Argh I'm really torn between keeping either my A900x or Pro 80, and I was thinking it through, and is the Pro 80 technically better than the m50? Because if they were then it would make sense as to how both these headphones are sidegrades in my head, even though one costs $45 and the other $150... There was a review comparing the m50 and Pro 80, and said the Pro 80 was more accurate and the m50 was more "fun," but I'm someone who believes in EQ and the Pro 80's mid-bass responds well with EQ.
The A900x is the opposite, however, its mids and treble have the least distortion and respond the best to EQ, while its bass is comparatively murky and hollow no matter what. However, on these forums and others the DT770 is considered a side-grade to the A900x, wheras they are a straight upgrade to the Pro 80, making me sway to the A900x. Because to my own ears, I simply don't know, they are both enjoyable and very different headphones, with the Pro 80 imo having the best and most accurate sound, with no EQ as well, but it is outright claustrophobic as compared to the A900x.
This seems like the classic closed vs. open dilemma. If I had to choose, I would generally go with closed.
