xiaofengStraight up. Do not buy. I got sennheisers and can not go back to that. The sound signature of the DT990 pros are awesome. The 1770s are garbage. I just ordered the 770s and I’m hopeful that they are awesome. I would watch zreviews on YouTube on any headphones you may be interested in. Just not the 177x go. Do not buy them. Please

xiaofeng@Badg3r too, I am switching between DT 1990s and the HD650s as i am typing this. I'd say to avoid the 6XXs (pretty much the same as 650s) because to me, they can sound congested on certain tracks where theres many instruments and bass stuff going on in the background. The 6XXs soundstage is very intimate imo, and adding to it, its separation is not the best. Not sure how to describe it, but each instrument and vocals takes up more space than usual, given its limited soundstage, things can get messy fast in certain demanding tracks.
This is where the 1990 (and maybe 1770s) is the opposite of 6XXs. 1990 have a soundstage that extends a little more outside your head, and its imaging and separation is very precise. On the same demanding tracks, i am still able to make out the small details that plays in the background. 1990s soundstage just sounds more natural to me, instead of being cramped in your head. This alone is a big winner for me as I'm kinda used to speakers soundstage and imaging.
Sound signature wise, yes the highs of the 1990s (and 1770s, assuming both have the same signature Beyerdynamic highs?) can get a little hissy at times, but just hissy (keyword), and never sharp and piercing to me. It makes vocals sound a little hissy and high hats brighter. It gets your attention but never annoys.
I would say the 6XXs is a much more natural sounding cans than the 1990s (and 1770?) in almost every way, and thus also a more neutral bass response. 1990 have a more detailed bass and goes a bit lower. I imagine the closed back 1770 will be even lower than that of the 1990.
So in the end it depends on your preference, but to me the better separation and larger soundstage of the 1990 is a win for me over the 6XX.

TetraEngineThanks for the detailed reply
HD650 and 6XX has been getting tonnes of praise. Was looking at a closed back since I have a HE4XX and thinking of another can for working, commute or travel setting.
Kinda hesitating now though since I don't touch the HE4XX much, prefer speakers as you said haha. Headphones strain my neck after a while. Might get one once we can travel again :P
Thanks!
Edit: Oh god save my wallet, just saw Elex is on sale for $550

xiaofengThey have tons of QC issues with the Elex tho... I really wanted to get the Elex but since Im from Singapore and they dont ship here, i think they dont offer warranty here too. Too bad i guess...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
