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...

Just received my new Beyer's this morning from Amazon. T90 version.. Great price too. In any case they almost look like they were demo's or maybe a returned item. Is there any concern here if they were returned from someone. I always worry about electronics. How they were treated.... Burn...

Hello Everyone,   I'm new to this forum but have been snooping around for a bit.  I'm an audiophile but have never had any interest in headphones, so I basically no nothing about them.  I've been struck with the urge for a descent portable setup for times when my iPhone just doesn't cut it...

Hi all,    I just sold my Beyerdynamic T90s and need to move on to IEMs. I'm looking at the W60, SE846 so far. Any other worthy considerations? I'm likely purchasing used.    Thanks

Hi guys, I've just listened carefully to all my headphones, and, sadly, my favorite tend to be the Sennheiser ie80... At least tonight. "Sadly", because I'm not really an in-ear guy...   So my question is simple : to you, in which full sized open cans will I find the ie80's sound signature ...

So here it goes. I have never had a chance to try out any Beyerdynamic product and I'm quite liking the reviews I have been reading. Now I want to go for a pair but I need advice as to which one to get.   What is the best one I can get? Which one will get me the best results for my money? A...

I'm 90% sure there are hairs in my t90's drivers due to rattling (with the left driver rattling far more). Is disassembly similar to the 880 or 770s? Can I just follow those instructions or are there some differences to take note of?  I haven't found anything that specifically shows the...

Just got a pair of these on Amazon for $150 ((http://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-DT-860-Premium-Headphones/dp/B000Y0IPF8) as a substitute for my T90 that I can leave at work while the T90s stay home, and I have to say, I'm damn impressed. Soundstage is proportional but not enormous, but it's a...

Hello guys, I have been looking to upgrade my gear and i came up with a few salutations that i thought you guys can help me choose which is best for me.   These are the Headphones that i have at the moment:   Beyerdynamic T90 Denon AH-D5000 HiFiMan HE-500 Audeze LCD2 <== "coming...

I like my DT990 Pro 250ohm headphones a lot.  I've had them long enough that I'm on my 3rd set of velour pads now.  I power them using my Yamaha C-80 Preamp (~1984) and it works great.   I've built up my stereo over the years (mostly vintage components) to the point where it sounds quite good...

I personally listen to Alternative rock, rock, and pop.I have the Akg Q701s. Any help is welcome! You can also list some headphones I might want to look into. What im looking into is something with more bass then the Akg Q701s and will sound good with a variety of genres.

Hello Head-fi,   I came across a nice little IEM the other day. So far I have about 20 hours on them, and while they are not outstanding, they are certainly a solid choice for a non-audiophile looking for an inexpensive pair of IEMs that look subtle, and pound out some serious bass.   What...

Hi Gentlemen,   I think I am now addicted to headphones. Just like you! ;) So I plan to buy one real good headphone (ok I think, there it will not stop). First I have to save some money for it, but as everybody here knows it starts with reading a lot of reviews, tests and forumreadings (and...

They clearly change the sound, so the stuff about them not being worth it is clearly just a matter of tastes, and not a matter of them not doing anything. So why all the hate for vacuum tubes? Some of us like that sound. Feels more human, less cold. every time I google about tubes i see a ton of...

Hello there,  Which one is better for cheap gear? Which one is better with expensive gear (scales better) ? What is the main differences in comparison (body, soundstage, imaging, bass, treble) ? Which do you prefer more and why? Has anyone compared these headphones (especially with...

Hello , i wish to invest in a tube amp which is has excellent value for performance , tubes have to be rollable , as i am using a Beyer T90 , my iFi iCAN Nano amp starts to sound alittle piercing on some music . Hence , i would like to have some suggestions regarding this , and hopefully people...

          http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/press/press-releases/press-detail/article/t-90-jubilee-premiering-at-the-high-end-audio-show-munich.html       Soooo. Same peak? Different tuning? Who knows? Out of all DT770s I liked the LE AE the best as it had the tamest highs and least...

Hey guys,   This is my first post. Been a fan of Head-fi for almost 7 months when I first put on a set of Edition 8 Palladium's that my friend showed off. HAD to know what blew me away and found this little gem online.   I think I have a rather unique question because I know the cans and amp...

Hi everyone, I just decided to pull the trigger and upgrade from my trusty M50 to the Beyer T90 paired with the Bottlehead Crack as the amp. As the M50 was driven easily enough with my Galaxy S-III/computer, I don't have any additional sound equipment besides my headphones, Android phone and...

I posted this in portable where I tend to post more but I hope it's OK to ask here as well. Who got headphones for Christmas and what did you get? Doesn't really count if they were a present to yourself but post anyway. Very happy holidays to all. :)

Hello, I'm new to the site. I just made an account both to ask something and because I'm becoming more of an audiogeek with each passing year, so joining a site dedicated towards it seemed appropriate. Went from a low-end Turtlebeach headset to the Beyerdynamic T90 I have now, with about 8...

Hello Head-Fi :) I have been a long time lurker reading different reviews on headphones, amps, ect. I finally set my self up with some higher end cans (Beyer T90) and need some good amplification to go along with it. So far I have been using the Creative Labs ZX sound card to power the...

    I'm trying to cull my rapidly expanding collection and I've decided either the T90, the HE-400, or the TH600 needs to go. In what may come as a surprise to many, I'm leaning towards selling the TH600. I feel like the HE-400 comes close to it in terms of bass impact and excitement - and I...

Hey guys!    So I've heard the Beyerdynamic T90's on a Bottlehead amp at a friend's house, and man are they gorgeous. This pair of headphones is LIGHTYEARS ahead of my current ATH-M50's. But I've also heard some very good things about the He-400's and the He-500's.   Can anyone be kind...

Hi guys!!   I'm upgrading from an ATH M-50 paired with an Android phone listening to FLAC files or high bit-rate MP3's for music. This most certainly has given me an (re)appreciation for music and as a result, I've definitely contracted a bad case of upgraditis :P   So I decided to pull the...
