I made a video review of the dt770 80ohm quite sometime ago and was finally finished it. I got them on sale at Guitar Center for $179.99 , the deal was better than anywhere on the web so I jumped on it. When I auditioned them in-store, I was quite impressed. I'm not much of an over the ear headphone person, but these were comfortable and sounded amazing.
For most of my listening life I've used only in-ear headphones because I live a very active and mobile lifestyle.
As I began to use them more and more I noticed that they weren't providing me the "umph" I was looking for in certain kinds of music. I also ran into so me issues with sibilance that was bothering my ears for female vocals. Not that it sounded bad, but quite the contrary, they sounded great! But it seems that my ears are sensitive to that. I used EQ'd it towards base and fixed many of my issues, in fact it sounded better for my tastes.
I've read great reviews about how noise cancellation and noise isolation was great. They were, but not for noisy environments like a gym.
I've read so many great reviews about how it was like having 2 pillows on your head - amazing comfort and amazing sound. I need more volume so i purchase the creative e1 portable headphone amp.
And I'll tell you that it made such a huge difference. Based on my experience, if you get these headphones, you need to purchase the this headphone amp.
It turns out my head and ears are either too big or too sensitive (probably both). So it would hurt my temples. I've asked the forums here and they suggested stretching it out, and it did help a bit, but not enough to justify keeping them.
Although my written review here seems a bit negative, my video review expresses my enthusiasm for them - however my issue is that, for my lifestyle, they weren't a proper fit.
