    Test your hearing

    These are some pretty cool tests. Tone: 83.3% Adaptive pitch: 1.125Hz 1st time 0.675Hz 2nd time (wearing DT990s) Rhythm: 96% Visual: 70% I guess the rhythm bit makes sense considering how I produce breakbeat music, and the rest is good because I've been playing the oboe since I was...

    Xonar D2 vs Prelude vs DX+amp for desktop?

    Cool thanks, that's what I thought I gleaned from some of the reviews I read. Anyone else have any thoughts? I might order the DX tomorrow morning then. Until then maybe I'll gain some insight in my sleep (or from you guys in the different time zone ).

    Xonar D2 vs Prelude vs DX+amp for desktop?

    Ya thanks I thought DX was the way to go. I perhaps wasn't quite clear in what I typed, which happens quite a lot since I seem to write in a stream of conciousness kind of way.... I ordered a set of DT880s, but what came was DT990s in the leather case but they were inside a carboard DT880 box...

    Xonar D2 vs Prelude vs DX+amp for desktop?

    So currently I've got DT990s (2005 250ohm I think - got them shipped by mistake instead of DT880s in a DT880 box and couldn't be bothered messing about with it so just kept them but that's besides the point ) and I've only got onboard sound (Realtek AC97) with no amp or anything. I'm liking the...

    I am making a buyers guide!

    You'd have to mention the Mylarone X3s, but I guess since they $57 they don't quite fit in the $50 bracket, yet I don't think they quite compete with $100 IEMs...

    Problems with mylarone x3's

    Ya I just tried that Aevum, and played with a music production programme (buzz) that allowed me to pan the sound from left to right and I found that it sounded more even when it was about 5/8 to 3/4 of the way to the left as opposed to straight in the middle. It didn't really seem like a massive...

    POST PICS OF YOUR DARTH BEYERS

    Oh em gee! Dam guys I've finally gone through all 46 pages of this thread, and I'm gobsmacked, I SOOOO WANT A PAIR!! If only I weren't a poor university bum already - as opposed to being poor due to wasting money on dope headphones like these . Those blackpalms have to be the nicest cans IMO...

    Problems with mylarone x3's

    Meh, after like 2 days of listening to my X3s the sound went all quiet all of a sudden this afternoon on the left side... is this the dreaded left driver problems I've been hearing about? Or is it possibly just my imagination/ears? I sorta doubt that tho, cos I got a pair of XBs too and the L/R...

    corda move or ibasso d1 for beyer dt880

    Yea cheers neilometer - I think I've checked that first thread before, but didn't really have a good read through, but I might have to. I guess I will have to have a good think about how much I'll use the amp whilst away from my cp, tho I know I'll be out and about a fair bit listening to...

    Portable headphone recommendations

    Have a look at the MylarOne X3s, their only $57 shipped and everything from jaben.net, check out the appreciation thread too for more info. I'm getting myself a pair of these, cos they seem like decent headphones, although it seems they are a little bit low on the bass + may need an amp to...

    Deliberations over getting portable amp

    Thanks, I saw these CMOYs being mentioned but I wasn't really too sure what they really were... I've never made anything electrical in my life so are they going to be easy enough to make do u think? I don't have any equipment either. Edit: I've just started reading the tutorial that u linked...
