Review on beyerdynamic DT1770 Pro Studio Headphone, DT1770 PRO (DT1770 PRO) by Rick Malloy

The dt1770 headphones suffer from driver rattle, as many reviewers have noted. I found a solution to this problem by playing music or checking the frequency on YouTube if the driver is even known to rattle (it must be low bass music). Just give a few taps to the outside of the earbud, which is known to rattle when playing music, and the rattling should be eliminated, it really is that simple. It worked for me, but it's still unacceptable that premium headphones at this price point suffer from quality control issues. Ignore the reviewers who say these are neutral headphones, they're just as "neutral" as the dt770. They tend towards the "fun sound" that beyerdynamic is usually known for. It has a bass-sonic signature with deep, powerful and strong bass while avoiding mud. The mids are a bit closed and a bit unnatural, but not audible. The slightly offset mids make these headphones a very wide soundstage for closed-back headphones, which I think is a worthy compromise. The highs have a spark that helps keep everything sounding clean and clear. The wearing comfort is quite good, but still far from "put it on and forget it", you always know that you are wearing it. Thanks to the leather earcups, they have excellent isolation, way better than any other closed-back headphones I own. Speaking of ear pads, the replacement ear pads are a joke as they are very uncomfortable to put back on after you take them off. Each earbud makes a creaking noise when pressed, which is very disappointing considering how beautiful these earbuds are.
