I received mine yesterday morning, but couldn't listen much yet. Also I'm a beginner in terms of serious listening, but always had a Beyerdynamic headphone for gaming/ movies, which is the reason why I thought to get this one (besides having the possibility to replace the cable easily). I only listened to a couple of songs from different genres each so far. I noted some impressions out of the box and without going back and forth to the standard version:
- Clamp pressure is less than standard DT770. Especially for my small head, but very comfortable.
- DT770 sound "signature" is kept.
- Treble might be too much for some people, but partially I was also listening too loud. When i reduced the volume and played some Fleetwood Mac the treble was fine for me. I checked with a volume meter (app) and the reduced volume, it showed averaging 67dB, max 75dB. Maybe I was listening too loud? Maybe it is dependent on the genre/track?
- Bass seems to go a little deeper than standard DT770.
- Heard some drums that sounded absolutely great with these. Big and powerful.
- Technically better than standard dt770.
- Better/wider sound stage.
- More resolution.
