Ok guys, I need help quite quickly (until tomorrow lol).
I planned on buying the DT770 (250) headphones, but as I walked into my local store and asked the salesman to order them for me , he offered me the DT990 32 ohm version that he had on the shelf. He said that 990 are better headphones than 770 and that he can give me a 20% discount on them, which would make them cost only slightly more than DT770's.
So...my concern is that the DT990 has 32 ohms impedance, which makes it "the worst" of the DT990 if i understand correctly after reading loads of reviews.
However, what no reviewers say or explain in detail is HOW MUCH (and please be honest) worse are the DT990 32 ohm version compared to their 250 ohm and 600 ohm version? Lets say when used with a cheap low/mid tier amplifier like Fiio E9.
I am aware that they all sound somewhat crappy with portable sources, even though 32 ohm version get loud on ipod unlike 250 and 600 versions.
Do 32 ohms sound MUCH worse and sound like different / less expensive / worse headphones compared to 250 or 600 ohm version from an amp, or is it really a tiny difference that most people would not notice and its not like your missing out on something noticeable? Is the difference drastic, or is like changing the some EQ settings by 1 or 2 db's?
Also, how would the DT770 (250 ohm) compare to the DT990 (32 ohm)? So far after reading loads of reviews my conclusion is that they are pretty similar in sound signature but DT990 have a big more bass and treble...but again, nobody describes the differences in detail.
Do the 32 ohm version give you like 98% of the quality that you get from 250 and 600 version, is it more like 60% of quality?
Which ones would you pick if you wanted FUN headphones , that dont necessarily need to be neutral. I have opened Sennheiser cans to listen to classical, vocal, jazz, but now I need something for hip-hop, techno, rock, metal, pop...something more aggressive, punchy and fun.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
