I felt like Cyber just wanted phones where he can't hear anything from the outside world so he can just forget about everything, thus I suggested the DT770 as it offers better isolation than the DT880

If isolation is the goal, why not take a gander at IEMs? ER4p, perhaps?

True point Niko. I was simply adding that the 880's would better serve for music than the 770's and its proficiency for gaming. Closed cans (or iem's, nice suggestion Chipp) would be excellent for CD, no doubt about that.

Not to derail CD and his decision, but I was wondering - how do AKG K271's compare against Beyer DT770's?

My first "real" headphones were a pair of HardshellKoss back in 1977...I think they came from Radio Shack? After that I had some hardshell Sony phones I inherited from my brother..all I remember is they made my ears sweat. They I got the new gen of Koss with the foam "donuts" for earpads...which I loved..they were deafening

Then I got into the ultralight Sennheiser phones when the Walkman was first released. I had a WalkPro from HongKong that my Dad brought back from a trip...20-20K hz zero wow and flutter .000something THD on metal tape. This was when the Walkman just came out..I've always liked "pro" audio gear.

I spent quite a few years in headphones while riding the train to school...

But after I got a Denon and some Klipsch I only wore headpjhones when laying tracks.

But I think it's time again. Got the TV in the living room the Movie in the media room the radio in the bay's room...the pumps and fans and then there's the Wife and Kids...lol

Headphones!

In my opinion, the DT770's are better for gaming where the K271's are better for music.

But which form factor Cyber?

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was expecting, but I thought that perhaps the Beyers at least were equal with the AKG's in music (and better in gaming of course). They are $60-70 more :/.

Lmk what you think of them Heru . More than likely they will end up being my next pair as well.
