I'm a burn in believer as well. My dt770pro really improved in the bass department with some playing time.

I have tried my DT880 out of all kinds of source/amp combos and believe me they really suck straight out of the back of a pc sound card but they absolutely shine comming out of a good dedicated amp.

I enjoy speakers more than headphones because no headphones no matter how good they are can replace the impact, imaging and soundstage of a good speaker system. Having said that I do love my headphone listening as well, particularly since I do much of my listening at night when the kids are in...

The DT880's have a nice wide soundstage with excellent instrument seperation

I have recently received a set of DT 880's and I am blown away by these headphones. They have great detail yet are smooth enough to not be fatiguing in the highs. Soundstage is huge, with good instrument seperation and the sound is quite forward. Several people have said that the bass is a...

Would it be worthwhile to have a "headphone accessories" catagory where things such as aftermarket headphone cables, pads, extensions etc. can be reviewed? It seems that quite a few headfiers get right into replacing stock cables and pads.

I reckon there is good justification for several pairs of headphones: 1) Main rig with best cans. 2) PC - headphones for gaming and mp3 listening. 3) Home Theatre - headphones with big soundstage for movie watching late at night. 4) Portable - for ipods and the like. 5) because you can

All I can say is I hope the DT880's are great headphones because I have just put a pair on order without ever hearing them. I already know that I enjoy the Beyer sound (770's) and I was also considering getting some Senn HD650's (which I also haven't heard) but in the end the dollars spoke. In...

thanx guys, that retravision store is a terrific aussie price.

I am having trouble finding any Australian shops or internet sites that sell the Sennheiser HD650 for anything resembling a reasonable price. The few places that I can find are asking $700+ AUD for the HD650. Does anyone know where in Australia these can be had for a good price? I see prices of...

The majority here seem to be listing amp as last?? Good luck to anyone trying to listen to their hd650 or dt770/250's out of a unamped portable or integrated amp

I am close to purchasing another set of cans. I reckon its gonna be one of the grado/allesandro line. While I will be using these primarily for music I was wondering if they are any good for gaming/movies as well. I know people say that the soundstage is nonexistant but is it still possible to...
