Any chance you’ve owned or heard the 770s or 1770s? If so, I’d love to read a comparison between either one and these. If not, I’d still be down to read impressions if you’re down to post them. Also, any particular reason why you held off on 177x for so long? What finally made you pull the trigger?
I do own a pair of 770s that I modded with a 4pin XLR cable.
I don’t use them much, but happy to do a comparison!
When I was picking my current headphones, my two main choices were the 177x and the E-MU Teaks, and I ended up going with the Teaks. They have been my go-to headphones since. They are probably the best headphones I’ve owned so far. But lately I’ve been wanting to try something else. The 177x seem to fit the profile, my Teaks’ headband just got f’d (I think I can fix it, but it won’t be easy), and drop has a 20% discount on the 177x, so here we are

Awesome! I’ll keep an eye out for your comparison post. As for the choice between the Teaks and the 177x, I own the Teaks as well and they are a very good pair of headphones so I can’t fault you there at all. The only reason I asked was because I find it interesting to hear the little vignettes behind decisions like these so thanks for himoring me. I hope you dig your new headphones!

Sleeve for my headphone cable. Wanted to get an aftermarket cable but I’m really happy with this cheap little mod.

I just bought that album (Giant Steps)!
My HD800S got me into classical and Jazz… Giant Steps was considered a “must listen” for noobs to Jazz like myself

I enjoy a Love Supreme and recently picked up Blue Train. Not a Huge Coltrane fan, but he has some really great stuff.

Come and See (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Amazon.com
Couldn’t find this on my streaming services, so I ordered it. Read that it’s a powerful film…
Coltrane is the reason I chose to play tenor sax instead of alto in elementary school even though it was harder to reach with little hands. I still pick up my tenor way more often than my alto when I feel like making some music, but want to take a break from drums. Gotta love the Trane!
