BEYERDYNAMIC
HISTORY OF THE STUDIO LEGENDS
Founded in 1924, as "Elektrotechnische Fabrik Eugen Beyer"
in Berlin, the company has radically influenced and promoted
audio recording and sound reproduction. Products like the
first dynamic headphones DT 48 (1937), the first studio-grade
dynamic microphone M 19 (1939) or the tour guide system for
museums and factory tours which was presented by beyerdy-
namic for the first time in 1974 were milestones in this field.
But they are just three examples of the many innovations that
have made beyerdynamic a leading audio specialist over the
years.
Countless musicians, sound engineers, conference partici-
pants, interpreters and hi-fi fans have come into contact with
beyerdynamic products over the years – either consciously or
not, at work or in their leisure time. For the company, they all
belong to "Generation Audio", a family of sound enthusiasts
and passionate users.
For experienced sound professionals, the beyerdynamic DT 770
Pro is an old friend used in countless studios throughout the
world.
The roots of the legendary beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990 line
go back to 1981. Their outstanding sound and durable design
laid the foundation for these headphones’ unprecedented stu-
dio and stage career.
Made in Germany
As with all beyerdynamic professional studio headphones,
the studio legends are also handcrafted in Germany. Backed
by high-quality materials and meticulous workmanship, this
high-end product is a long-term investment.

variety of environments, thanks to different headphone
construction:
DT 770 PRO – Closed back (studio, stage)
DT 880 PRO – Semi-open back (reference monitoring, master-
ing, mixing)
DT 990 PRO – Fully open back (critical listening)
Sound you can rely on
The sound of the studio legends is without doubt a benchmark
for professional users. It’s secret lies not only in our cut-
ting-edge drivers, which are hand-made in Germany, but also
in a very sophisticated bass-reflex system. The membrane can
“breathe” in an otherwise closed housing and is therefore ex-
tremely quickand precise in its response, accurately replaying
frequencies anywhere between 5 to 35,000 Hz. This makes the
DT 770 PRO an ideal tool for critical listening and monitoring
purposes.
Superior build quality
As opposed to many “lifestyle headphones”, beyerdynamic
headphones are to last. Only the best materials are used, such
as neodymium magnets, a steel headband, anodized aluminum
forks, composite housings and soft skin earpads. All of these
parts are hand-made in Germany - with incredible attention to
detail and quality.
Every part is replaceable
These headphones are designed to perform even under ex-
treme conditions. Its superior build quality has ensured
that the DT 770 PRO is the No.1 choice for professional users
around the world. However, in the rarest of occasions should
something break, nearly every part can be replaced individu-
ally thanks to intelligent design and implementation. This is
what we’ve promised our customers for more than 30 years,
and this is what we deliver.
