AD-700s is a no brainer vs the F1 Half the price with 90%+ the performance.  If you can grab some used AD-700s it's even more so.
 
The coloring is a little odd, but you can easily spray paint them

^ This.
 
That's why I said if you can find the F1's for $160 or less, get them over the AD700...They are worth the $60 or so extra.....not $200 extra.

Basically the same can be said about the AD900's and the K701's.

Yea, but I don't have either of those phones, so I couldn't recommend them. What I do know, is the F1's are BEASTLY, more than the AD700 and DT880. I have used all 3 of them, and have tested them all with many hours of gameplay. The way you can locate sound on the F1's is AMAZING. The AD700 does it good too....it's just not as effortless as the F1.

Sadly i cant find a F1 for $160 or less at the moment...
 
So I`ll guess i go with the Ad700....
 
Thanks all your help guys....
 
You have been great....

You're going to love them....make sure you check back after you use them to let us know what you think.

I used to have the DT770 pro80. I hope you like bass, haha. Are you going to use them for gaming?

Yes they are mainly for gamming, usually I play on low volume with open headphones and then fan noises gets in ( i use low noise fans on cpu and tower but graphics card is noisier too and haven't moded it), i don't wanna play till late on speakers on loud and disturb my familiy. so closed ones was a must when considering a upgrade, i was nealry for the sn360game cause of good mic but open air made me wonder i found this forum and started reading and i finally decided on 770s. about bass I'm not really sure i will find out when i try them, I think yes
 
The games i play are mostly FPS like CoD4 on HC mode so its not forgiving fewer shots gets you dead faster than other FPS so positioning is important, TCE (ET mod CS like),  sometimes MW2 , sometimes UT3, CMcR dirt2, Stcrft2.

Please do post a review of your brand new DT770-80 ohms once you get your hand on it. I'm interested in purchasing one of those, as an all-arounder (gaming, music, movies), especialy due to the isolation it provides. Please evaluate the bass levels as well, since I don't want to end with a headache after a gaming session.

I can say that the bass of the 770pro80's was WAYYYY too strong. It drowned out alot of the other important sounds. It was also pretty muffled compared to my other headphones. I actually liked my bose headphones better for gaming. The 770's were better for single player games, and even then, the bass was too strong in some parts. To the point where the drivers would vibrate.

Oh, that sucks.. I didn't want headphones with such strong bass... but still I'm looking for some isolation.. I guess trying it before buying is a must for me.. btw, in my case, I''ll be using them mostly for single player games, not for competitive purposes, aiming for "immersion"

The only thing good about the 770 in my experience was the isolation, haha. Other than that....too much mud and bass....really took away from the immersion when all I heard was BOOM BOOM BOOM.
