Hey guys, I'm new to the whole world of headphones, and recording, so please bare with me.
I've narrowed down my search for headphones to DT770's as recommended by a friend who is studying audio engineering. I'm slightly leaning towards the DT770m's due to the noise isolation, but I've also heard things about them not being very comfortable. I'm unable to try out the DT770's/DT770m locally, so how is the comfort?
I will be using these almost exclusively to monitor my guitar though a Eleven Rack, hence, would that mean I'll need a pair of headphones with a flat response?
Having said I'm new to the world of headphones, and audio engineering, I've read some posts and what not about the DT770's being a tad bassy, while the DT770m's are less bassy. (http://asia-pacific-india.beyerdynamic.com/service/faqs/headphones.html)
Which do you would be better all round for monitoring? (I'll be monitoring electric guitar primarily, but occasionally I'll monitor bass)
Besides monitoring my guitar through these headphones, I eventually plan to learn how to do some basic mixing as well, which brings me into my next question. Will I be better off with the higher impedance DT770 Pros, If I opt for them? Would the DT770 Pros dominate over the DT770's in mixing? And lastly, as I'm not using a power amp to power these headphones, will I achieve a decent enough volume to hear my guitar through the 250 ohm DT770s?
Thanks!
Once again, excuse my nooby-ness, as I'm 100% new to this.

1 - I'm new to headphones/audio engineering.
2- How is the comfort of the DT770's and DT770m's?
3 - Would I need a pair of flat response headphones for monitoring electric guitar?
4 - For monitoring electric guitar, and electric bass, would I be better off with the DT770's or DT770m's
5 - Mixing wise, would I be better off with the DT770's or DT770m's?
6 - Should I opt for the higher impedance ones?
7 - If I do opt for the higher impedance ones, as I'm not running them through a power amp, will I be able to still achieve a decent volume to hear my guitar through them? (250 ohm)
Thanks.!
PS.
Thankyou once again in advance, I feel like I've written a huge wall of text for people to read. I will appreciate all responses given!
Thanks!
