Beyerdynamic is understandably milking its 100th birthday. Throughout the year the legendary headphone manufacturer has launched several new pairs, from the DT 770 Pro X Limited Edition wired headphones that appeared in January to the Aventho 300 Dolby Atmos wireless headphones that were released at IFA in September. Today’s announcement relates to the former, as Beyerdynamic is releasing a second generation of its DT 770 Pro and its DT 1990 Pro studio headphones.
The two new Pro MKII models introduce the German brand’s Tesla.45 driver, which has been newly developed and manufactured at its HQ in Heilbronn. The driver’s name is, you could say, rather fitting, considering Tesla has played a significant part in the company’s history: the original version of Beyer’s iconic T1 were supposedly the first to break through the one-tesla barrier of magnetic induction (hence, ‘T’ is for ‘tesla’ – something that has stuck over the decades.)
