    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    It will drive them but I am not sure of how it will sound. Take this as a grain of salt, I was disappointed by the sound from the Magni 2 and Modi 2 stack, lots of power but lack of refinement, or simply just not my taste. Cheers.

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Thanks for your reply. Yeah, everything through the Sig Pro is about right to my ears, so smooth yet very detailed and balanced with the right punch, right extension, the mids/vocals are more present and refined than the 1990; and yes the bass are amazing. I compared them to the Edition 8, which...

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    One to share and one to ask :p 1. Falling back in love with my DT1990 Pro. After giving up the search of a decent mobile DAC/Amp combo that feed my 1990s well (for a sub £200 budget lol, I am not 100% convinced by the DF Red) the cans had been collecting dusts until a week ago, when I got my...

    MacBook Pro 2016

    I just got the a new MBP 15 with touch bar mid 2017 (with updated GPU and Kaby Lake processor and some other minors I am not sure, reckons the internal dac stays the same). In a nutshell, it drives my DT1990 Pro (250 Ohm) with noticeably better revealing capability than my Roland Quad Capture...

    Huge Comparison of [almost] all the Best Bluetooth Headphones - post your own comparisons here

    Yes the Momentum Wireless have always on ANC and the one he was talking about should have been the Philips M2BT (on ear, non ANC)

    I reckon there have been some confusions recently between the Philips M2BT and the Sennheiser Momentum Around Ear Wireless (M2 AEBT) :D

    Audio Technica ATH-E70, ATH-E50, ATH-E40 IEMs announced at NAMM 2016

    Can anyone compare the E70 to the Ultimate Ears UE900s? Have not found a consensus between reviews and impressions of the UEs. Cheers

    Audio-Technica ATH-DSR9BT/ATH-DSR7BT Bluetooth Headphones (With Digital Drive Technology That Replaces a Traditional DAC)

    Yes, I own a P7W, H9 and demoed DSR9BT twice, intensively, recently A/Bed the P7W and DSR9BT. Here is my conclusion: soundwise, playing from LG V20 (aptx HD for DSR9BT and aptx for P7W) DSR9BT is superior (by quite a distance) in balance, details, depth and layering, no doubts. But for the...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    Yeah actually I upgraded and haven't found any difference in the way they sound yet. However, there are several problems I have encountered: - The battery level indicator differs on my LG V20 and my iPhone 6s (the V20 shows it has more than the 6s shows). It also can change over time, half an...

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    https://youtu.be/JXpuyCIJEPg This video shows the best way to replace the earpads :D I messed up at the first time and my analytical pads were torn apart actually. Fortunately beyer UK offered me a replacement pair for free when I asked them, really friendly and kind people.

    I did do a quick comparison between AAC and AptxHD (iphone vs Lg v20) on DSR9BT notice a fairly clear upgrade in subbass and treble details at around 70% volume level. However, aac still sounds thicker than both aptx and aptxHD in my opinion, the aptxs codecs seem to be more airy though.

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    Just borrowed a pair to compare with my H9, have not tried but this seem not updated yet. Does anybody else feel the sound has been changed by the new firmware? I am emailing B&W anyway.

    B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread

    My gosh, I just wanna say this after three days with the H9, this baby is so damn nice to put on, they are so light, the lambskin is so soft, so gentle that I can leave it there for like ... a week :D Just ordered a pair of PXC 550 to compare, they sound nice and works really well with all the...

    B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread

      Yeah, really thinking about dongles, thank you for such an informative answer. The bluetooth receivers in Windows PCs mostly suck anyway.   Seems like Macs and other Apple devices always have quality components for media use, I've heard that the internal DACs of Macs are comparable to...
