    DT770 80ohm Alternatives

    Hey there,     I've owned the dt770 pro 80 for several years. I absolutely love their soundstage, isolation, and comfort. I'm on my third pair now (first one had a rattling driver, second one got stolen) and I think the wiring in there just went out on me - they're only playing in mono now...

    Need a DJ headphone recommendation

    Hi folks, With my latest cans out of commission, I'm in the market for a new pair of DJ phones. I previously owned a pair of V700DJs and the headbands cracked after about 5 months. The clamping force on them was also a bit annoying. So what I'm looking for in my new pair is this: -...

    Comfort upgrade from ath-m30... (DT-770)

    Quote: Originally Posted by MrOldboy thanks, yeah after looking around the net $140 seems like a great price. I'll look for the 80 ohm model, thats the black one right? I wouldn't buy them off ebay, and they are around the same price anyways once you add shipping. Yup...

    Darth V3 or V4?

    So, I'm potentially in the market for a pair of Darths... (loved the 770... not a perfect pair of cans but still fun). I've never actually tried Darths before for myself (hopefully will soon). Just curious as to everyone's thoughts on the v3 vs the (terminator) v4. Larry seems pretty darn...

    Been seeing the Sony MDR-V700DJ DJ in studo vids.

    Help me find a replacement for my DT770 Pro 80s

    I'd be curious to hear how the Denons compare to the DT770 in sound. I was very impressed with my DT770s before they went bad. Any D2000 or D5000 owners here who have heard the DT770 and can give a comparison? I'd miss the velour pads if I went for a pair. Beyer velour has spoiled me. :P

    Help me find a replacement for my DT770 Pro 80s

    Hi guys! I'm in the market for a new pair of cans, but first some background... I picked up a pair of DT770 80s earlier this year... fell in love with them right away - nice and comfortable, great clarity, and of course, the bass. Unfortunately only a few months later they developed a buzz...

    Help with my DT-770/80's

    So I took the plunge and purchased a pair of DT-770's (80 ohm model) last month and I love them to death... most comfortable and best sounding headphones I've ever owned, period. But something has come up in the past couple of weeks that concerns me... A buzz has developed in the mid-to-lower...

    From DT770 to Darth Beyer

    From DT770 to Darth Beyer

    I did order the DT770/80 Pro (it was a good eBay deal). I haven't even had the opportunity to try mine yet, they should be arriving any time, but based on the comments I've seen so far, I guess I'm not too reluctant about not opting for Darths. For one, this is my very first high quality...
