I've just reduced the price and best offer amount. Just had a near buy, hurry up folks.
I currently have HD650s running on a Schiit stack. However, I am not completely happy with the sound signature and I think I would enjoy something more V-shaped like the original DT 770s. Would the new DT 1770s be a good match for me?

Hi sainteb,
You mention both, both imo are very similar but not the same, both dt's have the basic Beyer house sound, ie slightly v shaped, sparkly highs, powerful bass, slightly recessed mids, the original dt 770 is the brighter of the two, it has similar levels of detail compared to the 650, it will also, at first seem much brighter, bass is deeper too, also both versions, for closed back, have good soundstage, almost equal to the 650, the 1770 is similar but maybe a bit more refined, slightly smoother highs compared to the original dt, a bit less sparkly, mids are still slightly recessed but very detailed, bass is deep tight and slightly warm, the 1770 is quite a bit more costly than the original though, I have owned both but I sold my 1770's because I didn't think they offered me much more than the cheaper originals, and kept my original 770's, if you like the warmth of the 650's maybe have a look at the 1770's, if you fancy something brighter, then perhaps have a look at the 770's, either way, imo you will be getting an excellent se of cans.

I've owned both and agree with the poster above. For the money I'd buy the 770 80ohms again (preferably used as I hear the new ones are tuned a bit differently and loose some of that nice deep bass), and would pass on the pricier 1770 though they a far nicer and more premium looking.

I've gotta disagree with you here. Although the 770 80 Ohms are brilliant for the money, and still what I regard as the 'bargain of the century' with regard to closed-backed headphones, they can't touch the 1770's. The 1770's are a major step forward, especially in the highs, which are so much smoother than their cheaper brother. Also, the bass is clearer and more defined. Yes, the 770's are a brilliant headphone for the money, but not a patch on the 1770's.

The 1880 is also worth looking at, I've had mine for 4 months now and it's the best headphones I've ever heard.

When and if Beyer make it
I'm guessing you mean the 1990.
1880 are in development?

Yup. The 1990's are a definite advance on the 1770's. Open-backed though...

Who is the winner between comparison 1990 versus T1 ver.2?

IMO, no clear winner. The 1990's shine with most, if not all genres, but the 1.2's have the edge in refinement when listening to jazz and classical. Different sound signatures too, and the 1.2's have a more prominent midrange.
They're both great cans IMO, but the 1990's are a more 'sensible' buy, and NOT 'behind' the 1.2's. Just different.

Who knows.
Some people, myself included, think that due to the balanced and analytical pads that come with the DT1990 it's effectively both a DT1880 and DT1990 in one headphone, and therefore there's no need for a separate DT1880. Other people, however, are holding onto the idea that Beyer will eventually produce a DT1880.
