Quote: THANKYOU!   So non amped which would you pick? I mean, the amp is only going to give you loudness right? I don't need that loud, but anyway for NOW I am not getting an amp.

I have asked this thousand times here now...   Will line level drive these cans? And BTW, this is the same as DT-990Pro right?   Those phones seem to be the #1 at headphoneratings... though they don't review nearly every can.

Ok here is my question that seems to be impossible to get answered: CAN beyerdynamics at 250 ohms be driven good enough by line level? Has anyone tried this? And ATH-M50 or Beterdynamic 990pro WHICH DO I GET!

Quote: Yes, the frequency response of SRH-840 is actually worst of the bunch though. Very recessed highs.   I wrote basically every single thing wrong that you can write wrong in the first post, sorry about that -.-. Yes I mean SRH-840.   Anyway I am leaning towards the ATH40s...

Quote: Seems like their setup isn't that accurate. So it is probably just the variance. Also the Beyerdynamic measurement by different site uses something to account for skull, and thus is just a little low pass filtered or something, as headroom's graph for beyers look like this:  ...

Yes beyerdynamics are 250 ohms(fixed that), will line level drive them fine?

How many DB's does the 250ohms take away from line level? It actually ain't horrible if the max is at 90db without amp as I don't want to ruin my ears (already have some problems).   Anyway, why do so many people recommend the ATH's over beyerdynamics anyway? Here are the Beyer's, they...

Dogfight!   I am so hard trying to decide between these 3, mainly need them for studio work. The EQ graph of the beyerdynamics is relatively the flattest and it is ranked number #1 in headphone ratings.com. However it is still far from flat and quiet ugly EQ boost at bit over 10Khz, that is...
