After many days and nights of tossing and turning, I finally gave in to the elusive seduction of the dt770s.... CURSE YOU HEADFIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
!@#$!^@!$@!%^!@#!...

i'm now waiting impatiently for its arrival, ETA: Wednesday. I sure as hell hope this new acquisition quenches my thirst for electronic music. Thanks to this new purchase, i'm short of funds to even repair/service my car...ho ho ho..

Ditto. I just got mine almost a month ago and they are freaking amazing. Watch out though now I want to upgrade my source and re-rip my collection to lossless...

Always wanted to try these, but excessive bass sometimes gives me migraines. Are these good for rock? I'm pretty interested in buying some comfortable closed cans that don't mistreat rock. How much do these benefit from an amp?

Once i get this at my doorstep, i'll post my initial impressions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, it'll be this afternoon

This is coming from a person who doesn't hear much of a difference amping his e3cs. Yes, there is a difference.

There is a big difference if amped, especially from an underpowered source. It's quite laughable going from straight out ofmy ipod to even a MINT amp or something

I don't like them so much for rock/metal though, they do have a recessed midrange.

IMHO theyre great for rock / Prog metal... Many of which are recorded over-bright IMHO. So their bass heavy nature helps many times. Many Queensryche recordings are piercing on my brighter cans but the DT770 balances everything out nicely. Sometimes I need to use my EQ to tame / boost bass depending on my mood.

Get the tablets ready for the headache. BIG bass will rattle your head.

I lurve them with rock.

DT770/80 are a great set of cans, very comfortable. I do love mines. Easy to drive and would even sound better amped. Hope they bring your hours of listening pleasure.

Yes folks...i received the dt770-80 this afternoon, and right off the bat, the bass was overhyped as it wasn't head-jarring and the highs too piercing or so I thought???

So I just left it burning in for ONLY 8 hours, and hear I am now.... jaws on the floor, as the bass now has flourished and highs attenuated. Bass is hard-hitting and slammin' (but not to the grado's caliber), but sounds perfectly suited for electronica. If i were to sum this can up, i would label it as a grittier, edgier hd580 on steroids. More on this matter later,

Right. I think, especially with a flat-reponsy kind of source like the iPod with no EQ, the bass is nothing to write home about. However, the bass potential is definitely there, if the EQ is tweaked a bit you can get as boomy bass as your head can handle. These are great phones, imo.
