Beyerdynamic DT770 Questions

Made In Canada · April 7, 2016

Just going to ask the questions.

1. How is the headset?

2. Is it worth the price at $250 CDN? (i dont expect you to know for Canadian Dollar, but i am putting it there just in case).

3. Is 250 OHMS okay?

4. Will it be okay to use for long hours? (anywhere from just putting them on and up to 24 hours and up).

All down to personal preference. I like them a lot.
That again depends on your personal preference. I would say yes, but they regularly go up on Massdrop, so it might be cheaper to buy them through them.
Whichever is the cheapest. Edit: Yes, the 250Ω version will be just fine.
That depends on the person. I find the entire DT-line to really comfortable, but some people find the clamping force on the Pro DT-series to be a little to strong.
The DT880s are semi open (or semi closed depending on how you look at things). I would say that they lean more to the open side than the closed side. If you want closed you could look at the DT770.

Edit: Well, eventhough you changed the question my points still stands

1. Quite a lot of bass, I like the sound quality. I deliberately went for the closed instead of the others to be more isolated.

2. Sorry, I don't speak CDN

3. My motherboard is supposed to have an amp but either due to a driver or windows 10 I can't get the volume as high as I would like. (I could when I was running windows 8.1) My HTC One M8 can drive them quite nicely too but not very loudly as well (less than the pc and I would like to get a portable amp at some point). They are supposed to have better sound quality than the 80 Ohm for some reason (and are cheaper than all of the other versions in my country).

4. Clamping force is STRONG. At first, I used to get headaches after a couple of hours. I got somewhat used to it. Your head does get kind of warm where it comes in contact with the fabric, especially in the summer (30C plus here).

The fact that they are closed headphones (and so I can't hear what is happening around me in the house) in conjuction with the strong clamping force have led me to not using them that much. When I use them however, I love them.
