I hope you get more opinions, but I personally would say get the 770's. In fact just now I tried listening to my M50's again and my first thought was, why did I think these sounded so good? That's not to knock them or anything but going between the two the 770's gave a much better representation. If you like a lot of mid bass that is colored and a darker sound signature go for the M50x's, but the 770's sound much better imo. THIS I was blown away with, because the soundstage is crud on the M50's. But the treble is also good because it adds a crispness and airiness that lets all the sound breathe. One way to put that, the headphones are doing their job, and are revealing. I found it kind of annoying out of the box honestly but it's settled down quite a bit after a month and it tends to only be a minor problem on bright recordings. Tracks that have a little bit of sibilance will have more on the 770's, but again, I PERSONALLY don't think it's THAT BAD, but it is noticeable, so if brighter treble/sibilance bothers you proceed with caution. My only complaint with the sound signature is that, while the treble is clear and detailed, it can get a bit peaky, especially in the sibilance region. The mids, people say they are recessed, and I think they are just slightly, maybe a little thin and hollow, but not enough to be a deal breaker. Supposedly the 80 ohm version has even more bass but I find the 32 ohm to have enough. Try a track with really good sub bass and you will be amazed. The bass is strong on songs recorded that way, which is how it should be. I, like you, am a fan of bass but I'm not a bass head and I prefer bass to sound more accurate than all over the place and muddying up them mids, and the 770 32 ohm is great for that. As an owner of both, the 770's are MUCH better than the M50's. Anyway, I went with the DT 770's to replace them because they looked comfortable as hell and are highly praised. I had the M50x's for about 3 years but over time the clamp weakened and they became really uncomfortable, almost unbearable for long sessions because of the way they sat against my ears. I don't really care much about the amp, i just want it to give a nice sound to pair with the headphones.Funny you this question should pop up as I was in the same boat a month ago, sort of. What amp would you suggest? someone on a different site suggested to me that the Schiit Magni is a solid choice. Im excited to get my hands on the headphones. Okay wow you guys have been really helpful haha. The 250 Ohm version has a higher damping factor resulting in tighter control of high frequency sound. what's the difference between the 32 and 250 ohm version though? Is it simply just a volume difference? Just remember that unless you actually have a bunch of high quality audio files to listen to, you probably won't be able to hear much difference between the onboard and a dedicated amp when it comes to just gaming or lower quality music streams/videos. Either way, it's not like higher impedance headphones won't work with lower powered outputs, they'll usually just won't get as loud. You might want to email MSI to see if they'll tell you what's supported. The board manual also doesn't specify the max output impedance, so I can't say for sure. This is the only thing I can find amidst the marketing on the product page.
