Beyerdynamic DT 770

Cable Connectivity (12.97)

The DT 770s’ cord is 10 feet, 3.375 inches long. This is a good length for a set of at-home cans. You should be able to relax on your easy chair and connect to the system across the room just fine. The DT 770s also come with a 1/4-inch adapter.

Portability (0.29)

The DT 770s aren’t very portable. If you’re looking for a set of travel headphones, there are far more feasible options out there. The cord is really long; having eight or so feet of cord balled up in your pocket is cumbersome. Further, the headphones themselves, as full-sized over-ears, aren’t particularly easy to cart around.

If you’re going for portability, in-ears are the obvious choice, but short of that, look for a set of headphones with a more manageable cord length.

Maintenance (2.50)

The DT 770s aren’t that easy to maintain. The cord isn’t detachable like on the Sennheiser HD 650s, and you can’t get much further than removing the pads in terms of disassembly. You can remove the pads, however, so if they get overly smooshed or torn, you can purchase replacements.

Battery

Thankfully for everyone involved, the DT 770s don’t require a battery in order to operate as normal. We award points for this because batteries are annoying.
