Just got 880s today and notice that there's a tad bit too mcuh treble for my taste.  also, i am using audinst as dac/amp.  is there an amp that i could pair nicely with 880 to give bass a little boost?  I am still planning to use audinst as a dac.  thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,   I've been reading this forum for years, and it has been tremendously helpful.  I decided to take a leap of faith and enter the audiophile world. I've just ordered a DT 880 600Ω as well as a LD MKIV SE. This should keep me busy for a while. I'm still missing a DAC, but...

Hello, I'm new to this forum so hello :) I recently bought a pair of beyerdynamic DT880s (32ohm).  Today I snipped the cable and put a Neutrik connector on them because the cable was way too long for portable use.  Whilst doing this, I noticed that the wiring inside the admirably thick...

After about 2 years and tons of research I have the setup I've always wanted. Asus Xonar Essence ST --> Blue Jeans LC-1 ---> Little Dot MK III ---> Beyerdynamic DT 880 (600 ohm)     Even though I am passionate about music I really bought this equipment for FPS gaming on my PC. Now that...

Hi,   just wondering if, from your experience, the jack from an integrated amp with 220ohm output impedance would drive these fine.   Thanks

Hello,   I'm currently set on buying a pair of DT-880 600Ω, but would like to hear if anyone has suggestions for alternatives. I was looking at Ultrasone Pro 900s and K702s, but came to the conclusion that K702 doesn't fit my liking for electronic music. The Pro 900s seems great for...

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene.  I'm looking to get my first pair of nice headphones! I've been searching around for quite a while now, and after testing out some DT880 250 ohms, I found their comfort combined with their excellent sound to be just what I think I'm looking...

  Hi all, After years of using only in ear headphones, I am decided to try a full size open ones. I have been pretty much a Shure guy (e3, e500, 535) and I have owned also some sennheiser ones, but always in ear. I need some help choosing full size open cans, because I've never tested...

I have soldering experience but never trimmed a cable before, was just curious what i would need to know.  How do i tell which wire is audio left and right?  What about the ground wire, are the ground wires on the dt880 grounded at the plug end, or the headphone can end? ( Does it need to be...

So I came across an add one Craigslist of a brand new pair of DT 880s for $250. I've been wanting to try a pair of Beyers, and I'm pretty sure they're legit. I just want to know what year/model they are. They are not the newest ones, I know that much. They have a flat grill rather than a rounded...

now before the influx of GET GRADOS I recently sold off my 80i's in hopes of getting some vintage RS-2. That quickly went out the window and I have herd pretty polarizing things about the rs-2i and rs-1i; not to mention I HATE the sibilance of the 80i's and 325is. Some say that the rs-x series...

I currently run a Xonar Essence STX with some dt880/600's via the headphone out.  I feel the upgrade itch and am ready to make my next move.     I have been drooling over a Woo Audio 3 for quite some time, and am considering it.    However, I realized I have yet to dink around with the...

So my replacement ear pads came in today. They came with 2 pieces of replacement black foam that goes under the ear pads, along with instructions on how to replace it. Except they are very basic and the pictures don't help very much at all. I can't figure out how to get the "ring" thats locking...

Hey Everyone,   This is my first post or blog or anything ever so I hope this works. I'm looking to buy a new set of headphones. It's kind of become my hobby lately. The only good pair I own is a pair of Shure SRH840's and a Udac2. I really like the sound and all but I think I'm looking for...

After reading quite a bit on these forums, I finally decided to purchase Beyerdynamic HD880/600ohm with a woo audio 3 amplifier. I have my source connected to a fireaudio spitfire DAC, which then feeds the WA3. I just hooked up the amp today. The problem is, I get almost no sound out of the...

Wondering where I can get the same exact gold plated screw on 3.5mm to 1/4" adaptor? Does anyone know?  

Hello everyone! How are you guys doing?   I'm a total noob at the whole headphone business, so I come here to ask for your help! I recently purchased(yesterday) a DT880 250 ohm and now I want the 600 ohm, cant' return it as I threw away the box because it wouldn't fit in my backpack(I have a...

  Hello everyone, I’m new to Headfi, have been reading threads on this forum for some time finally decided to make an account. I’ve been into music and sound for some time but have just recently discovered the world of headphones. I promise I won’t be a troll and make repetitive threads. IF I...

...hallo i would to change the original cushions, very very comfortable, with a leather pair. do i have to aspect some improvement? and what's about the comfortably? thanks have a good weekend!

First off, I'm incredibly new to amps. It's almost overwhelming trying to digest everything, so try to take it easy on me.   Anyway, I was originally going to grab an Asus Xonar STX to power my Beyerdynamic DT880 - 600 ohm headphones and Swan M200MkIII speakers. The speakers are probably a...

Hi Guys   I’m looking to replace my damaged Grado 125's (beyond repair).  From what I read and for my £100 price, a lot of people seem to think the Grado SR80I is about the best bet at this price.  Thing is I liked the Grade’s, but they are not very comfortable, leak sound like crazy but did...

Some or an IEM that could be a portable choice with the same (for me) balanced sound spectrum of Beyerdynamic dt880?

A little while ago I was fortunate enough to receive a 2 month review model of a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro (250 ohm) headphones to review next to my AKG K701. Both are fantastic mid level headphones that many head-fier's find themselves going back and forth on which to purchase. This review...
