Need help buying headphones(music/movies) better than QC 35 II

umm, would prefer a portable one though… and is it gonna cost me a lot?

when u say portable one? u mean the amp or headphone?

It might be around 100 bucks USD but may be able to go lower

@M0N im willing to buy an amp then.
I am assuming 880 would be desktop and 770 would be the portable one right?

Yeah 880 would be for more home or not on the go, and the 770 could be used on a bus or loud environment as they isolate well and don’t really leak. The 880 are semi open so they don’t isolate that well and do leak some sound

How much can you get an xduoo xd05 where you are? Or a fiio btr5?

What about Sivga 006? Pretty nice.
Or maybe the Audio-Technica MSR7?

I am not the biggest fan of the sivga, but the msr7 is pretty good if you want a detail oriented brighter headphone

I thought the MSR7 might be good since they don’t want ‘too much bass’.

fiio btr5 is not available and xduoo xd0 is out of stock but a bit costly

MSR7 isnt available here

@M0N I could give dt-770 250 a try. which all dac/amps would u suggest ?

The fiio btr5 is pretty good, if you can get that I would go with it imo, would be a pretty sweet pairing with the 770

Sadly, its not available. What are the alternatives?

The fiio q1 mk2 is also a good option imo. The ifi idsd nano black label is also pretty good but a bit more expensive. The earstudio es100 is also solid

@M0N Any difference between 770 250 ohm and 770 80 ohm apart from usage of dac/amp?

The 250 ohm is more detailed, quicker sounding, more refined and less peaky, and also tighter bass, just I personally think it’s more coherent

@M0N will fiio q1 mk2 be able to drive dt770 pro 250ohm?

Yes it could, it it works pretty decently well

@M0N on my way to buy them :smiley:

Nice, hope you enjoy them :+1:

@M0N thanks! will be back for questions if incase i have any :slight_smile:
