Beyerdynamic - DT 770 PRO X

I love my DT770 ProX set. They’re honestly the most comfortable and durable headphones I’ve ever had.

To me DT 770 Pro X are almost uncannily comfy. Same with DT 900 Pro X. I feel that they're there, but they don't interfere at all. Same with FT1 Pro with thicker/firmer leather pads: slightly increased clamp, decreased headband pressure. They're there, they're weighty, but they don't bother me.

I have a pair of dt770 pro x’s and they were LIFE CHANGING. Best pair of headphones I’ve ever had.

I've been using the DT 770 Pro X for quite a while now, and they're awesome, I already had a lot of BD Headphones (DT 770 Pro, DT 700 Pro X, DT 1770), but the 770 Pro X is my favorite by far.

I typically watch a handful of reviews on YouTube. I've come to know a few reviewers I really like -- iiwi reviews, askdrtk, and GadgetryTech, if you were curious. A couple of other things to look for when it comes to comfort is the headband material (metal is better because you can bend it and not worry about cracking/breaking it) and alternative pads. My Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X's were pretty uncomfortable when I got them. Metal band so I put them over a stack of books (a little wider than my head) for 24 hours and tested comfort. It was better, but I also ended up swapping out the velour earpads for Beyerdynamic's softskin earpads.

I have those as well. I use them mainly for gaming and compared them to DT900 Pro X, DT770 Pro X and Sennheiser PC360s and I disagree that they are not as good for gaming. I think they have a kind of subtleness and precision that makes it pretty easy to locate other players, for example in BF6. How they fare in other, more competitive games, I can’t say. But they are incredibly comfortable, far more than Beyers, especially due to their weight. And sound is great. I did tune the bass up a bit because I like hip hop. But that’s all.

I mean just get good headphones and boom mic cable for them? Or even get standalone USB mic and arm. Why would you limit yourself just with "headset" options. If you want open backs and really want headset option, then maybe Drop PC38X? If you can find them in your country of course. If not, just stick with HD560S + V-moda BoomPro mic as a quite similar and yet a little better option. But, neither Krakens or Arctis are open backs, so if you want to stick with closed back format, then you can get Fiio FT1 + Meze boom mic. DT770 PRO X could be another good option (most likely more comfy and robust than FT1), but I can't find any mini-XLR boom mic in Europe.

Maybe these have a better band bracket but my 770 pro x plastic bracket split after 9 or so months. Thankfully I have a 3d printer and printed some solid replacements. This thing is miles above my Logitech g pro headset I replaced. As for the DAC/AMP I don't think you really need one at least it's not a huge difference for me on my 770's and it's kinda an overkill setup (FiiO K11).

No, but the new (Stellar 45) 770 Pro X is a damn good set. Very very damn good.

I have the DT770 Pro X — awesome bass, and the sound is just so detailed and balanced. You won’t get Beats-level bass, but you will get great balanced audio with emphasis on bass and treble.
