MDR7509 vs DT770Pro vs DT250-250

depends on what you're after

I went from using a pair of 7509's to a pair of 770's. definately more detail there and I prefer the sound of the 770s. But there's ALOT more bass compared to the 7509. and with the right source/amp the 770's aren't bloated at all. but there's also the fact the 770's need an amp. unamped they're quite, uninspiring to say the least. If I didn't have an amp I'd rather the 7509's as they're just much easier to drive to and sound nice than an unamped 770.

If you'll definately have the amp to give the 770's the juice they need they're definately the pick against the 7509. I haven't used a pair of dt250's though so I can't comment on them against the other two.

Have a good day (or night?) everyone!



For a headphone that is unamped and closed, the mdr7509 is the way to go. It also is more forgiving to sources than other phones. Also, the mdr7506 is used alot by the media and studios, largely because it holds up so well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the mdr7509 is even better built than the mdr7506. I can't really compare them to the 770 or 250 because I only used those briefly. I say, if you like what you heard, go for it.

The 7509 and 7506 are entirely two different headphones. The 7509's, iirc, use the same kind of drivers found in those DJ line of headphones. I would make an assumption that the V900 drivers are used in the 7509's. The 7506's=MDR-V6 headphones which are used for reference listening in a studio environment.

Using that equation, wouldn't the 7506's be using the V600 drivers?

My point there was that V6/mdr7506 are largely chosen for their durability, and as far as I can tell the mdr7509 is built even better.

Actually, the 7506's are a much older design than the 7509's.

And the V600's and V900's are of the very same generation of V-series headphones.
