beyerdynamic DT-770 M

Beyerdynamick DT-770M.
Ulkoäänen eristys:käsittääkseni eristää esim rumpusoundista n 30% pois,mikä tietysti säästää tärykalvoja ja estää päänsärystä ja korvien tinnitykseltä.
Ääni:olen erittäin tyytyväinen äänentoistoon ja siihen että itse voi säätää volymea johdon päässä olevasta napista.
Livetilanteissa ääni on tullut lähtevän miksauspöydän signaalin takia monona,mutta sen saa muutettua stereoksi boxin kautta liitettynä.Muuten esim.cd:n kanssa soitettessa on normaali steroääni suoraan.
Kannettavuus:kevyt ja helppo kantaa mukana Beyerdynamickin omassa kantokassissa,johon olen vain lisänyt oman nimeni ja yhtystietoni.
Työnjälki:selväpiirteinen,napakka ja on vaikuttanut myös kestävältä.
Käytän ko.kuullokkeita sekä treenitilanteissa että keikoilla ja nyt saan paljon paremmin selvää toisten muusikoiden soitosta kuin aikaisemmin:ei kaikuviiveitä ja mikä parasta fiilis on erinomainen ja soitontunto nautittava.

I use these with an fully acoustic drum kit while playing technical death metal in a concrete basement.
They do a very good job cancelling noise.

However, sound-wise they only qualify for monitoring while playing drums.
The lows are very weak (which is good for distinguishing separate hits while playing though), mids are there but lack definition, and highs are even worse. Cymbals sound very poor and sometimes even disappear while listening to music compared to other headphones.

Overall, the sound quality is very compressed and dry. I wonder if the extreme isolation is absorbing something.

They feel solid in the hand, and even more solid in your head (or atleast mine).
They grasp very well. They start hurting my ears after around two hours of continuous wear, but surprisingly, after having a 5 minute break I can use them again for two hours. A minor flaw though, the "DT 770 M" plaque has some very weak glue, it started peeling off by itself after a week. Easy to glue back though.

They work for my needs, but I wonder if there are better choices for the price.

Definitely DO NOT buy these if you're a sound engineer or are looking to mix something.

The noise isolation of the DT-770 M's is very good. They do have a small high-mid frequency leak but compared to ear plugs or ear muffs they have a quite balanced and good isolation. If you need better isolation, you will probably need professional ear plug monitors.

The sound of the headphones itself is not phenomenal, especially the high frequencies tend to be somewhat muddy. Bass and mids are quite balanced and overall the sound quality is very acceptable for this kind of headphones.

Quality seems to be good, no problems yet with half a year of usage once or twice a week. The construcion is fairly robust, I don't expect these to break soon. They are also surprisingly comfortable considering how well they isolate noise, but after a few hours you do start to feel their grip.
