Studio-Kopfhörer

Notes: ***B-STOCK: Box opened, product in perfect working order***


Listen Professional circum-aural closed back headphones are the essential work tool for music production. Their tonal balance and precision in terms of audio spectrum make them perfect to evaluate the sound work quality. In addition, their comfort and accessories will make them very attractive for people travelling on business trips. The sound quality and the dynamics of these headphones are very surprising considering that this quality is usually found on more expensive items. The attention to detail of these headphones can be also shown thanks to the various patents and technologies which belong to Focal. Hence, a brand-new driver membrane was developed. The main goal was to propose a solution which would keep all the dynamics from the original track while reproducing accurately every single detail on the whole audio spectrum. Even if Listen Professional headphones are closed, they produce a very lively sound, giving the feeling of semi-open headphones while still providing the isolation of closed headphones.

Focal's core expertise:

The speaker driver has been given a 100% Mylar suspension, whereas the central dome is composed of a Mylar-titanium alloy to provide more rigidity and extended frequency response in the upper end of the spectrum. Thus, the moving part is extremely light, enabling the transducer to exceed 40kHz on a flat baffle. The reproduction of the bass and sub-bass registers also received a great deal of attention. The team of engineers managed to combine two factors which are hardly compatible: a tuning frequency which is as low as possible and extremely low distortion (0.3% at 1kHz - 100dB).

Ear cushions - the ideal acoustics:

The size of the ear cushions (height, width and depth) gives them a volume which makes it possible to achieve a great tonal balance. Microfiber provides a more linear bass response providing a better acoustic output, whereas the acoustic tissue, which is closer to the speaker driver, offers great absorption and linearity in the 3-9kHz register. The bass and lower mid-range sections benefit from remarkable tonal balance and excellent articulation: where compression and frequency response generally suffer on closed-back headphones.

For a frequent and intensive use:

Listen Professional is also equipped with a headband boasting a unique design to ensure comfort and durability. Its curve remains consistent, regardless of the shape or size of the user's head. Combined with the layer of silicone underneath the headband, this ensures that the weight is spread out evenly over the head, preventing the user from feeling any pressure in certain areas, which can be very uncomfortable during long working sessions. The horizontal and vertical rotation of the ear cups operate thanks to one single part: a joint integrated into each one. The ear cups also feature a black structured covering, making them resistant to impacts and scratching.

The next chapter of a studio legend

For 100 years, Beyerdynamic have been driven by the pursuit of the best sound. Thanks to numerous innovations such as the first dynamic stereo headphones DT 48, the robust studio legend DT 100, and the globally renowned DT 770 PRO, Beyerdynamic are now considered to be a reference for professional studio headphones.

To celebrate their 100-year company anniversary, Beyerdynamic are releasing the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition, a time-limited special edition of studio headphones. They combine the reference-setting features of the DT 770 PRO with the flexibility of the dynamic STELLAR.45 driver system and a detachable cable. Made in Germany, the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition opens a new chapter in the successful Beyerdynamic DT series.

A tried-and-tested acoustic signature

The DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition circumaural studio headphones feature the tried-and-tested acoustic signature of the DT 770 PRO. Powerful basses, detailed trebles and first-class impulse behaviour - professional musicians, producers, studio operators and sound engineers have been trusting in these qualities for decades. Flexible and powerful, the studio headphones are perfect for recording and monitoring purposes thanks to their closed-back design.

The reference for a range of playback equipment

Thanks to their dynamic STELLAR.45 driver (48 ohms) with its broad frequency response of 5-40,000 Hz, the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition headphones deliver studio reference sound on a wide range of playback equipment.

Stellar.45

For this, the sound transducer uses a neodymium magnet and a voice coil made from copper-plated precision wires. The resulting high conductivity of the driver system at low weight is the reason for its high performance. The driver system keeps distortion extremely low, even at high sound pressures. The Stellar.45 has an impedance of 48 ohms and proves that low-impedance sound transducers can deliver excellent studio-quality sound.

You want it, you get it- a detachable cable

As requested by a number of users, the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition headphones now offer even more flexibility thanks to their detachable cable. The headphones come with a 3m-long straight cable with lockable 3-pin mini XLR connector. This can be connected to a variety of devices thanks to a 3.5mm stereo jack including a screwable 6.3mm adaptor.

The most comfortable 770 of all time

For decades, the studio headphones in the DT range have not only been classified as a sound reference, but also a benchmark in comfort. In addition to the robust spring steel headband construction, it is the iconic velour ear pads that ensure the headphones are comfortable even for long studio sessions. The soft memory foam used in the headband means it ergonomically adjusts to the shape of the head. One new feature is the integrated fontanel recess. Both the headband and the ear pads can be replaced if necessary.

Professional headphones- made in Germany

Made in Germany, the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition headphones are characterised by the high production quality that Beyerdynamic has stood for over many decades. The driver system is manufactured within extremely tight tolerances and measured several times during the various production steps.

The combination of robust metal parts and impact- and scratch-resistant ABS plastic make the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition a long-lasting companion for everyday studio use.

For sustainability reasons, almost every part of the studio headphones can be replaced.

Applications

Due to the low-impedance STELLAR.45 driver, the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition delivers studio reference sound on a wide range of end devices.

The detachable, single-sided mini XLR cable makes it easier to handle the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition when it has to be used frequently.

The rugged headband made of spring steel gives the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition a secure fit and the mechanical reliability needed for daily use.

Soft ear and headband pads contribute to a high long term comfort when wearing. If necessary, headband and ear pads can be replaced.
