First I must say that I have not bought the headphones in "Amazon", but directly "beyerdynamic" and under the heading "Manufaktur". So I could make my headphones all the way to my preferences. This takes a couple of "EURO" more, a total of 262.50, but I now have a coordinated entirely on me unique. And since I am already in possession of a 20-year-old DT 880S, I thought it would be about time for a new headset. So I went into a, by advertising, business known and wanted to compare me a bit. But apart from Sennheiser, Sony and Philips, it dose not fancy, not a single listener of "Beyer". My path led me into various hifi shops in Solingen ..... but what a disappointment .... hardly offers headphones .... Bose was there ..... and Sennheiser course .... well, I thought to myself, drop by at "Amazon" and since I came across the DT 770 Beyerdynamic and the consistently good reviews have then matured my mind time to look at the side of Beyerdynamic. It soon became clear that I would buy a very individual headphones to the manufacturer. I chose the 32 ohms version with earpieces made of black soft-touch plastic, ear cushions made of black leather, 3 m smooth handset cord and a personal engraving on the brackets. All together for 262.50 plus 5 shipping. My old DT 880S sounded very good and when I got then delivered instead of after 14 days after 10 days via DHL headphones for me, of course I had to directly perform a hearing test. For this I used the headphone output of a Denon CD player. I like listening to jazz and soul, put a my favorite CD and was at first a little disappointed by the DT 770, but only at first, because I thought that would play the 32 Ohm version louder than my old DT 880 S. But then the DT 880 S was the turn ..... they seemed loud and a little bass amplifier, but in direct comparison much more acute in the heights and in the central region very unnatural. The DT 770 sound much more neutral, strong bass and the mids and highs very natural. And the longer the listener enclosed my ears, the more I liked the DT 770 ..... It starts with the very good processing on (made in Germany), proceeds to the excellent comfort and ends with the harmonious sound, at least in the favored by my music. My conclusion: Buy headphones from Beyerdynamic .... Made in Germany will there be felt and heard ..... and the variant with Glattem- instead spiral cable is more convenient because it does not tug on the ears ....
