In case nobody has mentioned this one: The Beyerdynamic DT770M, not the DT7=
70 Pro, but the one with an M in the name. It is a lot more 'closed' than t=
he DT 770 Pro and sounds very 'dry' and 'direct', as opposed to the 'fat' a=
nd 'sweet' Hifi-sound of the DT 770 Pro. I love it, it's great for any situ=
ation where you record something and need to judge the recording as isolate=
d as possible.
greets,
