    Upgrade from dt250?

    The CD3k's were one of the phones I was thinking about. But I remember hearing about somebody's cans breaking, and sony refusing to help them, or something like that. Are they prone to breakage? For the one who asked, I've got a misterx built maxed pimeta amp.

    Upgrade from dt250?

    I bought the 250-80's back before I upgraded my source and amp, so now I want to upgrade the phones. I really like the sound (the emphasis on midrange and bass), but I'm looking for upgraded sound quality. Should I just go for the dt250-250's, or a different pair of beyer cans, or a some...

    The two dt250 versions

    Thanks for the input. Judging from the replies, it sounds like there is a step up in quality between the 80/250 ohm versions, so I'm gonna order the 250 and sell whichever I don't want. Unless you guys have other suggestions for headphones for those who like the beyer sound.

    The two dt250 versions

    I'm sorry to bring up the old topic of the dt250-80 vs. dt250-250, but my searching of posts has not brought up the answers I wanted. Maybe thats just because I'm not sure what to enter into the search field to get these topics. But, from the threads I did find, there was not a consensus from...

    AM Tuner

    Hey guys, I bought a SlimX350 a while back which has a FM tuner on it, which is nice, but I wanted to listen to AM radio at work. So, I went out and bought just a simple walkman portable radio from best buy, but when I brought it to work I got bad reception. So I was wondering if any of you...

    Made a mistake, need reccomendations

    Well I had a chance to listen to the few phones that my local Audio King has, and by far the best of their selection were the senn hd570's. After hearing their quality, I would love to just plunk down the cash and buy them, but they are open phones, and I want some sealed ones. It would be...

    Quote: Originally posted by ooheadsoo If you had dug a little deeper, I think you would have found much info on the sr-60 being weak in bass and the sr-80 being much stronger. goodcans.com is one site that mentions this, as well. Yes, this is indeed true. I swear I read a bunch...

    Oh right, good points both. I forgot to mention that I left them on the radio over night the past two nights, so they've got about 20 hours of time in on them. That did improve the quality a bit, but I'm still looking for something more. And as for source I've been listening on my brother's...

    Hello, I've been bumming around here for a while, but this is my first post. ( I, too, am sorry about my wallet) I've been looking to get new headphones for a while now, and so I've been hanging around reading posts here for a bit, and I swear that each time I leave more confused than when I...
