Beyerdynamic DT 770

IsolationSound Quality
Very low distortion levels. Below average tracking.
Frequency Response (4.21)
The DT 770s had an average frequency response. On our tests, we saw a good bass response that remains strong up until about the 4kHz mark. There’s a bit of a dip at this point. The response is emphasized again from about 7kHz to 10kHz before dropping down again.
The boost in 7-10kHz should give drums a strong attack. Any instrument spanning the 4kHz range might sound a bit odd because of the 10dB drop.

Distortion (10.90)
On our test, the DT 770s barely registered any distortion. These headphones should be great for audiophiles.

Tracking (4.76)
The DT 770s didn’t do that well on our tracking test. They started out slightly louder in the right channel, then the volume emphasis slowly shifted to the left channel. After this, the headphones are balanced for a stretch, but run into some issues just after the 2kHz mark. The volume shifts slightly to the right channel, then jumps to the left in a 9dB shift. This is loud enough to notice. After this point the tracking remains a bit erratic, but the shifts aren’t particularly noticeable.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
