Looking for studio quality headphones, these might just be what you need
0:04
Let's check them out. Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out these
0:14
These are the Biodynamic DT-770 Pro X, limited edition headphones. And they are basically the slightly modified version of the DT-770 Pro, which everyone really seems to like
0:30
These are really nice studio quality headphones. What does studio quality mean
0:35
That they're super comfortable for wearing for long periods of time. And they have a very precise response and reproduction of the music that you're listening to
0:45
So they're really good for mixing music. They're really good for editing your podcast or really any work that you're doing with audio
0:54
But of course, they're also really good for just listening to music
0:58
and I've had a lot of fun listening to a variety of music with these
1:03
Now, they also commemorate the 100th anniversary of Biodynamics. So if you've been looking at headphones and audio gear from companies that didn't exist 12 months ago
1:12
think about the fact that this company's been around for 100 years
1:16
That's pretty impressive. They have a deep knowledge of audio. Now, I will tell you that they are super adjustable
1:24
and they are, of course, very, very comfortable. They are only 10.7 ounces
1:29
And I'm showing these as if they're wireless, but in fact, they are wired headphones
1:34
And the connector on the left side is actually an interesting one
1:38
because it's what's known as a mini XLR. So it's similar, though a little smaller
1:44
than what you'd find on professional microphones nowadays. And then you get this honkin three meter cable It a really nice long cable at the end of which is a traditional 3 millimeter jack but you can also put an adapter on it that included and this gets you 6
2:02
millimeter or more commonly known as a quarter inch jack. So if you have gear that requires the bigger plug
2:09
you got it. But most things nowadays are using that 3.5 millimeter. And so there you go. So wired headphones
2:16
Now, inside the earpiece is a copper-plated neodymium driver, and it's the stellar dot 45 driver system from Biodynamic, which they have proven and refined over many generations, and it gives you some crazy specs
2:32
So these produce 5 to 40,000 hertz, and I will tell you my hearing is nowhere near that good, but to know that these headphones have that much range means that if you do have really
2:46
good hearing, you're going to hear so much out of your music. Sound pressure levels, 112
2:52
decibels, total harmonic distortion, 0.05%, and they're 48 oms, which is interesting, because
2:59
there's sort of this myth that you have to have really high oms, like 250 oms or something
3:06
for studio headphones, and these have really nice output, and they get pretty dang loud. That's
3:12
what SPL refers to, but you don't need to have a 250-oam and then figure out like, oh, a lot of my gear's not compatible with that
3:21
So they also have these super comfy velour earpieces. So if I put them on, not only are they quite comfortable
3:29
but they actually do 16 decibels of ambient noise isolation. So I can't hear the environment around me right now
3:37
even though I don't even have them plugged into anything, right? So yes, if you plug them in
3:42
you going to get beautiful sound But let me just tell you that they feature all the DT770 Pro features and one of the things that they added is this detachable cable
3:54
So they have a cable on a lot of their other biodynamic headphones that is just basically fully and firmly and permanently attached
4:04
So the fact that you can just pop these off, they do lock into place, but you can pop it off
4:11
There we go. And so now it makes it easier to transport
4:15
Speaking of transport, it does include this little bag. I'm not super impressed with this
4:22
I wish they would have used more of a fabric rather than this sort of canvas
4:26
I feel like a thicker fabric would be more protective. But in practice, more likely than not, these are just going to sit on the back of your chair
4:35
And every time you want to do any audio work, you're going to just pop them on and get going with it
4:41
So really, really nice. They are extremely replaceable. These are coming out of Germany, which is part of the EU
4:48
which is really focused on things like eco and green production. So there's almost every single piece of this you can replace if you've just worn it out
4:58
So really lots to like here. Comes with a little history booklet, the history of biodynamic
5:04
So you can study up on that or you can just start with the Quick Start Guide
5:08
And honestly, wired headphones, pretty darn easy. There's no buttons, there's no controls
5:14
There's nothing to adjust. You plug everything in, you push play on your music source, and you are good to go
5:19
So, let's talk about that sound, because these have really nice sound
5:25
I really enjoy that sort of studio sound, and they give you this huge sound stage
5:31
So the music I was listening to I was listening to like old trio jazz like in these smoky jazz clubs in New York City and stuff and it just you close your eyes and you can just you in that space And every instrument is distinctly defined in its location
5:50
And the music reproduction is so clean. It's really nice. There's bass if you want bass
5:56
And of course, you can also adjust things as you're working with your music source
6:01
But I find that these are a solid addition to the biodynamic lineup
6:05
I like the detachable wire because it makes it a little bit easier to transport without having to worry about the stress on that connector
6:14
And of course, there are super comfortable. So really great sound, very comfortable
6:21
There's really nothing I don't like about these. I even like the price point, but we'll get to that in just a second because I want to ask you to subscribe to my channel
6:30

6:52

6:59
