Hello,

I recently purchased the Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 32 Ohm.
I opted for the lowest impedance, but I'm noticing a lack of volume when I do my mixing (in music production).
I would like to increase the sound (without distortion) and without using an amplifier if possible.
My sound card: Realtek High Definition Audio.

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,

    Remove the limiter and the sound effects in your sound card settings.

    Clean your ears and don't keep the volume at max for more than 30 minutes.

    There’s no miracle solution to increase the volume.

    Besides, mixing is always more accurate when you don't listen at full volume (Try it, you'll see).

    It would be best to test the headphones before buying them.

    Be careful if you use an amplifier; some headphones don’t handle overdriving well.

      I have nothing to complain about my headphones, the sound quality is very good and on most of the forums I visited, it was recommended to me to start in music production for less than 200 euros.
      This is one of my first monitoring headphones.
      Otherwise, no limiter on my interface.
      And when I mixed with my old headphones, I would turn the volume almost all the way up (after that, they weren't suitable headphones).

      Thank you for your response.
