The 770 velours aren't actually all that comfy. Definitely a far cry from the 880/990 velours. I'd take the Alpha pads over the 770 velours, actually. Or better yet, dem 1540 pads.

On the closed HP100? definitely...
 
On the open HP200? nah... it'll kill the soundstage and mids. Maybe the Shure velours?
 
I don't get why they didn't just make velours for the open HP200...

It's open, has a 3.5mm jack for the VModa boompro... hmmmm

Nearly done with the Alpha Dog review. If it sounds like I'm gushing, it's because I am, lol. Though it's 100% how I feel about them. Should be up PROBABLY tomorrow.

So I have the following: Titanium HD Sound card and q701 headphones. I'm about to order the Schiit Vali after doing some research. It's seems like it's the only amp in my price range that can slightly warm up the sound from a very analytical headphone. Does anyone see a problem with that or have any other suggestions? I will be placing the order sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up, going to buy my own copy now.  I always wanted to try this series out, just not at full price.  
 
You guys are killing me with all this talk about amps for the Q/K70x.  I was all set to get the Vali soon for my K702.65, but now you have me looking at the Matrix M-Stage and Asgard 2.  Good thing nobody has either amp on sale and amazon.com won't ship the M-Stage to Canada.

Output,
The price of the Sony has (surprisingly) been changing wildly... Just look at their price history on camelcamelcamel.com !

I think they're a good headphone at $200 and a great headphone if you find it for less, but I wouldn't pay more than $200. If I wasn't preparing to get a 27" iMac, I'd have a hard time not picking up an MA900, just to have, at $160 or less.

im having a really hard time deciding on headphones. This will be my first purchase of actual good headphones so I am a novice.  I could spend hours and hours researching something before I purchase it, trying to make the best possible choice. My funds in general are limited so I want to make the most out of my money. Idk even after reading this guide I feel like I'm lost and there are too many choices. Ocd can be annoying. At most I probably wouldn't want to spend more than $150. Just seeing if anyone has any input I guess.
