Just trying to understand what my options are from wired to wireless ones which give amazing sound quality for music purposes on PC/mobile devices.
In some of the topics in this forum, i saw beyer 880 being suggested. How do they go against the above mentioned sony one?
The DT880âs are open so you canât take them portable also need a dac/amp
For wireless the sonys are slightly better than the bose to my ears but for amazing sound quality I think wired is the way to go
The Sonyâs are wired tho
My bad I meant the wireless sonys⌠the mh1000xm3
Bluetooth objectively just tends to sound worse unfortunately. With the tech inside them they have to have some sort of drawback. But since you have a decent portable can with the QC 35. with your $400 you can get a nice at home no compromise setup as well
The 880 beyers sound better . But they are open back and hard to drive which requires an amp
I think he plans to return the Bose
I really wouldnât recommend the 880 portable, but the 770 80 ohm might make more sense in this regard
Also something else I would recommend is the B&O H6 if you can get it
I am so confused. i donât know what to do lol
Letâs just say, i am not worried about portability, then which music headphones would you guys recommend?
Dt880âs are semi open and will leak sound somewhat whereas the dt770âs are closed and therefore wont leak sound. I have the qc35 IIâs and also dt770âs and can say youâll hear a big upgrade in quality moving to the dt770. The only issue I foresee using it portable would be the cable which is 10ft ish long and is non detachable.
@M0N @donjklassen @RiceGuru @Spech will i be needing something along with DT 770 pro 80 ohms?
how are other versions of beyers compared to DT 770?
FYI - i have already placed an order for DT 770 pro 80 ohms lol
So the 80 ohm can run just fine with no amp, you should be good. The 250 ohm is more refined and I prefer it more, but I would suggest an amp with that one. I wouldnât suggest the 32 ohm
@M0N do you suggest i stick with dt770 or look into other versions of beyer?
should i halt the dt770 80 ohm one?
I am more into rock/soft-rock kind of music and abit of movie watching at home ⌠the devices i would be using are PC and mobile
Well I would say that depends on if you want closed or not, and again if you plan to get a portable dac/amp
@M0N I am open to any of them. if you could just mention, which ones are good under opened and closed with or without dac/amp. that would be great.
FYI - drop isnt available in india so wont be able to buy any of the X versions of any brand
So personally my favorite Beyerâs are the 880 600 ohm, but it is pretty hard to drive so you would want to get something like a schiit heresy or xduoo xd05+ or k5 pro, etc if you were to consider it.
The 880 250 ohm is also good and needs a less beefy amp but I would highly recommend one, like the fiio btr5 or a smaller portable amp
If you want something that isolates the 770 250 ohm and again a small amp would do them justice imo
The 770 80 ohm can be comfortably run off of a phone or PC with no amp
The 880 600 and 250 ohm are neutral bright signatures and are detailed, open, balanced, and have very good imaging and soundstage.
The 770 250 and 80 ohm are more v shaped with boosted bass and treble with more of a dipped mid-range, but they are also warmer. They still have pretty good soundstage and imaging for a closed back though, but if you can go open I prefer the 880 600 or 250 ohm unless you really like subbass, then the 770 250 ohm is good for subbass
880 250ohm and 770 250ohm are available to me.
I donât prefer too much bass cos they hurt my ears a lot. I have cancelled the order i made for 770 80ohm one.
So, with 2 above choices. help me out which would suit 
Its too darn hard for me to choose one. sorry.
Well, again, are you willing to buy an amp? And would it be a desktop or portable one? Thatâs really going to come down to your situation
