Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO vs Beyerdynamic DT770

The dexterity of this headphone, the clarity of this headphone, the build, the beauty, the versatility and sound in tonality is just exceptional. And ...

I was looking for something that was comfortable with no sound leakage that I could drive directly from a laptop and not need an amp. The main purpose was just to listen to speaking videos with the above requirements. However, after reading the reviews it sounded like they would be good for music as well with an amp - which I do have (Mojo). So, unless I was wanting to listen to true audiophile music, I thought maybe this would save me from having to switch back and forth between headphones when I took a break from speaking videos to listen to some music At least that Is what I had hoped

Its been quite a while, 7 months or more, since I bought these and I still feel comfortable in them. I use them with the A20 amp from Beyerdynamic. I keep the volume less than 1/4 turned 99% of the time and the quality of sound is amazing, the comfort is amazing, the amount of clutter caused by the cables from both amp and headphones is minimal. Just buy the things, your ears and head will thank you for not buying a more rigid and less comfortable pair

They are a bit muted in the sound signature which can make them less fatiguing than other, more analytical, headphones. Mids - A bit to high level for me, it tended to make punk rock music sound very close and muddied Lows - A bit boomy but very spacious Audio Technica ATH M-50x Highs - Quite good representation, a bit cold though Mids - Nothing special, no major issues though Lows - Too over-emphasized -----------------Comfort--------------- Beyerdynamic DT 770 - Winner Perfect. I wore these on multiple occasions for more than 7 hours and never noticed any pressure points or discomfort. The headband is larger than average to distribute the pressure

The circle shape put some pressure on my jaw. This design mixed with the dense balanced pads made this headphone too uncomfortable to wear for over an hour. -I wasn't sure whether to put this as a con or not since it's also a pro but in my opinion the treble is overdone. It's so strong that while gaming, firing an assault rifle sounds like it has more treble than bass which makes no sense

I'm not concerned with the way they look. They aren't displeasing to me - but I'm also not thinking these are the coolest looking phones, but I don't care about that.
