I used a Razor Electra for years, good lord that was a terrible headphone.

New to the hobby myself, never used the DT 770 but I was considering a pair up until recently. Should be a big step up in quality, hear almost universal praise for it.

Volume wise, it's not that the headphones are loud or quiet. It's that your source can only make them sound so loud given the signal strength it can produce.

Some sort of headphone amp would get you more volume, might improve the sound in general if your current source is on the underpowered side.

As to the lack of punch you mentioned, there's a whole world of equalizing to explore to customize the sound profile of your headphones. Bit over my head at my current knowledge level though.

Yeah Razer isn't very good so I hope you like your upgrade!

I might need an amp for sure, but I might also just get used to it. I am getting more and more used to this pair and how it sounds

I did auto-eq them actually and I think I got a good amount of punch that doesn't ruin everything else, just like I praised the fusions for.

All in all I'm happy with the purchase and I think I might get the 990's too just to see what all the hype about opens is about.

I tried auto-eq and ngl I think it sucks, but that obviously just means I didn't like whatever target they were going for. I recommend trying the oratory1990 eq, that way you can even play with the bass if you don't find it enough using equaliser apo and peace.
