I ended up going with the Shure SRH940. I really wanted the DT 880's but I just couldn't justify getting an open back design headphone when I will be moving in with a roommate very soon. It just won't logistically work. Fortunately, I found a great deal on the 940's which was immediately the...

I really want the DT 880's but I just don't think they will be feasible with a roommate. That's why I am looking for a similar sounding headphone. If I didn't have the roommate issue which would likely cause problems due to the DT 880's being open then I would definitely just go with the DT...

So I have gotten a lot of info on here thus far in regards to open headphones. I would love to get a pair of them however I am getting more and more concerned about having them with a roommate. Everything I have read in reviews keeps pointing me to the DT 880's in terms of a sound I would like...

Thanks. Good food for thought. I think I might invest in the Modi/Magni stack so that I have more room the grow into with more headphones down the road. 

First off, if I go with the Fulla would it be enough to drive a 250+ ohm pair of headphones?    In terms of audio quality, would going with the Modi and Magni stack be a lot superior to the Fulla? I have heard good reviews on both of them but have yet to hear a comparison review. It basically...

I'm leaning towards getting the open headphones and hoping it's like your situation. I will just test the volume levels and worst comes to worst only use the headphones when my roommate is out of the room or at the least not at night. I think it's better than nothing. If I am going to invest in...

I understand you can't tell me exactly. I was just looking for a rough estimate so your example of laying the headphones down was great. Thanks.

I'm concerned about sound escaping, but it's not a huge issue. During the day it will be fine when my roommate will be out or in the room but not sleeping. It will only really be an issue on certain nights when I stay up late to study or whatever. In those cases if I simply turn the volume down...

  I've heard several negative reviews on the bass on the DT 990's. That steered me away from those. I actually like the idea of a more neutral sounding pair of headphones so I think the DT 880's still might work for me. Also, I've heard bad reviews on the 32 ohm version. I found an amp/DAC...

Hi all! I am a huge music fan. I wear headphones for probably 90% of the time I am awake and not in class. I figure it's probably about time I invest in nicer equipment to enjoy something I partake in the majority of my waking hours. I have very little overall knowledge when it comes to audio...
