I used this amp mainly with a pair of HD 650 and it does what it is supposed to do: it has way more power than I need, it's quiet and it makes everything sound in its place. I have never heard...
I bought these headphones just for the fun of it, to see how they sound with all that apparently amazing bass.
Well, for $50, they're ok sounding for extra bass headphones. They do have a...
Bought it some time ago, based on user reviews. Straight out of the box it seemed huge, especially compared to my old Cowon D2. Also, sound was awful. Granted, I don't have large hi-fi cans, only...

Introduction
I’m a basshead. I say that loudly and proudly, even though some folks believe basshead and audiophile are mutually exclusive. Obviously, I’m not in that camp. But sometimes, I...
Sorry I have been so late responding, I have been very busy. Love the 880s for every genre of electronic music I have heard. When I first researched the 880s I came across several experienced posters who felt the 880s were tops for electronica and I can't disagree. The only down side is power (if you go 600ohm model). They aren't efficient 96 or 91db I think so you need some juice. I have an E11 and it can't power them at all, however if your speaking about say the 80ohm version I use a DT770 80ohms with my E11 and they are very well powered. The 880s are brilliant and without a doubt are killer for electronica. The 880s have a fast, and realistic feel for most everything, plenty of detail without being so very revealing meaning I don't find them analytical. I have no problem recommending them to anybody. If you do go that route I would love to hear your impressions. I know at a meet early this year I brought my rig and a head-fier there was so impressed that he bought a set within a few days for his Bottlehead Crack with Speedball. Cheers.
Nice, well I got the 250 Ohm version AND I do NOT have an E11 I have a cMoy 2x9V BB so it's got a bit more power than the E11 I think, that's awesome to hear that it can handle eletronic ^^ The big Sub bass from the cMoy should be nice, although I hear that the mids are Slighty recessesed, but I'm sure as you've said they should do fine~
Still that cMoy BB should really make em sing! Seeing as I got the BIGGEST one the sell!
They totally killed it on this track. Excellence. They will be in AUSTIN with Benny Benassi on Wednesday Oct 17th at Emo's East, Travis. You should go!
Krewella can draw a very strange crowd. It's on my list of possible shows to go see but I've asked off for so many days recently that it might not be possible.
Quite a few good shows hitting Emos soon. Grimes, Krewella & Benassi, Crystal Castles & Health, Sphongle, Zedd & 12th Planet...
Wow. Even Nightwish & Kamelot.

By far my favorite dubstep/DnB/electronic genre song (I guess its DnB technically) And I guess it's kind of un known. I can't find decent quality downloads for any of his other stuff if anyone has links it would be great!

I have really wide taste in music but had a few years of being totally obsessed by Dn'B in its golden period (I was doing quite a bit of amateur DnB production then too): huge fan of Teebee, Matrix, Photek and Klute, most classic RAM, Virus, Hospital etc...late 90s-ish.
I know America was a little late in discovering Dn'B so is anyone else here still listening to this period, or am I alone?? (I actually searched the thread for "Optical" and only had hits for "optical or coax")
old school drum and bass? you mean like andy c and black sun empire?

That's good to hear! How does the cMoy do with Mid bass? I have some Black Sun Empire songs but since my cans LACK MID BASS, it's not as enjoyble as I'd like... I'm hoping the dt 880 will fix that >.>
Not normally a fan of Doctor P, but this remix blew it up. ******* love Example.
10 MILLION views on a C&K remix. Not one of my favorites, but that's impressive.
is it just me who cant listen to the youtube videos? if i click on the video it tells me "this video is unavailable" and if i click on the "watch it on youtube" button it just takes me to youtube without the video...

i dont know XD the headphones wont be here for still a couple more weeks... because of tax issues, ordering things over 75 dollars from the internet would cost me a fortune in taxes so im waiting for a friend whos in the US to come back together with my headphones... been waiting fro quite a while actually.
i understand that the 770s arent that good for bass, wich is upsetting because i originally decided on getting them because i thought that they WERE. however, this should be easily correctable with some equalization. wich just leaves getting an equalizer and learning how to use it >_<
theres a couple of posts on head-fi about this but i havnt payed them much attention yet because i want to get the cans first before i start messing about - kinda like its rude to add salt to your food before youv tasted it. if you catch my drift...
