Hi. As the title says, i have a small "problem". I've tested both DT770 Pro (32 ohm) and the Momentum (16ohm, over ear), and i liked them both.
I wil be using it mainly on my laptop and my phone. The Momentum costs like 200$ more than the DT770s, but is it worth it?
I already have AKG K518LE, but it feels like they are missing that one important bit when i use them, plus they're not the kind that feels good to use for more than an hour or two.
I'm kind of new to the Hi-Fi scene, so any help is apreciated.
 
Thanks in advance.

I can't recommend either cause I haven't heard them but judging by frequency response the beyer is more balanced and would work with many different genre's of music.

I would recommend the 770s over the Momentum. I have the 990 Pros right now and if you don't care about isolation, they are fantastic.

Isolation from noises "outside"? That's not really a problem.

What sort of music do you listen to? Would help in deciding the best phone for you.

For rock music I would recommend the DT 770s for you, but then again, I never heard the Momentum before.

I own both the 770Dt's and Audio Technica M50's and I've recently tested the Momentums and frankly liked them very much. I didn't quite like their price though. Nonetheless FWIW I would submit that my Audio Technica M50's get far more ear time than my Beyerdynamics, purely because they sound so much better to me. So I would hope that you also give the M50's a listen too before you finally commit, as IMO they're very close to momentums on SQ and for far less outlay. HTH

Sorry for delays in my response. I mostly listen to dubstep, some hip hop and drum & bass.
Haven't bought any yet. I wanna be 100% sure before i buy something.
Also, i'm gonna do like you said Disquisitive, give the M50s a listen.

The Momentum on-ears sound great with that kind of music, but the comfortability isn't very good. The headband will slowly start to hurt your head after a couple of hours, but there propably is a way to modify it. The price is also a little high for the quality, but if you can swing it, no problem
All in all, the Momentum on-ears are very good cans, especially for electronic music, hip hop, etc.
