Hi,    This is my first thread on this forum, so please be gentle :)    I'm quite new in headphones and after couple tries I've settled to Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm - it's just perfect mix for me with SQ, comfort and price. Now I'm looking for a decent amp to drive it. The only one...

I'm looking for a neutral sounding amp for some music tracking and mixing.  I am aware of the issues with using headphones for this purpose, but sadly, I live in an apartment with thin walls and really don't have the luxury of using studio monitors right now.   Please correct me if I'm...

I got my dt 880s today and tested them out on my PS3 and PSP. ( i hooked them up to my fiio e9k/e17 )   Now what i found is that:   - Playing PS3 games the Sound was ok. - Playing PSX games with the ps3, the Sound was very good. - Playing PSP, the Sound was very good.   Now i...

I got into a discussion with someone about 701's vs 880 and was talking about how much forward the 701's bass is in comparison. Long story short they disagreed so I went and pulled the frequency graphs and sure enough my observations were true, but only comparing 250ohm 880 (what I own) to Q701...

I am just wondering how will $500 iems such as the westone 4, um3x or se535 would compare with the similar priced headphones like the hd650/600, he400, or denon d5000? would iems sound better or worse? i know they are totally different but as of right now, i am very confused on what should i...

I have recently bought Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium 600ohm to use for a wide range of things, from videogames to listen to IPod. I already had AKG Q701 and they are perfect except the volume matter, and the Beyers are even worse. I don't want to give some large bucks for the amp or a DAC device if...

Hello,   A friend will sell me soon his "new" BeyerDynamic DT880 600Ohm. Unlike him im not often at home for the moment so i need a portable amp. I know this headphone need some power to be driven properly and  I do not really know which one to take... Source : Mobile / Audio-Flac player/...

Hey everyone im new to the world of audiophiles (but i am REALLY into it) and i need some help. For christmas i am getting the Audio Technica ATH M50's, FiiO E7 portable headphone amplifier, and the FiiO L9 line out cable. I also plan to buy the FiiO E9, as it my FiiO E7 will dock with it and...

I am looking for an amp/DAC and I have a budget of about, hmm. Lets just say.. $1000 would be a very nice budget, but I can definately go over, if worth it. At $1000 we have some good choices, like the WA7 and Lyr/Bifrost. But hey, go over by all means.    I'm looking for a amp/DAC that will...

 Hey everyone. I was purchasing some new computer hardware, and came across word that an amplifier plus a dac provides really good sound quality for headphones. I am currently just using a claro halo to power my BeyerDynamic DT 880's 600ohm, and was wondering if i would benefit from getting an...

Title speaks for itself...I'm wondering how best to spend approximnately $200 for a set of full-seize Cans.   I am buying these primarily to listen to classical music run from an Oppo BD93 through an Anthem AV30 headphone outlet.  I believe the Anthem has a 100mW headphone drive circuit.  ...

I've had my Sennheiser HD 580's for years and years now. They're great, but I'm a bass head and I want some more bass. I wear these things all the time, so I need whatever I get to be just as comfortable.   Right now I run them off a Creek OBH-11 amp.   I use them for: 70% gaming, 20%...

I see a lot of good things about dt880s the 250 and 600 ohm. would it be a significant upgrade to buy a used dt880 over shure 840 I already own. I have an e10 amp

Hey guys. I'm planning on getting both of these headphones and choose the one that I prefer the best, but I need a good capable amp that compliments the two well enough.  At the moment I am looking to get a Schiit...

 I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones on a budget of 300 dollars. I listen to a lot of dubstep and really any other music with a strong bass line, but at the same time I listen to a lot of classical music and classic rock. So I don't want a headphone with over powering bass. I'm...

The recent 50+ flagship review inspired me to finally check out the DT 880, in the past I owned a pair of HD 650's and liked them but ended up having to part with them, I for the time being needed something decent to tide me over so I ended up getting some ATH-AD700's, I absolutely hate the...

as the title says im finally looking to upgrade my m50's with something in the 3-400 dollar range.  i use a yulong u100 as my dac/amp. from the little reading that i did im more or less choosing between HD 600 or DT 880 (600ohm) although more recomendations are always welcome, shopping for all...

Do any one know what is different between DT880 por 600ohm and premium 600 ohm? or is it same headphone Thanks

Hey guys, I currently use my ASUS Essence STX for both DAC and amp to listen to my music, but I've always been interested in getting a tube amp. Recently I've seen the Bravo Ocean on sale for under $100 and I'm interested in getting it as my first budget tube amp. I currently have a pair of...

I've been spending (way too many) hours going through the forum to identify the best full-size headphones for classical music...while staying under the $200 price point.   The Beyer 880's are high on the list...but there is a discrepancy I'd like to understand.  The Premium sells for almost...

I'm currently deciding between these three headphones for mainly rock and metal. A lot of people have said the T5p and the T70p sound awful for rock and metal due to the lack of bass, but I plan on EQing the bass with either an iphone or a fiio E17 amp. It seems like both beyers have an...

Hey all, new to the forums and high-end headphones.  I recently upgraded to my current audio setup in August and September.  Did a lot of reading on here before I decided on the A1 for my amp.  The Beyers were pretty much decided on from the start, just read so many good things about them.  I've...

After months of thinking about buying new things and then realizing it might not be worth it (I guess most people here have feeling that way sometimes). I've decided it's time to upgrade my current audio equipment.   This time I only need headphones. I plan on upgrading both DAC and amp at...
