Over the years, we've tested many products from Beyerdynamic, including the Xelento 2 in-ear headphones, DT 700/900 Pro X headphones, T1 and T5 3rd Gen headphones, and even the DT1990 Pro headphones all the way back in 2016. Their offerings across the price points have mostly fared well in our tests.

The DT 770 Pro X Limited Edition builds on the foundation set by the DT 770 Pro headphones released in 1985 and improves the overall package with new STELLAR.45 drivers, as enjoyed by the DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X headphones. The STELLAR.45 dynamic driver consists of an N52 neodymium-iron-boron magnet, a speaker bearing, a three-layer diaphragm, a lightweight, copper-clad voice coil, and a baffle.

Beyerdynamic Managing Director Andreas Rapp told StereoNET:

The DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition delivers the features that have led Beyerdynamic to the top of the studio headphone sector. With the latest driver technology and the pluggable cable, the headphones are aimed at modern musicians and producers who pursue their creativity in different places.

Additionally, the headphones come bundled with a new 3m-long pluggable cable terminated with lockable 3-pin Mini XLR connectors for secure connections.

For people more prone to wearing fatigue, the DT 770 Pro X features an integrated fontanel recess in the headband, designed to improve wearing comfort and protect potential pain-sensitive areas on the head.

Both the headband and velour ear cushions can be replaced as necessary, which is excellent news for the longevity of these headphones.

Rapp adds:

The limited edition model is not just a continuation of our company history. It is also a thank you to our community who has asked for a DT 770 PRO with a pluggable cable and STELLAR.45 driver system for a long time.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X carry a recommended retail price of £200/ €199 and are available to order now with delivery expected in April.
