Same crappy pads...

I am going to listen to them for a while, now that they don't cause pain, and may also bite the bullet on the Dekoni Elite pads if they are not as boomy.

Are you saying that the Ananda is much better? Ananda is open planar, this one is closed dynamic. You should compare the Ananda to the T1 or the DT1990, not to this.

Here are a couple of photos of the T5p Gen 2 with the Brainwavz Round XL Sheepskin pads. Comfort was increased at least 16 times with these, compared to the stock pads. Interestingly enough, the headband still hurts after 30-40 minutes of usage. Sound was a little muffled with the fabric of...

Hahah. Yeah, that's also an option, but you have to make sure the solder job is not visible, because it's not very "fashionable". :D

They did not approve a refund on those? That's a bummer... I guess you can sell them for what they are. DT770's. :)

Congratulations. Pads will still benefit you, though. :) What happened with the crappy pair?

I think he was commenting, because your reply implies cutting the stock pads, where he suggests cutting the aftermarket pads. :)

No. Not crazy about them. They are built great. Very premium, but the sound was just a bit....unexciting. They had detail and if the pads are switched, the may have more soundstage and bass, but out of the box they did not impress me. They were just....good. Maybe if they were 30-40% off - yes...

In my case - Yes. It was a huge issue and a huge inconvenience, considering that I paid an import tax that I can’t get back. If you are in the US, returns are much easier and I would give them a shot. :) Nothing to lose.

It’s the newest one under reviews. :) Here it is. https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-beyerdynamic-dt177x-go-headphones/reviews/2679551?utm_source=linkshare&referer=7RSHSJ

Go check out the reviews for the DT177x on Drop’s page. I have added one (latest one atm) describing my experience with them and comparing the headphones to the Neumanns and the Elegia. And also the T5p. Let me know here if you have additional questions after reading that and I’ll answer to the...

I am sorry to say but this is not the DT1770 Driver. This here is the driver that was in the DT177X and I am 99% sure that the same driver should be in the DT1770 Pro. Notice the blue rim and the 2 white slots. This is where the cable is connected. No soldering required. It's a plug-and-play...

The drivers on the DT770 and the DT1770 should be different. Open them up and post photos. I've disassembled the DT177X several times while I was trying to find an issue with a rattle, so I can spot the DT177X/1770 driver. Let me know if you needs steps on how to do it. Actually, I already...

I've not heard the DT1770 Pro, but have experience with the Drop variant. The DT177X. You can check some graphs to see the changes between the two. Looks like the difference is mainly in the top end. And here is the Sheepskin vs the velour. As you can see, the pads even out the low end...
