Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 Discussion Thread
Actually, I typically connect directly to my iPhone 6 or Fiio X3 (gen 2). I'm fine with no amp--it's plenty loud, and I can use the eq on the Fiio to bring out more bass (which is what I did until things suddenly seemed settled--now, even my iPhone is fine).- bardolator

Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 Discussion Thread
After having burned these in (and having stretched them a bit), I'm amazed at how the bass suddenly just --appeared! I was really disappointed and a bit worried by how tight they were, and I totally got the uncomfortably present treble and recessed bass, but now--WOW. They're awesome! One of...- bardolator

The Anker braided cable is fabric-covered where the stock cable is plasticky. I got it in red (I have the brown/red MSR7s).- bardolator

Seeking advice re: Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 ohm vs 250 ohm
Okay, just had an odd experience with the MSR7s. I'm one of those who is having difficulty with the clamping force of the MSR7 (I've tried stretching them over a box, using cotton in the pads, bending the headband as per Tyll's video). I just accidentally put them on backwards, and they feel...- bardolator

Seeking advice re: Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 ohm vs 250 ohm
Thanks. The brightness does worry me a bit, if only because my ears run a bit sensitive, but I figure I can fiddle with my X3 a bit. I've read that Brainwavz pads might actually make this issue worse, so I guess that's a no-go, even for the pleathers....- bardolator

Seeking advice re: Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 ohm vs 250 ohm
tl;dr: I bought MSR7s. Yep, I realized I didn't give budget; my apologies. I was really thinking Beyer 80 vs Beyer 250 when I initially asked, thinking I'd done enough homework that I was going to make this relatively simple. I really should have come here first; I'd been looking for awhile...- bardolator

Seeking advice re: Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 ohm vs 250 ohm
Hi, all! Cutting to the chase: I'm in the market for a full-size set of cans, closed-back, to be used at home and at work. I've settled on the Beyer DT770 and would like help selecting the appropriate "flavor." Now, for more info, I currently own: -Sennheiser Momentum on-ears and V-Moda M-80s...- bardolator

Good news--I heard back from V-MODA, and they will honor the warranty. I just have to hang onto my receipt. :) I took the headphones over to my parents' house tonight and had them listen. They were both amazed. :D- bardolator

I'd read somewhere that those include only one cable--any idea whether the branding is the only difference? I don't care about the case, but I do wish the branding weren't on the headphones themselves--I've never seen the show! LOL- bardolator
