dt770 owner here
really fucking comfy, can listen up to 8+ hours without feeling discomfort
you can replace/wash the earpads but it's a bit difficult
the dt770 80 ohm version doesn't need amp, however the 250 ohm one does need an amp, the 598 doesn't need an amp

the dt770 has somewhat of a niggerbass compared to the 598, i dunno what kinda music you're into but if you like thick bass go for them

Hey man, thanks for the reply.

About the 8 hours+ listening, that's usually how often I listen to music in the evening for, so that's good news.

This has definitely strengthened my support for the DT770s. Will be picking up the 80 Ohms because I don't have an stereo/amplifier system in my current setup, will be plugging straight into computer. The heavy bass doesn't really concern me, but if it brings out the bass in music where it's otherwise somewhat inaudible listening on any cheap headphones then I'm for it.

Do you have the 80 Ohm or 250 Ohms?

I use sony xb950bt's which are really good and extremely comfortable. longest ive worn then was about 5 or 6 hours I think and they never hurt or anything. you have to be a bass lover though, or have an eq to adjust on your device. even when I pull the bass back on the eq they still sound fantastic. also they can be used wireless or wired. So far I've had them for 8 months and they work perfectly

I don't have either of the ones that you posted OP, but if I may recommend the Philips 9500s. I bought a pair back in January after doing some research on /g/ amongst other places and have been extremely pleased with them. They're open headphones (so maybe not the best if you're going to be using them a lot in public) and super comfy - I'm pretty finicky about having stuff on my head but I can wear these for hours without issue. They were $90 CAD back then and even if they've gone up a bit they should still be relatively cheap. They're pretty neutral sounding so depending on your music, that's a pro or con I suppose.

Also I'm about to head out for a doctors appointment so if you have any follow up questions I won't be able to reply for awhile.

i've had the 80 ohm version for like 4 years or so? i wash the earpads once every year and the headphones look like new when you're done cleaning them up.
you can also replace the headband if it gets a little bit greasy or starts to crack
they're honestly one of those headphones made to last

What is the main difference between open and closed ear? I understand the Phillips are open ear - how does that differentiate from closed ear? Thanks.

>>75134043
How exactly do you wash/clean the earpads?

get you're self a nice pair of Beats, by Dre. my grandfather swallowed the lead of mine accidentally and now i listen to the soothing sound of his irregularly beating heart

>>75134111
you pull them out, soak them in warm water with detergent and gently brush the earpads. leave it in the water for half an hour or so then let them air dry for 2-3 days

>>75134161
Okay. Thanks again for all your help dude, it's nice to get feedback from a DT770 owner!

Open headphones give the impression of a bigger "soundscape". I'm not an expert, but it essentially means that the music sounds like it is played from outside the headphones, rather than sounding closer, (like you were in a closet) as with closed back.

Meant soundstage instead of soundscape.

does anyone else not feel comfortable with the beyerdynamic 770 pros? like they feel way too tight on my small head...

If your price point is lower you can get the 650's from this same line for under $100. They're Bluetooth only but with a battery that will last weeks.

Sennhesier HD 650. If you can afford these and decent amp, you'll be set for years. If these are out of your price range, you should look into difference open ear headphones. For experience, closed backs like the DT770s really muddy the sound.

Back from the doc's. And to answer your question about open vs closed, this anon >>75134191 basically summed it up. Open is more like it's "live". It's really user preference as to which is "better". If you were using them mostly to play FPS games or something then closed is probably better since you won't have any outside distraction. For music though, I think open is better. Closed is good if you want to totally disconnect from the rest of the world. A downside to closed (I can only say this based off of stuff I've read) is that they tend to be less comfortable and don't allow your ears to breathe nearly as much.

I got my Sennheiser HD 598 for a decent price off of Amazon and they're great for what I paid. They're comfy too.
