Hi everyone,
How does the DT1770 PRO compare to the DT1350 in sound quality(specially vocal)? I just wanna know if this a worthy upgrade from DT1350 to DT1770 or not?

Does this beyer has hot treble? I heard the dt770 series are good for electronic. For a closed can lets give a try.

I heard that these are like T1v2 + DT770 = closed-back T1!

Would be great if so, aka: Bang for the buck.

Without having tried the DT 1770 yet, I can tell you that if it's meant to be an upgrade from the DT 770, then it's sure as he** gonna sound way better than DT-1350. I've owned the 1350 for a few years and tried the 770, and it just has a lot more clarity, stage and even broader freq. response than the 1350, overall 2-3 times more refined. And given all the interest for this new headphone, I'm sure you'd have no problem reselling it to one of us if you don't like it.
 
I actually tested the 770 with electronic music and it had done mesmerizingly well with that genre. But I went with the DT 880 instead at the time

Given that 1350 is so much physically smaller and meant to be portable unlike DT770, that's not really a fair comparison.  Good full-sized headphones that go for over $100 online will generally always be upgrades to some degree or another over the little portables.  Unless using a big ol' DT770 on-the-go is fine for you.

  My DT250 250ohms is in my office now. so I can't provide direct comparison but by memory.
 
DT1770 is a bit similar to DT250 in tonal balance, especially its dark, stout sound.
But much clearer treble and wider soundstage, heavier & tighter bass. and detail is far step-forward.
If you like DT150 or DT250 (warmer and darker beyers), DT1770 will be idealistic upgrade.  

 
If this is true - I MUST HAVE DT1170
 
If it is not true, I will not trust you in the future

Believe me, I'm a fan of DT150 too.
They say DT1770PRO is an upgrade of DT770, but IMO the sound signature is more like DT150.
Of course tighter, more punchy bass and lotta detail in treble will convince you it's a sure upgrade from DT150.

I found the PM-3 dark and muddy, quite on par with the V-Moda M80, too much bass emphasis and not punchy/detailed enough.

Interesting. Tyll found them bass light and balanced in mids / highs. V-Moda has MASSIVE bass. I think you'd like the Pioneer HRM-7. Nice bass, but lots more highs.

 

Would like to see how it compares to the Pioneer HRM-7 or Focal Spirit Pro?

I've heard both. HRM-7 has good sound staging, mids / lows, but a high peak similar (not as bad) as the DT770. Focal Spirit Pro is smaller sounding, lacks sub bass.

Did you try removing the foam covering the driver of DT150? If you do so, does it come to a comparable level for clarity of DT1770PRO?
 
The price difference is too much for two HP's. Does the price difference warrant the improvements you hear (for DT1770PRO, of course YMMW)?

As an audiophile/musician for 30 years and worked in hi end retail too I can tell you that making a purchase based on graphs is dangerous, bordering on the idiotic.

DT150's cost/performance ratio is superb, and generally the price go up higher, the more you have difficulty to find difference.
and this is all very subjective things, so I can't warrant improvements.
But DT1770PRO's bass is seriously seductive. it's tighter, punchy, and adds music dignity and depth that you really can enjoy.
It's the point you never can get from DT150 whatever mod you put on it. so IMO it's worth 400 dollars difference.

What about the mids and highse? The DT150 seems to have a bit of recessed highs how is the DT1770?

Mid are excellent with very natural, lively vocals.
and highs are bit forward than DT150's with different level of detail and clarity, but not as harsh as DT 770/990's and never spike my ears.
I can't find weakness of this headphones yet. very well tuned and enjoyable. almost all aspects of the sound is just right for me.
