Guitar + headphone players - What are you using?

[CrystalSky]

The Pro X versions have completely different drivers, lower impedance, and are not the same headphones. The 990 Pro has been a studio staple for decades. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I don't know anything about the 770s but I'm guessing the X versions are different there too. I personally wouldn't consider closed back headphones for playing guitar. YMMV.

Oh, they just had a detachable cable and they say that piercing highs have been rolled off a little in Pro X. I heard 990 are especially notorious for that.

WAZA Airs. They sound fine. Worth the price? probably not but I bought them years ago.

It's a matter of personal taste I suppose but I've never heard piercing highs on my 990s, although, once I got them, I realized how much high end information was missing on my Senns.

Oh, I see. Wish I could try some and understand what’s going on.

You can. Buy them on Amazon and return them if you don't like them.

Wish I could. I live too far away for that. Shipping alone would break my budget.

I have a pair of the positive grid spark go's, for what they are they are pretty great. I don't use them much but I try to avoid using headphones unless I absolutely have to.

The mini desk monitors would be my recommendation, iLouds, Adams.. etc.. if you're in a place where you can watch a TV without bothering others you can use small monitors without bothering others.
