It is this one, right? It is not anywhere near under $250, but maybe I will just go for it anyway. With shipping, AC adapter, taxes and so on it will set me back $400.

I am planning on buying DT880 600 ohm, and in that occation I need a DAC/amp. Is it possible to get anything suitable for under $250?

I see your point, but I was thinking to get the amp first so I can test the headphones properly before I decide whether to keep them or not. I do not own anything powerful enough to drive any 600 ohm headphone.   I will see what I can find in the DT880 thread...   Thanks again...

Quote: How will the Aune T1/X1 perform? Will it have enough power to drive the 600 ohm version? I can get the X1 for $205 and the T1 for $250. I do not like the cons on the Denons. Sounds like what I am trying to avoid. As I understand they are discontinued anyway.

Thanks. I think I will try them out. I do not have any amp for them (except for Fiio e6), but I have lots of stereo receiver I can try to pair them with. Which version should I buy? 32 ohm = $341 250 ohm = $355 600 ohm = $341 So the price it not a factor in my choice, but I guess...

The DT880 250 ohm will set me back $355 from my local store, and seems to have a really good quality to price ratio. Then I will also get norwegian warranty, which is far better then most other countries.

I live in Norway. From what I understand it will be $299 for the headphone + $25 shipping + $82 VAT + $35 brokerage fee = $441   Still worth it?

Thank you for the answers, I will take it into consideration even though the availability where I live is pretty limited. To get a pair of MAd Dogs I will have to pay a considerable amount for shipping, taxes and VAT.

As for now I am switching between the HD25-II and DT770 80 ohm. I love the Beyerdynamics comfort and build quality, but I am not satisfied with the sound. It is OK for short listening periodes, but after a while I get really tired of the veil bass. On the other hand I love the Sennheisers...

I am going to assemble my own cable for my HD25. I already have the connectors for both ends, but I can not find any suitable cables. The 3,5mm jack can only take cables up to 4,5 mm, so I need realtive thin cables. I am most concerned about the build and perceived quality, and is not willing...

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 32 ohm (not Limited Edition) have been sold in some countries for a long time. They even come in the 80 ohm box with a sticker that says 32 ohm. Never heard about DT770 Premium 32 ohm.

They do not sell Hifiman in my country so I will have to order them from abroad. That means 25% extra in taxes + customs handling fee and shipping. All the prices I have mentioned are either lowest price available in my country or prices from amazon + taxes and shipping.   So as you can see...

Thank you.   Are there any difference between the pro and the non-pro version? Looks like the pro version har much better availability, but the prices are the same.

I have been looking for a new set of headphones for a while, and have received a lot of suggestions. I have already excluded some, but there is still a good bunch to choose from. I will use my headphones mainly for music, but they will also be used for movies. I prefer detailed, clear and...
