Beyerdynamic, the famous German audio brand, is celebrating its centenary year with a limited-edition release of the DT 770 PRO X headphones. This new offering combines the classic DT 770 PRO's reference-setting features with the modern innovation of the PRO X series, all at an accessible price point of $199.
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X Limited Edition combines the best features of the DT 770 PRO and the DT 700 PRO X lines, creating a product that aims to cater to the needs of studio professionals, artists, filmmakers, and music enthusiasts alike. The main feature of this limited edition model is the detachable Mini-XLR cable, addressing a long-standing request from users for increased convenience and mobility during studio work or casual listening.
The headphones come equipped with the dynamic Stellar.45 driver system, a technology previously found only in Beyerdynamic's more expensive DT 700 PRO X and DT 900 PRO X models. This new driver system offers a notable increase in efficiency, ensuring exceptional audio performance across a range of devices, from mobile devices to professional audio workstations.
One key benefit of the Stellar.45 drivers is their 48-ohm impedance, making them easily adaptable to various sources without requiring a high-powered headphone amplifier. This versatility should broaden the appeal of the DT 770 PRO X to a wider audience of music enthusiasts and professionals.
Comfort has always been one of the main priorities for Beyerdynamic, and the DT 770 PRO X reflects this commitment. The headphones feature a recess in the headband padding that minimizes pressure on the fontanelle area of the skull, allowing users to wear them comfortably for extended periods, a vital feature for studio professionals and creators.
The limited-edition design of the DT 770 PRO X pays homage to Beyerdynamic's illustrious 100-year history. On the side of the headband, users will find a silver-stamped anniversary emblem with the Beyerdynamic logo, commemorating the company's century of audio innovation.
Included with the headphones are ultra-soft gray velour earpads, a 3-meter Mini-XLR to 3.5mm jack cable, a 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack adapter, a drawstring bag, and an anniversary booklet that offers insights into Beyerdynamic's storied history through visual assets and information.
CEO Andreas Rapp commented on the release, stating, "We wanted to commemorate our 100-year milestone by creating headphones that pay homage to our past, and empower studio professionals of the future to work however and wherever their inspiration strikes. By combining the beloved features of the DT 770 PRO with the latest driver technology of the DT 700 PRO X, whether you're in a bustling studio or recording at home, the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition delivers an unparalleled performance."
