You actually helped me make the choice of buying the DT 700 Pro X Headphones and they're literally the best I've ever used for making music. Thanks for all of your hard work that you put into your reviews it is very much appreciated!
Edit: whoops. I initially asked you if you had ever checked the SRH1840... my bad. I just found your 3 year old video testing premium headphones... were you also test the Shure SRH1840? I'm going to check it now. :)
Would the Beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohms be great on a powerful PC (I got one); able to deliver higher volume or is 80 ohm too much and will it leave out some needed power in certain areas?
FYI: Beyerdynamic sells replacement parts so you could have easily repaired the headphones instead of replacing them. Not as easy as a plug in type but still a good option.
@@SanjayC I replaced the cable on my DT-880 Pros. It's requires soldering to detach the old cable and attach the new one, so it's a bit fiddly, but I don't really have any practice soldering and didn't find it too difficult.
They sell but the support is really horrible, they don't reply, or they reply and just next they completely forgot about you. I had my own really bad experience with them. :(
HD600 and M40x seem like a nice pairing that will serve the needs of beginners whilst also providing the headroom to accommodate their growth for many years to come.
@@hariskun8736 He most definitely did, it would not make sense for Allah to only make it appear so. All respect to you anyway bro hope you come to Christ 👊
I've been using the Beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohms for at least a decade. They are the most comfortable headphones I've ever used and the sound quality is excellent. (Audio Technica's are good but not as comfortable) Price point is excellent. You'll see them al lot in studios.
Im searching headphones for commuting that has no cabine pressure, cause before I used Bose CQ45 and I stop yo use It for thé cabine pressure. I used thè DT770 for two d'ays andd was thé most confortable headphone I ver used!! U will don't have Thaïs strange sound when u walk 🥹❤️
I've got a chance to work with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 and it sounds great! I also love how comfortable it is. This will definitely be added in to my Christmas shopping list!
DT 990 250 ohms have been some of my favorite to use because of how comfortable it is. Along with it's mixing and soundstage qualities, the air that passes through the cups makes it a pair that you can use for long amounts of time. Perfect for film scoring.
I'd definitely pick the Audio-Technica M40X! It's a really nice, balanced option for everything, and the biggest bang for your buck, especially compared to the M50X. It makes more sense. It also really helps that it's so flexible, meaning I could still hear other things and people. Plus, I could take it everywhere much more easily. The comfort is good enough still as well.
I use the M40x at my work, but I work in video production, so it's strictly for field camera monitoring, not music production. I only wish they had velour earpads rather than the vinyl (same for the headband), because the vinyl flakes apart on your ears in no time.
@@ebinrockI have a pair of the m50’s and I’ve had the same thing happening. They’ve started flaking. I also find that they get warm with long wear sessions which makes them more uncomfortable. After only having them a couple years, only one side works. Not sure if it’s the cord or not. It’s too bad because I loved them until I now kinda don’t. I wish they were more comfortable and that they lasted longer. Now I’m using my AirPod Pros while I figure out which headphones to get.
I have been using the m40 for about 2 years and I am looking to change. I always find my mixes coming out boomy and muddy because of the bass in these headphones. Paired with them being so uncomfortable after about an hour of use, I wouldn’t really recommend them.
Hurray! I've been looking forward to this one, and you don't disappoint. I've been using the M50x for awhile, and I really love them. I've wish-listed the Neumanns, though. I'll definitely be checking out the Sonarworks software (via your link, naturally). Thanks again!
anyways, I just really need to tell that i have this massive crush on your studio aesthethics...gives so much life to the video, thats definetely goals man
I stand by the M50x for all my songs! I've been using them for a few years and they're so fun to produce on due to the colored sound. But mixing always came as a challenge for me so I'm saving up for a good Headphone to mix on like the HD600. As always amazing video Sanjay! Long time fan
i also use m50x and i got really used to them and loved their sound.. BUT UNFORTUNATELY my friend, once i started mixing for others and exporting more music out there, I realized that on average in cars and speakers and other headphones that my bass was flatter and my mids were HIGHER than i had mixed them!! thats a huge problem for me!! and go figure i then realized that the m50 BOOSTS the bass and lowers the mids! - and my friend that was jus NOT ACCEPTABLE so now I am really looking to either change to the m40 or the DT's
I really l like the HD600 the most on this list. It has one of the best frequency response on a headphone that is right for mixing & mastering because of it's spaciousness & detail. I used the Audio Technica M20x for 3 years now, & the right side of the headphone is not working anymore just a week ago. But nonetheless, It was a great experience making music with the M20x! :) Right now it's hard for me, because I lost my M20x that started my journey on music. That's why thank you so much Sanjay for sharing these recommendations!❤ It helps me pick what would be my next headphone. Really appreciate your efforts on this one!🙌
Are the hd 600 good on the low frequencies? Do they got that "meat", especially in the sub range, with the right separation, so you can mix correctly house music, techno, and stuff like that?
Excellent advice for the beginner producer. For me, I use Audio Technica ATH M30X and ATH M50X, as well as Sennheiser HD 400 PRO, Beringher BH470 and One0dio Studio 10 (not recommended other than casual listening). Always great advice. Always accurate information. Always good... Always Sanjay C.
I own a Beyerdynamic. Pros and Cons. 1st, Pros....The audio is very thick and clear. It is perfect for listening to finished professional songs and TV, motion picture movies, Netflix, etc. The DT 770 headphones are VERY comfortable on the ears even after 8 hours of continous use. But, for mixing I don't recommend it because you will be fooled into thinking the lower mids, and bass are present when they may be too low. I instead recommend Studio Headphones that are flat. That way what ever your ACTUAL lows or highs are that is what you will hear making your mixes more balanced the first time. The Con is a big one. The Beyerdynamic headphones break after about 6 to 8 months of putting it on your head. The problem happens when you slightly stretch it to put it on your head. Part of it is plastic and that will break. Most headphone companies just refuse to spend more building their headphones with just metal parts. Most of them are plastic with a small portion being metal like the slide out part to give an illusion that it is sturdy. The other Con is NEVER buy a headphone that has a volume adjuster on the actual wire like the DT 770 does. I mistakenly bought it and it broke also. Now to use this broken headphone I have to constantly squeeze the broken volume slider so that I can hear both left and right sides. I recommend like Sanjay headphones that you can take off the connecting wire and I recommend Flat Studio Headphones mainly for mixing.
Great video! These days, I use 3 headphone sets - DT770’s, AT M50x, and the standard Sony MDR 7506’s - they each have their purpose and strengths, and I use all 3 every week.
I love my DT 770 80ohms, but I must say using them for the first time was quite confronting. The lack of Bass response and the very revealing midrange took a little to get used to compared to what I was using previously. However these are perfect for mixing sound that requires less bass response such as vocals and guitars. You can really hone in on the troublesome frequencies especially in the midrange, upper midrange and highs. I tend to use my monitors and sub to balance the low and sub low frequencies. Its a great method that works for me. Great to see what others use and how they get their results.
Thanks for your input. I have a question. I play bass guitar and I’m looking for a pair of headphones to track when recording and also for silent practice when learning new songs. You stated the better dt770 lack bass response. Bass guitar lows seem to be around 80-250. Would you suggest the beaters, mx50 or the Sony made 7506. I want a headphone that does feel muddy in lows, has good instrument separation and clarity.
I watched the entire video, and I have to say, the range of headphones you covered is impressive! Each of them has its unique features and strengths, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with the Sennheiser headphones. Their sound quality is outstanding, providing a rich and immersive listening experience. The comfort and build quality are also top-notch, making them a great choice for extended listening sessions. Thanks for the compressive review. 🎉
I started with the m20x's and they are great for the price but the m40x's are my favorite. Sounds more balanced for mixing on the go. Great video as always!
SanjayC is SOOOOOO right. Every set of headphones, even if 'flat', has its own color and take on your music. But like SanjayC says, get to know your headphones and their sound reproduction for your own best results. LOVE this channel!!!!
I can't recommend the DT 770s enough. Took a few weeks to get used to the clamping force on my head but now they're extremely comfortable. Soft cups and they don't feel bad in the heat of the summer.
I've been working with my DT 880 for the last year and a half or so. Finally Completely in love with Beyerdynamics. I would love to try those HD 600, though (Neumann NDH 30 on my Christmas list 😅)
@@rohanv8775 Mixing and mastering in headphones is not a great idea, but if you don't have a treated room, then yes, I'd say the DT990 is a solid choice!
@@SanjayC not too bad thanks! A week off college is nice and I got a pay rise! On the down side distrokid wheel of playlist led to my song going in a bot playlist and they say they can’t help. So I’m hoping nothing too bad comes from it. Streams are dying down from that playlist for now so fingers crossed!
Loved the explanations! Only thing I'm missing are the AKG K701s. I have both the AKGs, as the DT 770 PRO 250 ohm - my preference goes to the AKG because the Beyerdynamics sound too muddy/bassy compared to the AKGs. I only use the Beyerdynamics for vocals now...
Instead of upgrading my Senheiser HD598's I just purchased Sonarworx Reference and that did a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE to the quality of sound. It's like I have entirely new headphones. This has improved mixing and mastering tremendously
Aside from your incredible reviews, I'm so appreciative of the fact that this video and your speaking moves at a normal conversational pace. so many RUclips review channels talk at such a frantic pace that I feel like I'm getting nauseated and dizzy just trying to listen to every word at break next speed. That is so fatiguing, and this channel is not!
@@MrMitchellday I tried the 80 Ohms but it sounds very different to my ears and I didn't like it. I didn't try the 32 Ohms. I would only buy the 250 Ohms version. Please mind that you do need a suitable headphone amplifier - one that supports high impedance headphones - to achieve a reasonable volume.
My favourites and which I use personally are the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro for mixing (using SoundID Reference) and the Sennheiser HD280 Pro for recording and monitoring. Both are comfortable to wear for hours and very reliable.
Honestly I got a pair of Shure's SRH1540 headphones on sale, and with these I've had the most success getting tracks/mixes to translate. Worth checking out (although a bit pricy)!
I have recently found your channel and cannot begin to describe my appreciation. You helped me with my MIDI Controller selection, thoroughly, my launchpad (instead of APK), and now headphones!
Thank you Sanjay, this was very helpful. I’m tired of the “punchy” bass on commercial headphones, whenever I type in “low bass headphones” on Google it gives me results for ones with high bass!! Wtf 😂. Anyway enjoyed your video! Thx
I've used the Sony MDR V6 for a long time now. They were recommended to me by the live sound engineer for Jethro Tull. But your run down of the new models is great. I'd probably go for the DT 770's. Thanks
@@SanjayC Dang, I’m sorry Sanjay, just got notified about a reply 😟 But since you asked, im actually eye-goggling (is that right ?😂) the Sennheiser HD 650 + the individual calibration by SonarWorks or a pair of OLLO Audio S4X, recommended by a friend. Are there any you would suggest for updating from BD DT 880 Pro with the focus on mixing & mastering ? Best Greetings and both take care ✌️
i've had the DT 990 pro for years and I just love the way they sound, I use em for everything, editing videos, practising bass, gaming or just listening to music
@SanjayC My favorite headphone of all the mentioned headphones would be Neumann NDH 30. You mentioned that they are closest to your studio monitors and are outstanding with SoundID Reference.
@@lavatr8322 really balanced. bass doesn't bang, so leaves room for mids and highs. so, really good for mixing. not good if u just want to listen to music
@@kadekais but what if I want to hear detailed bass , do they give that output? Like for Example Hans Zimmer music has a lot of thicc Low end and huge drums , I would love to listen to that clear low end
@@lavatr8322 its hard to explain, but yes you def feel and hear the bass in detail but its not the most important fq in the mix. its pretty balanced just the mids and highs stand out a bit more
Hey Sanjay! For the higher impedance headphones, could you do a video on recommended headphone amplifiers for a range of budgets? I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 400 PRO headphones (120 ohms) along with the headphone amplifier FiiO K5Pro, but I have either been unimpressed with the headphones or the headphone amp, I am not sure which. Also, depending on the ampere of one's headphone will determine if you need a headphone amplifier at all. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Namaste.
Great video! Very informative. I really like the Sennheiser 600 and the AIAIAI TMA-2 Wireless, it would be very freeing to have wireless production quality headphones, although they aren't cheap 😅
I had a Senheiser 10 years back and unfortunately broke the wire which could have been replaceable. Unfortunately I misplaced it when moving houses. Love your video's Sanjay and your mixes are really tight.
Thanks for all the work and research! I'm going to return my ATH-M40X (my ears are screaming for help) and get the DT-770. With a Scarlett Solo, is the best DT-770 going to be 250 Ohms? Thanks a lot!
It always makes me happy to see someone living their best life. Sanjay, you and your wife are pretty much adorable. Thanks for another great video. My wife "borrowed" my ATH mx50's and loves them haha
Sanjay, almost sold on the beyerdynamic dt990 pro for mixing. Love to go for the neumann or the beyerdynamic 1990, but can't afford them. My question: for mixing and mastering, the old dt990 pro or the new dt990 pro X? will both up the game enough with sound correction? thanx.
Yeah, the VSX are way better for mixing purposes than everything else, I had Audio Technicas, Beyer Dynamics for a few years, then the VSX really changed the game.
I have the m40x but with this video I might upgrade to the DT 990 wich were the ones I liked the most and the open back feature will help a lot with the type of music I make. I think they are a really solid upgrade from mine.
Your videos always have such a comforting feel and I love it! Since I already have a pair of DT 700's, I think the most interesting headphones on the list are the AIAIAI TMA-2 Wireless. Cables tend to annoy me and the modular construction feels fresh :)
I have a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-910 cans. I bought them in the early 90s while studying Electronic Music in college. They are super great for mixing and I’ve had good success mastering too. I’m thinking about getting the Beyer Dynamic DT 770 to compare.
I own the M50Xs and have been working with them for a while. Now I'm looking for open-back headphones for mixing and the DT-990s really caught my attention. Thanks for the video!
I haven’t been able to spend a lot of money to buy some headphones so this has been really helpful! I ended up going with the audio technicas and I’m so excited!
I haven't heard the newest version of the HD600 but I used to use a pair from when they were produced in Ireland. Those had the best combination of comfort and sound quality I've ever experienced from a set of headphones.
I've had the 770s for ten years now and never had a problem with them, except for that I need a second pair so I dont have to schlepp them home from my studio if I want to do some late night mixing

A week off college is nice and I got a pay rise!
On the down side distrokid wheel of playlist led to my song going in a bot playlist and they say they can’t help. So I’m hoping nothing too bad comes from it.
Streams are dying down from that playlist for now so fingers crossed!
I like the Audio Technica M20X those are fire!!
Loved the explanations! Only thing I'm missing are the AKG K701s. I have both the AKGs, as the DT 770 PRO 250 ohm - my preference goes to the AKG because the Beyerdynamics sound too muddy/bassy compared to the AKGs. I only use the Beyerdynamics for vocals now...
I have always loved the Audio Technica M20X
"Thank you for this insightful overview! The Audio Technica M50x is indeed my favorite. I've been using it for more than 2 years now!"
Instead of upgrading my Senheiser HD598's I just purchased Sonarworx Reference and that did a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE to the quality of sound. It's like I have entirely new headphones. This has improved mixing and mastering tremendously
Aside from your incredible reviews, I'm so appreciative of the fact that this video and your speaking moves at a normal conversational pace. so many RUclips review channels talk at such a frantic pace that I feel like I'm getting nauseated and dizzy just trying to listen to every word at break next speed. That is so fatiguing, and this channel is not!
It's a nice time to be creating music, indeed! Thanks Sanjay!
:-) So many nice tools to make our music production easy!
I love the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm. I am on my third pair. I tried others but found the 770s to be an invaluable magnifier during mixing.
Have you tried the 80s and 32s? If so we're they similar sound stage?
@@MrMitchellday I tried the 80 Ohms but it sounds very different to my ears and I didn't like it. I didn't try the 32 Ohms. I would only buy the 250 Ohms version. Please mind that you do need a suitable headphone amplifier - one that supports high impedance headphones - to achieve a reasonable volume.
My favourites and which I use personally are the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro for mixing (using SoundID Reference) and the Sennheiser HD280 Pro for recording and monitoring. Both are comfortable to wear for hours and very reliable.
Honestly I got a pair of Shure's SRH1540 headphones on sale, and with these I've had the most success getting tracks/mixes to translate. Worth checking out (although a bit pricy)!
I like the Audio Technica ATH-M40x. because I already have a pair and it has a balanced lovely sound 🖤
Shouldn't it be, you HAVE them because they are good and not the other way round?
I have recently found your channel and cannot begin to describe my appreciation.
You helped me with my MIDI Controller selection, thoroughly, my launchpad (instead of APK), and now headphones!
Those Neumanns are amazing! Would love to get my hands on a pair 🙏🏼
Very useful video. Thanks😊
Thank you Sanjay! I like the Sennheiser HD 600 but they are way above my budget so I think I would get the Beyerdynamic DT 990 for mixing.
Thank you Sanjay, this was very helpful. I’m tired of the “punchy” bass on commercial headphones, whenever I type in “low bass headphones” on Google it gives me results for ones with high bass!! Wtf 😂. Anyway enjoyed your video! Thx
Very helpful. Thanks!
I've used the Sony MDR V6 for a long time now. They were recommended to me by the live sound engineer for Jethro Tull. But your run down of the new models is great. I'd probably go for the DT 770's. Thanks
Always good to know what’s trending, Doh I LOVE my BD DT 880 Pro still 🥰
Hey, you got here fast! Nice to know you love your 880s. What would you choose for a second pair in your studio?
@@SanjayC Dang, I’m sorry Sanjay, just got notified about a reply 😟
But since you asked, im actually eye-goggling (is that right ?😂) the Sennheiser HD 650 + the individual calibration by SonarWorks or a pair of OLLO Audio S4X, recommended by a friend.
Are there any you would suggest for updating from BD DT 880 Pro with the focus on mixing & mastering ?
Best Greetings and both take care ✌️
i've had the DT 990 pro for years and I just love the way they sound, I use em for everything, editing videos, practising bass, gaming or just listening to music
Jesus loves yall, died for us, and rose again! Jesus calls for all of us to repent! He's coming back
Bro. Thank you so much for not making this hard to understand this is the only gear video that has ever not frustrated me 😂 subscribed immediately!
Fr, gear videos are so annoying sometimes 😅 like speak English bruh
I own the Beyerdynamics 770 and 990 but the sennheiser 600 def intrigue me!
Everytime I watch your video my audio nerd is very satisfied
@SanjayC My favorite headphone of all the mentioned headphones would be Neumann NDH 30. You mentioned that they are closest to your studio monitors and are outstanding with SoundID Reference.
I just bought the audio technica sounds great 👍 😊
I got the DT 770s and I’m loving them. So comfortable too!
Beyerdynamic are always the best choice for me. Just the comfort makes them so much nicer to use. I have both DT770 and DT990, both incredible.
How's the sound signature on them...
@@lavatr8322 really balanced. bass doesn't bang, so leaves room for mids and highs. so, really good for mixing. not good if u just want to listen to music
dont get me wrong the bass is there its just overpowered by the high end
@@kadekais but what if I want to hear detailed bass , do they give that output? Like for Example Hans Zimmer music has a lot of thicc Low end and huge drums , I would love to listen to that clear low end
@@lavatr8322 its hard to explain, but yes you def feel and hear the bass in detail but its not the most important fq in the mix. its pretty balanced just the mids and highs stand out a bit more
Amazing video as always! Will have to share for sure 👍
Hey Sanjay! For the higher impedance headphones, could you do a video on recommended headphone amplifiers for a range of budgets? I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 400 PRO headphones (120 ohms) along with the headphone amplifier FiiO K5Pro, but I have either been unimpressed with the headphones or the headphone amp, I am not sure which. Also, depending on the ampere of one's headphone will determine if you need a headphone amplifier at all. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Namaste.
Thanks for the review. I'm bias to the Beyerdynamic DT770 and 990 pros. They are so comfortable and provides the sound I need.
Thank you for helping me pick good headphones
I'd say the Beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones would be my favorite.
Great video! Very informative. I really like the Sennheiser 600 and the AIAIAI TMA-2 Wireless, it would be very freeing to have wireless production quality headphones, although they aren't cheap 😅
You're videos are exceptionally well done and always entertaining and informative.
So we've come full circle, during the pandemic, I was looking for headphones and now we're back revisiting them. Great channel as always
I have been loving the 250ohm beyerdynamic 770s got them on sale for 100nzd - about 75 usd, super comfortable with a quality feel
I had a Senheiser 10 years back and unfortunately broke the wire which could have been replaceable. Unfortunately I misplaced it when moving houses. Love your video's Sanjay and your mixes are really tight.
Thanks for all the work and research! I'm going to return my ATH-M40X (my ears are screaming for help) and get the DT-770.
With a Scarlett Solo, is the best DT-770 going to be 250 Ohms?
Thanks a lot!
Terrific recommendations! Thank You!!
Your recommendations are always on point. My favourite heaphones from the list are DT990 pro
It always makes me happy to see someone living their best life. Sanjay, you and your wife are pretty much adorable. Thanks for another great video. My wife "borrowed" my ATH mx50's and loves them haha
So nice of you 🙏🏼
I love the dt 700 headphones
I can mix, track and produce music with them they're incredible❤
Sanjay, almost sold on the beyerdynamic dt990 pro for mixing. Love to go for the neumann or the beyerdynamic 1990, but can't afford them. My question: for mixing and mastering, the old dt990 pro or the new dt990 pro X? will both up the game enough with sound correction? thanx.
I'm excited to try the DT 990 - didn't even know Beyerdynamic had this model!
True Master at his work. Thanks Man. Been watching you for quite a while
Love the new video SanjayC! Very educational as always 😊
Thanks so much. So glad you learned something from it!
been looking for some mixing headphones, thank you for this video, keep up the good work!
Yeah, the VSX are way better for mixing purposes than everything else, I had Audio Technicas, Beyer Dynamics for a few years, then the VSX really changed the game.
Same!
@@macdesi4321 do you use it to mix or just for final check?? I really would like to try it but i m not sure.
I agree Beyerdynamic DT 990 are one of my favourite✌️
My favourite out of the bunch are the M50x...I have used Audio Techica headphones for a long time and love the mix I get through them!
I really like the m40x audio technica, bescuse the dont overpriced they do what they ment to do and they are very comftable❤
My fav for the money and for comfort? Beyerdynamic DT770's!
The dot 990’s has always been in my studio based on the quality in sound and also I can wear them for hours without being sore!
Not greedy - The Beyer DT990s would be great 😊
I have the m40x but with this video I might upgrade to the DT 990 wich were the ones I liked the most and the open back feature will help a lot with the type of music I make. I think they are a really solid upgrade from mine.
The Neumann NDH 30 are my favourite from the list. Great vid!
I have the Beyer DT 990 Pro model. Best headphones I have ever owned. If I rob a bank, I would love to get the Neumann or Sennheisers.
Your videos always have such a comforting feel and I love it! Since I already have a pair of DT 700's, I think the most interesting headphones on the list are the AIAIAI TMA-2 Wireless. Cables tend to annoy me and the modular construction feels fresh :)
Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions about them 😊
I have a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-910 cans. I bought them in the early 90s while studying Electronic Music in college. They are super great for mixing and I’ve had good success mastering too. I’m thinking about getting the Beyer Dynamic DT 770 to compare.
I've been using the M50xs for a while and they've suited me quite well, these are my favourites on the list
I own the M50Xs and have been working with them for a while. Now I'm looking for open-back headphones for mixing and the DT-990s really caught my attention. Thanks for the video!
Harsh
Love the Neumann, the metal body looks gorgeous
Great video , always a thorough breakdown. I'm hoping that you'll have an updated laptop list soon.
Beyerdynamics dt700s all the way! bought them with my first interface and I coudn't be happier!
do we need an audio interface for DT 770 pro ? or i can simply plugin into my 3.5 mm laptop jack.
I haven’t been able to spend a lot of money to buy some headphones so this has been really helpful! I ended up going with the audio technicas and I’m so excited!
I haven't heard the newest version of the HD600 but I used to use a pair from when they were produced in Ireland. Those had the best combination of comfort and sound quality I've ever experienced from a set of headphones.
I've been using the Audio Technica M50X. I'm like your description of the Neumann NDH 30 the most.
I really appreciate the Sennheiser 600s, but several of those are great. Thanks!
Thank you for the video - beautifully produced
I've had the 770s for ten years now and never had a problem with them, except for that I need a second pair so I dont have to schlepp them home from my studio if I want to do some late night mixing
