I want to throw some money at a pair of headphones, and maybe a headphone amp/dac if it will improve the SQ vs the amp/dac from the receiver. I have a 5.1 setup at the moment connected to my Denon via optical into my PC which I use for gaming/music. It consists of Energy RC-10s, Minis, and an...

The following table is based on measurements, not manufacturer specs.   Target SPL is 110 dB SPL. The source is assumed to output 2 V. The amp is assumed to be a voltage source (0 ohm output impedance). Voltage, current, power are RMS figures.   What do the columns mean? S@1V is the...

Hey everyone, I've been using a pair of DT770's like the title says and I started on a PA2v2 amp, and moved over to my Sony DG800 as my amp for now. I'm looking at picking up a Schiit Valhalla and another set of cans. I love my 770's but I'm looking for more low end, they need to be a closed can...

Hi Guys,   I live in a college dorm and need some advice on which headphones to buy for late night gaming. Read the entire list of reviews here and still can't make up my mind; I have some very specific requirements for this pair of headphones. Let me share my background to give you an...

Hi!   I'm looking for a new headphones; they should be closed and I would like neutral/balanced ones, just because I'm that kind of person :-) Also they should be comfortable enough to wear them for say 4-5 hours without significant discomfort (more is better). Price limit is $400.  ...

Now. This is all going to sound a bit crazy, so bear with me, alright? I just yesterday picked up a pair of DT 770 PROs. These are in fact my second pair of them as I had returned them well in the past. They are a very "fun" sounding headphone with great bass, but a kind of "closed" or "cupped"...

Hello,   As title says, I've only had these for a few weeks.  I noticed a section of the earcups was sort of hanging off,  does this normally happen?  Can i expect it to get worse?   Please see pics.   Thanks   http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/7192/img1740g.jpg  ...

Hi, I'm in the market for good headphones + DAC / amp with about a $700-$800 total budget.   My source will mainly be from a Macbook Pro (late 2011) w/ lossy streaming @ 320 Kbps (Spotify).  I still want it to sound good with FLAC files.  I listen mostly to rock, jazz, classical, hip hop...

I'm pretty much about to pull the trigger on a pair of DT770 mostly to use with my laptop. I just really fancy a pair as an alternative to my Sennheiser HD 580.   Will the 80ohm be enough, or get the 250 ohm and buy a Fiio portable headphone amp for it?

How do these 3 headphones seem to respond to the challenge of: Portray convincingly real female voice and piano? Warm with a soft treble? Shure SRH1540 Shure SRH940 Beyer DT 770 250 ohm Please suggest any other headphones that might be better suited for the: Low volume needed playing...

So, I have recently purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic dt770 pro 250 ohms. I love them, but would really appreciate a pair of headphones that don't mask the midrange frequencies behind bass and treble. I will be using them to listen to my country music collection :D. Yes, I have different tastes...

Hello everybody!   So I have been wondering the Internet for my next headphone purchase, currently I have the SteelSeries Siberia V2 w/ Asus Xonar DG   I am looking for closed (perhaps open if they don't leak sound) gaming and music headphones, sound proof leaking is really important to...

Hello, so I'm buying a present for my friend that would be a pair of headphones. I'm looking for decent priced (up to 200$), balanced headphones. He mainly listnes to folklore, classical, sometimes rap, a bit of rock (not much though). So he isnt woompy boompy bass fan. What kind of headphones...

Hey guys, I am looking for a pair of DT 770's, mostly for gaming and media. I have found two pairs, besides the resistance of the 'phones (one is 80Ω the other is 250Ω), are they identical?         The pair on the left are £20 cheaper than the pair on the right, I was wondering if they...

So I wanted to buy an ATH-M50, but it seems the prices here in the Netherlands for those headphones are a lot higher than in America. The price is about 180, for 10 euros more I could get the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro. And for 80-100 euros less, I can get the AGK K-240 MKII (so 80-100 euros...

I have a pair of ATH-M50’s that I have had for about 1.75 years now and would now like to pick a new pair.  I have been out of the Head-Fi loop for a little while now and am now interested in getting in and getting something new again.   I would like to keep the budget under $250 and like to...

Hello Head-Fi!   I've been a long time lurker, but recently joined the Forum to see if I could get assistance in selecting the best suited pair of Headphones for my Setup.   I will be purchasing a Schiit Magni Amplifier in the upcoming days, and have drilled down to the following...

Don't kill me, but I got those for a test and I really impressed, especially of a headset phones. Look, they may have a little bit too much low-end, and the bass singature overally not that good, but it's bass is detailed and deep. Also the mid and the highs are amazing and really detailed. I...

When I say gaming headphone, I don't mean that I want a mic, volume control or any other external feature. I want a can with mostly linear bass extension - flat sub bass that doesn't recess with midbass that doesn't interfere with male vocals. I also want imaging that allows me to accurately...

Hello! Looking to buy some DT770s in 250 ohm versions for home use with a DAC but also for recording radio interviews primarily from a Roland Wave recorder and sometimes from a larger Zoom recorder. Sound doesn't need to be that loud for the recordings but can these recorders drive the...

I currently have a DT770 250ohm (with no amp) that I plug into my 13'' Retina MacBook Pro. I'm planning on getting the Fiio E12 amp. Is it necessary/recommended that I eventually buy a DAC as well?   Or would I be better off getting an amp/DAC combo like the Fiio E17 or Fiio E07k?   Thanks
