Hi all, I'm a newbie on here and to good quality headphones... my dilemma is which of Beyer DT1770 PRO or DT1990 PRO to go for.  There is £50 price difference (1990s more pricey).  I had a pair of Grado SR325e and liked them but they were uncomfortable so I sent them back.
 
I understand the difference between open and closed back in terms of soundstage, though I have read reviews that the 1770s have a pretty wide stage for closed cans. 
 
Can anyone elaborate and tell me what I will / wont be getting if I choose one over the other ?
 
Many thanks in anticipation.

I own about 7 Beyer headphone models (DT770, DT880, DT990, T70, T90).
I'm guessing the T70 & DT1770 are somewhat a like and the DT1990 & T90 are somewhat a like.
 
I prefer the T90 over the T70, so I'm guess the DT1990 is preferable over the DT1770.

You might also read about the HE400i. Maybe it could work for you.

​Thanks for that, Im really after hearing from people who actually have the specific ones I mentioned, as although its fair enough to assume a numbering system follows, its not always the case.  Some of the youtube reviews Ive seen allude to that.  But I wanted to ask on here as I am sure there are plenty of people who know first hand   I appreciate your input though.

​Appreciate the suggestion, I have looked at those and don't like the design (which is important at this price point, or I would have kept the Grado's).  Cheers.
