    Beyerdynamic DT770 600 ohms Premium Appreciation!!!!!

    I'm currently using a Schiit Magni 2 and a Darkvoice tube amp. The DT770 600 ohm sounds great on the tube amp! The DT770 250 ohm also sounds really good on the tube amp, probably slightly better than the 600 ohm version.

    Beyerdynamic DT770 600 ohms Premium Appreciation!!!!!

    Also, not sure if anyone has looked at the old vs. new drivers, but here's a photo of both so you can see the difference! The old driver is on the left, and the new driver is on the right.

    Beyerdynamic DT770 600 ohms Premium Appreciation!!!!!

    As an owner of the DT770 600 ohm and 250 ohm versions, there is definitely a difference in the way they sound! Much more balanced and not so bass heavy on the 600 ohm version. Also, I should also say that you can still order new 600 ohm drivers from Beyerdynamic, but you have to order from the...

    Sennheiser HD650 vs AKG K7XX

    I've owned the Sennheiser HD650 for a couple of years now, and I still love it like a little newborn German baby. I also own the K7XX, and for $200 it's really hard to beat. It's the most comfortable headphone I've ever used. It's like if your ears were lying naked on a shag rug! Ooooh, that...

    Best 5 songs to test new headphones on!

    That's brilliant! Here's an album I wish I'd found earlier by Henrik Schwarz, titled "Instruments." Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwyFpsSNEqoBLBDXkZsOBUJWlFA45SyUM

    Microphonic Problem on Shure SE215

    I have this problem as well. There is definitely a sound coming from the cable as I walk, mainly when the cable brushes up against my clothing or part of my body. In fact, I can hear the impact of each of my footsteps when I wear the SE215. It drives me nuts and completely distracts me from the...

    Hearing Safety and Ear Health Thread (a diary of a ear health noob)

    Does anybody know if there is a digital audio player that provides a decibel reading on the volume? It seems ridiculous to me that a person should have to use a handheld spl meter to measure the loudness coming from headphones. It really wouldn't be that difficult for a company to create a...

    The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread

    Are you talking about the "rattle" noise? And if so, is this occurring in all of the K7XX headphones or just some? I'm wondering how many other people here have had this issue (or any other noise/sound issues in the ear cups). And I would also like to know who to contact if my HPs have this...

    NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S

    I agree. Build quality is definitely important. HifiMan is probably cutting huge costs with the plastic build. Sound doesn't matter if the cans fall apart on you. That's why I haven't pulled the trigger on these just yet. I want to see what issues surface with these headphones, especially since...

    NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S

    I'd be interested in how different pads sound on the 400S, especially in terms of the bass response. Anybody out there with different HifiMan pads to compare? I was hoping these had the so-called "planar bass punch/extension" but obviously for $300 HifiMan had to taper it somewhat in certain...

    NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S

    Thanks for the comparisons! I'm even more excited now, except I will have to hold off ordering them until I have the extra dough.

    NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S

    Can anyone compare the HE-400S to the HD600 and HD650?
