Same happened to me comparing my 1990 Pros (my ears fit perfectly) and the T 1.3s I tried (pinched my ear lobes and had to return them).Huh, fascinating. I will say that I do actually like the extra _depth_, it's just that the DT770 had a wider opening that meant that the pad wasn't ever pushing on my ears.
With the DT700s, my ear all fits inside the cup and so it's not resting on my ears, but inside the cup my ear is being folded down a bit. If the opening was just a couple millimeters wider, it would be perfection.
But as you say, personal comfort is, well, personal. Hopefully one day I'll find a pair of cans with the comfort of the DT770s, the audio quality of the DT 700s (or better), a punchy V-shaped sound, and a swappable cable. I guess the quest for the perfect headphones is eternal.
A headphone reviewer with hearing loss? Should dedicate to do other videos...
It’s not a question of the effort involved, but the form.
Hearing loss is probably more common than you think, especially in adults. As long as reviewers are forthright about how they experience audio, their thoughts can be equally interesting and worthwhile.A headphone reviewer with hearing loss? Should dedicate to do other videos...
Totally agree—these DTs are built like tanks. I love how timeless they look (especially the clean lines of the 700).
Especially when sorting by price... I really disapprove of the ever increasing prices, which, to my experience, are seldom matched with equally advancing quality (be it audio or build).
Yes, I was only jocking... Some people worry, for example, about Crinacle's Sony Z1Rs, Denon 9200s or Beyer T 1.3s rankings, but like @KPzypher said above: who cares if you like the sound?
What you've said here reminds me of my friend @eric65 which uses his Sennheiser HD 560 and 400 Pro and have his Kennerton Thekk inside a vitrine because he prefers the sound of the Sennies...Who cares what others have to say?
If you like the product, enjoy. If not, move on. We're all entitled to our own opinions. Make a judgement based on your own, not someone else's. Plus, give me one reviewer that doesn't show bias. I've purchased many products that are universally considered "bad," and they turned out to be absolute gems. If you rely on reviewers, you're likely gonna miss out on some great opportunities.
Anyways, build quality of these new DTs is exceptional IMO. Slapping on bunch of metal and wood don't turn HPs into premium cans. There are too many high-end cans that weigh a ton and look nothing more than a DIY project with heinous ergonomics.
