The impression I get from MLE's guide is that the DT990's have less space inside the cups, and frankly my ears barely fit inside the DT770s as it is. Can anyone suggest if this would be a problem for me?   Also question for MLE if I may? I know the 990s were a standard for you which you...

Hey guys.   So I've been using the DT770s with an E17 and Mixamp for a few weeks now. I really like the DT770s but I feel like I need to go back to open backs. I shout a lot when I can't hear myself, and I just prefer the freedom of openness. Can anyone recommend something in a similar...

Quote:   I actually see what you mean there. It's like you're taking away from something that you payed for. It's kinda like using dynamic contrast on a TV to make an image look 'nicer' but fake as opposed to calibrated.   Is this why you hesitate to recommend the DT770s, given that...

Quote: I gather you're a Bourne fan? Ultimatum is one of my fav films, and Greengrass one of my fav directors. I for one couldn't watch those films without some punchy bass :P   You haven't told us your budget? You could go up to AKG 701s but then you are needing an amp. I'm not sure...

Quote: I know the HD598s have a great sound stage and are a big hit with gamers and Dolby Headphone. That said I think you would need an amp to benefit the 598, where you could probably drive the AD700's off the mix amp alone. Both of these are lacking in bass if that bothers you.

Quote: No problem. What I'm aiming for (strapped for cash at the moment!) is my DT770 pros paired with an E17 EQ so I can use it for competitive and fun gaming as well as music. I am aware that the AD-700's are pretty much the dogs for competitive and you'll not need much power behind them...

Quote:   That's some awesome info right there thanks! I think I'm going to have to save up for the E17 though :(   Quote:   I will mention that even the 80 ohms DT770's sound very under powered from any non-amplified source. They 'work' on my iPhone but they suck, quite frankly...

Quote: Oh you definitely need some decent amping for the DT770s and according to MLE the mixamp isn't enough.     It's a little pricey. Does it do more than the E7 realistically?       It's for both console and PC :) I can output 7.1 from my on board sound card but...

Quote: Why didn't you post in MLE's thread then? :P Worth asking if you're looking at Dolby Headphone or just stereo.

Quote: Why is there some kind of assumption that D3 is an MMO? Because it's made by Blizzard? It's not. You pay a one off fee, no sub. 200 hours is better than most full price games.   I got bored of it pretty quickly after RMAH got introduced, but by then I had done Normal twice and...

Can anyone recommend me an amp for the DT770 Pro 80ohm + Mixamp combo? I was thinking E9 (so I don't have to get a new sound card!) or E11, both in my price range, but I'd really like one with an EQ to reduce bass rather than boost it! What are people using for their Mixamp combos?

Quote: Is this for 100% PC gaming? If so could you not just get a powered sound card and skip the desktop amp?

Quote: No problem. I have the 80ohms and they do sound really nice in games when powered, and if you don't have big ears you shouldn't have a comfort issue. If you're going purely for a desktop amp why not go for the 600ohm or will it not power that?   So you run TOSlink into the mixamp...

Quote:   My left ear does touch the driver padding on the DT770 Pro but my right doesn't. It can become uncomfortable for me after a while, but I'm gonna stick with it cuz other than that they're really nice and I can't afford to go up to AKGs really. From what I gather there's more space...

Quote: Sorry, I did specify but that was a few pages back. I'm looking for a Dolby Headphone solution for both PC and console. I have read the guide which mentions that the DSS is discontinued and the DSS2 doesn't support Dolby Headphone. I would also like the ability to mix voice in since...
