THE REFERENCE –

WHY IS THE DT 770 PRO STILL SO POPULAR?

A lot has happened in the field of music production since the 1980s, especially in the studio. One of the most significant changes is undoubtedly the transition from analogue to digital technology. In the past, you needed expensive equipment such as mixing consoles, tape machines and effects units. Nowadays, however, this is no longer necessary, with many functions having been replaced by software solutions. The mixing console is now located in the virtual space, in a digital audio workstation (DAW) on the computer. The same is true of the tape machine and various effect devices, which have been replaced by plug-ins. Despite this digital revolution, however, there are components that are still irreplaceable: Microphones, headphones and studio monitors (loudspeakers). These input and output devices are essential for the quality and performance of music production. Even in a digital studio environment, high-quality input and output devices are indispensable.

Headphones are often favoured as an output device as they provide consistent sound in any environment, unlike monitor speakers which can sound different depending on the environment and room set-up. Headphones are therefore often the first choice for the reference sound that you can rely on for every sound. The DT 770 PRO is also particularly suitable for everyday studio use, as it has a very robust design, delivers a neutral sound and can handle high levels without distortion. Even after many years of use and possible signs of wear and tear on the ear pads or other components, we offer the option to replace many parts to ensure the long-term functionality of the headphones. This availability of spare parts is often not the case with other manufacturers, and contributes to the sustainability and longevity of the DT 770 PRO.

Some professionals have been relying on this model for years due to its long-term availability. After working with the same headphones for so long, you get to know your reference sound and often develop a loyal bond with the product and the brand.

All these features make it the first choice in many studios, as well as a reliable tool for professional applications.

TAKE A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES OF

DEVELOPMENT IN THE 80S

Would you like to take a look behind the scenes and find out from our former designer and acoustician how the DT 770 PRO was created in 1985? We invited them both to Heilbronn for a chat and heard some interesting stories about their work.

The only element that we will never revise is the reference sound, which has remained untouched to this day, is valued by customers and is established worldwide.

“For me, the DT 770 PRO is to headphones what the Yamaha NS-10 is to speakers. Everyone knows what it sounds like, it is an absolute benchmark and you can rely on it no matter where you are. The difference is, unlike the NS-10, the DT 770 PRO still sounds good. 😉“
