beyerdynamic has announced four new limited-edition studio headphones, bringing an all-black design to its professional PRO X lineup. The new DT 770 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION, DT 990 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION, DT 700 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION, and DT 900 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION are designed for different professional audio applications, including recording, monitoring, mixing, mastering, and critical listening.

All four models feature dynamic STELLAR.45 drivers, a 48-ohm impedance rating, and beyerdynamic’s Made in Germany manufacturing. The company is retaining the core features of its existing professional headphones while introducing an entirely black finish, including exclusive black velour ear pads.
The new color option also addresses a practical requirement in professional studio environments. LITTLE BIG BEAT STUDIOS in Liechtenstein requested a completely black version of the DT 770 PRO X for its STUDIO LIVE SESSIONS, where more than 100 pairs of headphones can be used during productions. Reflective surfaces and unnecessary visual distractions can become an issue in such environments.
Manfred “LITTLE” Konzett, founder of LITTLE BIG BEAT STUDIOS, explained the reason behind the decision:
“For us, the black finish was never a matter of taste, but a specific production requirement. When over 100 pairs of headphones are in use during our STUDIO LIVE SESSIONS, every detail must work: no disruptive reflections, nothing to distract from the artist and the music. That’s exactly why we wanted our DT 770 PRO X to be completely black.”




The four models target different studio workflows. The closed-back DT 770 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION is designed for recording and monitoring, offering powerful bass and detailed treble reproduction. The DT 700 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION also uses a closed-back design, making it suitable for music production and focused mixing in environments where noise isolation is important.
For open-back designs, the DT 900 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION targets mixing and mastering with balanced sound reproduction for evaluating fine details and spatial relationships. The DT 990 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION, meanwhile, is intended for critical listening and editing, helping audio professionals identify subtle nuances and inconsistencies.

Despite the different applications, all four headphones share the same core hardware specifications. Their STELLAR.45 drivers and 48-ohm impedance allow them to work with a range of audio equipment, from professional audio interfaces to compatible mobile devices.
beyerdynamic is also retaining the construction features associated with its professional lineup, including comfortable ear cushions for extended listening sessions, durable materials, and interchangeable components. All four models are manufactured in Germany, with the company emphasizing precision manufacturing and long-term spare-part availability to support extended use in professional studios.

The beyerdynamic PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION headphones will go on sale on November 13, 2026, through the company’s online store and authorized retailers. The DT 770 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION and DT 990 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION will cost €199 each, while the DT 700 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION and DT 900 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION will retail for €249.
