Beyerdynamic Announces DT 700 PRO X and DT 900 PRO X Top Class Headphones
Beyerdynamic has announced the release of two new headphones in its range, promising an unprecedented performance in the class of studio headphones on all playback devices.
According to the German headphones specialist, "the new PRO X headphones embody what Beyerdynamic is world-famous for: Trusted sound quality paired with maximum comfort."
The DT 700 PRO X is a closed-back design ideal for on-the-go listening on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Whereas the open-back design of the DT 900 PRO X highlights its strengths in professional monitoring, mixing and mastering.
The new STELLAR.45 driver was developed by Beyerdynamic's HQ in Heilbronn and ensures a loud and powerful sound on all playback devices. The new driver features a strong neodymium magnet and a voice coil made of copper-plated high-tech wire; the conductivity and weight of the wire are said to be "perfectly balanced". In combination with the newly developed three-layer speaker cone with integrated attenuating layer, the new PRO X headphones have a highly efficient driver system with an impedance of 48 ohms. The transducer's fast response and detailed transient reproduction, thanks to the lightweight voice coil, "ensures reliable sound without distortion, even at high sound pressure levels."
The new headphones impress with their functional design. Both models come with two mini-XLR cables, which can be easily changed and replaced with other connection options. Smooth grey velour ear pads and soft memory foam in the headband guarantee the familiar high level of comfort – which, according to the company, "there is no feeling of pressure or discomfort, even after several hours of wearing."
Almost all parts can also be replaced, making the DT 700 PRO X and DT 900 PRO X a faithful long term investment.
The DT 700 PRO X and DT 900 PRO X are available now and will sell for £249 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
