Today I was in between appointments, and stopped in to a pro-audio supply. Thought I’d kill some time by demo-ing whatever headphones that they had available. They had the Beyer dt770’s on display. I have never heard this model before. I was extremely impressed! I compared them to the others they had on hand, AKG, Sony , Fostex and some of the newer 500 series Sennheisers. The 770’s surpassed them all by a wide margin. As good as they sound, I’m surprised they aren’t more widely popular here with headfi-ers. At a $165.00 that this shop was selling them at they seem like a tremendous bargain! To me, and I own some Grado SR-225’s, they put anything Grado has to offer in this price range in the shade, in both sound quality, build & especially comfort. . . . . . .Can this be the “great undiscovered bargain” of the headphone world? . . . . . . . So my question to the members of “Team Beyer” is, how are the dt880’s & dt990’s compared to the 770’s? Are those models even better still? . . . . . . . . Thanks in advance to any thoughts that you might have on the subject.
