Come check it out!
i bought the 80 ohm version, what amps do you recommend for it?
try some monolith m1570 you'll never want to pick up bayer again..... gave my dt990 250ohm to my 6yr old never revisited was so night and day ......
I have my 80-ohm DT 770s plugged directly into my PC's rear audio port, and I only need to put my volume up to around 20-30 out of 100. I've even used them with my phone with less than half its max volume. I think you might be overestimating how much power is needed to drive the 80s.
What mobo you got? Haven’t seen much about just plugging it in pc rear audio port. I got a b550 aorus pro ac, decent board
@@ShiggyCompPt2 my 250ohm works on my phone too. Also at the same volume levels, even on my old PC from 2010 ...
Agree, I use hyperx clouds on pc and phone without an amp and they work flawless, they are 60ohm, not a huge difference, 20 ohm difference.
My laptop would not drive mine loud enough at all. Needed an amp.
This is the power vs drive convo you might find that with a nice amp you can get a much better sound at the same volume
Very helpful video, thank you. I just bought a pair of DT770 Pro 250 ohm for tracking, so looking forward to using them. Your video definitely helped me to decide between the 250 and 80. Thanks again.
appreciate the compliments... hope to give you more of the same...

Just got the 80ohm version. I used a sennheiser hd25 before which was 70ohm and quite loud on my maudio mixtrack hub. I wasnt sure about the 250ohm version because i didnt knew if the soundcard will power it properly and i didn’t wanted to upgrade that also. The 80ohm version is achieving the sweet spot of loudness for me without fatigueing my ears and having a clean and enjoyable sound while producing and mixing. Hope this helps anyone.
Plugging these into my Pioneer DDJ, would you recommend 80 for loud base while mixing / djing ? Or 32 for a wider ranger of use
good advice, thanks for sharing!

Can you get me one of the HD25 II...to buy
I'm looking for a pair of headphones for mixing at first I wanted the sennheiser hd600 but my audio interface only can manage up to 200 ohms so I'm looking for this one in the 80 ohms version
Best review yet for these headphones, thanks! Really helped me with my decision on which variant would work best for my needs.
Very well described info, thank you. I understood everything without needing to rewatch and this is likely the best made headphone impedance description video. I still subbed even though I don't usually care to learn much about audio.
Thank you for clearing this up, i’ve been back and fourth with the 32 vs 80ohm, im going with the 32’s, thanks so much !
yeah, you won't be disappointed with the 32's. earpads are different (and i do like velour, but) the 32's sound better to me on sources with no amp/high output.
Yeah so much conflicting information on 32 vs 80. I decided to go for the 32 ohm as well and bought velour pads separately
if you have a DAC the 80ohm are perfect
@@theorangecandle this i have done too :)
I think I'm going with the 32 as well
Best explanation!! So many low detailed videos about that topic on TH-cam. Thanks a lot!!
thanks so much!!

Excellent vid. Plenty of relevant detail and all of it straight to the point. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, I'm glad to finally hear someone recommend the 32 ohm version. Also I came here for this review, but will be staying for the aviation stuff. :)
the 32 is a great (underrated) choice!

Incredibly helpful video! Thanks so much for this.
Thank you very very much for explaining in such a grafic and easy way the difference between the three. You definitely helped me figure out which ones to buy! ;)
Great video. I just got the 250s and they came with a 4 port Knox Mic amp. Thanks for the thorough explanation, and MAN do you sound great on my new cans. Thanks!!!

I did notice the 7506 were slightly different in sound than the MDR-V6. I bought a pair of V6s when I was in the Army back in 1988 or so in Germany at the PX. I LOVED those things. I never had a pair of headphones before or after those that have that sound. Life beat them up though. My dog ate the thin fabric covering the drivers (I know how this sounds but it’s true😂) and then my V6s went down hill from there. Broken this, cracked that and they where just holding on by a thread at that point. I dumped them but to this day I wish I hadn’t. Man I miss that MDR-V6. You’re a lucky guy with all those headphones
Awesome information,
Thank you!
I went through 4 different headsets (incl BD 770 250s) before getting BD 770 80ohm; i'm using motu ultralite interface which has a decent output but wasn't enough to drive 250ohm bass-levels well at comfortable level. I found the 250s never had enough low end oomph until they were cranked, and the sensitivity on high end was fatiguing at that point. I think the responsiveness of 250s really depends on your source and varies between things like 'movies' and 'music' and different pieces of equipment. They're great if you're going to use one high-end amp and that's it. If you're wearing them all day and switching between 'critical listening' (mixing, recording) and general use, 80's had the most consistent performance for me.
The comfort and fit of the BD's is also excellent to wear all day. I found on-ear headphones (like AT M50x) got uncomfortable after extended wear. Depends on your head size, ymmv
hi. Do you use an amp with 80ohm?
The ultalite couldn't drive the 250's? I don't remember having issues with the m4, different interface, but that surprises me. I've got a UCX 2 fireface now and have had zero issues driving the 250's - which are my favorite set of cans in my setup for mixing and performance, but they are pretty much useless outside of the studio.
Thank you so much just ordered now 32 ohm one I appreciate and subscribed man
thanks much! hope to keep bringing you good stuff.

Best review. One of the few that explained the need for a headphone amp to push the 250 ohms sound. That is a very important detail. Otherwise, people can get frustrated with the headphone quality without a headphone amp.
Very helpful and informative👍 Thanks!
thanks for saying that!!

Maximum power transfer: A term I've had to know about WRT car batteries and starters. The same idea applies to this very good video presentation. For the car starter: the internal resistance of the battery equals the load (resistance) - the starter. Impedance is dynamic (moving coil idea) Impedance matching equates to maximum power transfer - output 250 Ohms and headphones 250 Ohms. IMHO not to throw techno jargon around just adding some food for thought. Once again I greatly appreciate quality sound and a very well done video, like this one.
Headphones don't follow the "maximum power transfer" theorem to operate optimally. They use a hybrid of current source capability, and impedance "bridging" which aims to have the lowest output impedance of the audio device as possible, compared to a higher impedance of the headphones. At least by a factor of 5 to 8, because if not then there will be signal loss (in voltage, NOT watts) and skewing of the low frequency response (for the worse, resulting in bloated and in-accurate bass response because headphones are modelled as a complex RLC circuit, the ratio of resistance compared to inductance and capacitance directly affects transient and frequency response). The max power transfer theorem ONLY applies to radio and very high frequency systems.
I was ready to skip around this video, but you have a talent for explaining things well.
Thank you so much, you really cleared things up!
my pleasure!! hope to bring you more

Awesome explanation, thank you!
Thank you, a really good review that answers the obvious question that most of us have. After watching your review I am now going for the DT770 250 ohm - BUT there is one other good reason - you can get replacement everything, no problem, which I've really struggled with for my existing AKG studio headphones. The earpads split after 12 months and AKG simply don't sell replacements.
This might be the best review I've ever seen! 🔥
thank you!!

Brilliant informative video thank you, so much better than the average unboxing video. I bought the 80.
Best video, best explenation on youtube! Thanks m8 !
Honestly, there is so much unit variance with this headphone model and variables between amps, dacs, burn-in time, and pads, that the difference between a flatter response with 80 Ohm vs more V shaped with 32/250 Ohm is negligible. They are all good at this price range and according to users who have compared them, have very close shaped responses in that characteristic Beyer tuning. I honestly, chose the 80 just to be able to use either amped or un-amped. With the other two impedances, you don’t have a choice either way, it’s one of the other.
In fact, some users, like Wheezy Tech have measured the response between the 80 v. 250 and found the 80 to actually be more quote “articulate” and “more dynamic” than the 250, which contradictory to Beyerdynamic’s descriptions, imply that the 250’s may actually present with less clarity, detail, although the 250 and 32 Ohm vers. use that underhanging coil design and less overall coil surface area, supposedly for better mobility and punch.
Also, he found pad wear to be a major factor (up to 6db of diff in the treble or bass) in the frequency response of the headphones. Meaning, essentially you can find at what point of your pads life gives you the sound signature you like, and that will tell you when to replace your pads.
With factors like these, plus varying subjective reviews, it really negates the issue of impedance differences. So, I literally decided on the 80’s for the greatest compatibility with my gear. I can run amped or un-amped, and if it gives a flatter response, that’s a plus for me. I’m actually looking for a flatter, more accurate response, particularly for my use in listening to my digital piano during practice and recording.
However, most of what I have heard from other users is that it is actually more shaped or colored than the graphs shown here by Beyerdynamics, and very close to the other 2 variants if not with more attack in the bass, with less highs. If this is the case, it will still pair well with my iPad + dac amp for listening to movies, flac files, and my hi-if concert recordings when really need to use a closed back for airplane or travel.
Thanks for the input, I did enjoy your video and info you shared. Will be interesting to see how these do for my needs, however, I don’t personally have the other variants to compare..
Outstanding! Thank you for such a well thought-out presentation. Any suggestions for an affordable DAC Amp for the 250?
Good video truly helpful, thanks.
appreciate that

Listening to your review for the second time with a pair of DT 770 Pro 250 Ohms cans very well driven by a SSL2+. Your input on them decided me for those. Thanks a lot!
Great to hear! Literally haha. Check out my new channel for this stuff: Brodie.bz/Production
I got SSL2+ and Im just looking if the 80 or 250. So no problem with driving the volume up whatsoever?? Thanks
@@bealotcoolerifyoudid7217 250 Ohms is the perfect match for SSL2+. Don't worry for the volume, unless you have severe hearing loss.
@@Cubasenet33 Cheers man
Focusrite Clarett + 4pre USB can take 250ohms or its better 80ohms? By the way, its for practicing piano at night. I guess the long wire makes more sense instead of the coiled wire. Maybe for musicians the 80 Ohms makes more sense here? Thanks!
Thank you very much, very nice explanation!!!
I appreciate it!

fantastic. i have the 250. pretty amazing. but i bought right now the 80ohms version for my dad. we use it on a studio but i guess he'll enjoy to mix check on his phone too.

Bought the DT 770 250 ohm for my bass and pc only version they had anyways enjoying it so far
Got 250 running out my Mackie Mixer drives them well sounds great. I use my AKG 721 mk2 for cross ref as they are neutral and show the fine tuning needed.

I have to been use 80 ohm version couple years and sound is good. I did not knowing about this, i just bought them. If you do not know better things you don`t need them. This is good and informative video . 👍
Man this is so nice I think this is the first video I saw that actually gets those differences concerning the voice coil types right and goes beyond that "higher impedance=high quality" blabla

I have the DT 880 Edition with 32 ohm and they are perfect for plug in directly into my notebook. They sound beautiful.
I purposely didn't want an amp or dac.
I'm glad you caught this video & just want to invite you to my NEW channel, "Home Studio Pro": brodie.bz/Production
I have the 80 Ohms and are using them together with a HEGEL SUPER USB DAC. Absolutely love them. Modded them so i have a 4-pin mini XLR on the headphones so i can run them balanced if i want to in the future.
I use the 32 ohm with my phone and iPad but however I use them with my vintage hifi amp (it’s not powerful enough to drive the 250 ohm) version but I am honestly in love with these headphones I use them for basically everything
Best explanation!!
thanks for the info, I use dt 770s 80 ohm for my ham radio live stream.. Was thinking of upgrading to dt 1990s they are 250ohm
80 Ohm
Very nicely presented and to-the-point, thorough info.
thanks very much!!

Awesome video :0
Great vid, thanks 🤘
So was thinking of picking up a set of the 32’s just for listening to music thru my phone (iPhone XR). I would also be using a small portable dac/amp.
Would you recommend these for that… just purely for music!!!
Or should I look elsewhere?
TIA!
Thanks brother, so you are saying that dt 990 pro are better for music right? If you can tell me, why is that, because i just want to listen to music and make some mixes on youtube.
I just got the 80 ohm and damn i love them
Hello! I really loved the video mate! Really helped me choose my headphones. I have a question tho, I plug my headphones on my volt 1 interface, does it have enough power for the 250 ohm? My goal is to get really clean mixes and masters and sometimes record in it! Thanks for the attention 😊
Hi Brodie, great video, got the 32 ohm version, fantastic, do you do a tutorial on how to change ear pads to the velour type, cheers
I don't have that one yet, but it's a GREAT idea!
I'll do it on my new channel..

Great video and brilliantly clear advice. Just subscribed and will come back. Thanks!
Glad Beyer put this out. This was a bit confusing to me also.
From what other reviews (channels) suggest, I always thought the most neutral or flat sound would be best, not overdoing it in any one area. Does the 80 give less distortion at high volume than the other two, or is there no difference, and have you ever had to use 32 ohm in a studio environment
Hey Brodie! Which headphone amp do you use? Any noise out of it at listenable levels? I find with multi out pro audio headphone amps the price can look tempting, but often seem noisy. LOVE these audio production videos!! Keep it up!!
my headphone amp is a "sterling" in home studio... nothing special.but not noisy at all. it doesn't have to boost a ton, just power the 250 ohm headphones, which it does easily. thanks for watching!

Very detailed and interesting review. I own the DT 770 PRO 80 ohms and use it with a Presonus Studio 24C audio interface which sounds great.
The loudest i can get at the maximum level is quite enough, but not overwelming.
That's the reason why i think that the 250 Ohms would not be correctly driven with this audio interface to get enough level.
This comment helped me. I am trying do deside on my first home studio gear and have desided on the presonus 24c interface and was wondering about headphones. I will start with only one set of headphones and no monitors. My impression is that I could get a more differentiated sound, wich could be better for mixing and making the music sound great, with the 250 ohm, but I understand from your comment that the interface would not be able to drive the headphones and get enough sound. But if I also buy an headphone amp, like the presonus HP4(or HP2?), I can connect it to the 24c and get great volum on the 250 ohm's right?
wow same here A1 One. Thanks a lot. i hve been trying to search allot to find whether 250 and presonus is a right combination and infact google YT amazon reviews failed to help. U r the only on planet i think whose given a review on this combination after using it. u r literally godsent angel. And infact Thanks a ton to Brodie Brazil for first trying to help me choose the ryt impedance and then you dear for cutting out 250 completely outta equation. 😃
@@jonasfrisjel582 yes with an headphone amp like those you mention you will get enough sound
Thanks AI One, I have the same audio interface and wasn't sure if the 250 ohm units would work. I have watched a half-dozen of these impedance vids by the "experts" and they have never verbally addressed the whole genre of audio interfaces specifically. The devices that most of us will plug into. At least Beyerdynamic did in writing.
is there any diference between the bayerdynamic dt 990Pro and the bayerdynamic dt 990 Edition? great video and very helpfull!
Hi ! Thanks for the video, i have Fiio Amplifier and also a tabletop SUCA AUDIO amplifier (which has old-style transistors on it ) My earphones are Bang Olufsen H9i and Fiio FH3 so my FH3 earphones are not so matched with my ear canal mostly they are going out from my ear while im listening, also can't get enough performance with my H9i so do you think haveing a Bayerdynamics will make me happy ?I'll just listen music and watch movies.
Great explanation thanks! I've got the 250 plugged into iMac at this moment. lol for the most part they are loud enough but they are turned up. They sound great, not sure about the fit though compared to Sony MDR.
This was the best review on YT, I have seen so far. @Brodie do you think Cobalt Drygonfly will be enough to drive 250ohms on my Iphone? Maximum output (re. 0dBFs into 47kohm)2.18V, Output Impedance (20Hz-20kHz)
to be honest, I'm not sure, you'll only know by trying it out

@@brodiebrazil it works fine
GREAT VIDEO🔥🔥🔥 & I just Subscribed! I'm a fellow content creator looking to upgrade & I just got my DT770 32 ohms(I'm connecting them to a RodeCaster Pro 2! Based on your video, it seems like the right choice for me or do you think the DT770 250 ohms would work better?). Also, it would be great if you can make a video on the RODECaster Pro 2.
I use the 80ohm version now after owning the 250ohm version...the 250ohm's need a really good interface/amp etc...ok if you have a PreSonus 1018c like myself but i still prefer the sound of the 80ohm version & after burning in with a burn in CD, & plenty of Rap for a week 24hrs on repeat, now they sound superior imo, all our ears are different...they do go more than loud enough so if anyone who has them then mind your hearing... lol...good technical explanation...after 40+ yrs playing music & mixing mates bands i'm more than happy with the 80ohm version...i use Sennheiser HD660s's for serious music listening (150ohm), if your using an interface i would test 250ohm headphones before buying as cheaper interfaces, under £300, might not give enough clean volume as 250ohm is harder to drive & cloudlifter's cost £150 for a single input one...more than the headphones cost brand new....only use 250ohm if you have a decent interface with plenty input gain or a decent headphone dac/amp...not cheap...the only bargain i have heard is the Zen Dac ll (£200-£250 with power supply) which has enough juice to drive 250ohm headphones easily but it's lack of inputs hinders connectivity....i would suggest trying with the equipment you intend to use with various impedence headphones before buying..the 32ohm can be driven by your phone no problem, though they use more battery power than iem's.....that long cable i think comes in handy as i use a rolling/sliding seat to move from side to side, depends on your set-up & what your using them for i guess...good vid bud...👍
Whats up Brodie, from what i get from this is explanation, the 32ohms are great for referencing audio in the field for example documentary/News work the 250ohms are for studio reference and the 80 ohms are for live musicians who really need to to hear specific instruments over the rest of the concert to keep their timing in sync. like when i play the bass i always have to follow the drummer or it will kill the groove.
I think you pretty much nailed it there.
I'm glad you caught this video & just want to invite you to my NEW channel, "Home Studio Pro": brodie.bz/Production
What do you mean exactly by studio reference, closest to the sound of studio monitors/a room?
Just bought these for my iphone however I do use a small DAC. I got the 80 ohms. Hope it works out. Waiting for them to arrive.
I use sound blasterx g6 as my dac/amp and it is a perfect match with my dt 990 pro 250 ohms. I really love to try the dt 770 pro 250 ohms also with this dac/amp.
Thanks this helped me I have the same soundcard wondering if it would be a good match
@@PboiStrider I think it would be!
Thank You Sir!!!
Ok, soo how do you feel about the volt interface powering the openback 990's 250ohm ???
Amp or no?
GREAT video also
Thanks!!!
Very well explained. It is sad the 32 does not have the velour pads because I was considering those otherwise. I want to plug my headset to a computer source and I don’t want to buy an amp just for that.
Impedance to the best of my knowledge is the combination of resistance, capacitance & inductance symbol Z, but your right in saying the higher impedance it’s necessary to have a greater input value. Great review all the same, I think it’s the 80ohm version for me, I’m just starting out recording, so thanks.
Hi sir. I trying to deside on my first home studio gear. I understand that the presonus 24c interface will not be able to drive the 250 ohm's, but if I connect a headphone amp to the interface I'll be good, right? Do you have any recomodations for a headphone amp? Will any one do, and will any amp be able to connect with the 24c interface? Might be a good bet to go for a presonus HP4 to be sure of compatebility and connectivity with the presonus 24c interface?
Thank you for a great video on this! I feel like the 250 ohm could be a good option for me after watching.
Have a great day!
Thanks - I was going to purchase a pair, but it's Too Confusing. I will stick with my Audio-Technica ATH-M50X or Sony MDR 7506 or Sennheiser HD-280 Pro - appreciate the information. Beyerdynamic created Paralysis by Over-analysis. Great job with this. oNe LovE from NYC
Good video.. I just bought the focusrite 4i4 I was thinking about the 250 version what do you think?… Help.. lol
thanks!!
Thanks
Just got mine , they’re loud af ❤
Would be REALLY REALLY best if the DT's were designed to have a plug in cable like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x and with the three lengths of cable.
they do, on the model that replaced them, DT 700 and 900 pro X
@@Souls4Roca The new 900 will not replace my 880 either, if only because of the much higher clamping force of 5.3N vs mine of 2.8N(DT 880 Edition). I also have a short neck so I'm concerned that the long plug-in cable on the ear cup will be more of a nuisance on my shoulder than the 880's. I have absolutely no problems with a fixed cable. It's also not supposed to give that much detail, but I've only heard that from hearsay.
totally agree!!

You can always splice some plugs on your wires.
@@bngr_bngr Having spent BIG money on a kool set of headphones, the last thing I would want to do is behave like a philistine or neanderthal or Cro-Magnon man and insert a bulky 1/8 inch headphone jack & connector in my cable to have it banging around my cheek AND perform the micro-surgery soldering job, but thnx for the thought.
Nice work. Couple of comments: 1) You didn't mention that some versions are available with either gray or black velour. I know that applies to the DT770, because I just bought the black set. I suspect it also applies to the DT990 (mine are gray). 2) When I was making my buying decision between 80 and 250 ohm, I was concerned my iPhone and iPad wouldn't drive the 250 ohm version very much at all. So I plugged my DT990 into the phone and pad, and I could hear quite well in a quiet room, which is all I ever listen in. Yes, I needed to go one tap below full volume, but that was OK for casual listening. So I wouldn't say it's true that the phone cannot drive the 250 ohm. Moreover, I think you said a phone won't drive the 80 ohm. Maybe that was true with earlier phone models or something. I have the iPhone 14 and the iPad 9th generation. No noticeable problem. So I went with the 250 ohm. My primary use will be for tracking using a Motu M6, which has plenty of power for 250 ohm headphones.
Any feedback using the 250 ohm with the Motu M6? I would really appreciate it since I have a focusrite 2i2 4th gen (just arrived) and bought a set of 250 ohm (before seeing this video) and now I have doubts... I will receive them today 2/7/2024 so I'm not sure if I should open and try them or just return them and order the 80 ohm. My primary activity will be to play my electric bass connected to the focusrite while listening to both my bass and songs for practice. I do have a license to the FL Studio software so I'll potentially do some recording but nothing professional. Any comments please let me know. Thank you!
Hi Brodie, first of all thanks for this great and informative video. I came across it as I was struggling to understand the difference between the 80 Ohm vs 250 Ohm versions of the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO. I see you mention them at the start, what's your experience when it comes to the 770 vs the 990?
I will be using them for electronic music production (mainly using Ableton) specifically in the mixing process (not for tracking and recording). My current Audio Interface is a Roland Quad Capture. However I do still want to be able to use them on a regular laptop without Audio Interface, so I'm leaning toward the 80 Ohm version (of either the 770 or the 990).
Thank you so much for the video! I'm searching for a good pair of headphones for music (laptop) and gaming on the PS5 - the 32 version seems to be the one! Just curious because of the softer earpads: would the 80 version also work on a laptop and the ps5 controller? Cheers 🍻
I wouldn't think the ps5 controller would give enough power to justify buying the 80 ohms version.
By any chance would anyone know if the Audient EVO 4 Audio Interface is enough to power the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm? If not please leave any recommendations?
i want a pair of headphones to plug into my guitar amplifier, and I want them to sound as raw as possible, also for recording and some producing stuff, which headphones would you recommend appart from beyerdinamics? or if the recommendation is on of these, what impedance should I pick? Sorry for my poor english :)
So I actually got the presonus revelator io24 and looking to get these too haha. Great video on these but little nervous on which ones to get. Which one would you suggest? From what you were saying I was think 250 ohm
awesome choice on the revelator! I use the 32 ohm version and extremely satisfied with that on the presonus... wouldn't even use the 80.

I got dt 990 pro and dt 1990 pro but still didn’t bought the amp yet.
People suggested me two amps which is Motu m2 and Audient Evo 4 but I’m still not sure if these will be able to power those 250 ohm headphones.
Need help please.
I have the Rodecaster Pro 2 and I have DT770 80 ohms. It takes some power to drive because on max volume the volume is really really low.
So for digital piano which one of these would you recommend? 😅
Just ordered the 80ohm I use a USB DAC Creative play 3 and a Play4. Play 3 has a 64-300ohm setting and the Play 4 will drive up to a 150ohm so not worried. Play 4 is USB-C so I can use any quality wired headset with my smartphone.
I have the DT 770 PRO 80 ohm version and sometimes I want a little more volume on my gaming laptop. Do you know of a good DAC that will work with these headphones?
Can a recent make TV set handle the 80 ohm headphones without an external amp?
I need help please, just bought the 80 ohms version but soon as I plugged them in from day 1 they produce a buzzing/distortion when the volume is a little higher. Any idea what could be the cause or how can I fix them?
Are the cables detachable? I want to get the 80Ohm Model but with the Cable of the 250Ohm Model
There is more to the Z matching here Brodie....
There is the maximum transfer of power relationships.
There is the maximum voltage transfer relationships.
This all comes down to effective maximum linearity.
There are issues with mismatches to amp output, but for me the big deal is the linearity.
Remember this stuff EEs out there?
Thx 😊
hi will the 80 ohms runs well on the Tascam US-1x2HR? or the 32 ohms?
