Thanks for the info, also I have no plans to ever resell these. I already modded them so much with new aluminum swivels and yokes, new cups, ear pads, headband, etc. I am sorta trying to make these into a forever headphone, the only thing I really have left to do is to balance them lol

Reply to Are $1000 headphones a waste if my music library doesn’t have much in terms of high-fidelity music? by HaroRicky

Unpopular opinion: if that's the type of music you listen to, dont bother upgrading headphones or higher quality music past 320kbps.

I love edm, rap, chill hop, rnb, etc. But the only music that shines with good headphones is remastered tracks that are either rock, classical, jazz, folk, country, etc. I feel like in order to hear good imaging, soundstage, and instrumental separation are when actual instruments are being played. When I listen music with electronically made beats (even if its remastered like daft punk) I barely (I mean barley) hear any difference no matter the setup.

Reply to comment by saltyboi6704 in Best closed back headphones in your opinion? by iMagZz

Comfortable, reliable, cheap spare parts (after 3.5 years or about 2000 of hours usage, I need only to change headband which costs about 10 euros) -

​

all these features makes DT770 Pros 80ohm (with velour pads) my recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy music and not having headaches with reliability or "clamped" head like m40 (they sounded good but worse than DT770 Pro and they wasn't comfortable for more than an hour of listening) and don't let me start with their plastics and headband quality....

​

IEM Shure SE215 , closed back DT770Pro 80 ohm and Earfun Air Pro 2 are perfect trio which I'm going to use until they are dead.

Got B stock in the A2A sale on the Clears as well. So nice, except those cables but have replacements. I have found the headband had a horrible sore spot on the top of my head though, even after manipulating it. Ended up buy the ZMF Cresent Snap headband cover and now its heaven.
