The video aesthetic is amazing. I dont know if the slightly grainy video and lower quality voice recording was intentional but along with the music it feels like it came out of the 80s
Best closed headphones I have had so far. Getting new piece after about 11 years of daily use with no issues at all (PC gaming and music mixing). Super comfy and soud just fine for home use. N1 go to for me.
@@fidot1000 I am afraid I can´t compare to others. I play fps with them and have no issues - the sound is good. My friend has got directional sound headphones and he definitely "hears" location of the enemy better.
FYI; you definetly don't need an amp for the 80 Ohms version. I've had those for more than 10 years and used them in phones, laptops, Roland drums, recording interfaces, guitar pedalboards, planes, etc... I usually turn on the volume at 60% and that's good enough for me.
Thank you, brother. So, if I purchase the 80 Ohms version and plug it in directly to the Akai MPC One, I should be fine and not need to purchase an amp or audio interface? Thank you kindly. Blessings!
if you are a sound engineer or do alot of audio mixing, then 250 ohm is the way to go. I got the 80 ohm and was slightly disappointed, because when i was trying to mix my kick drums the low end would not be accurate to the actual sound. Just something to keep in mind.
@@nope7389 probably none. Go for something with lots of bass and very clear highs. Most berydynamic headphones are not super enjoyable for listening, because the all the frequencies are very balanced hence the reason they are good for mixing. Its not impossible to play games on mixing headphones but the experience won’t be as enjoyable.
At work, I have 250ohm and 80ohm versions and I can plug both to PC without interface and get the same volume. Also, Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen has the same volume for both headphones. Don't stress about ohms if you are on PC, for mobile battery sake you would want to go with the 80s. I have been using many headphones and fail to see the claimed problems with different ohm headphones and need for amp. At home, I have Audio Technica m50 and Sennheiser HD-600... no problems with volume (interface/PC/laptop/mobile).
you seem like you would know, so i have the senhessier gsp 600 and im currently using the SENNHEISER GSX 1200 PRO Gaming Audio Amplifier, do you think that amplifer would be ok with the 250 ohm version of these headphones for would i have to buy a new amp
Great and clear explanation. Very useful to everyone. God bless. I am using DT. 80 oms, Focusrits sound card with headphone amp for programming and mixing. Without headphones amp it's not fullfil my listening.
Why is 250 Ohm better for critical listening? What can higher impedance do or quality provide that lower impedance cant? Like what is the quality difference do you hear in the 250 vs 80 ohm?? All three headphones are the same price currently on Amazon in the US right now. But higher ohm doesn't necessarily mean better...?
what i have heard is this. often high end audio gear have parts that take lot of Voltage and in those situation the headphone with low impedence like 32 ohm often hear distortion or might even get permenantly damaged. high impedence can handle more V which comes with some high end studio equipments. so if you do end up using 250 ohm, you require something good to drive it so it ends up sounding better also without distortion.
Higher impedance headphones require more voltage. This is a good thing when you're mixing because the sound will have more "headroom" as they call it. It basically means that the signal won't compress easily and introduce fuzz / distortion when it's not supposed to. This "flatter" response means that the sound you're hearing is more neutral, which is great for mixing, because you want to mix from a neutral standpoint, not a standpoint from which the sound is already "colored" (too much/little bass/highs/mids).
I drive the DT770 Pro 80 Ohms straight from my motherboard "asus Croshair VIII formulla" and i don't even have it at max volume {around 40%} with the Audio boost {realtek console} at performance modus. [lowest] I can still boost it much further. My motherboard would even support the 250Ohm version, but i did not buy it as the cable is a spiral one wich is Annoying to work with on a desk
Great breakdown. Definitely sounds like the 80ohms are the ones for me, just wish they had a coiled cable option. You can buy that separately but have to use souldering to attach it. Not my area of expertise...
Nobody, I mean NOBODY ever provided the viewers with coherent explanation with graphs how much better audio experience is when using 250 ohm rather than 32 ohm headphones. They're supposed to handle high and low frequencies but that's all that you'll ever learn by watching videos of TH-camrs who attempt at comparing these.
Hey thanks for the informative video! I have the 21 ohm version that I’ve used for several years. I just bought a UA Apollo interface and need a replacement for my damaged AKG headphones. I’d probably get the 250 ohm version, if I wasn’t born with moderate hearing loss. So for me, the 80 ohm model it’ll be. Thanks again!
I think people assume that if you use the 250 ohms that you need an interface, you can use them without one it’s just not going to sound as good but will still work.
Yes, that's because the host says that I order to "power up" the 250 ohm's one needs an amplifier. Is your point that one can still use the 250s's to use on an ipad/mobile phone? Thank you.
@@irmasanchez5274 , neither a phone nor an iPad can get enough out of the 250 for it to be worth the price. You would absolutely need an amplifier capable of driving them. Otherwise, you might as well be using something much cheaper.
Simple like this, based on what i have: 770pro 250ohm powered from STX II - set amplifier for 600omh and your in :) What to do with native 600 ohm with STX II - to low.
TL;DR, more ohms = less interference & less volume. The more power a headphone requires, the more it scales down low power interference. More ohms also means a wider voltage range your amp gets to play with. But a lot of cheap amps themselves will start to distort after a certain volume (voltage gain). I would say just find an impedance where comfortable all day listening is 50% volume, and you’ll get the best of both worlds with some headroom to turn it up once in a while.
i used 50ohm headphones for my PC almost my entire life but i ordered a 250ohm + audio amplifier to see if there is really a noticeable difference in sound quality
currently using the dt 770 pro 80 ohms and dt 990 pro 250 ohms and for my pc i dont need an amp at all, it's not only loud enough, it is LOUD. you do not need an amp for 250 ohms if you are using it for pc (although if you want your headphones to blow your eardrums off you can get an amp), 80 ohms is good for for pc and it works on mobile devices without an amp but i feel like there's a slight decrease in quality on mobile.
Hey Folks! I'm thinking between 80 and 250, I'm wondering if a Tascam US 2X2 type sound card or similar cards for home recording could drive 250 Ohm. I am also interested in having a Kenwood receiver, I think it can handle 250 Ohm. Thanks in advance for the answers

It's not leather on the ear pads, it's called leatherette but it's nothing more than plastic vinyl covering and depending on the quality of it will depend on how long it will last before it starts peeling off. It could be six months to 18 months but it will definitely start peeling off.
