Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro has 11 published AutoEQ corrections, from 7 measurement rigs across 4 variants of the model, and this page carries every one of them. Below is the curve, the exact parametric filters behind it, and a one-click preset for EQBase. macOS has no system-wide equalizer of its own, so applying a correction to everything your Mac plays, rather than inside a single player, needs an app that sits on the system audio path.
Each measurement below carries four things: the correction curve, its parametric filters, the same filters as copy-paste text in AutoEQ's format (which Equalizer APO and Peace, REW and most desktop parametric equalizers import, and which EQBase's own Expert EQ reads and writes), and EQBase's ten-band fit of that correction. The ten-band figures are what the downloadable preset applies, so what you hear matches what is written here. AutoEQ publishes its own ten-band file on the same grid, fitted to the raw measurement rather than to these filters, so the two agree closely through the midrange and can differ at the extremes.

What this correction changes
The largest boost is +4.2 dB at presence (4 kHz), and the largest cut is −4.6 dB at top octave (16 kHz). Total swing across the ten bands is 8.7 dB. Averaged over its bands the bass is pulled back by 2.7 dB, more than the other two, which is where most of the audible change lands.
The 11 published measurements on this page, from 7 rigs, do not agree with each other, and the size of the disagreement is worth knowing before picking one. They differ most at top octave (16 kHz), where the ten-band figures span 9.1 dB, and least at midrange (500 Hz), where they span 1.1 dB. A spread that wide usually means the rigs disagree about the seal or the coupler rather than about the headphone, so prefer the measurement whose conditions match how you actually wear them.
Applying this on a Mac
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is worn around the ear, where the pads decide a good deal of what the measurement rig saw. Worn or replaced pads move the response, which is why several models here carry separate curves for exactly that. If yours are old, expect the correction to be a near miss rather than an exact one.
A correction also assumes the headphone is being driven properly. A high-impedance pair running straight out of a Mac at high volume can lose grip in the low end for reasons no equalizer fixes, so if the bass still sounds soft after applying this, the amplifier is the thing to change, not the curve.
In EQBase the fastest route skips this page entirely: open the Headphones pane, search for your model, and apply the correction. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is in the built-in catalog along with 8,665 other models. The preset above exists for people who want to see the numbers first, or who want a specific measurement rather than the default one.
Either way the correction applies to every app at once, and the free tier carries it with no time limit. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro preset above sets the ten-band curve, which is what the free tier applies, so nothing on this page is behind a purchase.
Common questions
Do these EQ settings work on any Mac app?
Yes, if the equalizer runs on system audio rather than inside one player. EQBase processes everything the Mac plays, so the same correction applies to Spotify, Safari, YouTube, games and calls. The Music app's own equalizer only affects Music.
Where do the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro numbers come from?
From 11 published AutoEQ measurements of the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, made by oratory1990, crinacle, Rtings, Innerfidelity, Kuulokenurkka, Auriculares Argentina and Headphone.com Legacy. Each one is a real frequency-response measurement compared against a target curve, and each produces its own set of filters. They are all on this page rather than averaged together, because a measurement belongs to the person who made it. The 4 variants (250 ohm, 600 ohm, 80 ohm, standard) are measured separately and corrected separately.
Why is the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro preamp negative?
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro correction needs −5.1 dB of headroom on its default measurement, so the preset pulls the signal down by that much before the boosts are applied. Boosting a signal that is already near full scale would clip it, and the negative preamp is what buys the room. Skip it and loud passages distort.
Can I use these filters in a different equalizer?
Yes. The filter table is a standard parametric list: type, frequency, gain and Q. Any parametric equalizer that accepts those four values per band will take them, on any platform. The one-click preset is only a shortcut for EQBase users.
