You actually helped me make the choice of buying the DT 700 Pro X Headphones and they're literally the best I've ever used for making music. Thanks for all of your hard work that you put into your reviews it is very much appreciated!
Edit: whoops. I initially asked you if you had ever checked the SRH1840... my bad. I just found your 3 year old video testing premium headphones... were you also test the Shure SRH1840? I'm going to check it now. :)
FYI: Beyerdynamic sells replacement parts so you could have easily repaired the headphones instead of replacing them. Not as easy as a plug in type but still a good option.
@@SanjayC I replaced the cable on my DT-880 Pros. It's requires soldering to detach the old cable and attach the new one, so it's a bit fiddly, but I don't really have any practice soldering and didn't find it too difficult.
They sell but the support is really horrible, they don't reply, or they reply and just next they completely forgot about you. I had my own really bad experience with them. :(
I've been using the Beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohms for at least a decade. They are the most comfortable headphones I've ever used and the sound quality is excellent. (Audio Technica's are good but not as comfortable) Price point is excellent. You'll see them al lot in studios.
HD600 and M40x seem like a nice pairing that will serve the needs of beginners whilst also providing the headroom to accommodate their growth for many years to come.
DT 990 250 ohms have been some of my favorite to use because of how comfortable it is. Along with it's mixing and soundstage qualities, the air that passes through the cups makes it a pair that you can use for long amounts of time. Perfect for film scoring.
I love my DT 770 80ohms, but I must say using them for the first time was quite confronting. The lack of Bass response and the very revealing midrange took a little to get used to compared to what I was using previously. However these are perfect for mixing sound that requires less bass response such as vocals and guitars. You can really hone in on the troublesome frequencies especially in the midrange, upper midrange and highs. I tend to use my monitors and sub to balance the low and sub low frequencies. Its a great method that works for me. Great to see what others use and how they get their results.
Thanks for your input. I have a question. I play bass guitar and I’m looking for a pair of headphones to track when recording and also for silent practice when learning new songs. You stated the better dt770 lack bass response. Bass guitar lows seem to be around 80-250. Would you suggest the beaters, mx50 or the Sony made 7506. I want a headphone that does feel muddy in lows, has good instrument separation and clarity.
I really l like the HD600 the most on this list. It has one of the best frequency response on a headphone that is right for mixing & mastering because of it's spaciousness & detail. I used the Audio Technica M20x for 3 years now, & the right side of the headphone is not working anymore just a week ago. But nonetheless, It was a great experience making music with the M20x! :) Right now it's hard for me, because I lost my M20x that started my journey on music. That's why thank you so much Sanjay for sharing these recommendations!❤ It helps me pick what would be my next headphone. Really appreciate your efforts on this one!🙌
Are the hd 600 good on the low frequencies? Do they got that "meat", especially in the sub range, with the right separation, so you can mix correctly house music, techno, and stuff like that?
I'd definitely pick the Audio-Technica M40X! It's a really nice, balanced option for everything, and the biggest bang for your buck, especially compared to the M50X. It makes more sense. It also really helps that it's so flexible, meaning I could still hear other things and people. Plus, I could take it everywhere much more easily. The comfort is good enough still as well.
I use the M40x at my work, but I work in video production, so it's strictly for field camera monitoring, not music production. I only wish they had velour earpads rather than the vinyl (same for the headband), because the vinyl flakes apart on your ears in no time.
@@ebinrockI have a pair of the m50’s and I’ve had the same thing happening. They’ve started flaking. I also find that they get warm with long wear sessions which makes them more uncomfortable. After only having them a couple years, only one side works. Not sure if it’s the cord or not. It’s too bad because I loved them until I now kinda don’t. I wish they were more comfortable and that they lasted longer. Now I’m using my AirPod Pros while I figure out which headphones to get.
Great video! These days, I use 3 headphone sets - DT770’s, AT M50x, and the standard Sony MDR 7506’s - they each have their purpose and strengths, and I use all 3 every week.
Hurray! I've been looking forward to this one, and you don't disappoint. I've been using the M50x for awhile, and I really love them. I've wish-listed the Neumanns, though. I'll definitely be checking out the Sonarworks software (via your link, naturally). Thanks again!
SanjayC is SOOOOOO right. Every set of headphones, even if 'flat', has its own color and take on your music. But like SanjayC says, get to know your headphones and their sound reproduction for your own best results. LOVE this channel!!!!
I've got a chance to work with the Beyerdynamic DT 770 and it sounds great! I also love how comfortable it is. This will definitely be added in to my Christmas shopping list!
anyways, I just really need to tell that i have this massive crush on your studio aesthethics...gives so much life to the video, thats definetely goals man
Excellent advice for the beginner producer. For me, I use Audio Technica ATH M30X and ATH M50X, as well as Sennheiser HD 400 PRO, Beringher BH470 and One0dio Studio 10 (not recommended other than casual listening). Always great advice. Always accurate information. Always good... Always Sanjay C.
I own a Beyerdynamic. Pros and Cons. 1st, Pros....The audio is very thick and clear. It is perfect for listening to finished professional songs and TV, motion picture movies, Netflix, etc. The DT 770 headphones are VERY comfortable on the ears even after 8 hours of continous use. But, for mixing I don't recommend it because you will be fooled into thinking the lower mids, and bass are present when they may be too low. I instead recommend Studio Headphones that are flat. That way what ever your ACTUAL lows or highs are that is what you will hear making your mixes more balanced the first time. The Con is a big one. The Beyerdynamic headphones break after about 6 to 8 months of putting it on your head. The problem happens when you slightly stretch it to put it on your head. Part of it is plastic and that will break. Most headphone companies just refuse to spend more building their headphones with just metal parts. Most of them are plastic with a small portion being metal like the slide out part to give an illusion that it is sturdy. The other Con is NEVER buy a headphone that has a volume adjuster on the actual wire like the DT 770 does. I mistakenly bought it and it broke also. Now to use this broken headphone I have to constantly squeeze the broken volume slider so that I can hear both left and right sides. I recommend like Sanjay headphones that you can take off the connecting wire and I recommend Flat Studio Headphones mainly for mixing.
I watched the entire video, and I have to say, the range of headphones you covered is impressive! Each of them has its unique features and strengths, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with the Sennheiser headphones. Their sound quality is outstanding, providing a rich and immersive listening experience. The comfort and build quality are also top-notch, making them a great choice for extended listening sessions. Thanks for the compressive review. 🎉
Aside from your incredible reviews, I'm so appreciative of the fact that this video and your speaking moves at a normal conversational pace. so many TH-cam review channels talk at such a frantic pace that I feel like I'm getting nauseated and dizzy just trying to listen to every word at break next speed. That is so fatiguing, and this channel is not!
I started with the m20x's and they are great for the price but the m40x's are my favorite. Sounds more balanced for mixing on the go. Great video as always!
I stand by the M50x for all my songs! I've been using them for a few years and they're so fun to produce on due to the colored sound. But mixing always came as a challenge for me so I'm saving up for a good Headphone to mix on like the HD600. As always amazing video Sanjay! Long time fan
i also use m50x and i got really used to them and loved their sound.. BUT UNFORTUNATELY my friend, once i started mixing for others and exporting more music out there, I realized that on average in cars and speakers and other headphones that my bass was flatter and my mids were HIGHER than i had mixed them!! thats a huge problem for me!! and go figure i then realized that the m50 BOOSTS the bass and lowers the mids! - and my friend that was jus NOT ACCEPTABLE so now I am really looking to either change to the m40 or the DT's
Instead of upgrading my Senheiser HD598's I just purchased Sonarworx Reference and that did a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE to the quality of sound. It's like I have entirely new headphones. This has improved mixing and mastering tremendously
It always makes me happy to see someone living their best life. Sanjay, you and your wife are pretty much adorable. Thanks for another great video. My wife "borrowed" my ATH mx50's and loves them haha
Thank you Sanjay, this was very helpful. I’m tired of the “punchy” bass on commercial headphones, whenever I type in “low bass headphones” on Google it gives me results for ones with high bass!! Wtf 😂. Anyway enjoyed your video! Thx
I can't recommend the DT 770s enough. Took a few weeks to get used to the clamping force on my head but now they're extremely comfortable. Soft cups and they don't feel bad in the heat of the summer.
Hello. Great Video. And for play piano , whats your recommendation? I have an ath m50x, i like it, but sometimes i feel the sound a little boxi for piano frequencies. Thanks
Loved the explanations! Only thing I'm missing are the AKG K701s. I have both the AKGs, as the DT 770 PRO 250 ohm - my preference goes to the AKG because the Beyerdynamics sound too muddy/bassy compared to the AKGs. I only use the Beyerdynamics for vocals now...
@@lavatr8322 really balanced. bass doesn't bang, so leaves room for mids and highs. so, really good for mixing. not good if u just want to listen to music
@@kadekais but what if I want to hear detailed bass , do they give that output? Like for Example Hans Zimmer music has a lot of thicc Low end and huge drums , I would love to listen to that clear low end
@@lavatr8322 its hard to explain, but yes you def feel and hear the bass in detail but its not the most important fq in the mix. its pretty balanced just the mids and highs stand out a bit more
Excellent video! There's two more aspect I consider important: 1) can you replace the earpads, and if so, how easy is that and what do they cost? (maybe you could do video on proprietary vs cheap alternatives) 2) maybe a bit embarrassing, but working for hours/days with headphones on will make your ears sweaty and increase the risk of fungal infections, even in your ear canal (itching up to inflammation). I wonder whether using open or closed back or the material (velvet vs. leather) of the earpads makes a difference.
Great video as always, Sanjay. I just purchased the Focal Clear MG and have been having a really great time listening and recording with them. I know they weren't on this list, but after months of research, I pulled the trigger on those. 🙂
Sanjay, almost sold on the beyerdynamic dt990 pro for mixing. Love to go for the neumann or the beyerdynamic 1990, but can't afford them. My question: for mixing and mastering, the old dt990 pro or the new dt990 pro X? will both up the game enough with sound correction? thanx.
I have recently found your channel and cannot begin to describe my appreciation. You helped me with my MIDI Controller selection, thoroughly, my launchpad (instead of APK), and now headphones!
i've had the DT 990 pro for years and I just love the way they sound, I use em for everything, editing videos, practising bass, gaming or just listening to music
Yeah, the VSX are way better for mixing purposes than everything else, I had Audio Technicas, Beyer Dynamics for a few years, then the VSX really changed the game.
I had a Senheiser 10 years back and unfortunately broke the wire which could have been replaceable. Unfortunately I misplaced it when moving houses. Love your video's Sanjay and your mixes are really tight.
Hi sanjay 🔥 Your videos are really Helpful , I have question , I am going to buy Dt 770 80Ohm Headphones , But i don't have Budget for Audio interface Much, I can Buy Presonus AudioBox Go , will it able to drive my 80ohm Headphones 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Slate has the best customer service. In the beginning they had a production issue with the plastic and they replaced mine TWICE until I had a pair that I was happy with. I'm sure if you reach out with that padding issue they would replace it no questions asked.
Yes, and I've actually recommended them before. I've used them for years, and quite happy with them. But for this video, I had to be very picky for my budget pick and isolation pick, so the Sony's didn't make the cut. But I'll always have the 7506s in my studio.
I've personally used the DT 770 Pros for years now and all I can say is that they're indeed very reliable at picking out problems and being very comfortable for a long time over many years.
@@SanjayC Dang, I’m sorry Sanjay, just got notified about a reply 😟 But since you asked, im actually eye-goggling (is that right ?😂) the Sennheiser HD 650 + the individual calibration by SonarWorks or a pair of OLLO Audio S4X, recommended by a friend. Are there any you would suggest for updating from BD DT 880 Pro with the focus on mixing & mastering ? Best Greetings and both take care ✌️
I think you changed the mic, sir? I feel your vocals have a higher low end in this video compared to old videos. Which mic are you using for recording during the shoot?
Hey Sanjay! For the higher impedance headphones, could you do a video on recommended headphone amplifiers for a range of budgets? I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 400 PRO headphones (120 ohms) along with the headphone amplifier FiiO K5Pro, but I have either been unimpressed with the headphones or the headphone amp, I am not sure which. Also, depending on the ampere of one's headphone will determine if you need a headphone amplifier at all. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Namaste.
Thanks for all the work and research! I'm going to return my ATH-M40X (my ears are screaming for help) and get the DT-770. With a Scarlett Solo, is the best DT-770 going to be 250 Ohms? Thanks a lot!
I have a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-910 cans. I bought them in the early 90s while studying Electronic Music in college. They are super great for mixing and I’ve had good success mastering too. I’m thinking about getting the Beyer Dynamic DT 770 to compare.
Honestly I got a pair of Shure's SRH1540 headphones on sale, and with these I've had the most success getting tracks/mixes to translate. Worth checking out (although a bit pricy)!
@@MrMitchellday I tried the 80 Ohms but it sounds very different to my ears and I didn't like it. I didn't try the 32 Ohms. I would only buy the 250 Ohms version. Please mind that you do need a suitable headphone amplifier - one that supports high impedance headphones - to achieve a reasonable volume.
I've been using the DT990s for years and got used to them but the highs are a bit extreme though for extended listening. That's only complaint. I want to try the Sennheiser 600/650 .What do you recommend out of the two? Thanks!
DT-770s are love. So are DT-990s Both are fantastic 'monitor' headphones. I would love replaceable cables on basically every headphone lol. I have a $300 set of Dunu earbuds w/ out a detachable cable and I gear using them XD I didn't know about the 700; I want one. I adore my 990s the most, though. Sooo clear and open. Is there a 900 version? :D (there is! but booo it's 48ohm...) LOL I knew the M50 series was coming when you said bass. Those things handle the deepest of sub basses, and are a good "fun listening" headphone imo. I've given mine away after getting the Beyers; the pleather earcups and headband DO start peeling/cracking after some years. Both sets are still being enjoyed! Thanks for sharing!
Let's go... the SS VSX and the NDH 30 for checking every technical problem and the DT 990 + HD600 for checking the emotion of the song - If they translate well the emotion even in the both extremes (flat and exciting headphones), your song is good to go.
Hey Sanjay cheers from France and thanks for the video. Definitely wanna try the Neumann NDH 30. What do you think of using the AIAIAI for field recording ? That way you wouldn't have the usual cable getting in the way or getting picked up while recording on the move ?

@@lavatr8322 its hard to explain, but yes you def feel and hear the bass in detail but its not the most important fq in the mix. its pretty balanced just the mids and highs stand out a bit more
Very useful video. Thanks😊
I have always loved the Audio Technica M20X
I respect a guy who has a delorean model in their background. Also thanks for this video!
Haha! BTTF is my fav movie
@@SanjayC Same! It’s my favorite movie trilogy!
Do those closed headphones work to practice playing drums or are the vic firth better?
Hi!
Have you change your monitors?
What was wrong with the barefoots?
I like the Audio Technica M20X those are fire!!
What mic are you using in this video? It's so clean!
What's up with the Golden Krks omg how did you customize them?
they look lovely
Excellent video! There's two more aspect I consider important: 1) can you replace the earpads, and if so, how easy is that and what do they cost? (maybe you could do video on proprietary vs cheap alternatives) 2) maybe a bit embarrassing, but working for hours/days with headphones on will make your ears sweaty and increase the risk of fungal infections, even in your ear canal (itching up to inflammation). I wonder whether using open or closed back or the material (velvet vs. leather) of the earpads makes a difference.
What do you think about the beyerdynamic 990s they are the same price and maybe slightly better than the 770s?
I’ve used the DT 770s for about 3 years now and love them. I think is definitely time to upgrade.
Great video as always, Sanjay. I just purchased the Focal Clear MG and have been having a really great time listening and recording with them. I know they weren't on this list, but after months of research, I pulled the trigger on those. 🙂
Sanjay, almost sold on the beyerdynamic dt990 pro for mixing. Love to go for the neumann or the beyerdynamic 1990, but can't afford them. My question: for mixing and mastering, the old dt990 pro or the new dt990 pro X? will both up the game enough with sound correction? thanx.
Not greedy - The Beyer DT990s would be great 😊
I have recently found your channel and cannot begin to describe my appreciation.
You helped me with my MIDI Controller selection, thoroughly, my launchpad (instead of APK), and now headphones!
Would the 770 or 990 be good for digital piano playing?
i've had the DT 990 pro for years and I just love the way they sound, I use em for everything, editing videos, practising bass, gaming or just listening to music
Jesus loves yall, died for us, and rose again! Jesus calls for all of us to repent! He's coming back
I'm interested in the Audio-Technica M30x headphones. How well do you say they hold up to this list? Thank you.
Are M30x good? As I am on a budget
Yes. They're a significant step up from the M20X, and one of the best headphones in its price class.
Yeah, the VSX are way better for mixing purposes than everything else, I had Audio Technicas, Beyer Dynamics for a few years, then the VSX really changed the game.
Same!
@@macdesi4321 do you use it to mix or just for final check?? I really would like to try it but i m not sure.
Bro. Thank you so much for not making this hard to understand this is the only gear video that has ever not frustrated me 😂 subscribed immediately!
Fr, gear videos are so annoying sometimes 😅 like speak English bruh
I have the Beyer DT 990 Pro model. Best headphones I have ever owned. If I rob a bank, I would love to get the Neumann or Sennheisers.
using m40x since 2018 & its awesome till now .....
Beyerdynamics dt700s all the way! bought them with my first interface and I coudn't be happier!
do we need an audio interface for DT 770 pro ? or i can simply plugin into my 3.5 mm laptop jack.
Omg you better tell me whats your gear for recording sound on this video.
Your sound is amazing.
I had a Senheiser 10 years back and unfortunately broke the wire which could have been replaceable. Unfortunately I misplaced it when moving houses. Love your video's Sanjay and your mixes are really tight.
which headphones do you recommend for recording vocals?
mixing only. what do you recommend now being a few months after the video posted
I love the dt 700 headphones
I can mix, track and produce music with them they're incredible❤
Hi sanjay 🔥 Your videos are really Helpful , I have question , I am going to buy Dt 770 80Ohm Headphones , But i don't have Budget for Audio interface Much, I can Buy Presonus AudioBox Go , will it able to drive my 80ohm Headphones
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Slate has the best customer service. In the beginning they had a production issue with the plastic and they replaced mine TWICE until I had a pair that I was happy with. I'm sure if you reach out with that padding issue they would replace it no questions asked.
Have you tried the Sony MDR-7506? These are highly rated
Yes, and I've actually recommended them before. I've used them for years, and quite happy with them. But for this video, I had to be very picky for my budget pick and isolation pick, so the Sony's didn't make the cut. But I'll always have the 7506s in my studio.
I agree Beyerdynamic DT 990 are one of my favourite✌️
I've personally used the DT 770 Pros for years now and all I can say is that they're indeed very reliable at picking out problems and being very comfortable for a long time over many years.
I wonder what is the best bass related headphones, because i have low frequencies hear loss, coming from my work as an car mechanic😅
So we've come full circle, during the pandemic, I was looking for headphones and now we're back revisiting them. Great channel as always
Always good to know what’s trending, Doh I LOVE my BD DT 880 Pro still 🥰
Hey, you got here fast! Nice to know you love your 880s. What would you choose for a second pair in your studio?
@@SanjayC Dang, I’m sorry Sanjay, just got notified about a reply 😟
But since you asked, im actually eye-goggling (is that right ?😂) the Sennheiser HD 650 + the individual calibration by SonarWorks or a pair of OLLO Audio S4X, recommended by a friend.
Are there any you would suggest for updating from BD DT 880 Pro with the focus on mixing & mastering ?
Best Greetings and both take care ✌️
I think you changed the mic, sir? I feel your vocals have a higher low end in this video compared to old videos. Which mic are you using for recording during the shoot?
Hey Sanjay! For the higher impedance headphones, could you do a video on recommended headphone amplifiers for a range of budgets? I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 400 PRO headphones (120 ohms) along with the headphone amplifier FiiO K5Pro, but I have either been unimpressed with the headphones or the headphone amp, I am not sure which. Also, depending on the ampere of one's headphone will determine if you need a headphone amplifier at all. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Namaste.
Why didn't you include the DT 700 Pro X or DT 900 Pro X's?
Which of these headphones would you reccomend for listening to a digital piano when practicing or just general praying without disturbing anyone?
I am literally here because my cat just chewed trough my DT 990 PRO which I has forever! Damned animals!
I produce, record vocals & mix everything myself, any tip on what would my best fit?
hi, i just hit that subscribe button. i liked your videos. what do you think about Audio Technica ATH R 70x?
I love my Beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X. They are so confortable and stylish. You can spend so much time with them on.
Beat making headphones. Which ones ?
Hey Sanjay , what’s that orange controller that you have in the video?
Love your videos by the way can you suggest me a headphone which I can use for music listening
My favourite out of the bunch are the M50x...I have used Audio Techica headphones for a long time and love the mix I get through them!
Thanks for all the work and research! I'm going to return my ATH-M40X (my ears are screaming for help) and get the DT-770.
With a Scarlett Solo, is the best DT-770 going to be 250 Ohms?
Thanks a lot!
I have a pair of AudioTechnica ATH-910 cans. I bought them in the early 90s while studying Electronic Music in college. They are super great for mixing and I’ve had good success mastering too. I’m thinking about getting the Beyer Dynamic DT 770 to compare.
I really like the m40x audio technica, bescuse the dont overpriced they do what they ment to do and they are very comftable❤
Honestly I got a pair of Shure's SRH1540 headphones on sale, and with these I've had the most success getting tracks/mixes to translate. Worth checking out (although a bit pricy)!
"Thank you for this insightful overview! The Audio Technica M50x is indeed my favorite. I've been using it for more than 2 years now!"
I love the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm. I am on my third pair. I tried others but found the 770s to be an invaluable magnifier during mixing.
Have you tried the 80s and 32s? If so we're they similar sound stage?
@@MrMitchellday I tried the 80 Ohms but it sounds very different to my ears and I didn't like it. I didn't try the 32 Ohms. I would only buy the 250 Ohms version. Please mind that you do need a suitable headphone amplifier - one that supports high impedance headphones - to achieve a reasonable volume.
I've been using the DT990s for years and got used to them but the highs are a bit extreme though for extended listening. That's only complaint. I want to try the Sennheiser 600/650 .What do you recommend out of the two? Thanks!
have you tried the ollo headphones?
What alternatives to M40x are worth looking into? I like how they sound but they are extremely uncomfortable and painful to wear
I'm excited to try the DT 990 - didn't even know Beyerdynamic had this model!
The dot 990’s has always been in my studio based on the quality in sound and also I can wear them for hours without being sore!
DT-770s are love. So are DT-990s Both are fantastic 'monitor' headphones. I would love replaceable cables on basically every headphone lol. I have a $300 set of Dunu earbuds w/ out a detachable cable and I gear using them XD I didn't know about the 700; I want one. I adore my 990s the most, though. Sooo clear and open. Is there a 900 version? :D (there is! but booo it's 48ohm...)
LOL I knew the M50 series was coming when you said bass. Those things handle the deepest of sub basses, and are a good "fun listening" headphone imo. I've given mine away after getting the Beyers; the pleather earcups and headband DO start peeling/cracking after some years. Both sets are still being enjoyed!
Thanks for sharing!
Let's say i have audio interface. Should I go for 80ohm or 250ohm if my soul purpose is Guitar recording?
Let's go... the SS VSX and the NDH 30 for checking every technical problem and the DT 990 + HD600 for checking the emotion of the song - If they translate well the emotion even in the both extremes (flat and exciting headphones), your song is good to go.
Hey Sanjay cheers from France and thanks for the video. Definitely wanna try the Neumann NDH 30.
What do you think of using the AIAIAI for field recording ? That way you wouldn't have the usual cable getting in the way or getting picked up while recording on the move ?
I have been loving the 250ohm beyerdynamic 770s got them on sale for 100nzd - about 75 usd, super comfortable with a quality feel
