If you missed your shot at grabbing the DT 770 PRO X when it launched as a limited edition in 2024, good news: it’s back for good. Beyerdynamic just announced that the headphone is joining its regular product lineup, giving music makers and audio pros another solid option that blends classic design with a few modern touches.

Originally released to celebrate Beyerdynamic’s 100th anniversary, the DT 770 PRO X was meant to be a one-time deal. But strong demand and positive feedback from the audio community made the company reconsider. Now, the PRO X version is officially sticking around—and it’s available starting today on Amazon.

At a glance, the DT 770 PRO X looks a lot like the original DT 770 PRO, which first dropped in 1985 and became a studio go-to for producers, engineers, and musicians. If you’ve ever been in a control room, you’ve probably seen a pair.

But while the new model keeps that familiar closed-back shape, there are some key upgrades inside and out. First up: the detachable Mini-XLR cable. Unlike the original model’s fixed cable, this one can be swapped out or replaced, which is handy if you’re bouncing between gear—or if your cable takes a beating over time. It ships with a 3-meter Mini-XLR to 3.5mm cable, plus a 6.3mm adapter for easy compatibility across different setups.

Then there’s the sound. The DT 770 PRO X uses Beyerdynamic’s STELLAR.45 driver system, built for high-resolution audio with a balanced response. With a 48-ohm impedance, it’s designed to work well with both studio interfaces and more portable devices like laptops or handheld recorders—no external amp required.

Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either. The PRO X version adds ultra-soft velour ear cushions and a padded headband that’s easier on the top of your head—nice if you’re wearing them for hours at a stretch. If you’re editing a podcast, mixing a track, or just zoning in during a long session, these small changes make a difference.

The original DT 770 PRO built its reputation on being a reliable, no-nonsense tool. It’s been used by everyone from Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney to podcasters and streamers. In many ways, the DT 770 PRO X is carrying that torch—same general vibe, just tweaked to fit the needs of today’s hybrid workflows.

“We were blown away by the reception to the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition,” said Andreas Rapp, CEO of beyerdynamic. “It was clear from the start that this headphone had staying power. By officially adding it to our product lineup, we’re meeting the needs of a new generation of studio professionals who demand both pristine quality and modern functionality.”

The company saw that users weren’t just treating it like a collector’s item—they were actually using it in their everyday work. And that’s kind of the point. While some gear changes with the trends, others evolve slowly, staying useful across generations. The DT 770 PRO X fits into that latter camp. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but it does offer a more flexible experience for people juggling different tools and environments.

You can grab the DT 770 PRO X now for $179.99 on Amazon. Along with the headphones, you’ll get the detachable cable, the 6.3mm adapter, and a drawstring carry bag for transport or storage.

For anyone who liked the classic DT 770 PRO but wanted just a bit more versatility—whether it’s a swappable cable or easier pairing with modern gear—the DT 770 PRO X makes a pretty compelling case. It’s a familiar tool, refreshed for today’s audio landscape.
