Hi everyone.

I'd like to upgrade my headphones. I've bought the Sony mdr-XB550 two years ago when my BD DT 990 Pro stopped functioning properly right when I was literally BROKE. :rolling_eyes:

Even thought it was a downgrade at the time I was happy to have this 40€ pair of cans. It's decent for the price but now I feel it's time for an upgrade and I'm thinking about the MDR-XB950BT.

Has anyone here owned both ? Is it worth it or should I go wit the BT 770 PRO ?

Those are the two options I'm looking at considering the ath-m50x is already out. I clearly remember choosing the dt 990 pro over the M50 back in the days. I'm guessing the BT 770 is the same but with closed back.

I will listen to various music styles with it from rock to stoopid bass heavy trap tracks.

The only issue I have with BeyerDynamics now is that I have already broken two pairs of them :/ .


Thank you for reading :wink:


Edit : I just realized the Sony MDR-1AM2 just went from 249€ to 119€ on amazon so I have a third option. Starts to be confusing ahah.
