Beyerdynamic is celebrating its 100-year anniversary with the launch of a series of new products, including the DT 770 Pro X limited edition headphones.
Handmade in Germany, the headphones blend the reference-setting features of the DT 770 Pro with the dynamic Stellar.45 driver system’s flexibility and a detachable cable. It’s currently only available in limited quantities for pre-order at Guitar Center and Sweetwater in Germany for US$199, with wider availability to come later in the year.
The DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition has a detachable Mini-XLR cable. A recess in the headband padding protects against the pressure-sensitive fontanelle, allowing you to wear the headphones for hours on end, says beyerdynamic.
“We wanted to commemorate our 100-year milestone by creating headphones that pay homage to our past and empower studio professionals of the future to work however and wherever their inspiration strikes,” says beyerdynamic CEO Andreas Rapp. “By combining the beloved features of the DT 770 PRO with the latest driver technology of the DT 700 PRO X, whether you’re in a bustling studio or recording at home, the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition delivers an unparalleled performance.”
The original DT 770 Pro and DT 990 Pro studio headphones were originally launched in 1985. Designed for professional musicians, producers, and recording studios, these ‘phones led to the development of the Pro X series in 2021, which offered modern creators the best sound for recording and streaming. Today, beyerdynamic is combining the best characteristics of the two for this limited edition pair. Thus, they offer improved comfort, acoustics, and flexibility.
On the side of the headband, a limited-edition anniversary emblem is hot stamped in silver and features the beyerdynamic logo.
The DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition comes with ultra-soft gray velour earpads, a 3m Mini-XLR to 3.5mm jack cable, a 3.5mm to 6.3mm jack adapter, a drawstring bag, and an anniversary booklet with visual assets and information about beyerdynamic’s storied history. Additional availability will be announced later this year.
