Bass heavy - treble light headphones
I am now pretty sure I prefer headphones with a bit more bass, or rather a bit more sub-bass, the frequencies which produces a rumble rather than a boom, and so have been trying to look for headphones that are a bit bassy. Now here is the problem... A lot of headphones that cater to the...- CaptainRusko

I have got these DT880's that i have been sitting on in a non-working state for about 6 months now that have got a problem with the sound being greatly reduced and distorted on the right hand side, yet still resembling the music you are playing.

DT880 Sound problem
I have some Beyer DT880's and were working fine for around 6 months when the sound almost completely disappeared from the right side, to the point where you can only hear a really fuzzy sound out of that side if you turn them right up, although it does sound like whatever you are listening to...- CaptainRusko

Headphones and Amplification
Let me start by saying I am very new to this hobby and really know very little about it and do not understand hardly any of the technical details regarding headphones and amps... This can be illustrated by my purchasing of a DT880 (250ohm I think) with only a E5 amp to power it. I now have...- CaptainRusko

DT880 Premium
Not sure what to think of these cans. Much better sound quality than my previous cheap headphones (hd212 + ksc75... obviously) but I think it sounds a bit boring for music where BASS is important. Maybe its being brutish and ignorant but I think I do prefer the HD212 with some of the...- CaptainRusko
