If you’ve ever set foot in a professional recording studio, be that music, broadcast or otherwise, chances are you’ve seen a set of Beyer cans knocking around, and for good reason. Aside from the superlative sound reproduction and incredible accuracy they offer, they’re also among the most comfortable headphones you’re ever likely to find. Now, a couple of pairs we rate very highly have been the subject of some tasty Black Friday savings at Amazon.
The DT 900 Pro X model is the current ‘best overall’ choice in our best studio headphones guide. This pair is currently down to $249, reduced from $269. Not a huge saving, but a welcome reduction on a pair we rate. The DT 700 Pro X is our ‘best closed-back’ choice and has an even bigger discount, now priced at $249, down from $329.
DT 700 Pro X - Why we ❤️ them
1. Exceptional sound isolation
The closed-back design of the DT700s means minimal sound leakage, which makes them ideal for when I’m recording or monitoring in a noisy environment. This means they effectively shut out ambient noise - ideal for tracking guitars or vocals during live sessions.
2. Superior comfort
The plush velour earpads are truly a thing of luxury. Combined with the padded headband, these are headphones which you’ll happily wear all day (or night) without any of the annoying aches you might get off a less comfortable set.
3. Versatility
With an impedance of 48 ohms, the DT 700 Pro X work equally well across a range of devices, from pro-grade equipment through to laptops and - if yours still has a jack - smartphones.
DT 900 Pro X - Why we ❤️ them
1. Open-back design
Unlike the DT 700s, the DT 900 Pro X feature an open-back design that makes for a superb listening experience. For music enjoyment, in the right environment, they’re pretty hard to beat.
2. Superb sound
Equipped with Beyerdynamic’s STELLAR.45 drivers, the 900s deliver detailed, rich sound across a wide frequency range, making them a great option for mixing and mastering applications in smaller studios.
3. Durability
While they’re as comfortable as the aforementioned 700s, the DT 900 boasts a metal headband - padded for comfort, of course - so are designed for longevity.
So there’s lots to love with these superb headphones, and with these great Black Friday deals at Amazon you can grab a set and save yourself a bit of cash along the way. Nice!
