Great video! I used the Sony MDR-V6's for over 20 years and they died on me. Now I'm getting a pair of the DT 770s. I love my V6's, bummed that they don't work any more, but really looking forward to the 770s. Do make lots of audio videos in DaVinci Resolve and mix live too, so I'm looking forward to trying the 770s. Thanks man!
When the "pleather" ear cups on my 7506 headphones cracked after a few years, I replaced them with the velour ear cushions from Byerdynamic (forgot the model #). Now the 7506 headphones are much more pleasant to have around the ears, when the weather turns warmer.
Just found your channel. I did just bought the Sony at about 68USD. Waiting for it to arrive. I would like to hear 'what the engineer intended' for the first time
I've worked extensively on both the 770's and the V6's and then later the 7506's (V6's being the older brother of the 7506's, originating in 1985) the Sony's have my vote, the DT770's are more enjoyable to listen on and sound closer to what I would expect from a pair of speakers, but I often would find myself missing critical details, (I'm a classical engineer) I'd miss bad edits or pops in the audio, never with the V6/7506's, you hear everything with those, That high frequency boost shows EVERY dang detail (If I'm not incorrect I believe they were intentionally designed that way for that reason?), when the V6's were discontinued I bought 2 more of them because I'm so so used to them and honestly would need to spend way more money and time than I would like just trying to find a pair of headphones that can compete/adjusting to a new sound profile.
DT770 have boosted highs too just different frequencies. They have peaks around 7k and 7506 have peaks at 4k and 5k. These frequencies are more important for speech and such. Same story with DT990. They have all the highs elevated so that you can focus on that range.
To my experience, the 7506s only seem to be more detailed because of their elevated high frequencies. That's a common misconception. Don't get me wrong, the 7506s are not bad at all. There is a reason why they are so popular in the USA. In Europe, you will find more often Beyerdynamic or Sennheiser headphones.
Sony 7506/V6 are truly amazing, you really do hear every last minute detail. Introduced 1985 to coincide with Sony's new digital recorders. Sony's are tanks, my first set bought in 1989, still going strong, incredibly reliable. The Sony reliability is VERY WELL KNOWN IN INDUSTRY - keep eye out fl- you'll see Sony's EVERYWHERE, far more than DT770. This guy is wrong about build quality: Sony has aluminum ear cups, metal hinges, metal headband strip. Cord and connector/3.5mm screw-on adapter super quality. Hangers thick plastic. Guy's also wrong about replacement parts, everything available for Sony, they even include parts list/diagram w 7506. Yes, pads flake after 3-5 years (depending on usage), but smart move is immediately buy velour pads (just like DT770 pad material, but black so no chance of staining - light gray is silly...) I'm going to try DT770 (think I'll be disappointed, but hope not) I will say Audio Technica ATH-M50 (older, fixed cord version, got deal used) were really awful, muddy all around, and bass very boomy.) Recommend start w Sony, use them a good while, will always be useful as extra cans if you wind up needing another and get Beyerdynamic.
Great review vid Brodie. I run a pair of 7506's in my office. They sound great for most applications in my opinion. Definitely 1000x better than most consumer USB headsets from Logitech and Plantronics. I did upgrade from a pair of Sony MDR-V150's, which are a good piece of kit don't get me wrong, but the 7506's sound so much "richer". And BTW, I'm a Sony fanboy, so take that into account. 😀
Thanks for this comparison. That’s also my opinion about this headphones, I also own the 7506 and 770 (80). I’m wondering how the newer DT700 will perform compared to the 770.
I bought a pair of the MDR-7506 when I started Sound engineering School and after 10 yrs, the left driver stopped playing just like that. I wanted to replace it with a new pair of the same, but stumble upon your video and after watching your video, I think I want to try out the DT770... Great decision making video. The Sony hurts your ear after wearing for a few hrs and then the black "leather" starting peeling off after a few years later.
I use the 7506 and V6 for just about everything. Been using them since my radio production days. Love them! Replaced the ear pads on the V6 a couple of times with better ones.
Grazie per questo video! Ho provato ieri le Dt 770 pro 32Ohm e mi sono piaciute molto (escluso il cavo non staccabile).Mi piacerebbe paragonarle alle Sony MDR m1 ma non ho possibilità di provarle ed ho letto che hanno le frequenze acute molto più tranquille...non vorrei trovarmi con delle cuffie troppo spente, hai un consiglio da darmi in merito a questo? Grazie Mille
Both fabulous headphones. Bayer is king when it comes to being TRULY closed back. The Sony's ear cups sit ON your ear if God blessed you with large ears which in turn allows unwanted bleed. But for me the Sony's win hands down for pulling out every single instrument if speakers are not an option.
Just put thicker pads on the MDR 7506 tbh. I just got a really good deal on a pair for $55 off eBay and the seller included the nice thick Yaxi earpads they were using with them. Cool design too, with a red and blue ring around the base of each pad.
Hi, Ive had the 7506's for 3 years now...and Ive only ever had a tiny amount of sound leakage while recording vocals in the studio, maybe a click every now and again. I bought the 250 ohm 770's yesterday ( 2 pairs ) and yes they sound way better overall. I got set up and ready to record a vocal......OUCH! the bleed was instantly noticeable and very intrusive... I tried both pairs and got the same amount of bleed on the Vocal track...So, I sent both pairs back this morning and have purchased some new pads for my 7506's..Maybe when reviewing similar items in future, you could include something like an overall noise leakage test when recording with an open Mic? Nice vid though
Agree with you totally. I have more for you to check out I'm glad you caught this video & just want to invite you to my NEW channel, "Home Studio Pro": brodie.bz/Production
DT770 are a far more competent build. Better drivers and more careful implementation, better quality control and sturdier construction, easier to repair. Sonys have channel mismatch and their drivers are the cheapest thing you can find. So Beyers end up playing lowest bass and their breakup is at 7k instead of 4 because their diaphragm is stiffer. With good EQ preset Beyers can be made flat between 20Hz and 10k while Sonys struggle with bass and don't have the manufacturing repeatability to fix them with EQ. Consequently Beyers have some actual stereo imaging.
No you are false Mdr 7506 is better than dt770 in mixing and mastering I test both And the sony result is excellent but it lack of bass you can correct it after but overall the Sony win for me
Well done, thank you! It's always interesting to see differences in preference between the USA and Europe. In America, the 7506s are really popular. As many musicians and engineers are used to them, they carry on this tradition. Over her in Europe, they are used aswell, but more often, you will find the Beyerdynamic 770 or their later versions or Sennheisers like the HD 280 pro. Since there is an increasing number of home studios and RUclips channels, the Sonys become more popular in Europe because the big popular channels are from America.
4:54 i am listening this video in 990-s 250-ohm version directly from iphone. What i'm doing wrong? How many times every single audiogear youtuber will repeat same myth: "only rare device can drive 250 ohm beyerdynamics". THAT IS NOT TRUE. That's definitely not true. Period.
@LuckySeven50507 That‘s possible, I don’t know very much about rtings. The data should have been clearer in the first place to help better inform the buyers.
@LuckySeven50507 As I said, it’s possible rtings are terrible at reviews and are unreliable. I don’t base my opinion off of one review alone. There are other popular YT reviewers that report them not to be grainy, and others that do. Is that due to manufacturing problems or faulty units? I dunno. It’s possible.
I have had the Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 80 Ohm headphones for 7 and a half years, I bought them mainly for listening to music although I have used them for other purposes. A while ago I tried the Sony MDR-7506 and although they offer good sound quality, I still prefer the DT770 PRO, I love how they sound, the level of detail, soundstage and instrumental separation.
I used Sony MDR-V600s, then the 900s, as a musician and pro DJ in the 90s. I've used several brands/types, not really a lot of brand loyalty, but I always liked Sony for good, detailed quality sound, full-spectrum. They are workhorses. I recently compared pairs at Guitar Center (yep, don't judge). The 770s were nice, as were the Sennheiser's (400, I think)... but the 770s were nothing like what you're saying. Also, the Naugahyde ear cups don't breathe, so they got sweaty within ten minutes. Betting there was some money shilled out for this video from Beyerdynamic...
Dude...I don't know where you get your information, but as a professional musician for over 50 years, I can tell you, that you can also replace every piece on the 7506's, and the 7506's are much more popular in recording studios for musician monitors, than the DT-770, although they are certainly very good in that role, but you're tearing down the 7506's for no good reason. I agree the pads on the 770's are much, much better, that's a given, but most people will tell you the 770's have sibilance issues starting around 7KHz and go up to 10kHz, whereas the 7506's are pretty flat overall without any glaring highlights. You can purchase third party ear pads and my 7506's have the 770 factory pads on them, which makes the for a much richer sound and no touching your ears. I've owned a half dozen 7506's and 3 770's so I'm quite familiar with both.
I own both. For Djing and music and remote video work the 7506s (or better the V6s) are the way to go. If you sweat the 770s get STINKY and gross.And the foam and plushness turns into a disgusting mess. I also constantly pinch my fingers on the 770s. That Big clunky hinge can bite your fingers. OUCH! The foam is the weak link on the Sony's but the after market foam (lamb's skin) is the way to go. For my ear the oval shape of the 7506s fits perfectly and doesn't pinch the top of my ears unlink the MDR-700s. Also when DJing many times you have 1 ear on the headphones and the other on a monitor or someone is talking to you, The 770s are terrible for 1 ear off. Also durability throwing the Sony's in and out of a bag, plugging them in and out of different misers and cameras, etc. taking them all over the world, the Son'y's are nearly bulletproof and way easier to find if you need another pair quickly. Maybe the 770s would be better podcasting and in a studio. But out in field and in club or festival I think the 7506s / V6s are they way to go.
If you want less clamping on the DT770 you can simply rest them clamped on a stack of books that is slightly wider than your head for a couple days or a week (when you're not using them). It's kind of silly that such an expensive headphone has this issue, because even a little too much clamping is way too much in the long run.
Will use the dt 770 with 32 ohms for gaming and music. They sound very wide, feel good on the head in that you dont feel them/forget they exist and that is a big factor for me, i have iems that sound similary good but dont like the fit of them, for on the go ok but at home pls... Beyerdynamic has made a great product back in the 80s and that its still around says enough. My Logitech g pro x feel and sound quite bad in comparison. First time holding the dt 770, yep thats quality, made in germany it says on the plastic that holds the cups. feels solid. greetings from germany.
Hey I like your comparison but I just want to let you know that Rtings doesn't use a professional compensation in their graphs. They have a consumer target, which isn't "flat" or neutral as we call it in headphone world. Rtings compensation has a few db pf bass boost, so I'f you're looking for gauging that bass, you should add at least 3db shelf in your mind from 100db down. That or just disregard their compensated FR graph and go straight to the raw measurement, which they store in their DB. You can clearly see that both headphones have boosted bass. 32 ohm DT770 has as much as 9dB (!) of boost. If you're looking for more professional approach to measurements, I'd advise you to use sources like inearfidelity. Rtings have some things going for them but they're not serious with pro gear. I mean just be honest with yourself. Do they really sound flat to you? Make a quick mix on them and then compare it on loudspeakers. You'll see you mixed the bass low. The only variant that doesn't have boosted bass is the old 250 ohm one. Interestingly enough the difference is in earpads. You can put the cushions from 32 on 250 and the bass will be boosted. As the earpads flatten from use, They get more midrangey which is also something to bare in mind when using them. This applies also to earpad rolling. You added new earpads to your Sonys but did you notice the sound changed? Earpads are the second major contributor to sound in headphones right after the driver.
I've put real sheep leather ear pads on my 7506....rotting problem solved....and most of all...they sound better than with the originals. But at the end of the day I still prefer the DT770 Pro 250 Ohm.
12:06 there is not a single headphone that should measure flat our ears themselves colour the sound there is also something call the eargain they have to compensate as well there is a lot more to it. On headphones.
Im watching this on my 32 ohm dt 770 (but i put velour pads on it, the 32 ohm version normaly comes with fake leather pads, nice and thick ones at that but i prefer the velours) anyways what i wanted to say is that the video has a certain kick on the beyers
Three great headphones (I Do Not have the 250ohm DT770) if I had to only take one on a desert island, give me the 7506, but all 3 are great. the 80ohm and 7506 really show you bad music files, and they glorify your good audio files. 32ohm everything sounds too good so you can't trust it
The best ,,, brother i see the 7506 VENT SOUND MY MICROPHONE MANAGES TO CAPTURE THE SOUND AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR I RECORD MUSIC I DON'T WANT ANY SOUND THAT VENTS WHICH YOU RECOMMEND
Good comparison, nice to have feedback from someone who constantly uses the headphones in question. But I have to say, every time that "Subscribe" button with the obnoxiously loud noise popped up, I reached for the mouse to click away from the video, then decided I'd stick it out because surely, he wouldn't do that again and I really wanted to see the video. Then I spent the next 30 seconds thinking about how annoyed I was about it and had to rewind to hear what I missed. Then, you did it again. And again. Needless to say, you didn't get a subscribe from me with that obnoxious "Subscribe" blast to my eardums.
so: update for you... check out my new channel over at brodie.bz/Production the subscribe "stinger" has 1/4 of the volume level... it has been addressed by others too. thanks for your support.
They'll be reviews by Susan, some older lady who gave a 1 star review because the delivery man accidentally stood on her daffodils when delivering I typically dismiss 1 star ratings. There's a lotta grumpy people out there
Well, I ordered some "Bose" headphones £190. Listened wired & bluetooth to some tracks and passages I'm very familiar with. I have to say I was absolutely unimpressed and underwhelmed by them, no dynamism at all. Already had some bog standard earbuds but ordered some more for £4.50, and believe it or not I now think they are totally fine, a friend listened to the earbuds and give 8/10. I returned the headphones.

This was a great comparison video! Just ordered a pair of the 770s 80 ohm flavor and I can’t wait to play my bass/drums with them
Rock on!
I'm glad you caught this video & just want to invite you to my NEW channel, "Home Studio Pro": brodie.bz/Production
Curious how the sound isolation is with these, I’m looking for something to wear for band rehearsals.
How did they work out?
Great video! I used the Sony MDR-V6's for over 20 years and they died on me. Now I'm getting a pair of the DT 770s. I love my V6's, bummed that they don't work any more, but really looking forward to the 770s. Do make lots of audio videos in DaVinci Resolve and mix live too, so I'm looking forward to trying the 770s. Thanks man!
Did you try fixing the V6's, Like replacing/shortening the cord with a bit of solder?.
When the "pleather" ear cups on my 7506 headphones cracked after a few years, I replaced them with the velour ear cushions from Byerdynamic (forgot the model #). Now the 7506 headphones are much more pleasant to have around the ears, when the weather turns warmer.

in about 3:00 to 3:50 you addressed Sony headphone as microphone.. LOL.. I would totally do that! Nice video and audio :)
SONY 7506 all day💪🏽
Agreed 100%
I own a pair of these, I love it

Can someone please help me in deciding between dt770 and 990 ?
I can only afford one pair, i do beat making, recording and mixing
DT770 for mixing / mastering
7506 for making music / monitoring
M50x for DJs
No you are false
Mdr 7506 is better than dt770 in mixing and mastering I test both
And the sony result is excellent but it lack of bass you can correct it after but overall the Sony win for me
@@21recordsmixwould you still consider the dt770s good in that aspect tho?

Hello Brodie. Did you spot any sound quality difference between DT770 32/80/250 versions?
dt 77 pro , Among which ohm is better for film editing purpose ?
Also did they have noise cancellation mode ?
What target are you using?
MDR-7506 with a pair of leather pads are the best choice for field audio recording, that's were designed for primarily.
👍👍👍
I didn‘t catch it in the vod, which ohm version of the dt770 did rtings use for their measurement?
@LuckySeven50507 That‘s possible, I don’t know very much about rtings. The data should have been clearer in the first place to help better inform the buyers.

@LuckySeven50507 Anyhow, we’re sidetracking. This vid is about the 7506’s vs 770’s and it’s not evident which version of the 770’s are being compared.
Rthings state on their website, that they tested the 250-ohm version.
Good pointers thanks! I own both MDR and DT.
I have had the Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO 80 Ohm headphones for 7 and a half years, I bought them mainly for listening to music although I have used them for other purposes.

Betting there was some money shilled out for this video from Beyerdynamic...
Can you compare the old 770’s to the new pro 770 X pls
I don't think the cable can be replaced. Is 32ohm good enough connect to the TV for movie watching.
IF you have a soldering iron, any cable can be replaced.
Dude...I don't know where you get your information, but as a professional musician for over 50 years, I can tell you, that you can also replace every piece on the 7506's, and the 7506's are much more popular in recording studios for musician monitors, than the DT-770, although they are certainly very good in that role, but you're tearing down the 7506's for no good reason.

If you want less clamping on the DT770 you can simply rest them clamped on a stack of books that is slightly wider than your head for a couple days or a week (when you're not using them). It's kind of silly that such an expensive headphone has this issue, because even a little too much clamping is way too much in the long run.
Will use the dt 770 with 32 ohms for gaming and music. They sound very wide, feel good on the head in that you dont feel them/forget they exist and that is a big factor for me, i have iems that sound similary good but dont like the fit of them, for on the go ok but at home pls... Beyerdynamic has made a great product back in the 80s and that its still around says enough. My Logitech g pro x feel and sound quite bad in comparison. First time holding the dt 770, yep thats quality, made in germany it says on the plastic that holds the cups. feels solid. greetings from germany.
Hey I like your comparison but I just want to let you know that Rtings doesn't use a professional compensation in their graphs. They have a consumer target, which isn't "flat" or neutral as we call it in headphone world. Rtings compensation has a few db pf bass boost, so I'f you're looking for gauging that bass, you should add at least 3db shelf in your mind from 100db down. That or just disregard their compensated FR graph and go straight to the raw measurement, which they store in their DB. You can clearly see that both headphones have boosted bass. 32 ohm DT770 has as much as 9dB (!) of boost. If you're looking for more professional approach to measurements, I'd advise you to use sources like inearfidelity.
Rtings have some things going for them but they're not serious with pro gear.
I mean just be honest with yourself. Do they really sound flat to you? Make a quick mix on them and then compare it on loudspeakers. You'll see you mixed the bass low. The only variant that doesn't have boosted bass is the old 250 ohm one. Interestingly enough the difference is in earpads. You can put the cushions from 32 on 250 and the bass will be boosted. As the earpads flatten from use, They get more midrangey which is also something to bare in mind when using them. This applies also to earpad rolling. You added new earpads to your Sonys but did you notice the sound changed? Earpads are the second major contributor to sound in headphones right after the driver.
I use Sony mr's for years now and I love tham
I've put real sheep leather ear pads on my 7506....rotting problem solved....and most of all...they sound better than with the originals.
But at the end of the day I still prefer the DT770 Pro 250 Ohm.
80 ohms are quiet with laptops and such. Definitely have a amp for 80+
Good review
12:06 there is not a single headphone that should measure flat our ears themselves colour the sound there is also something call the eargain they have to compensate as well there is a lot more to it. On headphones.
Im watching this on my 32 ohm dt 770 (but i put velour pads on it, the 32 ohm version normaly comes with fake leather pads, nice and thick ones at that but i prefer the velours) anyways what i wanted to say is that the video has a certain kick on the beyers
Three great headphones (I Do Not have the 250ohm DT770)
if I had to only take one on a desert island, give me the 7506, but all 3 are great. the 80ohm and 7506 really show you bad music files, and they glorify your good audio files. 32ohm everything sounds too good so you can't trust it
Yeah 32 ohm is a consumer variant. They lack a dip at 200Hz and have more bass.
durabilty is questionable, i have a DT990 250 ohms, the right driver died in months. now i have to spend 50usd for one replacement
The best ,,, brother i see the 7506 VENT SOUND MY MICROPHONE MANAGES TO CAPTURE THE SOUND AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR I RECORD MUSIC I DON'T WANT ANY SOUND THAT VENTS WHICH YOU RECOMMEND
I'm glad you caught this video & just want to invite you to my NEW channel, "Home Studio Pro": brodie.bz/Production
Dt770 has higher impedance, not good. I am happy with my mdr-7506. They aren't boosted as you describe.
Does DT 770 32ohm headphone have a wireless connectivity function? So confusing!!!
No they dont
Well, 770s are THE professional headphones. Period.
Good comparison, nice to have feedback from someone who constantly uses the headphones in question.
But I have to say, every time that "Subscribe" button with the obnoxiously loud noise popped up, I reached for the mouse to click away from the video, then decided I'd stick it out because surely, he wouldn't do that again and I really wanted to see the video. Then I spent the next 30 seconds thinking about how annoyed I was about it and had to rewind to hear what I missed. Then, you did it again. And again. Needless to say, you didn't get a subscribe from me with that obnoxious "Subscribe" blast to my eardums.
so: update for you... check out my new channel over at brodie.bz/Production
the subscribe "stinger" has 1/4 of the volume level... it has been addressed by others too. thanks for your support.
Sony DR-S3 before the 7506 were and still a very good headphone.
the sonys have replacment parts too u forgot that part
How come there's quite a few 1 Star reviews of these two headsets on Amazon? Can we not trust anything these days?
They'll be reviews by Susan, some older lady who gave a 1 star review because the delivery man accidentally stood on her daffodils when delivering
I typically dismiss 1 star ratings. There's a lotta grumpy people out there
Well, I ordered some "Bose" headphones £190. Listened wired & bluetooth to some tracks and passages I'm very familiar with. I have to say I was absolutely unimpressed and underwhelmed by them, no dynamism at all. Already had some bog standard earbuds but ordered some more for £4.50, and believe it or not I now think they are totally fine, a friend listened to the earbuds and give 8/10. I returned the headphones.
Audio-Technica - ATH-M50x headphones are also very good

3:35 you said microphone instead of headphone 😊
I see more Beyer with their velour
The only a thing that makes 770 a 770 for me is voice quality, vocals in general.
Beyerdynamic is German, it should be pronounced like bay, not buy. What you're saying would be Bayerdynamic
No, he pronounced it perfectly right, it's pronounced like buy. I'm German so I can confirm this. Btw. my name is pronounced like "fight" 😉
Don't forget the Sony's: Rip out your hair/Slide off your head.
I have the DT 770 250 and I hate them! They are far too quiet and basically useless for my use. I guess I will have to sell them on reverb.
You need an amp to power it if the volume is too soft
BTW he is flat out wrong the 80 ohm have the superior bass
