Possibly, the beyerdynamic changed something in the design of the 1770 in new batches. I had two copies of these headphones and both of them played out very loudly.

Using your phone or dam/amp?

I also had Beyerdynamic Custom Studio headphones with velour ear pads. Outside, they played very quietly, even at high volume.

I used CEntrance DACportable SP.

For the velours it can depend on how they’re sealing too. The 177X seals around my ears very well. I use them in an open office with velours and don’t get any complaints either.

Beyerdynamic didn't change DT 1770.
I've got DT 177X GO, DT 770 Pro 32 and Custom One Pro+. DT 177X GO is louder than the other two. Not by much, but audibly louder.
Sealing is good on all (not wearing glasses).
Tried DT 770 Pro and Custom One Pro+ pads on DT 177X GO. No difference in "loudness".

I had no idea there is a actual 1770X GO. Can't find it on Beyerdynamic's official store and Amazon US says within 1 to 3 months?

It’s a Drop.com exclusive. There’s a thread that’s been going around on here but it’s pretty quiet. Not very popular it seems but a good can. I like my pair.

Pro: a "better" tuned DT 1770; treble taken down a notch and transition mid - bass - sub bass is smoother.
Con: it's delivered without the DT 1770 case.

Yeah really kind of annoying they didn’t include any accessories other than the sheepskin pads. But I got a Slappa case from Amazon and they run about $20 so not too bad.

Received the Dekoni leather pads and I really like what its done cosmetically and functionally. Isolation is great. The headphones look great with the pads !

Update. After a few days of burn in, I gave these a critical listen and sadly I won't be keeping them. It has plenty of mid-bass but it doesnt render sub-bass well in my listening. The mid bass also bleeds into the mids. The treble also bothers me. I was hoping to use these as my work cans. I still really like the DT150 and find them a lot more balanced and accurate.

Its not a fair comparison I know but I was using the Fostex TH900 mk2 at work and wanted something with a bit more isolation. I gave my Fostex a listen after these and omg its no contest. Ordered the dekoni pads for my Fostex which I hope will bring some more isolation and sticking with my Fostex and DT150 for work use.

Is the 1770 Pro better than the 770 Pro? Or should I stick to my current ones?

I would have stayed with the 770. 1770 a bad headphone.

Alright. Can you tell more about why it wouldn't be a upgrade from the 770?
