“Update: I got the headphone and I have been using it for almost 2 months. Best headphones I ever owned in terms of clarity. Perfect for music producers.”
“I'm not kidding, this thing feels like a vice on your head. Add to that the extra weight and the excessive bass, and you have a headphone that quickly fatigues both your head and your ears.”
“Just got the DT 700 Pro X and they're so comfortable to wear! The only thing I'm concerned for is how they hurt the top of my head after 30 minutes.”
“i bought the 700 Pro X and the sound is great, but i dont know if my head is unusually large or they are super tight. they are literally sucking out air of my skull through my ears making them very tiring to wear.”
“To anyone here thinking of buyint the 700 Pro X: Do it. I've owned a pair since the very first day they were available in the market, use they daily, and they still look fresh out of the box. The sound is amazing, still on the same pads and the comfort is unmatched.”
“For me the 700 pro X doesn't have a headband that's sturdy enough for professional environment.”
“I have the 700 and the only remark I have about it is the long mini XLR plugs.”
“Still very happy with my DT 700 Pro X, had them for about 18 months now, absolutely faultless.”
“The head band peeled off in the first couple of months. The plastic that holds the metalic band for the right cup broke (more like shattered) after a light 40cm fall. The left one broke just this week.”
“I was keen that everything be replaceable so I went for a pair of 700 Pro-Xs. I'm delighted with them.”
“They are definitely headphones that color the sound, and I had them for 8 months and if someone tried to persuade me to buy them again, I would categorically refuse.”
“the headband cushion SUCKS. the glue that holds the leatherette into place on the plastic comes undone after about 3-4 months making the leatherette floppy and exposing the foam. ive replaced it twice.”
“I bought a pair of DT 700 pro X, and they are brilliant, but i can’t stand over the ear headphones. They make my ears heart, even with these soft grey covers.”
“I have the 700 Pro X and it is fantastic. I love the tuning”
“However I could not have been more disappointed in a headphone. These sounded tinny, and the mid to low mids were almost completely missing.”
“Got mines for about a year now. They have been my go to headphones bro and I'm rough on them too. They handle drops on tile like a champ”
“The thing that truly made me return them is the comfort tho, because while the pads have plenty of room and depth, they don't distribuite pressure very well due to a combination of shape, clamp force and small swivel ability, so ultimately they end up HURTING after twenty minutes or so.”
“I was in the exact same situation with my headband after 5 months, contacted their warranty and got a new headband in the mail in 2 days no questions asked.”
“They’re great for that, especially when plugging into a camera, mic, or audio interface that doesn’t put out a bunch of power.”
“I really only bought the 700 Pro X's because my DT 770s unfortunately broke, so to be honest with you unless you really want a removable cable and a bit less treble harshness then I would just stick with the 770s.”
“In the end, I'm not sure I will be sticking with the 700 Pro X. The lack of detail and muted quality really is noticeable, even without A/B testing it with something that does that better.”
“I am going to sell my DT 700 Pro X soon. For critical music listening I find them useless. Dominating bass, weak mids and shallow highs.”
“It basically sounds like a speaker system with subwoofer. Which on paper sounds amazing/brilliant/well done by Beyerdynamic, but then that does not mean the sound is actually all that comfortable, as having subwoofers on your head is not the same as having them in your room.”
“I bought these with a grain of skepticism, but I've been very pleased with how they sound.”
Ranked by the share of owners who recommend each one.
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“the dip on the 700/900 pro x is narrow enough that it doesn't color the sound too much. You can actually reduce this dip by wearing them slightly backwards”
“If none of that is an issue, then get the 900 pro x, otherwise get the 700 pro x. The 700 and 900 pro x are preferred over the 770 pro x and 990 pro x for most because they don't have the Beyer 8Khz peak that can hurt your ears if you are sensitive to it.”
“Got a cable from AliExpress I can send you the link in dm, not sure about the link rules on this sub, there isn't any difference in sound quality, but the cable is a different design compared to the stock cable, the only difference is that there is no cable noise, no rubbing sounds and such.”
“It totally depends, I think they’re equal but they’re also a bit different. The DT 770s have larger, wider earcups and the 700 Pros have smaller earcups but they’re deeper. I think you could honestly pick either of them and be happy, but if I had to pick one I would go with the 700 Pros for comfort.”
“I’ve got mine in 2022. Been using them for a few hours every week ever since. I ran into the headband issue but I simply send an email to beyerdynamic and received a replacement free of charge. The newer version of the headband has way more material and glue compared to the old one so I’d deem this issue fixed..”
