Overall, the blending of instruments and vocals are harmoniously stellar to sound more in natural and musical side rather than to be more analytical. I think you’re better off getting professional headphones earlier rather than later in your home recording career, just so you get a better idea of what good sounds like, and you don’t get too comfortable with cheap being the standard you expect and become comfortable with. Go into any top recording studio and the chances are that you'll find not one, but numerous pairs of Beyerdynamic DT100 headphones. DT100s are tough, they're loud and you can replace almost all the parts in the field, but to be honest, they aren't the best sounding headphone on the market. They're fine for musicians monitoring while recording, but less good for making value judgements on a mix. In recent years, Beyerdynamic has extended the DT series considerably, each time bringing about an improvement in sound, and the latest in that illustrious line is the DT770 reviewed here. Alas, they only lasted a few years. As ever, you get what you pay for, and they didn’t survive the multiple accommodation moves that one goes through in their early twenties.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), a bit more quantity on the DT100 and more textured. Tightness and speed are a bit better on the DT200 so it is cleaner on the DT200 but more fun and natural on the DT100. Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), Cello tonality, timbre and texture are much better on the DT100 while details is similar. Violin tonality, details and treble extension are a bit better on the DT200 but better timbre on the DT100.Undoubtedly, this is one of the strengths of this IEM on how mids are very appealing to its listeners, its naturalness, with some added warmth, transparent and accurate tonal colour. Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), Cello tonality, timbre, texture and details are better on the DT100. Violin tonality is better on the T180 Pro but texture, details, timbre are better on the DT100. Similar treble extension.

I’ve had my DT-100s for a while now. I’m not saying I’ll never use another pair of headphones, but since I got these, i just haven’t needed to even consider it. I’ve used them to record multiple albums, for guitar, bass, drums, vocals, keys, percussion… all of it! I’e also used them for DJ sets a couple of times. The DT100's bass is more presented in the audio spectrum on accentuated manner, well-precised, has a decent punchiness and has an agile transients.

Build: Resin build and it has a small vent near the mmcx connector (but it doesn’t do anything to isolation or comfort, so feels more like a ventless shell). Has a metal mesh in the nozzle but no lip for the tips. Shell is on the smaller side and doesn’t weight a lot. The layered plastic and metal headband construction attenuate sound vibrations to the earcups and the earpads made up of handmade microfiber offer exceptional comfort for long listening periods and enjoyment. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

Soundwise, the DT770s don't display any of the boxy characteristics of earlier closed models and they present the mid and high frequencies extremely clearly, responding well to dynamic transients. Similarly, the low end doesn't disappoint, with more than adequate low‑frequency extension and a good balance between the bass and the mid/high part of the spectrum. The nominal SPL is around 96dB, with 100mW of power equating to 116dB. A typical safe monitoring level for moderate periods is around 90dB. Hiroyuki Sawano &Z (02:18-02:57), good tonality but instrument separation, imaging and overall resolution could be better. At the same time, my experience in home recording had increased a great deal, so I was more confident in buying better gear. Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), cleaner on the DT200 due to it being faster and tighter. A bit more quantity and texture on the DT100. Imaging surprising performs well as I can pinpoint on each placement of instruments and vocals with a decent sense of spacing and gaps on each other but my only slight whining on this one that layering aspect needs an improvement as it give off a slight flaw on an already good 3D-like holographic spatial chamber.

beyerdynamic DT 100 Headphones, 16 Ohm, Black Overview

Hiroyuki Sawano &Z (02:18-02:57), better tonality, details and clarity on the FH3 but better timbre (mids/treble) on the DT100. Capable of handling very high SPL Rugged, easy serviceable construction as all parts are replaceable Single-sided, detachable cable Overall: The T180 Pro is very different from the DT100. While the DT100 is a warm bass-boosted neutral iem that sounds closer to a DD iem rather than BA. The T180 Pro is a n-shaped iem with more vocal focused sound. Although they both have a single BA, the DT100 is more technical and higher resolution.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), similar quantity but a lot better texture on the DT100 while speed and tightness are a bit better on the DT100.

Mids: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), instrument tonality is a bit better on the DT100 but better vocal tonality on the FH3 as well as more forward vocals. But timbre (mids/treble) is actually better on the DT100, although overall sound is cleaner and more detailed on the FH3. Mids: Very natural mids due to the timbre and tonality (especially with the male vocals). But female vocals are a bit too warm while it makes the male vocals are great. Balancing is pretty good but leans a bit towards male vocals.
