I just received the Beyer dt770's that I ordered through the manufacture page on the web. I'm very impressed with Beyerdynamics service. When I ordered these, Beyer provided me with a confirmation email indicating a “delivery date” of August 1. I assumed that would be a guess and I wasn't really looking to see the phones for another week or so. Needless to say I was surprised when they showed up right on time.

Anyway, I bought the 250 ohm version in a black and silver theme and am using leather earpads at the moment. I also got some velour ones too. I'd love to post my impressions regarding the sound, but, being inexperienced in the headphone arena I'll just say I like the sound better than the Sennheiser HD-280 Pro's I was using previously (not a fair comparison I know). I was afraid of “overwhelming bass” but thats not the case IMO. While the dt770's don't isolate as well as the 280's they sure are a heck of a lot more comfortable. My main concern was sound leaking out and in that respect they are good (my wife can't hear what I'm listening to).

I'd like to blame

, I mean thank, trose49 because it was his post of the manufactured dt990's that got me thinking of buying a pair of customized headphones from Beyer directly.

Now I've got to do something with all the parts I have laying in my garage for a Millet Max build. BTW, I'm using a SOHA amp with the dt770's at the moment.

The common joke here “sorry about your wallet” certainly has a lot of truth to it.

Thanks guys/gals great site.

I've had them on all evening. They're more fun to listen to than the Senn 280 Pro's which is the only other headphone I've listened to. I'm going to try to do some more critical listening to be able to give some "newb" impressions.

Congrats on your purchase EchO..........Very nice indeed.

Oooooo gorgeous!

They look great on that WooAudio stand! (I'm not jealous, because I have one, too!)

I think you'll like the 770. It's great fun.

I wish other manufacturers offered the same kind of customization possibilities as Beyerdynamic does....................

They look so much nicer then the PROs....

Hey, thanks guys.

I was going to burn them in with pink noise, but, I think I'll just keep listening to them and let them burn in naturally. Having too much fun with them at the moment.
