i can imagine it now, instead of wanting clothes or jewlery or toys for birthday and christmas, shes going to want some audio gear!

ath-es7. VERY uncomfortable, hurts when u wear them. headband comes out making it look weird, ear cups can get finger prints or smudged or scratched VERY easily

what kind of music do u listen to? that should be considered in ur decision.

well i think the sr80i is just $99 so yea

ah very nice, quick shipping for u too! its gonna take about a week for mine to arrive. but no worries, my little dot mk2 is still on the way as well, so no point in getting the cans early. and im glad u like the deal! edit: also, i really hope that i will like my set up too! i hope this can...

hi there, im considering going with the 250 ohm version now that i realize i prolly wont/cant afford to get a amp/dac that will drive the 600 ohm version to potential. also, most of my music is not in super high quality flac or anything, so i thought maybe the 250 ohm version will be more...

bump!

hmm i see. im considering going with the 250 ohm version now that i realize i prolly wont get a amp/dac that will drive the 600 ohm version to potential. also, most of my music is not in super high quality flac or anything, so maybe the 250 ohm version will be more forgiving? a few questions...

no worries about the straight forward answer, i havent even bought the dt990/600's yet actually. i want to make sure that i know what im going to get for everything before i purchase. ok so since u say i need a desktop amp, do u have any in mind that would drive them properly? i thought maybe a...

bump, anyone?

also, what about the fireye 2? it says.... Headphone Impedance: 32 - 600 Ohms. since it says 32-600, that means it should be able to power the 600ohm dt990's, no? but how good will this really perform? im kinda skeptical cuz its only $97. i thought about the cute beyond/curve but...

ugh....u serious? dang it, well i guess the musiland is out of the question now. well hold up, let me see. which amp or dac would i need to properly drive these 600 ohm version dt990? just shout out some amps/dac's and ill judge if they are generally too much money or not for me. would...

wow this is very interesting. after these years, u guys had complete opposite opinions on them. i was set on getting a pair of dt990/600 premiums but i might consider other things. hows the bass on the dt990 and dt880? i will be amping them with a musiland 02 monitor that i have not...

i think those would need a nice amp

well, i guess now ur about to find out =) http://www.sennheiserusa.com/media/p...ngthecable.pdf

hmm aight thanks. i heard as well that the musiland was better than the stx as well. but i never heard about the stx being better than the zero. but then again i never looked into that. i heard it has a semi good/decent amp. ill prolly end up just getting the musiland 02. can it power the 600...

bump for more responses!

also, would the musiland 02 be able to drive the 600 ohm version well?

my friend also told me about that too, how zero dac has bad build quality or something. so far its 3-0 musiland 02. so im leaning towards that as of now, but definitely open to some more things!

hmm $200, dang, thats quite a bit. ill keep it in the back of my mind tho.

hey guys, so im going to get a dt990/600 soon and im currently also going to be look for my first amp/dac to run them properly. ive got them down to 2 of them. the zero dac and musiland 02 monitor. i wanted to get ur guys's feedback on which one of these would be the best for them. ive heard...

bump for more responses regarding the amp

david.m, YGPM also, are u able to answer the question regarding the amps in my post, #12? thanks!
