If you live in North Carolina there is a charolette meet coming up. I'm going to it and I'm bringing my westone 3 iems and my vmoda m100
I am sorry matt but the momentum is one of the failures for Sennheiser in my eyes. Momentum doesn't have a lot of bass nor is it that tight. It's pretty loose and overall sound seems to be going no where. I am though excited for the new HD8.
I disagree. The Momentum is not the typical Sennheiser sound - but I wouldn't call it a failure. I think it is fairly neutral and smooth - which is something you don't get from most Sennheisers.
The Skullcandy? No. Gawd No. I would rather see you buy Beats.
Nimbo, thanks I'm in los angeles so I'll keep an eye for a meet in this area
Guys, I got the dt770 and they sound AWFUL when using them with my iphone...they become very distorted at the higher volumes and sound terrible...I understand there are portable amplifiers but I don't really want to go that route, just a good set that will work without an amp or maybe has a built in amp...
The dt770 do sound nice on my MacBook tho...but then again I need the headphones mainly for use my iphone at work...
What do you guys think?
I've had no issue driving the DT770 Pro-32 directly out of an iPhone 4S. The audio quality of the iPhone 5/5S is supposedly worse than the 4S, but it shouldn't sound as bad as you describe. Also, this wouldn't cause a problem exclusively for the iPhone, but if you are using velour pads, I've heard they alter the sound signature in a negative way, especially in the bass department.
If you really find the DT770 lacking out of your iPhone, you might want to consider the Custom One Pro. It is somewhat easier to drive at 16 ohms and is more of a bass head can than the DT770, with the adjustable bass level slider. However, when I tried both the DT770-32 and COP, I preferred the DT770-32 for its wider soundstage and improved detail/clarity.
These two reviews from Headfonia might help with your decision, they do a pretty good job of comparing and contrasting the DT770 and COP: (Anniversary Edition is identical to the current DT770 Pro-32)
