    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...

    DT880 Blown Driver?

    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...

    Is the Chaintech av-710 still a good card?

    On a very tight budget, looking for a cheap sound card to improve the onboard audio I have on my PC at the moment. I know the chaintech was highly regarded when it first came out and was just wondering whether it still represents value for money in 2010.   I am buying it at £23, could I do...

    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...

    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...

    Sound card+amp or DAC+amp combo - which is better on a tight budget

    Hello I was wondering if I could have some opinions on the best way to spend my money. The problem at the moment for me is that I am listening to most of my music and a bit of gaming, out of PC with its rubbish in-board sound card and a cheap E5 amp. The thing I'm not sure about is whether spend...

    Forum or thread for bargain deals?

    I was wondering if there was a designated place on these forums where people can share any reduced offers/bargain deals they may find on the internet or elsewhere for headphones?

    Hello I'm new to here but was wondering if I could get some advice, or even ask for a big favor if there are any willing.   I live in the UK and I am jealous of the headphone deals available to my US cousins, which can offer prices far far below what I could hope to find in the UK. At the...
