Beyerdynamic Adds DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition To Its Core Product Line
German headphone and microphone brand beyerdynamic has announced that its DT 770 PRO X , which was originally released in 2024 as a limited-edition to celebrate the company's 100-year celebration, has become a permanent fixture in the audio company's product lineup.
Since its debut in 1985, the DT 770 PRO has proved to be one of the most popular studio headphones for professional recording and monitoring, surpassing even Sennheiser for its popularity within the BBC.
Famed for its detailed and balanced sound, as well as durable construction and wearing comfort, the DT 770 PRO soon became a staple in studios around the world. Now, nearly four decades on from the launch, these headphones have become a trusted tool of music producers, sound engineers, podcasters, and musicians thanks to their reliability and construction quality.
From Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney to Lana Del Rey and the Kelce brothers, the DT 770 PRO has been there as production methods evolved from analog tape to digital audio workstations. Whether in major label studios or home recording setups, there's always a demand for accurate reproduction of the sound captured.

The DT 770 PRO has seen all the changes and managed to remain a firm favorite thanks to consistent audio reference and not shifting with trends or fads. As workflows and tools modernized, new demands emerged calling for flexibility and broader device compatibility. Honoring The Past
In 2024, beyerdynamic decided to mark its centennial by releasing the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition which kept all the best features of the original DT770 PRO while introducing a few modern refinements to meet more modern production techniques. The headphones now feature beyerdynamic's STELLAR.45 driver system for high-resolution sound and have a detachable Mini-XLR cable that lets users adapt to any working environment.

'We were blown away by the reception to the DT 770 PRO X Limited Edition,' says Andreas Rapp, CEO of beyerdynamic. 'It was clear from the start that this headphone had staying power. By officially adding it to our product lineup, we're meeting the needs of a new generation of studio professionals who demand both pristine quality and modern functionality.'
Additional updates to the original also include ultra-soft velour ear cushions and an ergonomically padded headband designed to reduce pressure on the top of the wearer's head which should please all those producers and engineers who spend long hours mixing. With a 48Ω impedance, the DT 770 PRO X headphones also offer greater flexibility, making them compatible with professional studio interfaces and portable devices without sacrificing sound quality. Pricing and Availability:
The beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X studio headphones are available now and priced at $199.99 from the beyerdynamic e-shop and select retailers, including Guitar Center and Sweetwater. Each pair includes a 3m Mini-XLR to 3.5mm jack cable, 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter and a premium drawstring carry bag.

Teenage Engineering did it again
Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 94, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you're new here, welcome, did you hydrate today, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I'm visiting LinkedIn way too much because of Mini Sudoku, looking at the fake texts in Apple's marketing materials, marveling at tiny doodles on microchips, listening to Taylor Swift's New Heights podcast episode, learning about model railroad power debates, reading about the death of expertise, catching up on my favorite HGTV home renovation show, and watching a very good drumline. I also have for you some durable cables, a great new Alien show, a strange RPG, and more. (As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What do you want to know more about? What awesome tricks do you know that everyone else should? What app should everyone be using? Tell me everything: [email protected]. And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, forward it to them and tell them to subscribe here.) This week I'm featuring Soren Iverson, who you may recognize as the person who posts unhinged design concepts on social media like an iOS app icon filling up based on how many notifications the app has. Whenever these cross my feed, I nearly always cackle. I expected him to bring some of that chaos on his actual homescreen, but I was surprised to learn that his homescreen is even more minimal than mine — which inspired me to make mine a little less busy, too. The phone: iPhone 15 Pro The wallpaper: A black screen. I try to make time on my phone intentional, I call, text, or take notes most frequently. Everything else I bury as a more intentional action I have to take so that I'm generally more focused. The apps: Phone, Messages, Notes I also asked Soren to share a few things he's into right now. Here's what he said: Here's what the Installer community is into this week. I want to know what you're into right now as well!

Campfire Audio Begins Shipping The New Relay DAC/Headphone Amplifier
Last month, Campfire Audio announced a new portable DAC and headphone amplifier for those of us who just love listening to music through a pair of headphones or wired earbuds. The boutique audio brand from Portland, Oregon, is the latest way to have hi-fi quality music on the move. The Campfire Audio Relay has some flexible features, is easy to use with smartphones, laptops or desktops and has enough power to drive even a high-impedance pair of headphones. The new Relay DAC and headphones amplifier is about the size of a cigarette lighter and is powered by AKM's 4493 SEQ DAC chip. The housing is made from lightweight aluminum with a precision-machined exterior. The AKM 4493 DAC was chosen by Campfire Audio following auditions of some of the best-performing DACs on the market. The 4493 won the gig because of its technical specifications as well as its beguiling sound, which can draw out plenty of nuance in the music without fatiguing the listener's ears. The DAC provides just the right amount of color to the music and projects an analog feel. Despite its low-profile appearance, the Relay has a range of features for getting the most out of the music, however the user chooses to listen. A USB-C port connects the Relay to its host device, whether that's a smartphone or a laptop. There is compatibility with Windows and macOS computers. However, anyone still using Windows 7 or 8 will need to install a proprietary driver. The Relay also works with iOS and Android devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android devices must support OTG or UAC. The Campfire Audio Relay will work with a wide range of devices and offers both a 3.5mm single-ended jack and a Pentaconn 4.4mm balanced output. Users can choose to use the output that best matches their earphones or headphones. If you have a 4.4mm connection for your headphones, that's the one to choose if possible, as it will provide a slightly boosted and more nuanced sound. The Relay's sonic performance can be tweaked thanks to customizable parameters, which include selectable high/low gain, six digital filter modes and support for variable bit rates that go as high as 32-bit / 768kHz. There's support for both PCM and DSD playback and the Relay's volume control has 60 separate steps. To control the media playback, there is a single button that can be used to play/pause music as well as skip and repeat tracks. Rounding off the Relay's features is a range of accessories, including a 6cm USB-C-to-USB-C cable, a microfiber cleaning cloth and a black cushioned Ripstop bag. Campfire Audio's Relay DAC and Headphone Amplifier is shipping now and available from Amazon, Campfire Audio,as well as a range of specialist audio retailers. The suggested retail price is $229 / £229.

Rillet Raises $70M From Andreessen Horowitz To Replace 'Dumb Databases' With AI Accounting That Closes Books In Hours
When Nicolas Kopp led German digital bank N26's U.S. operations, he learned that world-class finance teams were often slowed by outdated systems, forcing them to wait weeks for critical metrics despite working at high speed. That frustration planted the seed for Rillet, an AI-native enterprise resource planning platform built by accountants to modernize how companies handle their books. Now, Rillet said it secured $70 million in Series B funding co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and ICONIQ, bringing total funding to over $100 million in less than a year. Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Bill Gates Warned About Water Scarcity. Funding Round Unites Venture Capital Heavyweights and Expands Board Leadership The $70 million raise includes participation from Sequoia, Oak HC/FT, and earlier investors, arriving just 10 weeks after Rillet's $25 million Series A. The company said the funding will accelerate Rillet's push to rebuild enterprise accounting from the ground up, giving finance leaders the ability to scale multi-billion-dollar companies with smaller, more efficient teams. As part of the round, Andreessen Horowitz General Partner Alex Rampell and ICONIQ General Partner Seth Pierrepont are joining Rillet's board of directors. "Finance teams deserve the same AI advantages that have revolutionized sales, engineering, and legal," Rampell said in the company's statement, while Pierrepont noted that the company's AI-native approach "can give companies a clear edge: faster insights, leaner teams, and smarter decisions." Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can Cutting Close Times From Weeks to Days With AI-Native Architecture Founded by Kopp and Stelios Modes, the technical architect who built N26's payment infrastructure, Rillet was designed to eliminate the inefficiencies of legacy systems owned by large incumbents such as Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), Sage, and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). The company's leadership team includes former executives and accountants from EY, PwC, and other major firms, embedding industry expertise into every workflow. Rillet has signed more than 200 customers since launch, doubling its annual recurring revenue over the last 12 weeks and forming partnerships with top accounting firms like Armanino and Wiss. Clients such as Postscript, which generates over $100 million in annual recurring revenue, close their books in just three days using Rillet, while Windsurf manages its entire finance operation with a team of two people. The platform integrates directly with tools including Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), Stripe, and Brex, pulling structured data into its AI-powered general ledger. Legacy enterprise resource planning systems, described by Rillet as "dumb databases," often store transactions but leave teams dependent on spreadsheets and add-on approach eliminates that gap, enabling finance teams to collaborate in real time, automate workflows natively, and generate instant insights without relying on bolt-ons. Implementation can be completed in as little as four weeks, compared with up to 12 months for many legacy systems. Rillet Targets $500B Market Amid CPA Talent Shortage and 80% Automation Potential The American Institute of Certified Public Accountant has reported that 75% of today's public accounting CPAs are expected to retire within the next 15 years. In the meantime, Accenture estimates that about 80% of routine financial operations could be automated through technologies such as touchless continuous accounting and human-machine collaboration. Rillet aims to address both challenges by enabling finance teams to operate with fewer people while focusing on higher-value strategic analysis rather than manual processes. Looking ahead, Rillet says it plans to expand its AI capabilities, deepen integrations across the financial technology stack, and build toward a collaborative environment where AI agents and human experts manage financial performance together. Several customers are expected to go public within the next six to 12 months using Rillet's platform.
