We tried to keep out picks in the reasonably priced category. We did not cover every headphone on the market, so spare us the "what about my favorite headphones?" but do feel free to share your favorites.
Hopefully Beyerdynamic sends you the 1770's to do a full review on because if they are really as good as your initial impression makes them out to be, I might have to make the investment.
Are the Beyerdynamics DT 1770 Pro really worth it over the DT 770 Pro that are only ~150 bucks now? I mean the newer version is like 4 times the price... I bought the DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm for like 110 bucks new'ish but the right speaker is a bit broken now so I'm lucking for something similar (closed headphones)...
I'm curious about the winner as well. There was a similar contest over at Digital Trends (also powered by Gleam) with the same headphone as the prize, and it showed the entry number and name of the winner, so I assumed it would happen here too, but looks like the winner hasn't been selected/posted yet.
