PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
High wearing comfort thanks to fontanelle recess
Detachable cable with mini-XLR plug
New TESLA.45 driver: Excellent resolution & extremely low distortion
For recording, monitoring & editing thanks to closed-back design
Soft & breathable velour ear pads for long studio sessions
THE CLOSED-BACK REFERENCE
Thanks to their closed-back design, the DT 1770 PRO MKII offers a high level of sound insulation. Suitable for professional recording, monitoring and editing, the premium headphones perform impressively as reference headphones both in everyday studio work and in loud live environments. The lively sound profile is characterized by powerful bass, natural mids and detailed highs.
It is particularly important both in the vocal cabin and when recording instruments that the artist feels comfortable”, stresses Product Manager Kevin Nietsch. “This often intangible aspect can turn a good track into an excellent one”, continues Nietsch. “The DT 1770 PRO MKII therefore has a sound profile that is fun, but at the same time always remains detailed and precise.

THE NEW GENERATION OF TESLA TECHNOLOGY
TESLA.45
The DT 1770 PRO MKII feature the latest generation of TESLA driver technology TESLA.45. Redesigned from the ground up, the 45mm driver system boasts an excellent resolution, extremely low distortion and outstanding impulse behaviour. The TESLA.45 provides signal fidelity even at high volumes. Our engineers have managed to combine studio-sound and flexibility thanks to weight-optimized materials. The DT 1770 PRO MKII has an impedance of 30 ohms, which means that the studio headphones can be used with a variety of end devices.
When it comes to sound, the premium model boasts precise bass response, transparent mids and detailed highs. The TESLA.45 sound transducers are manufactured at the company headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany. Each DT 1770 PRO MKII contains two TESLA.45 sound transducers, which are measured several times during the various production steps.
MAXIMUM COMFORT
The DT 1770 PRO MKII is designed for long studio sessions. The robust, flexible spring steel headband design ensures optimum contact pressure. In addition to the velour ear pads, the leatherette ear pads also guarantee a comfortable fit. The headband is made of soft memory foam and adapts to the shape of the head. The new fontanelle recess avoids pain-sensitive areas on the head. Both the headband and the ear pads can be replaced if necessary.
PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL FLEXIBILITY
Two different sets of ear pads are included. The velour ear pads offer the usual high level of comfort. The leatherette ear pads offer a high level of sound insulation. A straight cable (3m) and a coiled cable (5m) are included. Both have a lockable 3-pin mini-XLR plug. Everything is safely stored in a high-quality hard case.
INDUSTRY-LEADING WORKMANSHIP
Thanks to our decades of German manufacturing expertise, the DT 1770 PRO MKII sets the benchmark in workmanship and durability. Thanks to multiple measurements of the driver systems across various production steps, as well as the selection of high-quality materials such as anodised metal, the DT 1770 PRO MKII is a reliable professional tool. In the interest of sustainability, almost every part of the premium headphones can be replaced.
In which areas has the new TESLA.45 transducer been improved compared to its predecessor?
Both the closed-back DT 1770 PRO MKII and the open-back DT 1990 PRO MKII are equipped with two TESLA.45 drivers, each measuring 45 mm in diameter. The powerful neodymium magnet achieves a flux density of over one Tesla in the voice coil air gap, resulting in particularly strong driver performance.
Thanks to the structurally optimized diaphragm, the level of distortion and impulse response has been significantly improved compared to the previous model, leading to a clearer sound profile. The diaphragm, made of high-performance PEEK polymer, ensures precise bass reproduction, while the refined treble profile is achieved through a lightweight voice coil made of aluminum-coated copper wire.
The newly developed system combines flexibility and exceptional sound quality due to the use of modern materials and manufacturing techniques. With an impedance of 30 ohms, both models are suitable for a wide range of devices, providing reference-quality sound that meets the needs of professional users.
Why do the DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII have an impedance of 30 ohms?
Many playback devices lack the output voltage necessary for driving high-impedance headphones. The lower impedance of these models increases versatility, allowing them to perform well with various devices.
How do the two ear pad sets of the DT 1770 PRO MKII differ?
The velour ear pads offer the usual high level of comfort and balanced sound. The leatherette ear pads offer a high level of external sound insulation.
How does the sound signature differ from the DT 1770 PRO to the DT 1770 PRO MKII?
The DT 1770 PRO MKII builds on the sound of its predecessor but with enhancements in key areas. The bass is more prominent, mids are clear and transparent, and highs are detailed. The high-frequency range has been fine-tuned for a more balanced sound across the entire spectrum.
beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro MKII Review: Closed reference headphones
The mids, which still lagged far behind in the original, are now also much more detailed and extended, although they still lag slightly behind the bass and treble. However, the headphones make a big leap in the treble range, which is pleasantly airy and without sharpness. This makes the headphones an excellent choice in modern studio environments, but thanks to their low impedance, they are also ideal for listening to music at home and even for gaming.
