I currently have the beyer 770/80 and am looking for even more sub bass and that oh so deep rumble. I really wouldn't mind a bit of a spike from 80hz and below. Punchiness is nice but I really like that chesty...

Does anyone have freq response graphs of the k167? How do they compare to Vmoda M100s or AKG K550 graphs?

You will be happy with these, especially with an amp. Make sure they are 80 ohm for that deep sub bass.Quote:Originally Posted by Mshenay Yea you might be right :'[ *tear Drop* I've found some Dt 770 Pro 80's on eBay for around...

The 770/80s are quite different than the other beyers. The have a bit more heavy duty driver (more bass less air) which makes them a very nice low distortion can (most bassy beyer). The mids in this can are dark but I love it (looks less...

Just a heads up as an ex-XB1000 owner, the DT770/80s I found have MORE sub bass, better soundstage, less leakage and not 1/10th as muddy as the XB1000s (my god they are muddy). *Important* I'm pretty sensitive to higher frequencies...
