"too much treble energy ruins a headphone - followed by excessive bass I suppose, but the tolerance for excessive bass is much higher"   I find this insight very interesting, especially the tolerance part, and I agree with it.  It helped me understand why I'm liking the sound signature of...

Interesting insights; DT250 vs. DT880.    I'm always curious though, what makes many people prefer headphones with such a prominent dips and spikes in the overall frequency range. I mean we all want some freedom in liking whatever phones that gives us an immediate pleasure, and that's...

soundeffect, I personally didn't think you exaggerated about that ad700. I, too, thought they are base-light. The phone has emphasis on the highs, I personally couldn't adapt to the fatigue caused by it.   As long as you're fine with uniquely closed phone sounding, and if the dt250 fits well...

soundeffect, are you talking about 80ohm or 250ohm ver. of dt250?   Considering dt250s by themselves: Whichever the case may be, neither has strong, punchy bass. They're more like "right" amount/strength of bass. There's slightest whisper of base leaning toward light than toward heavy, then...

Oh, I got it disillusion.   I'm afraid I sensed you took "I know better than you" tone against many thread contributers by the owners of dt250s for the reason that you demonstrated the motive to tell us all to step back, when there's no potential dt250 owners in this thread who're blindly...

Disillusion,    I'm sorry that my post have made you feel insecure; that's MY BAD, I don't mean to make anyone feel bad.    Let me make some excuses.I was just making explicit the obvious difference between first-hand doers and outside-commentators. Opinions coming from the two different...

Trust me, disillusion, tests are done in fairly controlled manner (they're controlled beyond your imagination or anything you've doubted ttp://en.goldenears.net/388)   Things are relative, as you might want to insist, but also never really flat. Irony is that strong advocate of democracy...

I do buy your argument. In fact, skepticism is good, even inevitable, though all one can do become only critiquing "texts" people post here, unless one compares the dt250 80 and 250 ohms himself. Then, one can proceed to discuss the next level: individual differences in the resolution of one's...

I agree with you. 80ohm's highs are not veiled (to my ears).    It's relatively easy to reproduce highs with headphones than lows and make people feel that the sounds are crisp & clear by accentuating the highs because they'll surprise by the detail they can hear that they couldnt before...

The velour does collect dusts and fine hairs, though easily removable by that sticky roller thing to clean the carpet   FYI, that 7506's graph is not so accurate.    These are:   ttp://www.geocities.jp/ryumatsuba/mdr-7506.html   ttp://servizi.infotecna.it/Sony-MDR-7506-NOEQ/  ...

Hi,    I just become a member here because I' wanted to thank donunus and you all for creating this whole DT250 appreciation thread.    Thanks to you, I was able to meet DT250, learn (and also experienced) about 80 vs 250 difference, and get DT250/250. You saved me so much cost to find...
