Beyerdynamic Unveils New DT PRO Headphones for Professional Audio
The new closed-back DT 1770 PRO MKII and open-back DT 1990 PRO MKII headphones from beyerdynamic.
Beyerdynamic has launched the DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII headphones,
designed for
professional audio applications. These new models, aimed at recording, monitoring, mixing, and
mastering, incorporate the advanced TESLA.45 driver technology. This dynamic driver features
a
specially designed diaphragm, which aims to reduce distortion, enhance response, and help alleviate
ear fatigue during extended listening sessions. Both headphones have a stated impedance of 30 ohms,
making them compatible with a variety of playback devices without sacrificing sound quality.
Commenting on the development, beyerdynamic's CEO Andreas Rapp noted, "As we continue to see
the
lines blur between traditional studio setups and at-home production workflows, flexibility and
uncompromised audio quality have become key priorities for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The
DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII exemplify this, offering cleaner sound, improved comfort, and
precision for every production."
The TESLA.45 driver is distinguished by a diaphragm crafted from a PEEK polymer, which provides
deeper bass and more precise high-end sound. The aluminium-coated copper wire voice coil further
refines treble response. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent audio fidelity
across production.
The DT 1770 PRO MKII features a closed-back design for recording and monitoring, effectively
isolating the user from external noise and minimizing microphone bleed in studio environments.
Compared to previous models, the frequency response has been improved for a smoother upper midrange
and more balanced treble.
In contrast, the DT 1990 PRO MKII's open-back design offers a spacious soundstage, optimized for
critical mixing and mastering. Adjustments have been made to reduce the treble response slightly at
8 kHz, helping users avoid potential mixing errors, while maintaining detailed high frequencies at
10 kHz.
Both models include a flexible headband made of spring steel, with memory foam and leatherette for
comfort. A specific fontanelle recess reduces pressure on the head. The DT 1770 PRO MKII comes with
both leatherette and velour earpads, while the DT 1990 PRO MKII includes two types of velour
earpads: "Producing Velour" for fuller sound and "Mixing & Mastering Velour" for a more analytical
audio profile.
Supplied accessories include a 3-meter detachable cable, a 5-meter spiral cable, both with lockable
3-pin mini-XLR connectors, and a protective hard case. Additional USB-C cables are available
separately for connection with laptops, smartphones, and other digital devices. Priced at $599.99,
the DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII are now available on the beyerdynamic e-shop and Amazon.
