Overall ranking: 6/10

This is my first review, so expect the formatting to be terrible

I've been using my Beyerdynamic Dt 770 Pro for almost a year now. I was upgrading from my Superlux HD 681, which I prefer in few aspects compared to the DT 770 pro in a few minutes within this review.

First Impressions:

At first handling the product, I liked how they looked, The ear pads didn't bother me that much at first but I through it was a unique look and impressed by the heft and built quality of this. Then came the sound.... immediately I turn up the sound and I notice some distortion that my previous HD 681. At the time I was a pretty new ( still am but more knowledgeable) within the audiophile space, so me not sounding as wide open as the HD681 was a let down but at the same time they're closed backs.

Sound:

As my taste in sounds matures, I start to appreciate the sound. The Soundstage and imaging are great. While gaming, I can pin point which direction the guns are firing at, same with music, with live musicals I can hear the crowds at back and where the music is actually playing. Bass isn't as punchy is the HD 681 but damn they don't felt like added sugar into soda drinks simultaneously like most gaming headphones I used. That's the opposite with the Treble, it's a little much IMO but didn't really bothered me that much. I don't really add much with the mids since Headphones in general should bring the mids as the #1 priority when it comes to sound, which the DT770 did good. Overall they're average sounding.

Material:

As I used the headphones for 6 months, I started to despise the material of the earpads. It was in the middle of summer and I started to itch while wearing them, and I find myself taking off the headphones every 30 minutes then put it back on whenever I needed to, the DT770 started to feel heavy. I don't know it was me starting to become more nick picking or I started to wore variety of different headphones but I start to like the light feel for the Koss Porta Pros then the DT770 Pro. Overall I liked the built quality just wearing them was semi-annoying after a few months of usage.

Would I recommend these? Yes. They're cheaper the last time I brought them, being 140 American dollars. I'd say if you liked closed back and wanted to block most (not all) of the noise while listening, I'd say get these.
