Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm at >$145

[Shaqalac]

Hi LTT.

 

I've been browsing the part of the forum for quite some time and I know there's a lot of these threads and I don't want to interrupt another OP's questions with all my questions.

 

So, I need a new pair of headphones to replace my horrible Roccat Kave 5.1 and I was looking for some second hand deals and found a pair of unused DT 770 Pro. The seller listed them at $145 so I might be able to negotiate them down to $130. If I had to buy the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro from a retailer here in Denmark I would have to pay at least $220.

 

Is the DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm good enough for what I intend to use it for.

 

• I do a bit of gaming but perfect positioning is not required at all. I've gotten used to the Kave so anything would pretty much be an improvement.
• I prefer a better music experience over a gaming experience.
• I live at home right now, so there's some noise and will move to the capital soon where there's a lot more noise.

 

What music do I listen to:

• Electronic
  • Hardstyle
  • Hardcore
  • Drum and bass
  • Trance
• Rock/Metal
  • Linkin Park
  • All That Remains
  • Volbeat
  • Sienna Skies

I guess there wont be a headset that's perfect for all these genres at the same time. Again I'm coming from a crappy Roccat Kave so everything will be an improvement.

 

Anything I should consider, maybe another headset will be better for me?

 

Hope this is enough information for some of you to help me, otherwise please let me know.

 

Cheers Shaqalac.

Will my motherboard, the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, and my iPhone 4 or 5 be able to run these headphones or do I need a sound card/DAC?

Even your phone should be able to drive the 80ohm version.

Sounds good as I'm planning on using it to and from Uni, powered by my iPhone 5.

 

What do you think about the headphones, should I save some money and get a bit more expensive and better pair or is this one pretty much as good as it gets within this price range for my music choice?

Offered the seller $130, now I just have to wait for an answer, probably wont get on until tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the help!

I will say as i have the 250 ohm version that you should not have a problem with the 80 ohm on a phone. My galaxy note 2 have no problems running the 250 ohm version it's a tad bit low sound but not so low that you can't kill the ambient noise around you.

at 130$ it's a steal.

I just bought a pair of unused Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm at the staggering price on $128.

 

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

 

Cheer Shaqalac.

I just picked up the DT 770 Pro and I've been using them for the last 30min. I'm completely in love. The sound is good, comfort is stunning it can't be compared to anything I've ever tried before and definitely not the shitty Roccat Kave 5.1.

 

Thought you'd like a picture as well. Sorry for the quality, might take some better ones tomorrow.
