I since then decided to buy a Magni 3+/Modi 3 Schiit stack and want to take advantage of the power output capable of these two devices. I was wondering if upgrading to a DT 1770 250Ohm would be worth the hike in price from the DT 770 250Ohm. The DT 770 250Ohm i can get for $160 compared to the DT 1770’s being $430 currently. The 990 has higher highs in particular. To me this made it sound sibilant (/ harsh) and was the main reason for the sale. It's a bit more open - the soundstage is better, but imaging is comparable from one to the other. The 880 has smoother treble and a better low end (but neither model excels here). The Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X has a somewhat odd flavor of studio frequency response with how it emphasizes the 50-300Hz and 2kHz-20kHz ranges. If that’s an issue for you, you’ll want to look elsewhere or take the time to EQ your sound. However, this kind of response is really appealing to two demographics: gamers and mixers.

The 770 model is represented with the impedance of 16, 32, 80, 250 Ohm while the 1770’s is 250 Ohm. The Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO wins vs DT 770 PRO in sensitivity, 102 dB vs 98 dB. DT770 Pro or DT990 Pro for Production / Mixing. The question is in the title. I would use one of those for production / mixing in the late evenings when I cannot listen on big monitors. I also have the Sonarworks VST to compensate for imperfections in frequency response. What I read was that DT770 have more Bass (For me that's not always good 1. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. has a mute function. Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. multipoint count. For gaming skip DT700, but it's better tuned. DT770 with EQ sounds bigger and more open and is good for gaming. Just for music K 371 is great, but not for gaming. HD280 Pro is great for music and gaming with EQ. EQ might need a dongle or some amp, but an Apple dongle should propably be fine. The 32 ohm model of the DT 770 Pro comes with "pleather" ear pads, so that's worth looking into. I'm not sure if you can buy the pads separately, though. I believe the Brainwavz HM5 pleather pads will fit the DT770s. They are very comfortable, receive a lot of praise, and completely cover the ears, unlike the M50 pads. DT990 have a 32 ohm version, which can be driven by any phone and laptop. DT990 Pro have a 250 and 600 ohm version. I tried the 250 with my S10e and the volume was more than adequate without an amp. more replies. Joji_01. htQdD.
