Just upgraded my headphones and I chose these cans due to numerous positive online reviews. I'm glad I did.

The detail, presence and solid, but not muddy, bass, is impressive. They are sturdy, but lightweight, and are very comfortable (the latest version comes with velour wrapped ear pads, not pleather).

I bought the 32 ohm version (also available in 80 & 250 ohm) and they are easily driven by my iPhone and iPad, but I am awaiting a Qudelix 5K DAC/amp that should bring them to the next level.

BTW- the Apple USB-C (or Lightning) to 3.5mm headphone jack is an amazing little dongle. It boosts volume and has a decent DAC for $9...

For $109 (Amazon), and a 2-year warranty, how can you go wrong with these classic studio headphones?

Despite having many different headphones, the DT 770 32 ohm set is the one I use daily on my PC~ It's a variable monster that's distinct in it's category and a wonderful gateway into accessible audiophile sound~ The Velour absolutely is a must, they help so much with on-ear heat and the loss of seal isn't too bad!

Great choice! Enjoy!

Thanks. My Qudelix 5k DAC showed up and it is a great paring with the Beyers.

Very nice purchase, i almost started my journey with the DT770 but went with the M50X and regreted it. Enjoy these very much, and only upgrade by getting an open back.

That's been my big issue with the DT 770 too, there's really nowhere to go~You start getting into some real meme level headphones in their upgrade path as their tuning is peculiar in the closed back world and nothing unmodded or without EQ really sounds like a more Resolving DT 770.

To that end nothing is really exactly LIKE the DT 770 but better, there's always a compromise so instead of looking to "Replace" them, I've just gone for entirely different tuning profiles as supplementation~ I imagine I'll keep these until they're gone then promptly replace them!
