As soon as you pick up the DT 177X GO, you know you’re dealing with a different class of headphone. The DT 1770 PRO had to be sturdy to meet the demands of professional sound engineers, and this model boasts that exceptional build quality—from the painted aluminum ear cups to the spring steel headband to the metal yokes. Many parts are made or painted in the same factories used by German luxury automobile brands. Subtle color and texture updates make for a refined look, down to the new Beyerdynamic logo on the headband and the Massdrop-exclusive dark blue stitching. Want to take your setup up a notch? The cup connections accept balanced cables for improved noise rejection and additional power from portable balanced sources and amps like the Massdrop x Alex Cavalli Liquid Carbon X.
