  You are spot on about the signature ........but I did find the 770 to be a wonderful addition to anybody's collection  (At least mine) 

EarCup's feel cheap ? (You mean ear pads ?) I think the open cans just differ in Bezel density

Yeah meant the pads they are a lot stiffer than the dt990s, sort of feels like they took beanbag material and put it inside a dt990 pad.
 
And oh god, I tried putting on DT990 pads on the DT770........it was awful.

Starting to like the headphones, guess just takes a while of getting used to, unlike the DT990 where I liked it immediately.

The 770s are the stiffest, then the 880s are softer and the 990s are the softest. They're intended for the headphone model they come on.

Yeah .....but still they are super comfortable 
I think you'll like them , its just a matter of time .......I always had bad luck with Beyer , I was going to get the 880 but ended up with a HE-300  after that it was time for the 990 (got the Brainwavz HM5) so finally a Beyer in the collection is making me real happy 
 
Not to mention  all the closed headphones I owned  suffered from grain so I am really enjoying the signature

Well yeah they are comfortable just feels sort of weird when you first put them on.
 
Hmm now I'm wondering how the Beyer Custom Ones sound in comparison to the DT770s/990ss

 

[Kbman]

So as far as audio quality, the best sounding (without a high quality amp) is going to be 80 OHM or so for the beyers? How about the 990? What would be the best for them? Because at the moment I am planning on purchasing an E17 to power the headphones I get if need be so I believe that will work with anything under 120 OHM or so?

Me too 
Don't quote me but I think they just differ in the bass reflex system , I could terribly wrong though 

 

[TsukiNick]

How do I make the DT770s less bright.  Some parts of vocals are just ear piercing.

 

[PETEREK]

Take off your pads, and then the black fabric under that and put some felt in front of the middle of the driver. That will help, that's how the dt880s come stock.

anyone got a cheap (under 100USD) headphone amp+dac recommendation for these. Having a tough time.
 
No Fiio units please I've got a bad feeling about those.

You really shouldn't be afraid, they make quality equipment at a great price. I love my Fiio E12.

 

[rmxcat]

How would an E10 or E7 sound?

 

[PETEREK]

I would just look up reviews. I haven't own either of them, I just know that people really like what they make and that my experience with Fiio products has been very good.

 

[thug behram]

Do any of you wear glasses? I just got the 32 ohm version and it's killing me. The pads push the ends of My frames into my head behind my ear. They hurt more than the ath-m50 and v moda m100.

 

[rmxcat]

I ordered the E7. It was all I can get with the 89 dollars with amazon gift credit I had.

Actually the 880 and 990 use the same pads.
