Frequently Asked Questions

The NDH 20s are significantly more neutral and detailed; the DT 770s have a more colored sound signature, making them better suited for different applications.
While they *can* be driven by some devices, a dedicated headphone amplifier will unlock their full potential and prevent distortion at higher volumes.
While foldable, their weight and impedance make them less than ideal for extensive field recording; a lighter, lower-impedance option might be more practical.
