Frequently Asked Questions

The Hi-X15s offer a more neutral and less colored sound than the DT 770 Pro, which has a more emphasized bass response. They are better suited for critical listening and mixing where accuracy is paramount.
While comfortable, the closed-back design and relatively flat frequency response make them less enjoyable for casual listening compared to consumer-grade headphones. They prioritize accuracy over a 'fun' sound.
With an impedance of 25 ohms, they're easy to drive from most mobile devices, although you may find a dedicated headphone amp provides a bit more headroom and cleaner sound at higher volumes.
