Frequency response notes
Typical beyerdynamic sound with decent bass, a carved-out midrange and a bump from about 3.5 kHz to 9 kHz.5Measurementsonarworks.com/soundid-reference/blog/reviews/beyerdynamic-dt770-250-reviewRead 11 October 2026Sonarworks measurement of the 250 ohm version, reviewed on its site: typical beyerdynamic sound with decent bass, a carved-out midrange and a bump from 3.5 kHz to 9 kHz.
Default tuning has a dip near 5 kHz and a peak near 8 kHz. ANC changes the bass response, so EQ settings can depend on ANC state.5Measurementsoundguys.com/steelseries-arctis-nova-elite-review-143999Read 8 October 2026Objective Measurements against SoundGuys house target, default tuning, stock pads.
