The cups are where the biggest sound changes are from what I’ve heard. You’ll most likely be satisfied as long as you aren’t expecting the driver side tune up to “fix” anything. It only improves what is already there.
Maybe try the E-Mu purple heart cups (or any other wood you are interested in) first to see if you like the sound of that wood.
Also does the TH-610 have any material in the cups like dampening or is that just the TH-600? If it does maybe remove that because cup dampening makes it sound more neutral.
Yeah’ the tune up should come with the cup sidev(foam and an adhesive backed cardboard piece) and the driver side (vynle like strips). The cup side will make the frequency response more neutral. I previously described the driver side changes. I would recommend trying just the driver side first and temporarily ataching the cup side with scotch tape for testing befor comiting with the rather strong included adhesive.
I didn’t keep the cup side as I felt it neutered the bass.
looking at your headphone collection i would definitely add the Fostex ebony. Its starting to look like a reference headphone to me. Also to consider the Drop Edition XX’s. I got the Arya and that large driver is so choice and their known for being warm. I felt the Ananda had too much treble and not enough midrange
While the 80ohm may be more bassy, that bass is less well controlled than the 250ohm. Also the treble is sharper and harsher for the same reason.
This does not mean that higher ohm headphones are all automatically better though. It’s just that the beyer drivers are better when they are a higher resistance.
couple of reasons. as @coconut said more controled lending to a better less peaky sound.
the higher impedance gives us a reason to use it with amps as a higher impedance headphone scales better than a lower impedance headphone generally speaking.
One reasoin I personally go towards the 250 ohm over the 80 ohm is also better most consistend model made out of the ones available the 80 ohm 770 has had some reported batch variance in the past few years
What do you think about the custom one pro plus?
Cuz I’m looking for a bassy headphone I loved dt 770 80ohm bass but not the treble. I’m considering picking up the 250 ohms but I’m also open to suggestions.
I want a fun bassy headphone for like Doom Ethernal and bassy music like hip hop.
I have CALs but hmmm they are not what I was looking for, 770s bass is just stuck in my head.
And I mostly own neutral boring stuff just got the k371 very good sounding with some types of music but really suck with games.
the pro plus’s have a similar signature just easier to drive. not as good sounding as the higher impedance beyers.maybe take a look at the mmx 300 instead
No. For some reason the Beyerdynamic headphones as a rule sound better the higher the impedance. I’m sure there are reasons why. I actually think the bass is almost the same in quantity on the 250 ohm, it just isn’t as uncontrolled and wonky. If you want something with more bass than the 770 80 ohm, you might need to look at some other headphones.
I think they have crazy bass I forgot bass boost on once on my k3 while playing zenyatta on overwatch my left ear got itchy inside because of the vibration, I’m just not a big fan of idk how to call it analitycal treble? It sound very thin and clear way to far from real like sound.
That’s the only problem that I have with them.
Oh yeah and the detachable cable but whatever.
Is there a headphone that kinda sounds like k371 but with dt 770 bass?
I don’t own the dt 770 anymore but I was thinking about getting them again probably 250 ohm this time, I had the 80.
I am looking to get a DT770 80ohm now, want a bass heavy close back under $200. Not sure what else is there for around that price. Had the X2 not a big fan. No detail in the bass and highs were siblint
