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 reproduc-
tion. 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 beyerdynamic 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
participants, interpreters and hi-fi fans have come into
contact with beyerdynamic products over the years – ei-
ther 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. Since then, millions of audio professionals from all parts of the world
have become loyal users of beyerdynamic products.
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 studio and stage career. As opposed to many “lifestyle headphones”, beyerdynamic head-
phones are to last. Only the best materials are used, such as neodym-
ium 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.
Made in Germany
As with all beyerdynamic professional studio head-
phones, the studio legends are also handcrafted in Ger-
many. Backed by high-quality materials and meticu-
lous workmanship, this high-end product is a long-term
investment.
The PRO classics
beyerdynamic’s DT 770 PRO, DT 880 PRO and DT 990

The series has been designed to cater for listening in a wide variety of
environments, thanks to different headphone construction:
DT 770 PRO – Closed back (studio, stage)
DT 880 PRO – Semi-open back (reference monitoring, mastering,
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 cutting-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 extremely 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 listen-
ing and monitoring purposes.
Superior build quality
Every part is replaceable
These headphones are designed to perform even under extreme con-
ditions. 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 individually thanks to intelligent design and implemen-
tation. This is what we’ve promised our customers for more than 30
years, and this is what we deliver.
