Good idea. I Velcro-ed one of those on my HE400.
From what I read, these are more detailed and neutral and the 770 is more v-shaped. I used to own the AKG K702 and loved the detail in those open cans. If these are anywhere near that, I think i'd prefer it over the 770. I can always boost the bass occasionally with an EQ
I worry these are not as isolating as the 770 from what I'm reading though. I wonder how well they'll work on a plane.
do these 553 fall off that easy like 550 did when you moved head up and down? i'm interested, screw the undetachable cable, i'm thinking anyway
From what other people have said these are pretty much exactly the same as the 550. If they 550 fell off then these would probably do the same.
I have no idea how these compare to the 550 or 551, but I'm still enjoying these. The price via massdrops just "feels" right - not sure I'd be quite as happy if I paid full retail for them. I have mine on right now, being driven by my Magni 2. Pushing some awesome Nightwish through - it's not eye (ear) opening, but they also are not overly coloring or burying things on the album.
