I need to replace my Beyerdynamic dt770 any suggestions

[Chris1972]

I had the Beyerdynamic dt770 pro 80 ohm head phones which I was using for music and online gaming. I sent them in to be repaired and found out the repair would cost more than a new pair. I cant afford a new pair right now. can you recommend a good replacement that would cost me less than $150

SoundMAGIC HP150 and the AKG K553 and more portable K545. You might read about those. Of course, you could always just get the DT770 again...

Does it matter if the headphones are open or closed?
Can you say what you liked or did not like about the DT770 Pro 80-Ohm headphones, might help for recommendations.
Did you plug the DT770 straight into the source or do you have an amplifier (or DAC/amp)?

If it was a diver that went out. I'm assuming they will send you your pair back. A replacement diver is about 50 if i remember correctly and un like a lot of headphones the dt770 comes apart super easy and has giant tabs on the diver and normal size wire to solder.
