Not sure if I want these.
I dislike how Beyerdynamic does V, so maybe I just need something even more V to convince me?
Personally I think these are pretty great if you want a pretty good v shape for the price. TBH beyer does a weird v shape and it’s more their house sound than a v shape (but it’s easier to describe it as a v shape)
144€… HMMMmmm
Kind of a lot for a jump in the unknown.
apparently the gold version of these headphones are not as good as the silver so beware which ones you get

Where have you heard that? I haven’t heard anything like that

I’ve had one of these for several years. I mostly used mine for commuting but as I don’t commute now they have generally sat in the cupboard. The concern I would have for gaming is wearing them for many hours, as they are on-ear not over-ear. I found them fine for the first 45 minutes and then even the slight pressure on the ear starts to be felt and to be annoying. If gaming is a half-day or more adventure I suggest looking elsewhere for full over-ear headphones.
PS Agree that the sound is very good and fun is an apt description.

Hmmm, well that’s good to know, found more info here on the differences. It seems there is a tuning and driver difference

I really wish these had larger earcups to me more overear, as the comfort is kinda a pretty large limiting factor for some with these
Agree. Damn good for on-ear, and worked well for me commuting as they were always worn for less than an hour. Tried once with a movie at home and by the end decided never to do that again!
Strange, I wonder why they did that without making it more clear

I am honestly a bit pissed about this discovery.
Releasing different models is alright, but communicate that to the user FFS.
Make them the H1707 and H1708 or whatever.
Were you looking at a gold or a silver one?
I have the silver ones (did research and also found reviewers preferred the silver to gold), but the box mine came in clearly states it is a titanium driver. Some more googling and this may have been a mistake on the box??? Although it is also just a coating, not the driver material as such. Still, I was very happy with mine and may give them a blast later since this discussion came up.

I don’t care about the looks.
I care about knowing what I buy.
I was mainly asking if the one you were going to buy was the gold or the silver, as which one was available over there
You tell me:
Listing shows pictures of both.
Place your bets everyone, silver or gold

It wouldn’t surprise me if they are all the same graphene coated driver now. And also a black version (market specific possibly?). https://global.1more.com/product/triple-driver-over-ear-headphones/
