As far as sound quality goes, are these superior to Beyerdynamic's DT-770 headphones? I'll be using mine predominantly for recording in the studio.

Sorry I can;t really help you out there, I have never used the Beyerdynamic's DT-770. I would be interested in hearing your input on the H6. The ones I had really stunk. I'm beginning to wonder if they were defective, and they never tested them. Seems pretty lame for B&O; to not test them. I can't imagine anyone using them for anything beyond a door stop.
268411
No. The Beoplay H6 sounds tinny, and would not be a good choice for professional studio work. Sorry.

I can't say for sure but as the Beyers tend to be a bit 'bright' I'd say the h6 would be fine. Mids on the Beyers are more forward but overal sound of the H6 is more flat and balanced.

Kae, I haven't heard the DT-770, but what I can tell you is the Beoplay H6 is a polar opposite of all consumer headphones on the market (beats and bose etc) they are VERY bass lite and are amazingly well balanced. They are not "clinical" or overly bright, they just sound right. It is the recordings pureness that defines the sound with these. There is no coloring or tilt to the sound. I can compare them to my custom UE-4pros and they share a very close sound signature!! I would suggest that you try them out and return them to amazon if you don't like the sound. I give these a 5/5 for sound!!!

Hi William. I'm not a audiophile by any means, but the highs on these specific headphones seem to be okay for their price. Hope this helps.

For open headphones, these are pretty bass heavy.I would say that they have more bass than the headphones I've listened to personally. (Grado Sr60/80/325i, AKG K271,Q701)Personally, I would consider them to have good bass response and that seems to be the shared opinion of other owners on Head-Fi.

Really good, I have had beats, beyerdynamics, and K701's. These headphones are up there with the sound quality and build. No one will be able to listen to your music even at full volume. Unless of course they are right up on top of you face to face (a crowded subway car or bus) but even then it will take some effort. As for the noise cancellation yes if you put these on you will be able to reduce environmental sounds by at least 90% you will still be able to here people who are talking loud in between songs but if there is music playing you'll have to take them off to hear. Over all money well spent and the price is really surprising for the quality. A must own for anyone looking for a decent pair of headphones that are above the professional average.

They sound just as good as beats. I did a direct comparison myself. Plus they are really high quality. They will last a long time. No reservations, just but them!!

It depends on whay you want. If you can try both of them somewhere do that. They are both quality headphones. I own a pair of HD8 and they are great when it comes to separating different sounds and instruments clearly. If you are looking into something with plenty of bass response or some other type o sound tendency these are not for u.

Hello. I listen to my headphones in amplifier of Technics and sound great. Sound card, which you want to buy seems to be very nice. There are also built-in amplifier for headphones and very high quality. I see no reason these headphones do not sound good, not to say super good. Good choice in my opinion!

These headphones sound more like a fine tuned night club. The bass is present, lush, tight, and gorgeous. An amp will only help, but isn't necessary. If there's no bass in the song, you won't hear any. If you want that "bass in your face" feeling, I'd recommend the XB500, which is far cheaper. It will make any song sound bassy, and sounds more like 2 15" juggernaut subwoofers rattling in your car. Not nearly as clean. Personally, I enjoy the XB1000's, but pick whatever one sounds like you'd be into.

For noise isolation they work great, classical I find rather underwhelming. Perhaps due to the small or lack of sound-stage, although when I used them with a dac/amp on my PC it improved that aspect by a large amount. Still, I find them lacking in the classical genre and quite a few others, except perhaps hip-hop/electronic music which I don't listen to that much of anymore.

No loss in quality when using them, via Bluetooth, on my 2012 15" MacBook Pro. The sound profile of these has been changed compared to the old Studio headphones, the ones made by Monster. Beats split from Monster a while back and have finally started to update their headphones for the better. Like the previous Studio headphones, the bass on the new Studios (i.e. these ones) is pretty heavy. However, the highs have also been given an equal amount of attention. They no long sound like the headphones are playing through a 1ft layer of mud. So the bass is still heavy but the highs sound much better too. I sold my old Studio headphones a while back as I hated the way they sounded but I will be keeping these ones.

There just better they won the 2009 mix technology of the year award & have a flat frequency response. If your an audiophile you should know beats are a P.O.S they attenuate the bass frequencies and get ride of the mids and highs and leak a ton. Where as these don't leak heavily like beats cause the Audio Technicas are closed backed headphones so there are good to record on the mic. Also they don't have noise reduction which always reduces the quality of the audio. I also find the audio technicas pretty comfy I can wear them for hours on end without my ears starting to hurt. Furthermore, I feel the beats are more comfortable because of the pads. Also the poor construction of the plastic make them feel flimsy they leak and people can hear what your listening to. But if your an average consumer and not an Audio Engineer, Singer, or Audiophile & more conceded with how beats look buy the beats.

I use them most of the time with my computer, the quality of sound is amazing, hi-def. You will find yourself discovering sounds you didn't notice before on a track. I tried myself the Beats Studio and Executive and I can tell the AudioTechnica ATHM50RD is a solid contender. They are powerful, the base sounds amazing, they are made of plastic but good quality plastic (solid). For the price you get an amazing product, the only thing I could complain is that your ears will get warm/hot after an hour os so.

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

is this a serious question? Monster headphones are horrible, if you get these you'll honestly think these are the best headphones in the world, i own a pair of the M30s and they are very good. i'll more than likely pick these up. so if you are considering monster audio and these, dont hesitate buy these right now

I would go for the Beyerdynamic Velour Padded Earcushions for DT250, DT280 those would fit and Velours are more comfortable in my opinion, If your going the velour path. The bass would be softer and the mids/highs to be more on the brighter side. Soundstage should be the same, But I'm thinking all for comforts sake.

We'll hopefully you have sound settings like I do on my iPad, but regardless they are not distorting. I use mine primarily for home theater movies after hours. These are exceptional headphones and built very well. Bye
