Hello, I was going to get the ATH-M50x but after viewing some reviews I found a video which compare the 2 and to my taste the DT 770 PRO sounded better for me according to the review so it made my choice gets confused. What do you guys think?
I will use them with Creative Sound Blaser ZxR with 600 ohm headphone ampflier if it matters.
The video review:

Going to order the DT 770 PRO 250Ohm after 8 hours from now, please if there is better alternative, let me know.

I prefer the sound quality of my Audio Technica ATH-A900Xs, over the DT770s.
But if you can get a good price for the DT770s, you should be happy with them.

DT770 are head and shoulders above ATH-M50s. Go for it. Make sure and get a little amp if you're getting the 250 ohm ones.

After ordering my M50x I wish I would've given then DT770 a spin.

For electronic, M50. Otherwise, DT770. We're talking about the 80 ohm version, right?

Another vote for the 770's.

For me the M50x sounded a little too bright.  I'd prefer the DT770 if the sound is accurate.  Not enough bass with the M50x.

Old thread but similar information needed.
 
Are DT770 Pros better than M40X in terms of clarity, resolution and details? How is the 250 Ohm compared to 80 Ohm?

Hi guys...
 
I am back.... A couple of months ago i ended up not buying any of these 2 headphones.... instead i had a lot of other ones and ended up realising that my favourite 2 were the hd25 and the over ear momentum.... right now i still have the hd25 and a pair of amperiors but unfortunatelly i had to let my momentums go due to the unconfortable and super small pads.... ;(
 
So here i am again.... same tastes, rock, pop, indie and edm (a lot of prog and trance mostly....).... i reaaaaaaaally need a over ear now and i am again debating between the 80oh dt770 and the newer ath m50x.....
 
I already had a coiled (white box) ath m50 a couple of months ago... i liked the sound but i ended up selling them because i thought they were too scooped in the mids and that the treble sounded a bit plasticky.... at the time i also got my hd25s and liked them more (despite not being very confortable and the super compressed sound), i though they sounded clearer, more balanced, more detailed and despite lacking the bass impact of the m50, i found the overall sound of the hd25's more agressive and fun for rock... it just sounded better to my ears, more complete.... but once again this was 6 or more months ago.... does the new ath m50x improved in any of this?
 
Beyers on the other hand i never tried one in my life and its impossible to find them in Portugal...
 
Wich do you guys think it sound closer to the hd25?
 
I am basically wanting a hd25 sound with a tiny bit more bass impact and in a over ear and more immersive experience....
 
Whats do you guys think? I will mostly use them unamped by the way...
 
Cheers
 
Edit: I have a guy who is offering me a trade... a pair of 250ohm dt770's for my hd25's.... but i am really keen on getting the 80ohm one because of my needs.... should i take the deal or the 250ohm version for me is different from te 80ohm one and too hard to drive?

DT770s have a v-shaped response. So if you thought the M50s were "too scoped in the mids," I would rule the DT770s out.
