Frequently Asked Questions

The Hi-X20s offer slightly better isolation due to the more complete closed-back seal, though the DT 770 Pro's passive isolation is still very good.
While they *will* work, the low impedance means you might experience reduced volume and dynamic range; a dedicated amp will unlock their full potential.
Austrian Audio doesn't officially offer replacement earcups, and aftermarket options are currently limited, which could be a consideration for long-term use.
