Amp for DT990 250ohm
If you're on a budget, I find that the signature of the 990 250ohm really runs well of hi-fi/stereo speaker amps, these are available second hand and modern day ones can connect to your computer via an optical cable it really compliments the low reaching bass at the same time slightly...- squareznboxez

Looking for a headphone to pair with iBasso DX90 - driving problematic on Beyerdynamic DT 990 or AKG Q701/K701
I have the DT990 250ohm and auditioned both the Fiio X5 and the DX90 The DX90 runs the 990s on high gain (there are zero / mid / hi settings) to a satisfactory level - that said I needed to have the volume up at the 240~ range (max is 256) The DX90 (Sabre dac) from all the reviews has a...- squareznboxez

Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro & DT990 Pro (Comparison w/ pictures!)
Thanks for taking the time to review these 2 models! I recently purchased the 990pro 250ohm, and am waiting on delivery of a 2nd hand 880pro 250ohm, so I am very glad to hear there is someone else appreciating the differences between the two, and that i'm not crazy seeing value in owning both...- squareznboxez

Audio Technica ATH-FC700 - foldable...with soundstage!
The FC range are a great under-rated cans, i bought a pair of FC707s while i was overseas, and i actually prefer these to the M50s, they have a very similar signature to the Shure in-ear 215 and 535s which both cost more than the FCs - they don't have the lingering bass re-verb that sometimes...- squareznboxez

Best $300 Headphones
the AD900X are a good alternative to the HD600s, similar signatures (sparkling vocals and highs, solid mids and recessed sub-bass) Personal preference obviously but i think the 900Xs place nicer on the head, as well as the slightly more airy signature making it suitable for acoustic...- squareznboxez

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Awesome, thanks for chiming in, regarding mid-bass and warmth I've recently moved on a set of Audio Technica AD-1000x as a result of listening to my friends 880 600ohms, i preferred the more neutral signature over the AD-1000x's more warm and pronounced soundtrack Appreciate the feedback for...- squareznboxez

Trying to decide if I should get a dedicated receiver or a headphone amp.
Definitely a dedicated headphone amp, if it is for headphone use only - i have a Harman/Kardon AVR and an Aune T1, and the difference is night and day in my opinion -- squareznboxez

Full size headphones for movie watching
DT880s are a good candidate, as they provide evidence of sub bass where many headphones in my opinion don't get so low - combined with a great stage they would be my pick - they are also a step above in terms of lightness and comfort- squareznboxez
