    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Hi guys, ordered a pair of HD650 a couple of days ago,currently awaiting for them to be delivered. Nonetheless, I'd like to ask if an amp with +4 V peak output at 600 omhs (around 2.8 Vrms...would be a little bit lower with 300 omhs) and a rated output impedance "<30 omhs" would be adequate to...

    Best USB DAC / Audio interface for musician with high impedance headphones

    Hey, thanks for your suggestion! I've looked at the price, I guess that's on another level compared to the Tascam for my needs? I should rephrase the title of the thread though: not looking for absolute best, but something within the budget of the devices mentioned in the OP

    Best USB DAC / Audio interface for musician with high impedance headphones

    Hey guys, I play bass guitar as a hobby and my current rig consists of: Bass plugged into bass amplifier - > DI OUT to external sound card (cheap M-Audio Fast Track MK2) -> LINE OUT to an old Luxman L-113A stereo amplifier -> PHONES OUT to Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO, 600 Ohm version (here you can...

    The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

    In an attempt to get rid of any SSSSSSibilance without losing detail, last night a played a bit with software parametric eqs. I used Equalizer APO, which injects into Windows sound subsystem (as far as I understood), so you get an EQed sound not only while using your music player, but pretty...

    The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

    Meanwhile, these cans are working beautifully for me. Instead of using the LPF, I just cut the highs a bit and kept using them for a while, just as pp312 said. This afternoon, I tried to use the old AKG K81 DJs again direct into the M-Audio soundcard, just for the sake of it. HOLY S***, how...

    The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

    So, the headphones arrived 2 days ago. It's the Premium 600 Ohm version.   They sound great, especially with the Luxman as Koolpep anticipated. It brings some warmth and thickness to the overall sound signature. The difference is quite apparent. Mind you, I'm not an audiophile by all means. I...

    There are no tubes whatsoever in it, I'm afraid!

    The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

    Hello guys, thinking about buying these headphones, just thinking about the 250 vs 600 Ohm thing, especially considering what I'm going to pair them with. The amplifier I'm going to use is an old old Luxman L 114-A. It was my father's, so it's free. I'm just trying to figure out what's the...

    is a M-Audio Fast Track USB MK II enough to drive Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO 250 ohm?

    Hi guys, currently have a pair of AKG K518 which are now falling apart after several years of service. I'd like to get a pair of good quality headphones, with a neutral-ish sound signature (leaning towards warm, no V shaped phones), for home use only. I'd like them to be comfortable and last a...

    <100€ Headphones for a Bass player

    91€ @ Amazon.it They are actually cheaper than K240 from there, about the same price from amazon.co.uk (where they are both cheaper than the italian site) Full-sized headphones it's what I want, I'm coming from a supra-aural model but circumaural will do as well (tbh they could even be more...

    <100€ Headphones for a Bass player

    Hi guys, I'm thinking about replacing my AKG K518DJ soon, which served me very well for some years but is giving up now. I did remove the foam pad to bring out some mids and flatten a bit their frequency response (quite common mod on them I believe). I will use my headphones to listen at...

    Headphones for a Bass player (home use only)

    Thanks a lot. Based on reviews, I'd be inclined to exclude Beyerdynamic from the list, as I'm trying to avoid a scooped/V-shape sound. Bass sound is all about midrange :p To give a comparison I tried also some friend's AKG Q460. I absolutely hated them for listening to music, liked them a lot...

    Headphones for a Bass player (home use only)
