Yes please. I’m tired of buying and returning headphones online. I’m looking 1770 build quality with Custom One sound profile (770 and 1770 are too bright for me)
I would love to hear how the X version compares to 900 that I own. One thing I have to say... why the hell don't all Beyerdynamic headphones have removable cable like X series?! It would be great to change the default coiled telephone cable with the straight one without having to open up and solder a new cable.
As a bass trombonist who records a lot of covers for fun and something I enjoy doing. Aswell and playing a lot of fps games. I have the 900 pro X and they sound incredible. They were worth every bit of money I spent on them. Also the build quality is excellent. Love from Sweden
I've had the DT 770's for years. Mixed with these for a very long time. Here's my take: Best headphones I've owned for specific reasons. Yes! The Low end is more present and not flat ...BUT.....your'e not straining to hear the low end frequencies when producing and can clearly detect anomalies in the low end. Making producing a dream. If the low end is a little hot when you're ready to master....So what! You get used to it and hearing what your creating is best so not to strain your ears. So having the presence is important while you're creating music. Then when mixing the music you can easily get into the fine details of finalizing a nice flatter signal when youre done. Love those headphones. Would never buy another pair.
Hi there!

Free to your opinion, but my DT990 burn in has made the top end less shrilly, and if burn in doesn't exist, why when you purchase any speakers or monitors do they say the use them for a set amount of hours etc etc, but sure its all opinions nowadays, so many know it alls everywhere nowadays too... And half the time some folk just don't hear what others do also when you get into the intricacies and subtleties.... But hey... sure its all subjective opinion.... always....

Hi Sean, great video! I have the DT1990 pro, and I'm thinking about buying the DT700 as I love a good bass how detailed are the high and low end these? They seem the overall more fun than the 900's? Cheers
Kinda standard for these cans. Beyerdynamic's stuff is hella durable and they guarantee the availability of replacement parts for 25 years or something.
is DT 990 PRO 250 ohm better then DT 900 Pro X since it uses more powe to run them? dont really know much about sound and if it matters at this price point
Hi Sean, I have this conflict on what to buy between the BDT880 Pro vs BDT900 Pro X. Do you have any advise for me? I am looking for a mixing headphone for electronic music. Thank you.
Hi. How do you think the 48ohm impedance on the DT 700 Pro X will handle the 12 ohm output impedance on my source? Will use it on a guitar modeller with the mentioned output impedance and an audio interface with a 10ohm output impedance. Been really torn between the Pro X and the DT 770 250ohm for weeks now. Help.
Hi Sean thanks in loads for the comparison, can you please specify, which of the two i.e. dt 700 or dt 900 has Neutral sound in order to get more correct audio and vocal editing
Hi Sean, thanks for your video! I'm looking for an open back headphone to improve my mixing and mastering monitoring (I own a pair of MDR 7506 and ATH50x). I was trying to decide between the DT990 pro or DT1990 pro, and now I have this new alternative. Do you think the 900 and 1990 worth the extra money? Wich one would you pick? Thanks again!
May I ask for your advice! If I'm going to solely rely on headphones, without studio monitors, which one between the DT770PRO/DT990PRO/DT700PROX/DT900PROX is the best for electronic music production?
Hi Sean, I make orchestra music and also pop genre with orchestra. 990 or 770? Pro or Prox? I will depend mymixing and mastering on the headphone. Thanks
hey Sean, Pro 900X, they can output low end right properly right? sub bass etc? because most of the time, it's the bass, that is misrepresented in the mixing and mastering equation.
A bit of an "off topic" question, kinda. What is the cable like on these? I've been using the DT770 Pros for... jeez, probably 10+ years at this point and one of the only things I've not been a super fan of is the rather stiff cable they have (causing annoying "creaking" sound as it rubs up against clothes and so on). Is it any softer on these new ones?
Hey Sean, thanks for this awesome review! My current situation is that I am looking for headphones exclusively for mixing and mastering. I don't have a treated room with good monitor speakers and my studio desk is also currently in a room that share's office space with my fiancé, so I spend a lot of time mixing when we are in the same room together or late in the evenings. As a result of that, I've steered away from Open Back headphones to avoid sound bleed and for more of an intimate mixing experience. I currently own DT 770 Pro 250 ohm cans which are powered by a FiiO K5 Pro headphone amp and I have had a lot of trouble dialing in the low end on my mixes with them as I just feel like there isn't enough there to accurately hear. I've been leaning towards these new DT 700's for this reason but from what I'm researching, a lot of people prefer open back headphones overall when mixing and mastering which I'm not afraid to try out if it will yield better mixing results. In your professional experience, do you feel that the DT 900 Pro X is better in the low end than the 250 Ohm DT 770 and would it be a better choice overall for mixing/mastering over the DT 700 Pro X? Or do you think I could get away with the DT 700's in this case and continue to not annoy my fiancé? Happy wife, happy life. lol. Thanks for your time man!
Hi Dom, I personally prefer the sound overall on the DT700. The low end is definitely more full, so you won't have any issues hearing anything down there, even in to sub 30hz. I've been using them almost exclusively as main mixing / mastering reference cans since I got them. No complaints... and your wife will approve of the isolation :)
@@SeanDivine Hah! Gotta keep her happy first! Awesome brother, thank you. I appreciate you sharing your honest feedback! I’ll be scooping those up using your Amazon affiliate link.
@@TheFrenzyNetwork Hey man. I already owned a pair of DT 770’s. Was looking to upgrade those. I ended up purchasing both the 700 pro X and the 900 pro X and immediately returned them both. To my ears, they sounded WAY too mid range heavy with a complete lack of low end in comparison to the 770 pro’s. I ended up springing for a pair of DT 1990’s and I really like them! They are very flat but when I throw Can-opener on my mixbus it completely made them sound as if I was listening on closed back headphones with a more pronounced, rounded low end, so it was easier to mix. The DT 1990’s are WAY more versatile IMO. They are pretty pricey though.
@UCDw4APn4GVPPBRlusxhFiww new ones are slightly better in mixing otherwise they both have same ratings for mastering DT990 PRO is a very good value for money deal as new ones are 10-11k expensive as well
I’ve bought 700 Pro X but now sending them back because of pressure on my head. For me it’s impossible to use them longer than 10 minutes. Does 900 Pro X better in that case? I’ve seen reviews where people complained that even they’re tight too.
I think this comes down to personal preference and your head size. They feel "snug" to me which helps with the isolation but not tight or uncomfortable in my experience. If that's not the case for you, the 900 won't be any better as it is the exact same fit.
@@SeanDivine thanks for answering! It’s a pity. But now I wonder how exactly open back headphones are better suit for long sessions, if they have exact same fit? Ear pads are not the different?
Arturia’s piano vst is really good, less expensive but less versatile is Addictive Keys (they make you pay for each piano sound individually but with more editing parameters)
Hi from Spain. I am an electronic music producir. And I have AKG 712 pro and AT m50x. Do you think this new 900 pro is better for mixing than my AKG? More bass presence? Thanks a lot.
I have the dt 990 pro, and i feel the sound is vert harsh, and not so comfortable to listen to. Its almost screaming in my ear. Im thinking of switching to the new pro x version, but im thinking of maybe choose the closed back version
@Sean Divine - what about gaming? Considering picking up a pair for my series X coming from X2HR. I fancy closed back so leaning to the 700. Any input would be appreciated
Hello thank you for the review. I have a question please. I am relatively new to world of HiFi. I am planning to buy 900 Pro X for listening to my audio. I like headphones that provide wide open soundstage which to me is the opposite of headphones that provide an experience like the sound is coming from inside your head. How are the pro 900x in that regard? Can I expect a sound like I'm listening to speakers instead of headphones? Thanks
I am looking for a new quality headphone for Trance production and am leaning towards the 900 Pro X. I would like to know if anyone is in the same boat and how they fair with this style of music. Thank you in advance!
So will these replace the DT770 for you @Sean Divine? I really want to buy one of them, as I will be mixing and producing mostly and don't have studio monitors maybe DT 900 Pro X is the best fit 🤔Then I will still have ATHM50x for recording and reference without leak.
That's the plan... loving the overall sound of the 700. I'll still use the 770 as an additional reference, since I know them so well. If you already have a pair of closed back, I'd go with the 900. They're a bit brighter in the top end and the imaging is better.
Sean how much mic pickup is there on the DT 900 for live streaming. The soundstage is better on the 900 over the 700 for FPS, but i’m concerned with bleed. Ninja uses open back so how does he deal with bleed?
Can i get an apollo solo(usb) or twin for just dt 770 250 ohm or 990 premium 600 ohm or should i go for one these(in the video) instead Or is there an amp option available or do i need both mixer and amp to get for a professional mixing and mastering experience for 770 and 990? And arey they any good for just casual litsening for few hours?
The DT 700 and DT 900 are designed to have comparable results to the high ohm models, without needing a headphone amp. I prefer the sound for general listening to my DT 770, and you can use them with any device.
HELLO, please tell me what is your distance between the monitors relative to their acoustic axes. I am interested because I have the same in my arsenal
@@SeanDivine Why did you decide to put the tweeters outside? After all, the instructions recommend them inside? And are they somehow close to the back wall? Did you do any correction? How are you, with such an arrangement with them, SBIR effect ?. Thanks. Svyatoslav from Ukraine
im looking into buying one of the following headphones, i want to use these headphone mostly for gaming and watching content. i have no amplifier of any sort. DT 770 Pro DT 700 Pro X DT 990 Pro DT 900 Pro X
I imagine there will be some differences on paper and based on the headphone amp. In my experience, it’s not so much that it has “more or less” bass than 770, it’s that the 700 bass is cleaner and deeper.
@@SeanDivine Thanks for clarifying this. I owned 770s, 990s, 1770s and 1990s. The only pair I didnt like was 1770s I thought it wasnt an upgrade over 770s and they were overpriced. I had to sell them all for personal reasons and I really miss 770s bass and 990s soundstage. I think 1990s were somewhere in between. Less soundstage than 990s but bit more bass. Never owneded 880s but they probably sound similar. What's your thoughts about AKG 702/712pro and does 900X has same or better soundstage than 990s.
Today is the first day of testing the dt700 pro x. My first impression is that there is far too much bass, which drowns out the main vocal, this can be confusing when mixing. In the DT770 the main vocal is dominant, and the bass and instrumental dominate in the dt700 pro x. If the bass could be averaged between dt700 and dt770, that would be the perfect balance (dt1990 got that ideal balance). I would be afraid to mix / master with dt700 pro x. But for the beats production and a more detailed analysis of individual sounds, they are ideal and much more convenient than the dt770.
Many reviews on Amazon complain about the headband falling apart in less than half a year. Have you been using these regularly to comment if this has been an issue?
Do you find the low end of the 700 *extends* lower than the 770? I use Sonarworks to correct for flat frequency response anyway, but I'm interested if the 700 reaches *lower* sub frequencies than the 770.
I'm not sure that it's necessarily extending lower than the DT 770... but the response itself is perceived deeper and punchier to my ears. It's easier to make mix judgments on what's happening down there with the DT 700 Pro X IMO.
Did you not watch the entire video? Pay attention. I'm not even going to answer it for you, because he gives you the info on which one gives you a better image of the stereo field near the end of the video.
I have The DT990 (250ohm) and love the sound. I’ve heard high impedance is always good. Does that mean the new ones with such low impedance are not as good?
@@DreErdna that’s true but there must be a reason behind high ohm right? Otherwise why make them all low ohm and call it a day? I’m just curious. Would love to know if there’s an audible difference. Thanks!
@@creatiw From what I've heard/experienced, a higher impedance generally causes a more nuanced sound, where you may be able to hear subtleties you just can't with a lower impedance headphone. Also depending on your DAC/interface/whatever is being used to drive them, this causes colouration which is more evident at extreme amounts of volume. I.e. a headphone with a low impedance needs to be turned right down on a DAC to not be deafened, and this low volume can colour the sound. In saying this, I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes practically, and if not used for mixing / critical listening I'm not sure how much of a difference you'll encounter
Also it's just come to mind that creators may not have dacs/interfaces which high impedance headphones require, and as these are marketed to creators, it might be a bit of a selling point so people don't have to go out and get more gear than the bare minimum
can I ask im bit stuck I'm looking at Beyerdynamic and audio-technica and a bit confused about what to get.........You see im no expert but need a headset for music and movies and video games as I'm working from home i thought i upgrade my gear. Can i ask im bit stuck.....HELPPS I HAVE ModMic Wireless JUST need headset now
Bro beyerdynamic no doubt don't hesitate It's more comfortable and accurate and designed for gaming more than the ath because u can wear it for long hours with rest
there is a difference .... when you plug an XLR, all connexions are connected in the same times. Thus you never have a "Bzzzzz" or "Tik" in your speaker or headphones ;o)
If you’re happy with the 770, keep them! They’re still great headphones... If you want something a bit more “fun” to listen to for beat making, the 700 is a nice update.
R u kidding the stellar drive in the headphone let u have the previous dt's quality and much more better and consider that this new series doesn't require u to buy an amp which will cost u $100 to get the maximum quality of the previous dt's the new series with 48 ohms gives u that result and more better without an amp
I can't decide. Beyerdynamic dt 900 pro x or tygr 300r? In my country, I can only buy a set of tygr 300r and fox mic, it is not possible to buy headphones separately. The price of the dt 900 pro x is the same as the tygr + fox set. I need 50/50 gaming and music equipment. Please help.
Flat isn't necessarily the goal. If that makes it easier for you, go for it... it comes down to sound preference and what you get used to mixing with :)
So this is what watching many reviews get me at, complete confusion. Some say 700 PRO X is the flatter, more neutral version of the 770 Pro, less booming bass, less harshness in treble and all that. But here I hear on the contrary. These conflicting reviews just make users like me so fucking confused and I cannot make a decision!
700 Pro X is not flat or neutral, it is pleasant sounding though. As I mentioned in the review, if you want a more natural soundstage with less bass, I'd suggest going for the 900 Pro X.

(in my case i just can have one headphone, either the dt 700 pro x or the dt 770 pro), thanks in advance !! And btw i do everything with the dt 770 pro, recording, monitoring, mixing and mastering... So i want to be sure that the dt 700 pro x can do the same job and better!
Well, how's the highs on the DT 900 pro X?! Was it fine & better than the 1990s?
Because I don't like the 8.5khz peak in the 1990s. I hope they avoid that harsh high range on this one.
Check the bleed in frequency response, most times that harsh or shrill will sweeten down after the bleed in time of use...
@@DJeMo no
@@DJeMo burn in is a myth
Free to your opinion, but my DT990 burn in has made the top end less shrilly, and if burn in doesn't exist, why when you purchase any speakers or monitors do they say the use them for a set amount of hours etc etc, but sure its all opinions nowadays, so many know it alls everywhere nowadays too...
And half the time some folk just don't hear what others do also when you get into the intricacies and subtleties.... But hey... sure its all subjective opinion.... always.... And everyone's wrong hahahaha
I've experienced burn in also... how much of it can be attributed to your ears adjusting to the sound? Subjective indeed :)
Hi Sean, great video! I have the DT1990 pro, and I'm thinking about buying the DT700 as I love a good bass how detailed are the high and low end these? They seem the overall more fun than the 900's? Cheers
With a slight bit of eq the 900 got plenty of bass. I enjoy the 900 more or as much as the 1990 so I returned the 1990
that's insane, your 770s went 15 years?!
Kinda standard for these cans. Beyerdynamic's stuff is hella durable and they guarantee the availability of replacement parts for 25 years or something.
yep, still going strong 👍
The 700 proX compared to the 770, is there a gain at the sound level?
And the same question for the 900 proX compared to the 990.
I placed an order to Thomann, all ways interested in Beyerdynamic, i have an Akg K240 mk2, also i use Jabra 75t bluetooth in my check list.
is DT 990 PRO 250 ohm better then DT 900 Pro X since it uses more powe to run them? dont really know much about sound and if it matters at this price point
i have the 770 pro and im used to it, if will get one of them is gonna be the dt 900
Hi Sean, I have this conflict on what to buy between the BDT880 Pro vs BDT900 Pro X. Do you have any advise for me? I am looking for a mixing headphone for electronic music. Thank you.
Hi. How do you think the 48ohm impedance on the DT 700 Pro X will handle the 12 ohm output impedance on my source? Will use it on a guitar modeller with the mentioned output impedance and an audio interface with a 10ohm output impedance.
Been really torn between the Pro X and the DT 770 250ohm for weeks now.
Help.
Hi Sean thanks in loads for the comparison, can you please specify, which of the two i.e. dt 700 or dt 900 has Neutral sound in order to get more correct audio and vocal editing
Neither is necessarily "flat" response. I prefer the DT700 sound but the 900 have a less flattering response and better soundstage for mixing.
Hi Sean, thanks for your video! I'm looking for an open back headphone to improve my mixing and mastering monitoring (I own a pair of MDR 7506 and ATH50x). I was trying to decide between the DT990 pro or DT1990 pro, and now I have this new alternative. Do you think the 900 and 1990 worth the extra money? Wich one would you pick? Thanks again!
Unless you have a high quality dedicated headphone amp and the 1990, the 900 is the way to go imo!
@@SeanDivine I will drive it with my Apollo Twin mkII quad headphone out. What would be your choice in this specific case? tks!!
I just got dt 770 80 ohms so should I consider getting these too
May I ask for your advice!
If I'm going to solely rely on headphones, without studio monitors, which one between the DT770PRO/DT990PRO/DT700PROX/DT900PROX is the best for electronic music production?
I personally prefer the sound of the 700 Pro X, overall.
Hi Sean, I am wondering if the sub-bass frequency response is as smooth and full as the dt770 pros. :)
I wonder when they’ll be allowed to talk about this
It’s just as full, for sure. The 700 is actually more pleasant for general listening imo.
@@SeanDivine tysm!
How about 80 ohms headphones? Will a Sony Xperia 1 iii do the job? 🤔
Hi Sean, I make orchestra music and also pop genre with orchestra. 990 or 770? Pro or Prox? I will depend mymixing and mastering on the headphone. Thanks
I’d suggest the 990 for that style specifically - better imaging and more natural top end for orchestral work.
Thanks for the introduction! Does the DT 700X actually have a really strong, voluminous bass? Is one so from Beyer not at all accustomed?
It’s very deep and defined. Not in an unnatural way but it’s fuller than the other Beyerdynamic headphones I’ve used.
@@SeanDivine Thanks for the quick reply!
@@SeanDivine so you mean that the dt 700 pro x is more accurate?? Or hyped in the bass / mids / highs..?
hey Sean, Pro 900X, they can output low end right properly right? sub bass etc? because most of the time, it's the bass, that is misrepresented in the mixing and mastering equation.
A bit of an "off topic" question, kinda. What is the cable like on these? I've been using the DT770 Pros for... jeez, probably 10+ years at this point and one of the only things I've not been a super fan of is the rather stiff cable they have (causing annoying "creaking" sound as it rubs up against clothes and so on). Is it any softer on these new ones?
Definitely… actually includes 2 cables. One for longer studio runs and another shorter for use on the laptop / consumer devices.
@@SeanDivine Sweet, thank you. Might have to give these a try.
What would you prefer for mix and master? The DT 900 pro x or Adam pro sp 5?
DT 900 or DT 700. The SP5 are very good but these are in the same class and nearly half the price. Better buy IMO.
for gaming and bright music, dt 900x or dt 1990 pro?
which one is the best for recording and mixing all at once??
700. The 900 is open back, so you wouldn't be able to record with them.
You recommend this for gaming and music? I have the money so i want know if is a good idea or is not for that?
I haven’t used them for gaming… Really enjoying music on the 700 for general listening. They sound great 👍
Hey Sean, thanks for this awesome review! My current situation is that I am looking for headphones exclusively for mixing and mastering. I don't have a treated room with good monitor speakers and my studio desk is also currently in a room that share's office space with my fiancé, so I spend a lot of time mixing when we are in the same room together or late in the evenings. As a result of that, I've steered away from Open Back headphones to avoid sound bleed and for more of an intimate mixing experience. I currently own DT 770 Pro 250 ohm cans which are powered by a FiiO K5 Pro headphone amp and I have had a lot of trouble dialing in the low end on my mixes with them as I just feel like there isn't enough there to accurately hear. I've been leaning towards these new DT 700's for this reason but from what I'm researching, a lot of people prefer open back headphones overall when mixing and mastering which I'm not afraid to try out if it will yield better mixing results. In your professional experience, do you feel that the DT 900 Pro X is better in the low end than the 250 Ohm DT 770 and would it be a better choice overall for mixing/mastering over the DT 700 Pro X? Or do you think I could get away with the DT 700's in this case and continue to not annoy my fiancé? Happy wife, happy life. lol. Thanks for your time man!
Hi Dom, I personally prefer the sound overall on the DT700. The low end is definitely more full, so you won't have any issues hearing anything down there, even in to sub 30hz. I've been using them almost exclusively as main mixing / mastering reference cans since I got them. No complaints... and your wife will approve of the isolation :)
@@SeanDivine Hah! Gotta keep her happy first! Awesome brother, thank you. I appreciate you sharing your honest feedback! I’ll be scooping those up using your Amazon affiliate link.
@@DomCiaccia did u bought the new x version or the older 770 version?
@@TheFrenzyNetwork Hey man. I already owned a pair of DT 770’s. Was looking to upgrade those. I ended up purchasing both the 700 pro X and the 900 pro X and immediately returned them both. To my ears, they sounded WAY too mid range heavy with a complete lack of low end in comparison to the 770 pro’s. I ended up springing for a pair of DT 1990’s and I really like them! They are very flat but when I throw Can-opener on my mixbus it completely made them sound as if I was listening on closed back headphones with a more pronounced, rounded low end, so it was easier to mix. The DT 1990’s are WAY more versatile IMO. They are pretty pricey though.
This is great 👍
I've heard a lot of people having problems with the cables n the foam cussion on dt700's. Have many people had this problem?
Had them for a while now… no issues on the DT 700 Pro X!
@@SeanDivine thanx for sharing
if you already have the 990 pro.
should you buy DT 700 Pro X or DT 900 Pro X.
700
I just upgraded to DT 770 pro 250 ohms from Audiotechnica M40x and then this came now.
But I will certainly watchout for these
same bro dt 990 pro and now 900 pro X came
@UCDw4APn4GVPPBRlusxhFiww new ones are slightly better in mixing otherwise they both have same ratings for mastering
DT990 PRO is a very good value for money deal as new ones are 10-11k expensive as well
I’ve bought 700 Pro X but now sending them back because of pressure on my head. For me it’s impossible to use them longer than 10 minutes. Does 900 Pro X better in that case? I’ve seen reviews where people complained that even they’re tight too.
I think this comes down to personal preference and your head size. They feel "snug" to me which helps with the isolation but not tight or uncomfortable in my experience. If that's not the case for you, the 900 won't be any better as it is the exact same fit.
@@SeanDivine thanks for answering! It’s a pity. But now I wonder how exactly open back headphones are better suit for long sessions, if they have exact same fit? Ear pads are not the different?
I just bought the 700 pro x and noticed heavy pain on the top of my head. What headphones did you end up getting?
Which would you suggest for digital piano through a VST?
Arturia’s piano vst is really good, less expensive but less versatile is Addictive Keys (they make you pay for each piano sound individually but with more editing parameters)

Hi from Spain. I am an electronic music producir. And I have AKG 712 pro and AT m50x. Do you think this new 900 pro is better for mixing than my AKG? More bass presence?
Thanks a lot.
Hey sean i have to 990 thinking about upgrading to 900 pro x for better mixing what you think. Thanks ❤
I don't think it would be a huge jump in improvements with the 900 pro x from the 990. From the 770, definitely.
I have the dt 990 pro, and i feel the sound is vert harsh, and not so comfortable to listen to. Its almost screaming in my ear. Im thinking of switching to the new pro x version, but im thinking of maybe choose the closed back version
In my experience, the DT 700 Pro X are smooth, overall. They are more detailed than the older 770 but I wouldn't describe them as harsh!
@Sean Divine - what about gaming? Considering picking up a pair for my series X coming from X2HR. I fancy closed back so leaning to the 700. Any input would be appreciated
I’m not an online gamer but the isolation with the 700 is great and they’re a fun headphone to just listen to, outside of the studio.
No get gaming hp
Hello thank you for the review. I have a question please. I am relatively new to world of HiFi. I am planning to buy 900 Pro X for listening to my audio. I like headphones that provide wide open soundstage which to me is the opposite of headphones that provide an experience like the sound is coming from inside your head. How are the pro 900x in that regard? Can I expect a sound like I'm listening to speakers instead of headphones? Thanks
Yes, open back headphones have a more natural soundstage and feel different without the isolation. It's closer to listening on monitor speakers.
Interesting Sean! I would book it to see later in the morning, greeting from Thailand!
I am looking for a new quality headphone for Trance production and am leaning towards the 900 Pro X. I would like to know if anyone is in the same boat and how they fair with this style of music. Thank you in advance!
Oh man! Yesssssss 🤘Dt 700 here I come! Perfect timing lol
No joke just got them today! They are really nice! Definitely different but in a good way!
I agree. Got my DT 700 this Week, and i'm happy 👍
So will these replace the DT770 for you @Sean Divine? I really want to buy one of them, as I will be mixing and producing mostly and don't have studio monitors maybe DT 900 Pro X is the best fit 🤔Then I will still have ATHM50x for recording and reference without leak.
That's the plan... loving the overall sound of the 700. I'll still use the 770 as an additional reference, since I know them so well. If you already have a pair of closed back, I'd go with the 900. They're a bit brighter in the top end and the imaging is better.
is it possible to stretch out the headband like the previous versions?
Sean how much mic pickup is there on the DT 900 for live streaming. The soundstage is better on the 900 over the 700 for FPS, but i’m concerned with bleed. Ninja uses open back so how does he deal with bleed?
At low levels, it’s not terribly noticeable. You could also use a noise gate and take care of it pretty easily.
@@SeanDivine thanks! It will be connected to my GoXLR and I use a Shure SM7B.
Can i get an apollo solo(usb) or twin for just dt 770 250 ohm or 990 premium 600 ohm or should i go for one these(in the video) instead
Or is there an amp option available or do i need both mixer and amp to get for a professional mixing and mastering experience for 770 and 990?
And arey they any good for just casual litsening for few hours?
The DT 700 and DT 900 are designed to have comparable results to the high ohm models, without needing a headphone amp. I prefer the sound for general listening to my DT 770, and you can use them with any device.
HELLO, please tell me what is your distance between the monitors relative to their acoustic axes. I am interested because I have the same in my arsenal
they're around 48 inches apart!
@@SeanDivine Why did you decide to put the tweeters outside? After all, the instructions recommend them inside? And are they somehow close to the back wall? Did you do any correction? How are you, with such an arrangement with them, SBIR effect ?. Thanks. Svyatoslav from Ukraine
im looking into buying one of the following headphones, i want to use these headphone mostly for gaming and watching content. i have no amplifier of any sort.
DT 770 Pro
DT 700 Pro X
DT 990 Pro
DT 900 Pro X
I would recommend the 700 Pro X. I use them on my laptop (no amp) and they sound great.
According to graphs 700X should have less bass than 770s. Do 700X vibrate on your head like 770s do when you listen to bass heavy tracks?
I imagine there will be some differences on paper and based on the headphone amp. In my experience, it’s not so much that it has “more or less” bass than 770, it’s that the 700 bass is cleaner and deeper.
@@SeanDivine Thanks for clarifying this. I owned 770s, 990s, 1770s and 1990s. The only pair I didnt like was 1770s I thought it wasnt an upgrade over 770s and they were overpriced. I had to sell them all for personal reasons and I really miss 770s bass and 990s soundstage. I think 1990s were somewhere in between. Less soundstage than 990s but bit more bass. Never owneded 880s but they probably sound similar. What's your thoughts about AKG 702/712pro and does 900X has same or better soundstage than 990s.
Hey, just wondering, what is the spectrum screen on your desk? Cheers

Today is the first day of testing the dt700 pro x. My first impression is that there is far too much bass, which drowns out the main vocal, this can be confusing when mixing. In the DT770 the main vocal is dominant, and the bass and instrumental dominate in the dt700 pro x. If the bass could be averaged between dt700 and dt770, that would be the perfect balance (dt1990 got that ideal balance). I would be afraid to mix / master with dt700 pro x. But for the beats production and a more detailed analysis of individual sounds, they are ideal and much more convenient than the dt770.
So what do you suggest if I'm dealing with vocals
770 or Sennheiser 600 hd or 990
Many reviews on Amazon complain about the headband falling apart in less than half a year. Have you been using these regularly to comment if this has been an issue?
Mine are holding up great
Hey Sean, DT 900 Pro X Vs DT 1990 Pro? I am lost at this point.
The 1990 with a high quality headphone amp is impressive! If you want the versatility of using open backs on any device, 900 is the way to go imo
@@SeanDivine i think the 900 then, because i do mix and master when im on the move as well, so i cant carry an amp everytime im out.
What open back headphones need headphones amplifir, I have steinburg audio interface,
Do you find the low end of the 700 *extends* lower than the 770?
I use Sonarworks to correct for flat frequency response anyway, but I'm interested if the 700 reaches *lower* sub frequencies than the 770.
I'm not sure that it's necessarily extending lower than the DT 770... but the response itself is perceived deeper and punchier to my ears. It's easier to make mix judgments on what's happening down there with the DT 700 Pro X IMO.
i like the beat intro. Is this a sample song?
Thanks! It's original.
@@SeanDivine I wish you were selling it. Shits 🔥 man. Keep up the great work

How’s the sound stage? Would I still be able to locate things in a sort of surround sound way like I can on the 770?

What desk is that? :)
since the 900 pro x is only 48ohm, will i be able to power it just with my pc?
yes
I have The DT990 (250ohm) and love the sound. I’ve heard high impedance is always good. Does that mean the new ones with such low impedance are not as good?
To me it means u don’t need power to enjoy them
@@DreErdna that’s true but there must be a reason behind high ohm right? Otherwise why make them all low ohm and call it a day? I’m just curious. Would love to know if there’s an audible difference. Thanks!
@@creatiw From what I've heard/experienced, a higher impedance generally causes a more nuanced sound, where you may be able to hear subtleties you just can't with a lower impedance headphone. Also depending on your DAC/interface/whatever is being used to drive them, this causes colouration which is more evident at extreme amounts of volume. I.e. a headphone with a low impedance needs to be turned right down on a DAC to not be deafened, and this low volume can colour the sound. In saying this, I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes practically, and if not used for mixing / critical listening I'm not sure how much of a difference you'll encounter
Also it's just come to mind that creators may not have dacs/interfaces which high impedance headphones require, and as these are marketed to creators, it might be a bit of a selling point so people don't have to go out and get more gear than the bare minimum
@@aaronshrpe thanks for your reply. I use a UAD Apollo to drive these and mainly use it for mixing.
I'm into music production witch one is the best to use?

Those 900s got me feeling some type of way 😅
How’s the clamp force, I had the oh 900 and they clamp pretty tightly
it's about the same as the 770, secure in place but not uncomfortable
can I ask im bit stuck I'm looking at Beyerdynamic and audio-technica and a bit confused about what to get.........You see im no expert but need a headset for music and movies and video games as I'm working from home i thought i upgrade my gear. Can i ask im bit stuck.....HELPPS I HAVE ModMic Wireless JUST need headset now
Bro beyerdynamic no doubt don't hesitate
It's more comfortable and accurate and designed for gaming more than the ath because u can wear it for long hours with rest
what s the advantage of mini xlr vs 3.5mm jack?
As far as I know, it's a matter of preference. No difference in sound.
there is a difference .... when you plug an XLR, all connexions are connected in the same times. Thus you never have a "Bzzzzz" or "Tik" in your speaker or headphones ;o)
Do we need Amp for the Pro X?
Nope!
yo sean should i sell my dt 770 16 ohm headphones to get the pro x 700? i make beats
If you’re happy with the 770, keep them! They’re still great headphones... If you want something a bit more “fun” to listen to for beat making, the 700 is a nice update.
Why do these cost more than the dt 990 and 770?
They don't people are scalping them, they should be $150 but scalpers are selling for $300
They are newer and are higher quality in regards to their build
R u kidding the stellar drive in the headphone let u have the previous dt's quality and much more better and consider that this new series doesn't require u to buy an amp which will cost u $100 to get the maximum quality of the previous dt's the new series with 48 ohms gives u that result and more better without an amp
i like your jacket

i have just seen the frequency response on sonarworks .... very not flat ... i think dt770 is more flat .... :(
Flat isn't necessarily the goal. If that makes it easier for you, go for it... it comes down to sound preference and what you get used to mixing with :)
Do they still have the harsh peak at the high frequencies? I love my dt 770 and 1990 but man sometimes they make me want to rip my ears off
Just bought the old dt770 oh my
on sonarworks, the frequency response is better on the dt770 thus dont worry :)
Nice but i'm waiting for neumann open headphones coming real soon :)
Dt700 pro x
Dt770 pro
?????
700 Pro x no doubt depending on my researches اكيد
So this is what watching many reviews get me at, complete confusion. Some say 700 PRO X is the flatter, more neutral version of the 770 Pro, less booming bass, less harshness in treble and all that. But here I hear on the contrary. These conflicting reviews just make users like me so fucking confused and I cannot make a decision!
700 Pro X is not flat or neutral, it is pleasant sounding though. As I mentioned in the review, if you want a more natural soundstage with less bass, I'd suggest going for the 900 Pro X.
@@SeanDivine If only open back were an option, I would have plenty to choose from.
Would like to know which one you ended up with! I’m having a hard time picking between 770 and 700, or even open back like 900 from time to time…
