My headphones came with no documentation or booklets in the box. No owner's manual or warranty info; just headphones, cable, and ear cups. Is this normal?
I, too, used to be flippant about ‘phone guides. My gf gave me a pair I’d wanted and in my excitement I skipped the guide. We spent that night in the ER, but the doctors eventually removed the 3.5mm jack from my cornea.
Sometimes I want documentation, e.g., instructions for flatpack furniture or title for a new car. Also, shrinkwrapping a box that arrives inside another box isn’t necessary. Neither are tamper-evident seals. Hell, I run global clinical research programs for a big, big pharma and consult regulatory agencies on packaging and labeling (which is a life/death subject). Never have I heard anyone propose additional packaging, not without subsequent eyerolls or laughter.
These have much less pronounced Beyer Highs, especially if you listen to heavy music, these are better, more pleasant sound
The impedance on 177x is lower, 32 vs 250 ohms on 1770, so they are much easier to drive and wont require a amp, but I would still recommend having one with a dac, to make them sound better
These have less accessories than 1770, these only come with 1 cable, 2 pads, while the 1770 come with a case,2 cables and 2 pads
Answer. Right here. Drop refunded as soon as I returned them. Brett in support was great! Missed the drop to reorder so haunting the site to replace or find a different pair. Love open back headphones, but love the closed back sound. Must resist the CX's...
