  @d3rrick
  
  Oooow...i understand. Thanks for the clarification!
  
  I think nangyari na rin ito before, right before they made the major website redesign. Sana maayos na nila agad kung ano man inaayos nila. :3

  Bro naalala ko lang bigla..does the DT1990 Pro pique your interest? Based on Headfonia's review, it's a more balanced version of the DT1770 Pro. What made me say "no" to the DT1770 Pro as a potential HP purchase was the strident highs, perhaps because of the closed-back design.

• BlackSG5 on 28 Sep 16 @ 01:01 PM #

  @jai - Yes! Remeber that I said before that I'd like to venture into open-back headphones, I'm intent on getting these. I would like to audition them if I get the chance, but inital feedback is that it's more or less an open-back 1770, which is good.
  
  Btw, how did you find the DT770's. I would imagine you didn't like them 'coz they have more piercing treble. I guess I'm not as treble sensitive as others.

  I actually enjoyed listening to the DT770 Pro 250 ohms. Its treble isn't as piercing as the DT1770 Pro; I also liked the fact that its clamping force isn't as tight as that of the DT1770 Pro. It also sounded more or less "balanced"; I was surprised that the moment I hit the play button in my DX90+Mojo stack, I enjoyed the tonality right then and there. Plus, buying a unit is quite inexpensive (~Php8k only; if you've got a competent desktop amp, you can get a pair and call it a day). My only concern with the DT770 Pro is its long-term durability, since most of the unit is made from plastic.
  
  Last time I tested it at Jaben Jakarta, muntikan na akong mapabili. I had to talk myself out of it (I already asked the Jaben staff how to get a unit from them, since they don't have stocks in the store). That was a really close call. Hahaha :3

• Dyaems on 28 Sep 16 @ 02:26 PM #

  sir ano po ang piercing at strident?

• jaibautista on 28 Sep 16 @ 02:36 PM #

  @Dyaems
  
  Sir ibig po sabihin ng "piercing" and "strident" treble is "peaky" yung treble response, i.e., kung titingnan yung FR graph, may umbok pataas. Ang effect nito sa listener, masakit sa tenga and "fatiguing" makinig sa music, i.e., feeling mo pagod yung tenga mo only after a few minutes of listening. Another demonstration of "piercing" and "strident": subukan mong kiskisin ang two metal pipes (iniimagine ko pa lang nangingiwi na ako hahahaha). :3
  
  Sana po nakatulong. :3

• Dyaems on 28 Sep 16 @ 02:49 PM #

  mautak si bossing wala na ako mahirit yung itatanong ko nasagot na agad hahaha

• BlackSG5 on 28 Sep 16 @ 03:15 PM #

  @Jai - That's an interesting comment because the first thing I noticed when I tested the DT1770 was that the treble was a bit tamed compared to the DT770. I actually have 2 DT770's, a 32 ohm (2year old) and 250ohm (1.5 years old) and I can say they are robust and parts can be ordered and replaced easily. They are very comfortable especially with velour pads and I can wear them for hours even when not listening to music and just to suppress background noise.

  @Dyaems
  
  Hahahahaha :3
  
  
  @BlackSG5
  
  Thanks for sharing your insights! Yes, to my ears the DT770 Pro 250 ohm's treble is tamer than that of the DT1770 Pro. That said...I like the details, dynamic range, and soundstage better with the DT1770 Pro. Yung treble lang talaga yung dealbreaker. since when I listen to music via HPs, kulang ang 3 hours; when I auditioned the DT1770 Pro the last time, I already raised the white flag 15 minutes into the listening session since medyo fatiguing yung treble.
  
  Gustuhin ko mang bumili ng DT1990 Pro...quota na ako this year, especially that nagbalik loob ako sa isa kong hobby (road biking). If bibili man ako ng isa pang headgear, most likely it has to be relatively cheap and the DT770 Pro 250 Ohms certainly fits the bill. That said...gusto ko rin sanang bumili ng Bose QC35 for use when flying since napabilib ako sobra ng noise cancellation performance nun (nakakapangilabot, sa totoo lang; you have to test it to believe it!). And gusto ko ring bumili ng isang Tumi messenger bag, kahit yung ballistic nylon "lang"; nag-aantay ako actually may mag-sale dito sa Jakarta (sorry admins medyo OT hahahaha :3).
  
  Libre naman mangarap di ba? Hahahaha :3
  
  Thanks uli bro for sharing your insights! If ever makabili ako ng DT770 dito, I'll post my detailed impressions and review here. Kulang ko na lang sa collection is a closed-back HP. :3

• BlackSG5 on 28 Sep 16 @ 03:52 PM #

  @Jai - The Bose would certainly be better for portable use. I tried using the 770 32ohm as portable for flying din but it's just so bulky.

  Guys, can you share some pics of your current setup. Medyo ilang pages narin simula nung mga last photos of gears. Sorry, pasingit lang ng topic. Thanks!

• d3rrlck on 29 Sep 16 @ 02:21 AM #

  Same same from last year :D
  I've been quiet in this thread for a quite a while, and wallet found peace lol
  
  

• vladz17 on 29 Sep 16 @ 09:16 AM #

  Mga sir nagpapabili kasi ng X2 yung pinsan ko and tamang tama maisasabay ko sa package na ipadadala ko sa pinas. Ubos kasi sa amazon ang mga x2 so ebay nagkalat meron akong nakita 229$ lang maganda naman rating nya.
  
  Question: may fake bang X2? Medyo katakot kasi pag sa ebay bibili eh. Pero gaya ng sabi ko maganda rating nung nakita kong seller....

• WickedTrap on 29 Sep 16 @ 10:33 AM #

  papm din po ako regarding sa schiit products (schiit modi / magni). naghahanap din kasi ako locally

• officeboy20 on 29 Sep 16 @ 11:07 AM #

  @adrianbochog
  
  Seryoso, nakakakuryente sir? Wag mo na gamitin yan sir, baka ikamatay mo pa. Bili na lang po ng bago.

• adrianbochog on 29 Sep 16 @ 11:11 AM #

  @officeboy20
  
  Yung weird, kapag tumatayo ako sa upuan tsaka lang ako nagground and nangyayari lang rin siya sa office. Im not really sure kung dahil sa monitor. May popping sound rin siya kapag nagground ako.

  sira ba yung earphones kapag nakakakuryente siya sa tenga?

  
  
  Ganyan yung nakita ko sa facebook not sure nga lang kung totoo yon kasi naka HP sya habang nag cocomputer(gamer ata) tapos nagsimula ata yung kuryente sa computer pumunta sa headphones kaya buong katawan nya at mukha sunog at dead sya.
  
  Pero marami nagsasabi gawa gawa lang pero kung totoo yon katakot din kasi 100% mapa games,movies or music naka headphones ako sa computer ko :-/
  
  Kung totoo yon mas ok pa ata wireless HP :-)

  Paps first time ko rin nakarinig ng case na may na-g-ground sa paggamit ng headphones/earphones. Although I had previous experiences na may konting "ground" pag hinawakan ko yung portion ng cable na may ear hook (I think that's because of static), never pa akong naka-experience na nakukuryente/feeling nakukuryente ako while using headphones/earphones.
  
  Your best bet would have your gears checked to a competent electrician. Kung mura yung gamit mong earphone...better palitan mo na lang yan.
  
  Ang earphones pwedeng pag-ipunan at bilhin, ang buhay hindi. :3
