Rig - Xonar DG, supports up to 150ohm
Usage - Mostly games, some movies/series and music as well
File format - For music, mp3
Genre - Music - all types, from jazz to electronic to rap etc. Games - currently, BF3, Witcher2, MW3 soon along with Skyrim. Loads of racing games too like SHIFT and DiRT.
Type - I want big, comfortable circumaurals that won't touch my ears. Must also be closed.

Budget about S$200+. Right now my main choice and almost decided are the DT770Pro/80 which are just slightly over budget. But when I tried these on in Jaben, I liked the sound and especially the comfort.

Anyway, the main point of my questions is, for my budget, are there other headphones suitable for my needs which I should consider?

FYI, my current headphones are the SHP2700, so although I'm no audiophile, pretty much anything else is gonna sound like an upgrade lol.

havent tried srh-240, but tried the srh-840 for kicks. didn't find them as comfy as beyers and altho the srh-840 were more pricey, i found the dt770 more to my liking

a300s are open it seems, so i'll not consider those.

Ah didn't realize that. Google only seems to give me back results on the AD-300. I might check them out if I can find them at the shops.


Yes mainly games, because I don't listen to music that much at home. I've heard that the DT770 is bass heavy, but I guess I liked it when I tried it at Jaben (playing some deadmau5 and Black Kids from my Omnia 7 paired with a Hippo amp borrowed from them).

Yes I'm quite firm on the need for comfy fit.

I mainly listen to music only at work and when on the MRT/bus, and for that I'm not too fussy at the moment. Just using the IEMs that came with my phone as I like having the in-line mic and controls.
