out oh hey Dave Taylor here and I'm
0:16
checking out these I'm listening to
0:18
these I should say these are the biod
0:20
dnamic DT 1770 Pro Mark 2 Studio
0:26
headphones and they are lovely they have
0:29
a big Big Rich sound an enormous Sound
0:33
Stage they are redesigned to work with
0:36
even low powerered inputs like my phone
0:39
and they just deliver beautiful sound
0:42
now let me tell you a little bit about
0:44
them because they feature the new
0:46
biodynamic Tesla 45 neodymium drivers so
0:50
they're 45mm drivers in here and they're
0:54
crisp and precise and have a lot of
0:56
details they actually are 30 ohm
0:59
headphones which is interesting I
1:00
haven't encountered those before but
1:03
biod dnamic designed those to work like
1:05
I said with a much wider variety of
1:09
different input sources so your computer
1:11
your phone your tablet all of those are
1:14
going to work great as would your highi
1:16
or high-end audio inputs if you have a
1:20
board a mixing board or something you're
1:22
working with because you're actually a
1:23
sound engineer these are going to work
1:25
fine with those two they deliver 5 to
1:29
40,000 Herz of frequency response which
1:32
is way more than I can hear probably
1:34
more than you can hear but it just gives
1:36
you a sense of just how much attention
1:38
to detail the company has 95 DB of sound
1:42
pressure level and they are a closed ere
1:45
ear design as you can see and these ear
1:49
cups are actually leather EDS so they're
1:51
not actual leather they're really soft
1:54
and I think it's actually a bit of a
1:56
deeper earpiece so when you put them on
1:59
they're 's no issue with any part of it
2:02
actually pushing or touching the center
2:04
of your ear they're really comfortable
2:07
and of course they are easily adjustable
2:10
and one thing that's kind of fun if
2:11
you're not used to the higher-end studio
2:14
headphones is that they use a mini XLR
2:17
connector you see it in this closeup and
2:20
it just gives a better connection a more
2:23
reliable connection and less noise
2:25
between the different channels and
2:28
really
2:30
that's really everything about these
2:32
headphones they have the company name
2:35
embossed on the top and the band is very
2:39
flexible and there's memory foam so it's
2:41
very comfortable sitting on the top of
2:43
your head and they intend these to be
2:47
something that you'll wear for many
2:49
hours at a stretch if you're working on
2:52
a sound a project of some sort you're
2:55
going to have these on and you're going
2:56
to probably be working pretty focused
2:58
for a good period of a time so they're
3:02
377 G or 13.3 Oz they're really pretty
3:07
darn light they're not the world's
3:09
lightest headphones but that's cuz
3:11
there's a lot of electronics and it's a
3:13
really nice high quality build now the
3:17
other end is a 3.5 mm there's also of
3:21
course an adapter for a/4 in and it
3:24
comes with two different cables so the
3:26
one I'm using is this one which I
3:29
actually prefer but when we look in
3:31
their rather enormous travel cases
3:35
honestly the one thing I'm not a fan of
3:37
with these headphones is this travel
3:40
case is undoubtedly going to work well
3:42
but it's just really big but inside you
3:46
have the other cable so if you don't
3:49
want to use the one that has that sort
3:51
of spiral design you can just use a
3:54
straight cable and that works better for
3:56
some situations and then here's that
3:59
adapter that you can just literally
4:01
screw on to that 3.5 mm and now you have
4:04
that classic headphone jack and then it
4:07
even comes with a spare set of earpads
4:09
which is really nice so these are that
4:12
leatherette the ones on the headphones
4:14
right now are a velour so it gives you
4:17
options and of course if you're the kind
4:19
of person where it just you get a little
4:22
sweaty when you have your headphones on
4:24
then you can switch between them and
4:27
then give one pair of break while the
4:29
the other pair you're using as you are
4:31
wearing your headphones so really not
4:34
much else I can tell you I will say that
4:37
when I plugged these in and tried a
4:39
couple of different music sources and a
4:42
couple of different devices this is just
4:44
a old simple Samsung Android
4:48
phone sounds beautiful I just went over
4:50
to Spotify and then I picked up some
4:53
Dave bruck some classic Jazz and boy the
4:57
sound with these is just really
4:59
impressive it there's a a huge Sound
5:03
Stage and it's just a big Rich Lush
5:06
sound and these versus the original dt7
5:12
1770s um is that these actually are
5:17
tuned to give you a little more base
5:19
they're not quite as flat a response but
5:22
for my listening it actually is a better
5:25
experience and these are the kind of
5:28
headphones and this is what you really
5:29
want with these Studio headphones
5:31
they're the kind of headphones where you
5:33
put them on you put on your music and
5:35
then you just close your eyes and just
5:37
sort of drift away as you go into the
5:39
music so it's really precise the highs
5:43
are very enjoyable um with Breck take
5:47
five an absolutely classic musical
5:49
number the high hat just had a nice ring
5:52
to it and there wasn't any shrillness or
5:55
anything and this is getting up to
5:57
40,000 Hertz of reproduction so it could
6:00
definitely give you all sorts of sound
6:02
but it gives you a really nice sound and
6:04
if you close your eyes you can actually
6:07
figure out where the musicians were
6:09
standing when the song or track was
6:12
mixed and it's just it's a joy if you're
6:16
spending a lot of time with earbuds and
6:19
with little tiny headphones and stuff
6:21
having a pair like these are just it's a
6:24
whole new experience it just opens doors
6:26
it just makes it it's such a better
6:28
listening exper experience for you so
6:31
that's what I got these are a beautiful
6:34
design and of course it's all about the
6:36
sound and these sound great so lots to
6:40
check out I am going to invite you to
6:43
subscribe to my channel click or tap on
6:45
that subscribe button hit that Bell icon
6:48
for notifications and if this was of
6:50
value I always appreciate a thumbs up
6:53
sweet these are the biod dnamic DT 1770
6:58
Pro Mark 2 Studio headphones and they
7:02
are
7:05
$599.99 at amazon.com now these are on
7:09
the steeper side but the quality that
7:12
you get and the sound reproduction you
7:13
get really takes them up to the next
7:16
level if you've been living in the100 to
7:18
$200 range with your audio gear so
7:22
there's a reason these sound so
7:24
beautiful and a lot of that is that
7:26
Tesla 45 neodium driver but
7:30
there lots to like here that's all I got
7:32
for you I'm going to go back to my music
