Yeah...we already covered that in the K701 thread. You're an internet troll. Pretty much the same thing though.

Then again, since you're supposedly some brilliant university level Logic professor audiophile extraordinaire...you would already know that.

Exactly. He's obviously an insanely delusional "audiophile", since his ears can't tell the difference between a "fun" and "reference" headphone.

I particularly hate self proclaimed "audiophiles". I would never call myself an audiophile unless I gained bat-like hearing.

Audiophile just means you like audio, it doesn't say anything about your abilities. Imo audiophile's are mostly disturbed people, who don't care about music at all, but just about nitpicking and spending money on equipment, and then telling everybody how good it is, to not only convince them, but also themselves. And intoart is to be ignored at all times.

It is fun to pester him; to an extent.

The DT770 Pro/80s meet every one of those criteria.

The DT770? you have to be joking. When I try listening to those it sounds like shards of glass are being forced into my ear canal by the boomy bass. They have never provided me with a great listening experience. "great sound" for you is crap for me. Everyone is different. My HD580 gives me the best listening experience.

As for the OP you dont seem like you have had much listening experience, and I just wanted to say you dont need to spend $1000+ to get a killer headphone setup. The most expensive doesn't mean it will sound the best to you.

Sorry that you have such a painful medical condition. I have never had the feeling of shards of glass being forced into my ears, and it seems quite unpleasant.
You cannot blame the 770s, though, since they do not have "boomy bass". On the contrary, they have extremely tight, clean, detailed bass with no boominess or muddiness whatsoever.

Can I have some of what you're having? I'd be done buying audio gear then.

You weren't as much of a nuisance back in February, what happened?

Then why are you making the same false accusation again? Are you a pathological liar, perhaps?

 

[manaox2]

As for intoart being a troll, stating opinions as facts, and calling everyone who disagrees fools and liars, start at post #77 here:

Best course of action is to not respond.

I can't help but wonder how much of the "excessive, boomy bass" complaints regarding the 770 (I'm assuming you're referring to the Pro/80 version) are a result of bad synergy between the 'phones and the amp and/or source driving them? Or, for that matter, how much of it involves production variations?

In my own setup, I find my 770 Pro/80s' bass to be very well-controlled, and not at all boomy or muddy. Cello, double bass, pipe organ, tympani, bass drum, tuba, bassoon, bass clarinet, electric bass guitar, and bass human voice all sound like they should - and the bass doesn't get in the way of the midrange and treble. The sound I'm getting is very clear and well-defined.

That being said, I would not recommend using these cans with a bass boost from an amp or equalizer!

I do think that Beyer should have given the different 770 variations different model numbers e.g. 770, 771, 772, etc., to prevent confusion.

 

[Ishcabible]

I don't really know about others, but I think I'm bassaphobic. If I think my K271s are bassy, which are considered bassless, then I must have a problem.

Glad to know that I am not the only one!
