thanks for comments foe-hammer, i think i must be a bit deaf!

Can anyone help on adding a desktop amp into my 360/mixamp set up? How would I connect it up? Would it improve the volume which is my only complaint using the DT880? Could I still use the mixamp to mix voice? Would something like the project headbox 2 fit the bill? Foe hammer, you said you saw...

I too have the DT880 with the mixamp but i am finding the combination a little under powered when it comes to volume, more so with movies, which i'll come onto. if a am not mixing game and voice on the mixamp, and have the balance 100% to game, then it's no problem when gaming. more of an issue...

Looking to partner either of these with a mixamp for 360 gaming, also using the mixamp connected to my blu ray deck for movies. Anyone got any experience of using both of these? which do you prefer?

Thanks for the link DannagE, i think i've decided on these, just need them to come in stock now!

Thanks martb, i like the look of the DT880. i can only find these products on the sites you mentioned Beyerdynamic DT880 | SALE Now On! Beyerdynamic DT880 PRO Semi-Open Headphones 250Ω (DT 880) HiFi Headphones are either of these the 2005? why does everyone say the 2005's are the...
