I dont know if I'll buy the soundcard at the same time as the headphones...most likely, I'll end up waiting a month between the purchases. That said, I plan on buying the headphones in the next few days. I'm still on the fence between the two. On the one hand I can turn the A/C whenever...

Thanks for the replies guys, really appreciate it. I have two other roommates who are generally quiet (and I can close my door) but further, my A/C can definitely be turned off. I do love me some DT770's but I do like the idea of a larger soundstage of the DT990's...     ...decisions...

So I've given my pair of DT770's to my brother. I bought them back when there were ~112 on Amazon. So, I'm now in the market for new headphones.   I loved the DT770's a lot and for what I was doing - movie watching, music listening, and playing games (FPS's, RPG's, and strategy games) - it...

Does anyone have a pair of A2s? Can they comment on how hot the speaker with the amp gets? The one thing that's holding me back from getting the AV40's is the fact that the left speaker gets really hot, I'd like to keep these on at night so they can function as my alarm clock in the morning...

War and Peace. Trust me on this one.

I love stuff from TI, Kanye (not a huuuge fan of his new album) but the one rap album I'm REALLY looking forward too is LupEND from Lupe Fiasco.

Got these in the mail yesterday and gotta admit that they sound pretty good. Definately happy with this purchase

Thanks for the review, I'm starting to look around for DAC's and the Devilsound caught my eye. Lo and behold, theres a review on head fi di you try this with head phones at all?

*puts credit card to his wrist Someone tell me to buy it right now and I will. I swear to god I will! But first - seriously, is there a newer version coming out?

I don't get it, is there a new model on the horizon I just don't know about?

Will these be okay running out of a laptop for a little while? Or like an iPhone? No amp at the moment, but would it still sound decent enough to warrant the purchase?

Are they coming out with a new model or something? Why is this so cheap? I was in the market at 199, but this is a steal!

I could only imagine what would have happened to me (if I were in that situation). Note: I'm half-arab, half-Indian.

anyone know where to get the 80ohm DT770 pro? Not the black version, with the "beyerdynamic" in white writing across the middle but the gray ones...

You know, when I worked at Best Buy, we use to sell the 301's like CRAZY. I'd always try and steer people to the Klipsch instead, but once I started listening, they weren't bad. Worth the price? Hell no, but not bad...

wellll... long story short - i put them in my backpack, which I set behind my dad's car. i went inside to go get something and I thought my dad had put it in the trunk...yeah, he didnt. It's in about 1000 pieces right now, and the only thing that I can distinguish is the letter 'D'.

So my DT770's broke this past weekend, and now I'm in the market for a new pair. I currently have a pair of Shure E4c's and they do a great job, but I was contemplating getting a new pair of DT770's (which I loved) or some other headphone. I was also thinking about getting a pair of...
