Only took till 2024 for someone to make a review (with sound impressions) XD I'm aware there was another review, but it was more "appreciation" than in depth sound reviews Many years on, and I still enjoy tweaking em :) 25ohm 480 with the white donut. / 200ohm 480 with yaxi. Pads used at...

Does the 770 pro X have that new thick front filter cover or the plain black foam disc of the past? Sometimes I think with slightly V shaped sharp headphones, they are meant to be played at lower volumes and not cranked too high. I do recall I doubled the black foam discs on the 990 pro 250. :D

Oh forgot to compliment your youtube reviews! Really had a good few laughs watching some of them. Couldn't help but wonder if you'll ever review that DX1000 :P , I bet you don't want to open that up again. Though IIRC you had some pics of them earlier in this thread. Also was cool you did the...

Would you take the S2 or the new HD650?

Really do wonder what other Anniversary models, if any, will be released. You would think they would make a Stellar 45 into the dt150 or something IIRC, the Dt150 was probably a more superior overall closed back to the dt770. And they used pretty much the safe driver just in different baffle...

This whole 660S story is becoming comical. I only say this because only the ones with the "Sennheiser eye" will be in the know. I feel for those who end up getting a "bargain" on those 660S with perforated logo and indented L & R logos thinking they will be in audio heaven, only to receive...

The 80'ohmer seemed to have more people liking them than hating them, and still continues to have fans. I'm still not sure which is the best beyer closed back of all time. Surely, someone has heard them all and can rank them :P Is this stellar 45 better than t5p gen II/III? This is what I am...

Would you say the mids are natural enough on these pro X LE? I cannot help but wonder if the interior of the cups have any dampening material. headband looks pretty cool on them though.

Is that the dynamic driver model or the Ribbon .. or is it electrostatic like the old models it's based on

WOW

What is the fit and finish like on this 100th Anniversary model? Are the tolerances tighter on the sliders so they are not a potential fail point like on the previous 770 models? Also, is the wire noticeable being single sided (in the context of weight of cable)

just a little headphone humour, no one freak out :)

Can't reopen the can of Wayne Knight worms in here XD

Does your 660S sound better with new pads, or as they get flatter? Also, have you compared with any of the 580/600/650 + CC ring?

Nice to see all the 580s. I use the modern chassis only for clamp, and new cable, but i still keep the 580 Heart. Vintage Sennheiser heart. This is gen II driver. It bothered me to change the looks since it was a flat plate. Though it is reversible. ...and i carried over the flat plate XD

Very interesting stuff. I find it funny that the driver motion especially with the higher frequencies require it to behave so erratically and all wavy, vs like Focal's metal drivers. I say funny, since Beyer was the first to make the aluminum driver. I would imagine the Focal Beryllium/ MG/...

I wonder how much of the differences in imaging have to do with the actual driver and how much has to do with the new screen material they use. AFAIK, the screen/baffle is same on the S/S2. Also the CC ring added to the older 600/650 (and 580) allow for the driver to have more control with...

The Tesla drivers look more like an evolved dt48 driver than their DT770/880/990 line It would be quite a feat if the Stellar 45 were anywhere near the Tesla driver in overall performance (sound preferences aside) The membrane still is attached to what looks like plastic/ composite body vs the...

Before it was 580 , 600, 650 Then 660S, S2 introduced. Then Custom Cans comes in with their copper/nickle mod Then you have all these new pads. So, I'm more curious where the dust will settle in a year or two or three. Will S2 keep top spot... or perhaps a HD650 with CC ring and a ZMF pad...

apologies for 3rd continuous post. :P My main confusion at the time was the venting, as well as the brass ring removal. Don't think I ever came across the reasoning from the manufacturer. Goodnight :)

...i went full tard 5 years ago on this matter Its strange to see past posts from years ago, and see how the venting structure of a headphone driver was making me a borderline nut :p ***sorry, it;s late and i made a mistake*** pls ignore the question/answer part... it was another manufacturer

When you mentioned that asymmetrical venting.... in 2019 i made a post about it ... and this was the pic Post#887 from the Headphone driver pics page ^^^^ that is from 2019 ^^^^ XD Funny enough I end up getting the 660S, but i was so confused about it at the time But, i would imagine...

The grill swaps may play a small role. Baffle swap might also play a small role. Clamp would play a small role. And I guess old pads vs new pads etc. But doing all of them defo results in a noticeable change. The 660S driver sounds like a 6 series, but it also has some ... i don't even know...
