DT 770 Pro X Limited Edition Headphones Celebrate Beyerdynamic’s Centenary
With 100 years of experience under the company's belt, Beyerdynamic launches the DT 770 Pro X.
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.

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.
