They look a lot better.. But, IMO, the drivers are poor. I heard 200.00 headphones that better the Beats by a good margin.

Welcome. No headphone I heard or owned comes close to capturing studio reverb like the DT48.. I know some people who claim they don't like the DT48 because voices have an 'echo.' It's not the headphone. It's the recording. I owned the T1, and it couldn't capture studio reverb half as well.. I...

The E models have ohms of 8, 25, and 200.. The A models are only 5 ohms.. From what I read, the 8ohm models are from the 70's and sound less conventional then modern DT48 models.

I read the over the ear pads give better bass presence and impact.. And maybe a bit bigger sound stage. My pair sounds much better with my new OPPO Flagship BRP with the built in headphone amp and high end sabre dacs.. These headphones really scale well with better gear.

2,000 Amp/DAC with 'optional' 1250 psu. Better off getting a great amp/dac with a beefy ps..

Not fair. Their 1,000 BRP is their flagship model. Their 'entry' level BRP is around 4-5 hundred I believe. That is like saying Senheiser doesn't make cheap headphones because the HD800 is 1,400..

OPPO means quality, and great value.. People who balk at their flagship 1,200 player, don't realize that to get better, you would need to spend 2-3 times more.. Also, what other 1,200 BRP support support a balanced connection? Their best up converting player ranked just as good, or nearly as...

I recently purchased a early 70's 200ohm DT48..I changed the pads from rubber to foam. The sound is eerily stat like. It could also be my new amp and dac.. Better then my 701 and 2010 DT48.

IMO, yes!

My buzzing was on the right. The experience was like a punch in the stomach. The most I paid for a headphone was 250.00.. My 701. They still work fine. My new T1's that I paid 1,000 for.. Defective. I could not send them to Beyers cause my warranty was invalid, since I bought it from Amazon. And...

  How does it effect the music? Lows go lower?

I'm sure this will be sacrilegious in some area's on Head Fi, but the DT48 is easily the most transparent and honest headphone I have ever heard in my life.

They clamp and cause sweat build up. My 701's are more comfortable. Sound is subjective, but the DT48 has less bass impact then the 701, but offers a more pure and faithful mid range. YMMV. Never heard the 702, though.

  Yes. Very odd headphone. I read they were used by the 3rd Reich for surveillance purposes. Maybe that is why the mid range is so strong?

The ultimate hit or miss headphone. They can sound extremely bad or extremely good; soly depending on the source. No other headphone I heard or own come close in that regard.
