones is $159.99.

Does anyone have any recommendations for third party replacements that don't change the soundscape too much?

Edit: USA to clarify

Hi everyone, and especially u/oratory1990 if you see this!

I’ve been using my Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (250 Ohm) for over a year now with your excellent "Used Earpads" Harman preset. It completely transformed the headphone, so thank you so much for your work.

Because of the summer heat, I just ordered the Wicked Cushions FreeZe (Cooling Gel) pads to replace my worn-out stock velour pads.

I have two main questions:

1. EQ Settings: Since these cooling gel/hybrid pads significantly change the acoustic response (especially in the sub-bass and upper-mids), which preset or adjustments should I apply? Should I start from your "New Earpads" preset and manually tweak some bands, or is there a specific target you'd recommend for this hybrid pad swap?

2. DAC/Amp Upgrade: I am currently running the 250 Ohm version. Will I experience a concrete, noticeable improvement in sound quality (not just volume) by upgrading to a dedicated DAC/Amp? If so, what are the best price-to-performance recommendations for this specific headphone?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Hey, so i got the DT 770 pro 80 ohm , i am running them with a FIIO KA11.

While i enjoy the quality and the bass of the headphones , i feel like they sound a bit muddy or muffled, is it just something i am not used to? I had a pair of HyperX cloud 3's and i may be used to something totally different. Were my expectations of how different they would sound too high? I also tried the eq from oratory1990 (new pads version) , and while its not muddy anymore, it sounds flat and somewhat TOO clear in a way.

I also have spatial audio and audio enhancements off. I am aware of the week where i should break them in, but i am not so sure i can get used to a slightly muffled sound

Am i missing something or doing something wrong?

Hello guys

I’m getting mmx 300 pro and I hear some people say u don’t need an amp /dac and some people say u get so much better audio with an amp so anyone who can tell me a bit more about this? I game only on pc if that helps

Hi all

I will be getting the DT 770 PRO for mainly gaming.

Should I get the 250 Ohm version, knowing it will be paired with the Fosi K5 PRO? Will I hear more detail in FPS gaming compared to the 80 Ohm version?

Thanks!

I received these headphones as a gift from my wife a few months ago for my birthday. I am not a huge audiophile but these have easily been the best quality headphones I have ever used. They have been plugged into my computer through an Elgato Wave 3 microphone and have been working perfectly fine since I've gotten them, up until this morning. I last used them two days ago and worked normally and I did not here any distortion or popping before they stopped working. I have also troubleshot by checking different aux ports on my computer instead of the microphone port with no change. I also use Peace Equalizer and tried multiple different settings as well as disabling. I also tested the headphones by plugging them into my Switch 2 which also did no produce audio. I did some reading mentioning either replacing the drivers in the headphones themselves or getting an external hardware device that is compatible with the Ohm level. I don't believe it would be the latter due to the fact that they had been working fine up until this point as well as them not producing audio on the Switch 2. Just looking for some guidance for possibly more trouble shooting as well as help on whether I need to replace some parts or get something else. Thank you!

I currently own a Fiio JT1 which I mostly use for content consumption, music and for casual games.

I switch to using my Truthear zero:red IEMs when I usually play competitive games like valorant as the JT1's bass can be pretty heavy for comp games

Decided to go for an upgrade and was initially considering DT990 Pro, then I found out about the DT990 Pro X and honestly i like the functional features of the Pro X like the detachable cable, but the only drawback i feel is that DT pro X has less bass, I like a fun V shape sounding headphones, and i think i would like the DT990 Pro but i was wondering if the EQ can be tweaked on the Pro X to get the immersive experience of having more bass. Need help comparing these headphones and is it worth getting the Pro X or should I get just the Pro. Open for any other suggestions too like the DT 900Pro

Mostly play comp games like valorant so sound staging is important, looking for open back headphones, and will be using it at home. I do own a scarlett solo so amp is not an issue, my budget would be somewhere around 250usd can push to 300 if there are considerable options.

I don't mix or create music so I don't want a neutral sounding headphone. Need a daily usage, multipurpose headphone.
