Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO (Gear & Review) - Explorations in Audio

Par un écrivain mystérieux

Description

I must confess that I had a relatively late start into the subject of headphones, simply because I had rarely worn them professionally, never managed to feel comfortable wearing headphones in public places, and always preferred the soundstage of our loudspeakers at home. This is not to say that I had never paid any attention to headphones. The first proper set of headphones I remember were my dad’s Panasonic studio monitors. They were of a closed-back design and had a second and softer inner ear pad that felt very comfortable. They cost some 300 dollars in the 1980s which was a lot of money back in the day, and—at least in my memory—they sounded great. My first own set of headphones had been the open back Sennheiser HD 580 Precision, and I remember being disappointed at how little they could do for me in terms of accurate bass. The Panasonics, by comparison, had bass performance so strong, they could hover over your head. Granted, this was probably an unhealthy experience to have.
