These have 4-pin connector instead 3-pin on 1770s. This makes it possible to use balanced cable without modding of headphones

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

depends on what you use to power these, it is always a good idea to have even a weak amp like an apple dongle for example

No, so long as the output impedance of whatever is driving it is lower than the impedance of the headphones, if so, it will require slightly less power to drive that the 1770 Pro which I own. The 32 ohms is more in line with plugging into low-power portable devices which usually have a low output impedance. This in combination with headphones that are slightly higher impedance than the output of a headphone amp will make the best use of the often, low power. The only time 32 ohms would be a problem is if the output impedance of what is driving it is higher than 32 ohms in which case you would get some attenuation across the audio band but more attenuation in the high frequencies. A lot of component preamps have at least a 100-ohm output impedance which would not be a good match. I'm sure someone makes an RCA to Headphone jack kluge but not a good idea with these headphones. The output impedance of a tube preamp would be worse still. The impedance of these is close to ideal for portables as I mentioned before. The impedance of the 1770 Pro would work in all kinds of scenarios.
If I were to get these, it would be for use with my smartphone or laptop. What would be really nice in either case would be a headphone cord that has a high-quality DAC/headphone amp built in and has only a USB C or Lightning connector.

This says "Estimated ship date is April 19." Is it still ok for me to make the purchase on the 20th or 21st?

Would this be a good match (for my hard to drive) HFM HE560 Phones? My magni sound good but seems a bit underpowered. Any help please, Thanks.

Is it best to use the high gain setting with 300 ohm headphones? And what is the cutoff between high and low gain settings and headphone impedence? Maybe a stupid question, but I'm new to this. Thanks.

Are these copies of the Audiotechnicia ATH-M50Xs? The specs are quite similar and the design is definitely inspired by them.

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.

Sound Signature of the Grell Project.
Wondering what type of sound signature the Drop Grell project headphones will have or trying to attain. Any update would be appreciated.

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.
