The title sums up my question but if sound vise there is any difference please explain to me, (of course I know above 32 I will be needing an amp to drive them) :) , and one other thing, after 15 days of reading and watching reviews I finally have bought Sennhiser HD 600, but I heard many good...

I recently purchased Audio-Technica M50s and love them. However, I am intrigued by the other postings on this forum regarding the various Beyerdynamics and the HD598. I am going to keep the M50s, but also want to buy another pair of cans.   I assume I could purchase the HD598 for a better...

I'm after some open headphones to I can keep some awareness of whats going on.  I work at home, and the inlaws due to bad health are staying with us for a while.  I need to keep them from hearing the music, yet need to hear some ambient noise to keep an "ear" on things..  I find that over the...

I'll keep this short as I don't have too much to say. A friend of mine bought the DT880 250 ohm (premium) and I decided to spend an hour listening to all three headphones, out of my Sansa Clip+ and Schiit Magni (I'd have used my modi, but I didn't have a laptop/computer at the time).  The...

I am about to pull the trigger on a new set of cans. I have pretty much decided on the DT880 250ohm but I want to be sure that my Fiio E07K will have enough juice to drive them well. If not, would I be better off with the DT880 32ohm or the Hifiman HE-400? I had pretty much decided on the HE-400...

decided to replace the 3.5mm jack on a stock dt880 cable.   cut the cable.   stranded enamel wire. why the hell do they use enamel wire?   How do i tin a solder this stuff??

Hey guys, so I recently started becoming an audiophile, but I got a problem. I don't own a proper pair of headphones. So obviously I need some help My past experiences with headsets are only a few which I use regularly now. I own a pair of Motorola S11-HD for outdoor use and a Logitech G930...

First off: I'm no audiophile (Best I've tried is like Beyer DT880, which kinda squeeze your head, which I don't like and Bose Triports, which are pricy) and I'm 13 (And a half!) years old. Alright, last week I picked up theAKG K99's @ $75 bottomline @ Guitar Center (If you're on a tight...

Looking to get new headphones that will be played from my iphone. I'm looking for something with good bass and soundstage. Can be open or closed. Listen yo variety of music, but especially metal (I love Opeth). Been looking at: Hifiman He 400 X1 Beyer 880 Price range less than $400. Will...

Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster. I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-880's (32ohm) last October as they fit most of my needs. They're my first real entry into the world of high end audio, and I've absolutely loved them. I use them with my Macbook, my iPad, my iPhone, and they've been...

Hi guys, i need your help to recommend some of the budget headphone that suit for classical and vocal music. I prefer those could give a relaxing sound and comfort to wear since i feel that my sony V7506 is quite sharp and hard to have a long and relax time for listening to music. my budget is...

ugh sorry i just realised that i posted this in the wrong section.  i can't find a delete button so i'll just repost in the portable amps section and ask any admin reading this to kindly delete this post :)

looking for a budget tube amp, nothing special but something that will show improvement over just using my sansa cliip+   How is that Q2 for $60 over at Head-direct?  Any other suggestions under $100 are appreciated, looking for new or used.

Hi Guy, I've been using these for a couple of years, and am not sure if my warranty is still valid now. Anyway, Lately I've noticed that the right earpad seems to be noticeably quieter than the left. I'm going to try a different pair of phones/source when I get home to be sure, but any ideas if...

Hi Guys, I love the way they sound, and the comfort level is great with velour pads. Unfortunately, the right headphone appears to not be matching the volume coming through the left. I'm looking to see if this can be fixed, but am also wondering about any alternative phones I could buy to use in...

Hello world of head-fi!   I read tons of stuff off head-fi and felt that now is the time when I really need to post to ask for your help.   I wish to upgrade from a K240 Studio and after even months of research I got to these two headphones. Dispite the fact that the SHURE is closed and...

I am looking for a tube amp for Beyer Dynamic DT-880's 600 ohms for under $1000. The source will be Yulong Audio Crystal DA. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I need help so bad I am so confused I am getting headphones around tax return time and have narrowed it down to 5 choices ath pro 700mk2 dt880 32 ohm vs dt770 32 ohm denon d2000 or Sony mdr xb1000 I am brand new to this head-fi site/experience and need urgent help I will not be amping these my...

Hey guys need your help with this. I just bought a new soundcard to satisfy my gaming urges and give me a better edge in competitive (RPG/RTS) gaming while not limiting my ability to listen to my heavy metal (which won't be done often from the cans) or playing other games casually.   More or...

I want to know about the detail and the sound quality between these two Headphones and which do you prefer thank you.

Greetings all.  This is my first review here so I'm sorry if there's anything I missed. Back to the topic then, I searched a little bit and didn't found any review at all about the pairing of beyer's dt 880 32 Ohm version with the Little Dot MK II tube amp so I guess a little review won't...

Hello all!   It's a pleasure to be a part of such an educated, interesting, and great group of people. I've been lurking for a while, but am so impressed with everyone's expertise, I thought I'd ask questions and interact, for once.   I'm a high-school science teacher, also a soul, jazz...

Hi all, as per the title, I need to ask you some questitions regarding the Beyerdynamic DT880 Premium (32 ohm version).   Currently I'm using a Sennheiser PC360 plugged in to an Asus Xonar DG, and I'm wondering if the DT880 would be an improvement over my headset in terms of sound quality...

There's a lot of discussion between the DT880 Pro vs Premium's scattered in a bunch of different threads but no conclusion I could find. From my understanding the only difference is the aesthetics, headband, and straight vs coiled cable. I read somewhere that the Pro's have more bass due to the...

deciding on some headphones- i think i might get the DT 880's. i will power them with an ipod and a fiio e7. should i get the 30 or 250 ohm version?
