Durability and repairability are the most important quality of studio headphones found in studios.

My DT770's are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. I could (and do) use them for full day sessions. Not to mention that they're built like a tank.

Have I heard better? Sure. But I only need one pair and they last forever.

I have the 32 Ohm version and use them for listening to music and for playing my Kawai digital piano. I don't do any kind of studio work, but I have worn the 770s several times for 3-4 hours without any discomfort at all. They are super comfortable, even though my ear barely fits inside them, so I'm sure I could wear them all day, too.

That's the weird part! I didn't think I would like them. I've got wide ears and other headphones have given me headaches because of that in the past. I've also heard they clamp way too hard on the head.

But then I tried them and somehow they do clamp tight and do push my ears but it's not a problem at all

Yeah, my head is kind of skinny, so the clamping on me is secure, but not uncomfortably tight. I have to kind of wiggle the cups until my ear is entirely inside them for a proper seal, but it isn't uncomfortable. I think they're great headphones!

Been absolutely thrashing a pair of DT770 250ohm's for quite a while, after 7 years of daily use the only issue is the cable starts to get scratchy at weird angles, and I'll be doing a cable replacement mod and probably keep using em for another 7!

Also crucially, minimal mic bleed.
