Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 Ω)

The 80-ohm DT 770 Pro is a long-standing closed-back tracking favorite, prized for comfort and isolation, and its 80-ohm load runs fine off most audio interfaces. It's a proven, dependable choice for recording and monitoring. For phone-only listening, choose the easier-to-drive 32-ohm variant instead, since the 80-ohm version wants a proper headphone output.
