I priced Everything out, I can get all the components and knobs for 30$ w/o shipping, I can get the ac-ac power adapter for 6$ w/o shipping, and I can get the PCB for 6$. With shipping it came up to about 49$ and some change. Keep in mind that's without the 10$ batteries, the housing which costs...

I just got my dt880 pro 250 ohms and my fiio e10! They are fanatics. Keep in mind I do not know any of the audiophile terms, the words I use are only mine haha. The 880's have quite a bit of detail to them and you can really hear everything in each song and composure. I was surprised how very...

Ok, you guys convinced me that I might be wrong about ken. He does seem weird from what you guys say.   Quote: Thanks for the additional information bigben. I'll keep the littledot in mind.   Sounds good, I'm happy that they will be decent together. Thanks for the response. I was...

Haha ya I thought that it was silly when I saw it too. He still has good information regardless, though.

Jgreen, this review is the best review I've seen for the dt880's. It will probably answer a lot of your questions.

Awesome guys. I'll keep that in mind talisman, I'll probably use my free in-ears in I really need some. Amps are starting to really frustrate me. head-fi always stresses that you need an amp, but other websites, like ken rockwell will say that I'm fine without an amp/dac. I plan on getting the...

I would just get them from amazon   http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-518-Headphones-Black/dp/B0042A68R8/   If you get free shipping it'll be cheap and I always feel a bit safer ordering from amazon than any 3rd party company

In total abandon of my my free IEM's, I just ordered some dt880's! I'm super excited and I hope they're as good as I think they will be. I plan on listening to mostly classical and some old school rock with em. I also ordered a fiio e10 dac/amp for them. Now audio is not my hobby, these phones...

  Actually I am happy with my current set but the jump of quality from my free in ears to my new headphones was very big that it makes me wonder if I would enjoy better headphones even more.   No one around me has any headphones of any quality that I can think of, other then beats, I do...

Hey everyone, I recently took a step into the "audiophile" domain and I seem to be getting sucked into it pretty quickly! I have an, I guess you could say, an addictive personality. Whenever I get an interest in something  I go overboard, read all together too much about it, research the crap...

I've read from a couple of places that these headphones are not good for classical/acoustic music because of the large bass. I'm looking to get my first pair of good audiophile headphones with a max budget of 150$ (2 days ago it was 50$ haha). If I listen to mainly rock, classical, blues, and...

Quote: I understand. I was giving thought to all the advice you and the others have given me. I realized that I spend 70% of my music listening time on my laptop. Every other time that I'm not on my computer I'm not really going to have the mindset to really listen and enjoy the music. So I...

Quote: Ok so, neutral headphones that do not need an amp or DAC on a 250$ budget. sounds manageable! The buying guide seems to suggest Audio-Technica ATH-A900X or Audio Technica ATHESW9A.The price of the A900X is appealing.

Quote:   Well, I have no way of testing nice headphones so I'm not sure exactly what I would like but something neutral probably (maybe a little analytical) , definitely not colored. What do you mean by efficient and why do you recommend that? 

Quote: haha well I hope by skipping out on the journey I will be able to avoid making audiopile a hobby. I'm hoping these headphones will last me years.
