    DT880 PRO pad experiment, Velour vs Softskin.

    Ater using my DT880 PRO's for over 10 months everyday for at least 6 hours the velour pads changed in shape and sound, so i decided to get 2 new sets of pads for my trusty 880's , first pair to go on are the softskins, these are from Beyerdynamic, BUT these are the ones who have only 1 hole in...

    Stax Lambda Nova Classic

    I saw that add as well, i was wondering the same thing, not being able to test it, but still having that headphone.....i wonder how he/she got it in the first place! But the short description....   Anyway it has some pictures (CLICK) that we can look at, you can see that atleast one of the...

    €600 (800$) for a barely used HD800, is it a good deal?, and what did you pay for your HD800's??

    Well i did buy the Asus Xonar STX the same day i saw this add, and my music is all lossless, flac/wav/alac.

    €600 (800$) for a barely used HD800, is it a good deal?, and what did you pay for your HD800's??

    I was browsing the Dutch counterpart ( marktplaats ) of Ebay.nl and i found an add that offered a second hand ( barely used ) HD800 for €600, pictures of the HD800 and its box and even the receipt, everything looked as good as new. The same seller also offers some other high end cans, all for...

    Sennheiser HD 558's too 'laid back' and Denon AH-D2000's too 'exciting'. Is there a happy medium sound signature?

    So deep bass as in overwhelming or subtle and distinguishable?, upper midrange speaks for itself.   Here is a link to the frequency response graphs of the 558 vs d2000 vs DT880 600 ohm ( i now use DT880 pro 250 Ohm )...

    Sennheiser HD 558's too 'laid back' and Denon AH-D2000's too 'exciting'. Is there a happy medium sound signature?

    You say you want a laid back/clinical and exciting/bassy and trebly headphone, but sometimes people mean completely different things when using these terms.   Someone i know loved my HD558 sound in the first 5 hours, i hated it cause it gave me headaches, after the mod he hated them and i...

    Sennheiser HD580 + Essence STX

    I recently bough the STX as well, and i got the Beyerdynamic DT 880 PRO 250Ohm, and i also came from the ALC892!   The STX makes a HUGE difference, much much louder, and much more clearer/cleaner sounding, i had to re-listen to all my music, cause now i can hear things i could not hear before...

    Xonar STX + DT880 PRO, what to expect > i come from HD558+ALC892 onboard!!!! free cookies

    I really like that switchable gain option, 64-250 is way too loud even on my DT880, setting it to 0-64 is best for me now, i do notice the "airy" sound of the DT880's much better, perhaps a little bit on the bright side, but i have only used them for 3 hours now.   The bass is not so damn...

    Xonar STX + DT880 PRO, what to expect > i come from HD558+ALC892 onboard!!!! free cookies

    Well i just put it in, and i tested it with my HD558, i set the gain to 64-300 and i had my volume at 10, it felt like it was on 100, so freaking loud , but CLEAR, and i can notice a HUGE difference between the onboard ( i should have done this years ago,....... ) Even with the HD558 the bass...

    Xonar STX + DT880 PRO, what to expect > i come from HD558+ALC892 onboard!!!! free cookies

    So today i got myself something nice to play with, the DT 880 PRO ( 250 Ohm ) and the Asus Xonar Essence STX. I am happy i took the PRO version, many people complain about the clamp force, but its fits me perfectly, the normal version would have been too loose on my head...   First thing i...

    TEST: Based on these frequency graphs, which headphone would you choose? 3 graphs included.

    You are correct.   I compared my HD558 with foammod to some other higher end cans, graph wise, some are very similar, sound wise completely different. That is why i am curious what people will think when they see graphs like this.   But i am a total noob when it comes to sound/hifi, and my...

    TEST: Based on these frequency graphs, which headphone would you choose? 3 graphs included.

    I would go for the IE400.   No, none of the graphs contain, a TF10 or a SE535

    TEST: Based on these frequency graphs, which headphone would you choose? 3 graphs included.

    So here are 3 frequency graphs, that each include 4 different headphones, depending on the graph, which one would you choose, i have removed the names to make it more challenging. If you have made your decision please explain why you would pick this certain headphone.     Graph 1 :    ...
