Sounds good to me! Thanks for the help dude.   Yeah I mainly listen to heavier stuff so if these are good for that then I'll be happy!   The amp I've been looking at is the Denon AVR-2200 since it'll be used for my PC, consoles, music, movies so that's comparable to your Marantz 1605 too I...

I've been wanting to upgrade these for a long time now, I initially bought them after my Logitech Z5500 sub blew and those speakers lasted me a very very long time but I think it's time for a proper audio upgrade.   I think I've found some good speakers that I'll be happy enough with but I'm...

My only nitpicks so far is that the fuzzy pads can cause me to itch the side of my head but hopefully that'll be reduced through normal wear and the adjustable headband doesn't seem to have much tension on it so the earcups will slowly drop and land on the top of my ears so I re-adjust them a lot.

  Sounds unreal with the X2's!

Should be getting mine tomorrow! Hopefully...   Edit: They have arrived! Very first impressions are that they sound like a fun, warm, bassier and "fuller" sounding AKG Q701.

Thanks for the help! If I do decide to get them I'll definitely get the DT770 Pro pads with them if it makes them sound similar, I did try the pleathers for the DT990 and it just completely muddied up the sound.

I've been looking at these for the past couple of days and I'm really liking the sound of the detachable cable, I'm currently using the DT 990 Pros 250 with the velvet pads, how would these compare? And would the velvet pads be any good on the COPs because I'm not a fan of pleather at all... cheers!

Wow that's lucky, I probably won't get as lucky as you though lol. And I will definitely have a look at those Opamps when I eveeeeentually get the card :D  

I looked into the Titanium HD a while ago and I do want one so I'll put it on my upgrade list :D And yeah I use the Mixamp for consoles so I'd like to keep it, I'll try altering some settings in the Asus control panel and see if that makes a difference in quality, cheers man!  

Well I have an Asus Xonar D2X which I've had for years now and I tried using that instead of my Mixamp but I didn't notice much of a difference to be honest and I wasn't keen on the headphone option it has, sounds kind of weird so that's why I just leave it plugged into the Mixamp :) But I think...

I'll give them a look, thanks! Really appreciate it.  

  Quote:   I'm using a Coax cable from my Asus Xonar D2X to the Mixamp and with a 3.5mm cable to the E9 Line in, but I use Optical for consoles. I just expected the E7 to add extra options to change the overall sound, but thanks for the clarification!

I meant does it colour the sound without changing any settings? Sorry for the confusion.

Hey guys, wondering if I could get a little bit of advice here.   I very recently bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990 Pros and a Fiio E9, which then goes into my Astro Mixamp for gaming but I was wondering what a Fiio E7 actually does to the sound and if it's a worthy purchase for me? Does...

Quote: Yeah I think that's what I want, the Dt990 is too smooth and it kinda gets a little boring for me after a while too, when I listen to metal or dubstep I want it to 'shock' me when it drops. And yeah I think I just got a little excited, maybe sense will prevail when I finally go...

Decided to spend the extra and get the D5000... I can't deny that wood finish!

I'll have a look thanks.   I think I'd be more content with the DT990 pros with a straight cable and some leather pads to be honest but I've heard that the official leather pads for them make the sound worse and the JMoney pads are really expensive for what they are.   Out of the HD598...

I live in the UK and most headphones that I've looked at over here are really expensive :(   I'd rather get them over here because of warranty and returns etc.

They're sounding really tempting, how are they with audio quality in contrast to the Beyers? And I don't suppose the AHD5000s are worth the extra money? The AHD2000s are £180 and the AHD5000s are £280...

Sounds perfect for me that's the issue I have with the DT990s, the top back half of my ear scrapes alongside them... I am now really considering them, unless there's anything else?

Oh... fair enough then but I have been looking at the D2Ks, and they aren't terribly out of my price range, but they look huuuge or maybe it's just the pictures, but one thing that I can't really make out is the ear depth, anyone know if there a lot of space?

Quote: Yeah I do have the Pro 250ohm version, are the pads different on this?  

Quote: Yeah all I heard was how comfy they were so when I got them I was like... ummm... and yeah I bought them brand new.   Quote: The clamping force that they came with was silly, it was crushing my head, it was only till I stretched them fully out a good few times that...

Quote: I've had a look at the HD650 and unfortunately it is out of my price range for the moment but thanks for your suggestions.     Quote: I'll take a look at the HE400 thanks, and I usually listen to 320kbps music files or lossless sometimes depending on the band and I...

Hey guys,   I recently bought some Beyerdynamic DT990s and I was rather impressed by their sound but for some reason they're giving me migraines and I think it might be because of the really high treble which to be honest I tend to forget about but I guess my ears don't, anyway I've been...
