Snug, but fits. It'll relax a bit over time too.

Does the pilot pad actually improve the comfort and remove the hotspot?

And how do you install the pilot headband? Need to remove the screws?

 

[Benno1988]

Yes. Very much so. Very wide support. Super soft and padded to spread across the whole head.

It has a velcro along one edge. So install takes 10 seconds.

 

[Benno1988]

3 hours on the head now. No discomfort.

Compared to 45min prior.

Recommend!

Another angle.

Is that the pilot or co-pilot pad?

 

[Benno1988]

Pilot pad.

Co-Pilot doesn't fit as well.

 

[Benno1988]

Co Pilot for those wondering. Not so good.

Hey all - long time reader, short time poster

Was thinking of picking up a pair of Cascades and was thinking of replacing my DT 177X Go and Mobius with them. Any comparison on how they sound compared to the 177X Go as the Mobius has a lot more 'other' applications to them so I'd probably keep them around. Mostly listen to Jazz, electronic, instrumental / metal, and rock

Thank you!

The Cascade is kind of a different beast than the Mobius. If you use the right source, the Cascade will scale to great heights. Mobius is a good bluetooth headphone. The Cascade will beat it in every category with a wide margin. To get the most out of the Cascade, you may need a very good DAP like a Fiio M15. Many use it as a desktop setup. I take it to work with me everyday, and I love it.

Cascade works with pretty much all genre's of music. It's got great treble, very good mids, and insane bass. The soundstage and imaging are remarkable for a closed can with small driver. The oversize pads will give you more sense of space, so should be benefit your music interests.

One thing to know is that the Cascade is a little unforgiving. Poorly recorded tracks will get revealed, but it rewards you for the well recorded ones.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely looking to pick up a pair and have them replace either my DT 177x or the Mobius. As you said I do like the Mobius for gaming/bluetooth use but don't use it much more often than that. I've got an XD-05+ and an Dragonfly Black, hopefully between those two it should be enough to push the Cascade (and an R3 Saber Pro for on the go listening). Appreciate the response!

Can't tell you about 177X, but Cascade is well suited to heavier/darker genres, eg I love mine for EDM, Rap, and the heavier side of indie/alternative/classic rock.
It also plays well with most sources, phone/DAP/desktop amp, Cascade will sound good/better/best with them all.

The Cascade is more comfortable and has a more pleasant overall tone than the DT1770.

Also more portable and less power hungry for a portable.

I agree and what makes the Cascade even better is a pure silver cable.

Be nice to tone down the bass a little more. I prefer the XL pads for comfort and everything but the cloth pads has the least bass.
