Interested in your thoughts on the 177X vs 1990. I was eying the 1990 and saw the 177X on sale for $350 and decided to give them a try. I’m shocked at how much Iike them. My previous BeyerDynamic experience is with the DT990 600 which I really didn’t like until I got an amp that could drive them properly (JDS Labs Element II).
I’m still curious about the 1990 and am interested and my give them a go next year. For now the 177X are my new daily drivers.

mindhead1Yea, likewise I was also surprised at how enjoyable they are. The versatility/portability of the 32 ohm rating and closed backs also sold me. The thick dampening and leather ear pads, plus being balanced make them sound like Argons (bassy and dynamic). If I had previously known how good they were I wouldn't have spent 550 for the 1990s, which are more analytical with better imaging but not as fun. I haven't owned other Beyers but if your curious at how the 1990s sound you can exchange the dampening material with something thinner ( i use varied thicknesses of felt) and gain more detail. Enjoy your DT's !

It's really a nice little system. I don't need anything more on the Solid State side of my system. I have a couple of Schiit pieces. Currently working on old school side panels made of beautiful...

Have a pair of HIFI Man 4XX?
Drop everything you're doing and go to your streaming account (I prefer Spotify and Tidal) and pull up (search for) Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk then find track 7 (Chasing Rainbows). Strap in and plug in your amp, and hit play. You can thank me later! No streaming account? Try this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_mE0TE9a-Y&t=1715s

Beautiful Speakers
Great pair of desktop speakers! Pairing with a DAC will really bring out the best in them (not required but if you have one, try it out!). Great value deal here from Drop.

Recommends for 6XX replacement cable(s)?
The wires on the left channel plug, just before the socket are acting up and I need to replace the cable for my Sennheiser 6XX headphones. Looking at Amazon, I see actual Sennheiser cables but one of them does not have the removable 1/4 plug (I use a DAC with 1/8" jack), and I would rather not add even more connection unknowns by using an adapter down to 1/4", and the other Sennheiser cable is far too long for my usage (looking for around 2 meters or just a touch longer. The 6XX have been around for a while and I'm sure I'm not the first to need a replacement cable. I'm actually surprised that Drop doesn't offer them perpetually like they do with the ear pads, which ironically my stock pads are holding up just fine. I'm not looking for $100+ cables here, just a solid replacement for what the 6XX came with. Thanks!
