I just got the 250 ohm DT 990 and am using it with a 3rd gen 2i2. I use this for recording my own music. I think the volume is marginally adequate, but I found myself wanting a little more so I did get a headphone amp. The 80 ohm version might have been the better choice but this won't be my only use for the headphones so I'm happy with the choice.
I have DT770 Pro 250ohm with Scarlett Solo Gen4 and sound very low with %100 fulled. What do i do? I need more volume (atleast potential) without disstortion / buzzing. What you prefer economic?
My personal experience with the 250ohm beyerdynamic dt770 pro with a focusrite 2i2 lacks just barely on the volume if you’re a music producer. I got the 250ohm since it’s supposed to have the flattest sound for mixing. It still works really well without it don’t get me wrong but personally I like it a little louder. Just depends on your usage and taste.
I was looking for an answer to my question, as i plan to buy the Scarlet as an headphone amp only - and this video gave me all the answers! Thank you sooo much!
I bought them after i watched this video. Thank you, there isn't general information about if they will work properly on 2i2, and yes, they work just fine :D Can confirm, for mixing, 80% on the interface, has enough headroom, and its loud enough. If you want to listen to it crazy loud, you will need a preamp, but for mixing purposes they are totally fine.
@Josh McManus did u find any luck with this set up you were talking about? I’m planning on getting the dt1990 pro also and only have a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface too. You think I need an amp? If so what amp did you end up getting
Apart from the volume being different, when you say "For mixing and mastering" what makes the amped option better? Is it the fact that you can make them louder or are there actual details that are missing without the amp?
The volume differences of the versions are not that big. I think the drivers are simple power hungry but the 250 Ohm sounds by far the best. The cable is annoying and heavy, though. I had it replaced. I do not understand why the manufacturers do not manage to build an audio interface with more power that should be no problem with USB3.
I think because the Focusrite is so cheap, it would add cost to add a more powerful headphone amp, that few people would get value out of at that price point.
What type of XLR cable would you recommend for Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen, RØDE PodMic, and Beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X ? And what is the difference between balanced and unbalanced XLR cables?
Hey mate. I have those exact headphones and a Scarlett 4i4. Could you recommend a decent headphone amp and also, would adding an amp to the set up cause latency issues? Thanks man.
Exactly! I’m planning on getting the dt1990 pro and only have a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface. You think I need an amp? Or will it work good for mixing and mastering music
You've not really discussed when your recording music, singing etc. Are you saying that you would find that would be Option 3, you feel you lack volume and would prefer something with more power. I record songs so surely I only need to be able to hear playback, or sometimes live for harmonies. For harmonies if it's too quiet, then would you suggest the 80 Ohms? Thanks.
Question, I have my microphone setup for communications on my computer, such as talking to my friends through discord. Is the headphone feed independent of the line input for the microphone? As in do you always have to listen to your own voice in the headphones or can you use them normally while on your computer while still using the microphone?
You can generally just connect the input line from focusrite 1+2 on discord in the input section. To actually monitor the DI, you have to click the Direct Monitor key. So yes, you can use both without having to listen to your own voice, although I find that weird myself
I've just ordered a pair of 250 ohm and I have the 2i2 as well. In my case I bought it for mixing in pro tools, do you think I've made the right choice?
I will buy this headphones for the same purpose, did u make the right decision? Also, I would be making de right decision? I have an 2i2 3rd generation
2i2 2nd gen = enough Power to run and good volume for 250ohm 2i2 3rd gen = Same Power to run but quieter volume like 20-30% On 3rd gens i would prefer 80ohms!
3rd gen is fine with 250ohm..... depends of the source also, on a good source I'm at 50% of volume and it's enough. For making music playing etc, no problem at all also... even on a galaxy A52 5G with no amp at 80% of volume it's very good volume... so yeah.
You lose sound quality and volume. The bass won't be as present, and the highs will feel forced. Using an amp helps a lot, and 250Ohm cans love amps. I'm barely getting by with audio interface with my 80Ohm headphones, an amp would definitely help.
I'm a guitarist.. getting into home studio setup.. recording and stuff.. yet to learn mixing and mastering.. I've Audient Evo 4 interface.. which one would you recommend? 80?
Hey man I was looking to get one of this for playing guitar through and listen back on headphones while I play. Would the playback be too quiet since the voice playback is too quiet?
Thank you so much for your extensive work in detailed version - Sub'd. Have a quick question - I bought the Shure MV7 & DT770 Pro 250ohm version - My use case scenario being Music listening/Movie watching/ Gaming / little bit of video editing with voice over. Im perplexed now to buy an amp or an audio interface or a mixer - could you please recommend of I should go with yamaha ag06 or focusrite 2i2 solo given my use case scenario ? Thanks in advance and all the very best
great video!! i would love to get these two paired but i do have one concern. I do music listening and gaming i see your review on music listening is looking promising but i'm worried for the gaming side of things will i need a dac for that to work best, or will the Focusrite scarlett 2i2 be enough for the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm? if not pls do suggest dacs that will work best for these headphones.
My guess is that gaming would be somewhere between "video editing" and "vocal monitoring". It would be a close call and you may need a headphone amp of some type. I would try it first without though.

Is there anyone have the experience on a 250 ohm (DT 770, DT 990) headphone + 2i2 2nd gen? I learn that 2nd gen headphone output is far more better than 3rd gen, but yet to test it personally...
That should work just fine. I recently got both these peices of hardware and although I have the latest gen it should still work well on the second. If it helps I originally got the 250Ω because I was going to be using the Focusrite but I tried them out on my phone as a test and actually they also worked without an amp.

A couple weeks ago I got the exact same setup only with DT 770 Pro 250Ω instead. They did work great. They were at a perfectly normal listening volume exactly how you'd expect from your typical cheaper headphones.
Hi! Thanks for the video. I was guessing if this audio interface would drive the “HifiMan Sundara”, and if the audio provided is comparable in quality to the chord mojo. Sorry for my bad English, thank you again!
I tried the 80om 770 ‘s with my 212 for recording voice over and it was VERY hard to hear . Playback was fine but live recording was… bad What to do …?
I have focusrite 2i2 ,and I'm planning to buy Beyer dynamics DT 990 pro (250 ohms) for Mixing and mastering.. My doubt is it works well on it or I need to buy headphone amp..?
So I am in a bit of a situation. I bought these headphones after this video and i received the cans yesterday, but the audio seems a bit robotic and quiet. Is this because of the interface or am I missing something?
Well, I haven't seen the MOST IMPORTANT PART included. Is his a 2nd or a 3rd generation 2i2? 2nd generation 2i2 can drive up to 200ohms on the headphone outputs and the 3rd gen can do up to 250 ohms...
amazing video What other audio interfaces do u think the 770Pro 250 Ohms is compatible with especially for music production on Ableton Thanks in advance
Generally speaking, most small audio interfaces like this didn't do too well for every test that we did. My favourite device is the Yamaha AG06 ( currentprice.io/yamaha_ag06 ) and it does a really good job with these headphones and doesn't require external power which is nice.
I don't understand - I plug in this adapter in the Focusrite headphone - and plug in my normal stereo headphones in the adapter and the sound is horrible, and only in one ear. It's only when I half plug out the headphones and it's just hanging lose - then I get bad sound but at least in both ears.
Great info… thanks dude. Question: I just ordered the DT770 pro (250) closed back, it’s for the sole purpose of plugging straight into my helix floor, which is also a high end audio interface. Have I picked the right ones??😬
Can an Astro a40 be used with the 2i2? Currently the line going to the Astro mix amp is a 4pole male end. Is there an adapter to use the same cord that makes it fit the 2i2 headphone jack?
Hmm , I bought the 2i2 soundcard and the 250 Ohm DT-990 Pro and i find that headphone volume on max is quite low, so i tried some other normal headphones and the volume is much higher ! so I find that using 250 ohms headphones on the 2i2 scarlet it pretty low on Max headphone volume, I googled my problem and sure there are plenty more people with this problem using the 2i2 and DT990 250 ohms,
I'm going to record music and play guitar, base, and a MPK mini keyboard with my interface being a focusrite scarlett 3rd gen solo (1 mic pre) and want to get DT 770 250 ohm over-ear studio headphones while using a 2020 macbook. I dont know if I'm going to receive top notch performance.
I have a silly question. I just ordered Scarlett and xlr Mic but I have Razer Blackshark V2 headphones with usb sound card. Can I use instead this USB sound card the scarlett is that going to change something ? Am I still going to get surround sound ?
It would be optimal to find a pair of headphones with a big boy jackstick, the scarlett's sound from headphones, sounds awesome and on top of that you can setup a custom-mix in the scarlett control software :)
Hi, i am only listening and producing music, but i am not podcasting or streaming yet. I want to ask you. Why do you need to increase the volume higher, than you would at just casual music listening? Is it because the microphone is quieter?
Exactly. The microphone isn’t yet boosted to levels that you would get from iTunes or Spotify. You need to do this boosting after the recording, generally
I'm using Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 with 250 ohms DT 880 Pro BeyerDynamics to produce music. Which means I have to keep my master at -6db during the production phase. I tried a couple of things but without success. They are not loud enough. What solution there is that would not color the sound of the headphone as I need them to be flat.
Hello, based on your review, I realized that the volume in the headphones at 250 ohms will be less, but does this affect the sound quality? I do not like loud sound and this is not a problem for me, the main factor is the sound quality, is it worth taking these devices together in this case?
I have the scarlett solo and got my new Beyerdynamic DT770 250 OHM, but the sound is low. I am a voice over artist, and I use the headphones for monitoring my recording, editing and mixing. So do you think if I replaced them with 80 OHM, will I still need a headphone amplifier?
@@MohamedAmin-eb3jv Yes I understood that I needed to get an amplifier and connect the headphones to it, so they could be work in full power, cause the focusrite does not power them.
Hey iam looking to buy the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm and Scarlet 2i2 for Musicproduction. Do you think its gonna work of should i pick the 80 Ohm Version ? Would be happy of i get an answer
I have one doubt. I got my own home studio. Can I use this headphone (250 ohm) for music production, vocal recordings, mixing and mastering in my 2i2 Focusrite 3rd gen? Will the volume be enough?
I want these headphones purely for music production and mixing/mastering. I'm working on tight budget. Are these headphones good enough and will they do the job I want with the scarlett 2i2?
man, you think we all buy high impedance headphones just to hear everything more quiet? that's just one of many characteristics these headphones have. high impedance kills all the distortion, sound is sharper, brighter, flatter... or why y'all think we spend twice as much just to feed them? now... to answer your questions - yes, the volume is enough to do pretty much anything you want. BUT... the sound is just horrible even for listening, not mention mixing. So no, Scarlett doesn't behave like an amp whatsoever and is not enough for 250 Ohm
I use 2i4 (old one, Gen 2 probably) w/ DTT770 80 Ohm and it is not loud enough on higher monitor settings. Any recommendations for a headphone amp to put in between?
hi Jordan, I have a presonus studio68, can I drive the 250ohm (dt 880pro) perfectly? Presonus 68 Headphone Outputs: Maximum Power 150 mW/channel (56Ω load) Frequency Response 20 Hz - 20 kHz (±0.2 dB, 56Ω load, 48 kHz) Dynamic Range 107 dB (A-wtd, 56Ω load) THD + N 0.002% (1 kHz, -1 dBFS, no load) Impedance Working Range 32Ω to 300Ω

@@RinexAntax Yes it did :) And it work perfect, the interface can handle 250 ohm with breeze, i am using 32,250 and 300 and no problem whatsoever :)
@@captntunabeerd ok thx
I tried the 80om 770 ‘s with my 212 for recording voice over and it was VERY hard to hear . Playback was fine but live recording was… bad
What to do …?
I have focusrite 2i2 ,and I'm planning to buy Beyer dynamics DT 990 pro (250 ohms) for
Mixing and mastering..
My doubt is it works well on it or I need to buy headphone amp..?
im using them with a ROLAND DUO Capture EX - It sounds very loud for me. Im not sure if this is much more of a powerful amp than the Focusrite though.
@@extinctionistrecordsblackm6380 okay..thanks bro
can we not just get a headphone preamp before the scarlett?
Between scarlett and heaphone you can get an amp. Between scarlett and computer no, because its usb.
Great Vid! Do you know if the Tascam US 2x2 can handle the beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 ohm? Thank you!
So I am in a bit of a situation.
I bought these headphones after this video and i received the cans yesterday, but the audio seems a bit robotic and quiet. Is this because of the interface or am I missing something?
if you bought the 250 ohms and you dont have an interface i guess so
Well, I haven't seen the MOST IMPORTANT PART included. Is his a 2nd or a 3rd generation 2i2? 2nd generation 2i2 can drive up to 200ohms on the headphone outputs and the 3rd gen can do up to 250 ohms...
amazing video
What other audio interfaces do u think the 770Pro 250 Ohms is compatible with especially for music production on Ableton
Thanks in advance
Generally speaking, most small audio interfaces like this didn't do too well for every test that we did. My favourite device is the Yamaha AG06 ( currentprice.io/yamaha_ag06 ) and it does a really good job with these headphones and doesn't require external power which is nice.
Does the DT770 250 OHM headphones work well on the EVO 4 interface?
Can I use a 250 ohm headphone with a UMC 204 HD?
Why is the sound of my headphones low? Even when it is plugged into the focusrite and on full blast. It is a 4i4 3grn.
I don't understand - I plug in this adapter in the Focusrite headphone - and plug in my normal stereo headphones in the adapter and the sound is horrible, and only in one ear. It's only when I half plug out the headphones and it's just hanging lose - then I get bad sound but at least in both ears.
Try a different adapter or different headphones. I'm using Focusrite 2i4 and DT770 PRO 250 ohms and mine sound alright.
Hey, can you advise me what to get, the dt 990 pro 250 ohm or dt 770 pro 250 ohm for singing
Great info… thanks dude. Question: I just ordered the DT770 pro (250) closed back, it’s for the sole purpose of plugging straight into my helix floor, which is also a high end audio interface. Have I picked the right ones??😬
my friend bought the dt770 pro and i recommended the scarlet amp. will they work together?
They will work, just a little bit too quiet - in my opinion.
Off course, they will work just be careful to not buy the 250 Ohm version.
the scarletts have bad headphone outputs
I'm a video editor. Do you think the 80 Ohm version is good for me? I do a lot of mixing between sound effects and bgm, and I master them myself.
Can an Astro a40 be used with the 2i2? Currently the line going to the Astro mix amp is a 4pole male end. Is there an adapter to use the same cord that makes it fit the 2i2 headphone jack?
Hmm , I bought the 2i2 soundcard and the 250 Ohm DT-990 Pro and i find that headphone volume on max is quite low, so i tried some other normal headphones and the volume is much higher ! so I find that using 250 ohms headphones on the 2i2 scarlet it pretty low on Max headphone volume, I googled my problem and sure there are plenty more people with this problem using the 2i2 and DT990 250 ohms,
I hear ppl say to get a headphone amp for a 80 ohms headset. Do you find it necessary?
I don’t, but it’s clearly subjective.
I'm going to record music and play guitar, base, and a MPK mini keyboard with my interface being a focusrite scarlett 3rd gen solo (1 mic pre) and want to get DT 770 250 ohm over-ear studio headphones while using a 2020 macbook. I dont know if I'm going to receive top notch performance.
Is this interface more or less powerful then the ifi hip dac? (Will the ifi hip dac be enough to drive 250 ohms headphones?)
I have a silly question. I just ordered Scarlett and xlr Mic but I have Razer Blackshark V2 headphones with usb sound card.
Can I use instead this USB sound card the scarlett is that going to change something ? Am I still going to get surround sound ?
It would be optimal to find a pair of headphones with a big boy jackstick, the scarlett's sound from headphones, sounds awesome and on top of that you can setup a custom-mix in the scarlett control software :)
@@mariusandersen2952 Hey! I already bought another one. Everything is perfect and I am happy how ended up.
@@mariusandersen2952 thank you 🙌
@@ILYoT Oh okay, what díd you end up getting?
@@mariusandersen2952 M-audio air 192/4 or something 😁
You are very professional! I will buy a 990 250ohm and use with my behringer qx1202 usb, i have enough power?
Not sure. I'd test it on my Behringer audio mixer for you but I've never been able to find one that works properly.
@@kettnercreative thanks you, i hope they can work well..
Hi, i am only listening and producing music, but i am not podcasting or streaming yet. I want to ask you. Why do you need to increase the volume higher, than you would at just casual music listening? Is it because the microphone is quieter?
Exactly. The microphone isn’t yet boosted to levels that you would get from iTunes or Spotify. You need to do this boosting after the recording, generally
I'm using Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 with 250 ohms DT 880 Pro BeyerDynamics to produce music. Which means I have to keep my master at -6db during the production phase. I tried a couple of things but without success. They are not loud enough. What solution there is that would not color the sound of the headphone as I need them to be flat.
Hello, based on your review, I realized that the volume in the headphones at 250 ohms will be less, but does this affect the sound quality? I do not like loud sound and this is not a problem for me, the main factor is the sound quality, is it worth taking these devices together in this case?
if I want to get the Sennheiser HD600, what audio interface I have to get? or with this one and a amp im fine?
I have the scarlett solo and got my new Beyerdynamic DT770 250 OHM, but the sound is low. I am a voice over artist, and I use the headphones for monitoring my recording, editing and mixing. So do you think if I replaced them with 80 OHM, will I still need a headphone amplifier?
if you got an answer for this please adivse.
@@MohamedAmin-eb3jv Yes I understood that I needed to get an amplifier and connect the headphones to it, so they could be work in full power, cause the focusrite does not power them.
@@nourhanmagdi_vo yes for 250 ohm
but have you tried the 80 ohms?
@@MohamedAmin-eb3jv No I haven’t. I have the 250 OHM.
Did you get any preamp advise?
100% volume on 880 pro and not enough in fl studio for producing I need more volume.
Hey iam looking to buy the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm and Scarlet 2i2 for Musicproduction. Do you think its gonna work of should i pick the 80 Ohm Version ? Would be happy of i get an answer
Hi. Thanks. Is this headphone (250 ohm) good for mixing whithout any amplifier? My audio interface is scarlett 2i2 2ndGen. ?
Hello.
What audio interface should I buy to power both my 300 ohm sennhieser HD 6xx's and my Røde podmic (preferably under $150)
I don't know of any interface under $150 that can power 300 ohms for all uses.
@@kettnercreative okay, so how much would I need to spend please
@@kettnercreative and what should I buy
@@toes4574 I am not sure, but for 250 ohm u need 800$+ audio interface
@@genesis6991 yes, thanks very much but I have decided to but the schiit magni which has been working out great for me
I have one doubt. I got my own home studio. Can I use this headphone (250 ohm) for music production, vocal recordings, mixing and mastering in my 2i2 Focusrite 3rd gen? Will the volume be enough?
@meach a being thank u for ur answer brother 😇. Much appreciated. I guess I have made the right choice then.. 😊
WHERE DO YOU CONNECT THE POWE SOUCE FROM R F HEADPHONES INTO FOCUSRITE 212
It should be on the front to the right.
How about music producing? Please i really need an answer haha. I already searched in the whole internet for an clear answer.
I want these headphones purely for music production and mixing/mastering. I'm working on tight budget. Are these headphones good enough and will they do the job I want with the scarlett 2i2?
I believe so. They only fall short for vocal monitoring as far as I’m concerned
these headphones are one of the best ones and accurate.
Why would you use 250 ohm headphones for broadcast?
Some people get hyped on them and want to use them for everything.
Hello bro I don't speak English...I don't understand nothing... But can you tell if you recommend scarlet 212 with Beyer 770 250 please
I have the focusrite 18i8 will these headphones sound loud and good with the 250 ohms?
man, you think we all buy high impedance headphones just to hear everything more quiet? that's just one of many characteristics these headphones have. high impedance kills all the distortion, sound is sharper, brighter, flatter... or why y'all think we spend twice as much just to feed them? now... to answer your questions - yes, the volume is enough to do pretty much anything you want. BUT... the sound is just horrible even for listening, not mention mixing. So no, Scarlett doesn't behave like an amp whatsoever and is not enough for 250 Ohm
I use 2i4 (old one, Gen 2 probably) w/ DTT770 80 Ohm and it is not loud enough on higher monitor settings. Any recommendations for a headphone amp to put in between?
Did you get the answer? 🤔
@@kaankarabacak947 I bought the Behringer HA400. It cuts some of the high end but otherwise does the job.
