And now, Beyerdynamic's latest DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII studio headphones make that dream a reality. The Future of Flexible Sound and Reimagining the Modern Music Landscape with Beyerdynamic The first and most important feature of the flagship model is its flexibility and with the new impedance of 30 ohms, they are highly adaptable to a wide range of playback devices—without compromising sound quality. "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," says Andreas Rapp, CEO of Beyerdynamic. "The DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII exemplify this, offering cleaner sound, improved comfort, and precision for every production in the ultra-premium studio headphones Beyerdynamic fans already know and love.” Meet the New TESLA.45 Driver with Beyerdynamic: Pure Sound, Perfected The breathtaking sound quality can be attributed to a key component that makes the DT 1770 and DT 1990 PRO MKII a killer product to root for: the TESLA.45 driver. It's been newly manufactured and developed at the company’s headquarters in Heilbronn. Its advanced diaphragm cuts distortion or any disturbance and enhances response, preventing ear fatigue during long sessions and offering a vivid sound compared to its predecessor. The membrane is made of high-performance PEEK polymer that delivers a powerful, articulate bass, while a lighter voice coil made of aluminium-coated copper wire refines the treble. Each driver is thoroughly tested several times during production to ensure consistent, high-quality sound. The DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII models offer lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for a cleaner, more accurate signal. They also deliver a more nuanced treble response without sharp spikes, while still maintaining Beyerdynamic's sound signature—high detail and clarity across the entire treble range—ensuring precision for critical mixing decisions. Unmatched Comfort, Durability That Lasts The DT 1770 PRO MKII brings powerful, deep bass and a smooth sound profile, perfect for recording and editing. With its closed-back design, it reduces background noise and mic bleed, ensuring you stay focused. For those after a natural, open soundstage, the DT 1990 PRO MKII’s open-back design delivers precision and balance, keeping critical highs without the harshness. Both models feature ultra-comfortable memory foam headbands and fully replaceable parts, built to last through countless studio sessions. Included with each: are detachable cables, velour earpads, and a durable hard case—making them studio essentials. The DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 PRO MKII are more than just headphones—they’re crucial tools for serious creators. With powerful, refined sound quality, studio-grade comfort, and durable, replaceable parts, these headphones are built to support your work for years to come. Whether you’re recording, mixing, or mastering, they deliver the clarity, precision, and reliability needed to elevate your sound. If you’re ready to invest in a pair of headphones that truly enhances your craft, look no further. The Big Question... How Much?
