What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the DT 700 Pro X is well built, comfortable over long sessions and highly detailed, suiting tracking and critical listening. MusicRadar found it bulky and not very portable and sees little reason to upgrade from a DT 770 Pro, What Hi-Fi? thinks some rivals sound more exciting, and SoundGuys finds the price high.
