Audio-Technica ATH-R70x vs Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro

All in all the DT 990's are very good cans; they just aren't for me. Still I debated for quite a while as to whether or not I would keep them. But, in the end I decided I would send them back. UPDATE: I didn't want to give up on Beyerdynamics, so the day after I returned these 990s I ordered a set of DT-880 Premiums

When positioned on my head, I almost felt like my ear was touching the inner plastic, rather than having the cups bracing them in a good listening position. Even if I did not have the Sennheisers in hand, I would have felt this was mediocre build quality -- but in contrast with the Sennheiser it is night and day. The Sennheiser 650 are fully adjustable, with plush, dense supportive ear pads that really grab your ears comfortably but firmly. The over-the-head portion has much more ample padding of dense foam

Even so, they were still comfortable. When I noticed how flat they'd gotten, I purchased HM5 Velour memory foam pads and they fit fine (after some stretching) and feel great

I have bought beats, bose, senheiser, you name it I've owned it. This is the most comfortable, best sounding, bang for your buck product I have owned. The headphones are extremely comfortable, light, and fit all heads. I prefer to hear my surroundings while working, and these headphones are in the most simplistic terms speakers that only you can hear in the room, but you can hear everyone else

What I got my eyes on: I found a very reasonable price for a Beyerdynamic DT990 pro on amazon that ships to Turkey with very low import fees (150+20$ vs 270$ or 2300 Turkish Liras local price). But I've heard that they have very sharp treble, The bass is not a problem though. I've also looked into ath m50x and ath m40x which also seem pretty good especially since the m40x is very affordable at 140$ local price vs the 170$ Beyerdynamic and 210 USD ath m50x. Budget - 150$-200$ or around 1750 Turkish Liras

As a company, if you're going to manufacture a "super light" set of quality headphones, you should expect that editors, musicians, producers or audiophiles would travel with them. And without a case or 1.5m cable, I would NOT trust the durability of these nor would I want to fumble around, with a 3 meter cable, during travel. If the rest of the industry is anything to take note from, the addition of a shorter cable or case would not have cost much extra, especially since AT saved so much on manufacturing and materials

I've had two of this same exact headset. They are very great with everything except that they are not durable at all. That's the only reason it is not a 5 star review. From constant use of putting them on and off they snap at the screws where you adjust the size
