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 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.

This Sony Headphones Now Costs $38 on Amazon, That's 20x Less Than AirPods Max
It's also priced at just one-eighth the cost of Sony's most premium headphones. Top headphones from Sony, Bose, and Apple are famous for great sound but they usually cost at least $300 and can be much more. For most people, that's a lot of money to spend, especially when there are other things to pay for. But right now, the Sony WH-CH520 headphones are a rare deal: They offer great features and are on sale for a very low price on Amazon. At just $38, the Sony WH-CH520 is now almost 40% off its original $59 list price. This is a great (and very rare) deal for a reputable brand like Sony and it positions these headphones as one of the best price-to-performance options available. For under the cost of a night out, you get a wireless headset that holds its own against several-times-its-price models. See at Amazon Good and Cheap Headphones In the way of technical specs, the Sony WH-CH520 delivers in a variety of areas: Battery life is a genuine highlight with a whopping 50 hours of playback on a single charge. That's plenty for multi-day road trips or long festival weekends, and the fast charging feature means you won't be sans tunes for long if you do manage to run out. The headphones come packaged with a USB Type-C cable which is both convenient and future-proof, plugging into most newer devices. Then there is the concern of sound quality: The WH-CH520 provides clear balanced sound and can be personalized to your liking using the Sony Headphones Connect App. Using the app, one can adjust the EQ settings to fit your genres of music that you enjoy listening to. If one loves listening to compressed music files or streaming their music, the DSEE feature upscales this to add detail and richness that would otherwise be lost. What's more, the Sony WH-CH520 has lightweight construction and soft cushioned ear pads that rest gently on your ears. The swiveling earcups make it easy to put on and take off the headphones, and the adjustable headband ensures a firm, customized fit. At home working, on the road, or just relaxing, these headphones are all-day comfortable. Another cool feature is the integrated microphone which makes crystal-clear hands-free calls possible: The calls can be answered without you ever reaching to get your phone, and these headphones make excellent work and play partners. Multipoint connection is enabled which makes it possible to switch easily and not have to re-pair between two devices, say your laptop and your phone. For just $38, you get a stylish, and reliable audio companion – make sure you don't miss this deal. See at Amazon

‘I'm the world's youngest self-made female billionaire'
A 30-year-old US tech entrepreneur born to immigrant parents has unseated Taylor Swift as the world's youngest self-made female billionaire. Lucy Guo, who is worth an estimated $1.3bn (£1bn) according to Forbes, told The Telegraph that her new title 'doesn't really feel like much'. 'I think that maybe reality hasn't hit yet, right? Because most of my money is still on paper,' she said. Ms Guo's wealth stems from her 5pc stake in Scale AI, a company she co-founded in 2016. The artificial intelligence (AI) business is currently raising money in a deal likely to value it at $25bn. That valuation – and the billionaire status it has bestowed upon Ms Guo – underlines the current AI boom, which has reinvigorated Silicon Valley and is now reshaping the world. Everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to Sir Keir Starmer have praised the potential of the technology, which is forecast to save billions but may also destroy scores of jobs. The AI craze has caused the founders and chief executives of companies in the space to climb the world's rich list as they cash in on soaring valuations and increasing demand for their companies' technologies. Ms Guo is also an exemplar of the American dream. Born to Chinese immigrant parents, she dropped out of Carnegie Mellon University to find her fortune. Like Mr Zuckerberg before her, the decision to ditch traditional education in favour of entrepreneurship has now paid off handsomely. Still, it was not a decision her parents approved of at the time. 'They stopped talking to me for a while – which is fine,' she said. 'I get it, because, you know, the immigrant mentality was like, 'we sacrificed everything, we came to a new country, left all our relatives behind, to try to give our kids a better future'. 'I think they viewed it as a sign of disrespect. They're like, 'wow, you don't appreciate all the sacrifices we did for you, and you don't love us'. So they were extremely hurt.' They have since reconciled. In her first year of college, Ms Guo took part in hackathons and coding competitions, helping her to realise that 'you can just create a startup out of like, nothing'. She was awarded a Thiel Fellowship, which provides recipients with $200,000 over two years to support them to drop out of university and pursue other work, such as launching a startup. The fellowship is funded by Peter Thiel, the former PayPal chief executive. Mr Thiel, who donated $1.25m to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, has been an enthusiastic supporter of entrepreneurship, and also co-founded Palantir, the data analytics and AI software firm now worth billions. Ms Guo initially tried to found a company based around people selling their home cooking to others. While the business did well financially, it faced food safety problems and ultimately failed. After stints at Quora, the question-and-answer website, and Snapchat, Ms Guo launched Scale AI with co-founder Alexandr Wang in 2016. The company labels the data used to develop applications for AI. The timing was perfect: OpenAI had been founded a year earlier and uses Scale AI's technology to help train ChatGPT, the generative AI chatbot. OpenAI is one of the leading lights of the new AI boom and has a valuation of $300bn. Like Ms Guo, its founder and boss Sam Altman is now a billionaire. Ms Guo left Scale AI only two years after helping to found it – 'ultimately there was a lot of friction between me and my co-founder' – but retained her stake, a decision that helped propel her into the ranks of the world's top 1pc. 'It's not like I'm flying PJs [private jets] everywhere. Just occasionally, just when other people pay for them. I'm kidding – sometimes I pay for them,' Ms Guo said, laughing. After leaving Scale AI, Ms Guo went on to set up her own venture capital fund, Backend Capital, which has so far invested in more than 100 startups. She has also run HF0, an AI business accelerator. Ms Guo is particularly passionate about supporting female entrepreneurs: 'If you take two people that are exactly the same, male and female, they come out of MIT as engineers, I think that subconsciously every investor thinks the male is going to do better, which sucks.' However, she is demanding of companies she backs. 'If you care about work-life balance, go work at Google, you'll get paid a high salary and you'll have that work-life balance,' she said. 'If you're someone that wants to build a startup, I think it's pretty unrealistic to build a venture-funded startup with work-life balance.' Ms Guo's work-life balance has itself been the subject of tabloid attention. After leaving Scale AI she was dubbed 'Miami's number one party girl' by the New York Post for raucous celebrations held at her multimillion-dollar flat in the city's One Thousand Museum tower, which counts David Beckham among its residents. One 2022 party involved a lemur and snake rented from the Zoological Wildlife Foundation, and led to the building's homeowners' association sending a warning letter. While she still owns her residence in Miami, Ms Guo lives in Los Angeles. Alongside investing, Ms Guo has started a new business, Passes, which lets users sell access to themselves online through paid direct messages, livestreaming and subscriptions. Creators on the platform include TikTok influencer Emma Norton, actor Bella Thorne and the music producer Kygo. It is pitched as a competitor to Patreon, a platform that lets musicians and artists sell products and services directly to fans. However, the business also occupies the same space as OnlyFans, the platform known for hosting adult videos and images, and Passes has faced claims that it knowingly distributed sexually explicit material featuring minors. A legal complaint filed by OnlyFans model Alice Rosenblum claimed the platform produced, possessed and sold sexually explicit content featuring her when she was underage. The claims are strongly denied by the company. A spokesman for Passes said: 'This lawsuit is part of an orchestrated attempt to defame Passes and Ms Guo, and these claims have no basis in reality. As explained in the motion to dismiss filed on April 28, Ms Guo and Passes categorically reject the baseless allegations made against them in the lawsuit.' Scrutiny of Passes and Ms Guo herself is only likely to intensify following her crowning by Forbes. However, she is sceptical that she will hold on to the title of youngest self-made female billionaire for long. 'I have almost no doubt this title can be taken in three to six months,' she said, adding: 'Every single time it was taken, it's like, OK, there's more innovation happening – women are crushing it. 'I think I'm personally excited for someone else to take that title, because that's a sign entrepreneurship is growing.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Winners of Defense Stock Frenzy in Europe, From Chemical to Goggle Makers
(Bloomberg) -- This year's surge in Europe's biggest defense stocks has elicited some obvious winners, leading investors to dig deeper beneath the surface for other names that might stand to benefit from the billions being diverted toward military budgets. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars From goggle makers to chemicals producers, and even a printing company, stocks with the merest link to defense have been snapped up, sending share prices soaring. While heavyweight Rheinmetall AG has tripled this year, the German tank and munitions maker's advance has been outshone by a fourfold jump in Exail Technologies SA, a supplier of maritime drone systems. Steyr Motors AG, a small producer of engines for tanks and boats, has seen a similar level of gains. 'There's been a real shift in investor appetite for UK and European small-cap defense companies,' said Jamie Murray, an analyst at Shore Capital Stockbrokers Ltd. 'There's a lot of momentum behind these stocks, with investors more willing to look past short-term challenges to medium-term opportunities.' Here's a look at some of the defense-related stocks that have caught the eye of investors: Night Vision Core defense stocks got an immediate boost when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but a handful of night vision specialists have come into focus more recently. Theon International Plc, which sells thermal-image and night vision goggles, listed in Amsterdam in February last year. The shares trade at more than three times their IPO price of €10 and at around 27 times blended forward earnings, its valuation is the most expensive of the night-vision cohort. Exosens SAS listed in June 2024 in Paris. It provides photo-detection and low light condition imaging solutions and serves customers worldwide. The shares are up 124% since their debut. Analysts are positive on the outlook for both Exosens and Theon, with most who cover the stocks rating them as a buy. Still, some investors are starting to book gains after this year's spectacular advance. More than €230 million ($262 million) of shares in Exosens and Theon were sold this week in separate block trades. Smaller peer NSE, also Paris-listed, is a producer of aircraft wiring, accessories and night vision systems. It's up around 45% in 2025, adding to two straight years of double-digit gains. Robotics Exail Technologies is another star of Europe's defense rally, its shares surging over 300% in 2025 and its market capitalization jumping to €1.26 billion from about €340 million in just a few months. The ascent started in early February with the announcement that the company had signed a contract worth hundreds of millions of euros for underwater drone systems for mine warfare. Exail has a full house of buy recommendations from the five analysts tracked by Bloomberg who cover the stock. Chemicals Alzchem AG, based in Trostberg, Germany, produces a raw material used in propellants for NATO-standard 155mm artillery ammunition. It has exposure to the defense push through its customers and European Commission funding. It also signed a contract with the US Department of Defense in 2024. Five out of six analysts tracked by Bloomberg who cover Alzchem have buy ratings on the stock. Industrials Industrial companies are enjoying varying degrees of success in aligning themselves with the lucrative defense theme. Obvious defense plays such as Rheinmetall, Leonardo SpA, Saab AB, Thales SA and BAE Systems Plc have become increasingly expensive, trading on average at around 34 times forward earnings, compared to less than 15 for the Stoxx 600 Index. No surprise then that investors have looked for cheaper alternatives. Thyssenkrupp AG, which trades at around 11 times forward earnings, has emerged as a major 2025 winner. The shares have more than doubled this year as the planned spinoff of its submarine-building unit drew fresh attention to the steel company's defense credentials. Deutz AG, an engine manufacturer, was initially reported to be among bidders for Thyssenkrupp's marine systems unit. There have been no concrete developments on that front, but the Cologne-based company's chief executive officer has said the firm is interested in defense. Its shares have soared 92% this year. On a similar theme, printing company Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG is another German firm said to be exploring a shift toward defense. Its industry unit designs, constructs and equips factory production lines — capabilities that could have military applications. The stock is up around 56% this year. Other companies are finding ways to benefit from booming military budgets. In Italy, a bidding war for truckmaker Iveco Group NV's defense unit has sent the firm's shares to a record high. The company develops and manufactures specialized vehicles for defense and civil protection and has expanded into artificial intelligence and software technologies. It's said to be seeking up to €1.5 billion for its military unit. Mutares SE unlocked a spectacular return when the private equity firm listed Steyr Motors on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in October. Steyr, formerly a struggling Austrian engine maker, is closing in on a 300% gain this year. Avio SpA, an Italian aerospace company, is exposed to two hot trends: defense and space propulsion. Its shares have surged over 50% this year. Avio says it is a key service partner to Italy's air force, manufacturing, designing and servicing the EJ200 engines for the Eurofighter Typhoon, among others. IT, Cybersecurity, Intelligence, Satellites Eutelsat SA has rallied this year, at one point soaring 300%, as investors saw it as likely to play a role in a new European military intelligence satellite network. The firm has put itself forward as an alternative to Starlink in Ukraine. Still, the shares have erased a large portion of their gains since the initial enthusiasm, weighed down partly by concerns around the company's debt. OHB SE, another satellite company, has also surged, and is regarded as a potential beneficiary of German investment after the Bremen-based manufacturer won a €2.1 billion order last year. Cohort Plc, a UK defense company based in Reading, has seven businesses specializing in areas such as satellite communications, surveillance, sonar systems, fire control and electronic warfare. Its shares rose 96% in 2024 and are up another 43% this year. Indra Sistemas SA, a Spanish IT firm which makes radar air defense systems, has more than doubled this year. Its chairman said in May that the firm also plans to build tanks. 'Accessories like telecommunications, radars, encryption — all of this is a big part of the value of the vehicle — and we were missing the other part,' Indra's Angel Escribano said last month. Shares in Mildef Group AB, a Swedish developer of military-grade laptops, tablets and tracking solutions, are up almost 80% this year, paring some of their advance on June 3 after CEO Daniel Ljunggren sold a third of his stake in the company. Headsets, Breathing Gear Invisio AB, another Swedish company, is the self-proclaimed global market leader in tactical communication and hearing protection systems. Its website features images of khaki headsets, intercom systems and cables. Its shares have climbed almost 30% since the year began. German medical equipment company Draegerwerk AG, whose breathing gear turned it into a Covid pandemic beneficiary, is up more than 50% so far in 2025. The company 'is positioning itself in the defense sector by leveraging its expertise in air filtration, sensor technology, and personal protective equipment,' Warburg analysts wrote in April. The two are part of the growing ranks of listed companies producing military gear, vehicles and weapons, and whose shares are surging as investors position for sustained defense spending by governments. 'The nature of warfare is changing,' said Graeme Bencke, a fund manager at Amati Global Investors Ltd. 'Things like space and cyber are increasingly important, as well as battlefield communication and autonomous vehicles.' --With assistance from Lisa Pham, Julien Ponthus and Julius Domoney.
