[QUOTE="nubble, post: 813756, member: 20114"] Thank you for the DT 990 photos @crashappy. they dont seem that big. whathifi doesnt give the DT 770 a great review though, saying that better cans can be found for the price. Yesterday I did some listening tests here at work with my 10 yr old closed back Senheiser HD200s. I still get some aircon noise leaking in when nothing is playing. When I play at about 15-20% max iphone volume, the aircon is drowned out by the music. Im sure its still there, I just can hear it. Then I switched to my microsoft headset. I dont know what those are but lets assume open back cause there was definately more aircon noise with no music playing. But again playing music [from pc this time] at 20% drowned out the aircon noise. With this mind, Im thinking perhaps open back would be better if audio quality is the most important factor. I seldomly listen to music under 20% volume and so the aircon noise wouldnt play much of a factor anymore. In view of this Im leaning towards the DT 990s. [/QUOTE]
