Score: 88/100Rankings
The DT 770 Pro 80 Ω is a robust, closed-back studio headphone offering detailed sound and excellent passive isolation, built with German craftsmanship and replaceable parts. While it excels in durability and audio performance, its non-detachable cable and bright treble may be drawbacks for some users.
