DT770 Pro 80 Ohm

Sound Signature: Smooth V shape. Good bass, recessed mids, rolled off highs. Some may find the highs too bright at times. Sound Stage: Wide Sound Isolation: Mediocre. I can hear quite a bit through these as opposed to other headphones, like the AKG K271 MKII. Velour pads don't seal as well as leather/leatherette. Sound Leakage: Poor. In my opinion, there's too much sound leaking from these headphones to really use for studio recording. They may also leak too much for other quiet environments, like a library. Build Quality: Excellent Comfort: Good. Clamp force may be a little too much for those sensitive to it. The velour pads are very comfortable. DT770 Pro 250 Ohm

Sound Signature: Less bass, cleaner mids, brighter highs. These sound more balanced than the 80 Ohm, but the highs are more pronounced and a bit too bright for me. From a listening enjoyment perspective, I personally didn't find them as enjoyable as the 80 Ohm. YMMV. I mostly enjoyed both of these these headphones. However, after a few weeks, the clamp force was a tad bit too much for me, and the wide sound stage with recessed mids on the 80 Ohm made me feel like some detail was being lost. Due to that and the piercing highs that presented themselves at times on some of my favorite songs, I ended up returning my pair (purchased elsewhere). The 250 Ohm were too bright and not very exciting to listen to. My AKG K271 MKII headphones, which are very analytical, were more enjoyable than the 250 Ohm, and don't make my ears bleed with the highs. Overall, I think that build quality, comfort, and sound is good for the price. It's really a matter of personal preference.

jujubuYou can gently bend the headphones to fix the clamping pressure. Since everyone's head is a different size this is basically a must for any high end headphone that has metal adjustment arms.
