Thank you anyway, I'll end up buying these. The build, portability and isolation alone at this price makes them a smart buy in my case, knowing that the fit will probably be comfortable does the rest. Thanks. =) 

@episiarch, that's great news, isolation is almost the sole purpose of this purchase, I already have the UE4000 which sound OK for the job, but they isolate poorly (on-ear and all). By now I'm pretty sure that I'm buying them, it's just that I don't have a lot of cash at hand and I like to as...

I'm on the fence about these cans, so I sat idly by while a promotion on Amazon could have saved me 10 Eur. Some people question the comfort of these headphones and I'm going to use them for hours on end while studying so I'm unsure if this will work out. I'll browse a bit more, but I really...

Hi, I've been looking at these headphones as a good portable over-ear option. But I would like to get the best price the prices I've found are around 60€, does anyone have a better price for me? I'm from Portugal so shipping from outside of europe kills any price I've seen, but I accept...

At the time, I found them on Amazon.es at 130€ or something like that, but since then they increased the price to around 140€: - http://www.amazon.es/Beyerdynamic-DT990-Pro-Auriculares-abiertos/dp/B0011UB9CQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439633639&sr=8-1&keywords=dt+990 Cheers, CNoob

Thanks for the help everyone. I pulled the trigger on the AD900X. Now comes the waiting part. XD PS: If anyone is looking for a portable amp for less than 70 bucks the PA2V2 looks very interesting, just email Gary at Electric Avenues and he'll clear any doubts you might have about the amp.

Yeah, they're starting to look like the winner. And if needed I'll do the rubber band mod and should be fine. Thanks

Bump.. Sorry for the spam, but the AD900X won't be an option for much longer there are only 4 in stock and they dropped price to 160€.

Thanks. Well I talked to Gary at Electric Avenues, I should be able to get the amp for about 60 euros. So I'm down to two options, which do you guys think is best :   - The Beyers DT990 (135€) + PA2V2 (60€) : 195€    or   - The Audio Technica ATH-AD900X (160€) - I only spotted them now...

Thanks, I'll contact Electric Avenues to see how much it would cost me to buy a Pocket Amp 2 – Version 2 (PA2V2) (with import tax), it seems to be up to the task, if it's too expensive I'll buy the HD598s.   The only question I have is about some people saying that the DT990s only sound good...

Well, first of all thanks for the replies. Now, I took a look at the AD-900X and they looked pretty great but the import taxes will turn them into a very expensive pair of headphones. And the fact that I can't be certain of the price, post import tax, makes it impossible for me to take the...

Thanks, I looked around, and here they would be nearly three times the price I can the NX1 my budget won't stretch that far. So if anyone has another idea about an amp or me needing or not the DAC I would be grateful.

Yes, it's very recent, my doubt would be more about if I should wait to see how the NX2 pans out or if I should buy the NX1, because I wouldn't notice that much of an improvement on buying a DAC. I'm wondering if only after a certain level of quality (regarding the headphones) is the...

Hi, to start I'm going to say that I've been lurking these forums for a while not wanting to add to the "should I buy these" posts. But since I got very little cash and I want to make the most of it, I would like to be as sure as I can be about my purchase. I would like to buy some nice...
