    Which headphones do you use for PC gaming?

    Beyerdynamic T90. It's the best headphone I have, so that's what I use. No microphone, but I couldn't care less about that.

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    I too tried the DT880 pads. The treble became smeared and everything from the midbass down went away. Not good at all.

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    I'm honestly a bit surprised about all the talk of sibilant treble. I'm quite sensitive to treble, so headphones like Grados and Alessandros are very fatiguing to listen to. But I have no problems with the T90. People say that the T90 is like a DT880 with more treble, but I disagree. The DT880's...

    Headphone Sightings 2

    I saw someone riding a bike wearing a Superlux HD-668B in Toronto a few days ago. I thought they where AKG K240's at first.

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    I read that some people where bothered by the treble. How does the treble compare to the DT880? Is the T90's detailed presentation perhaps due to a treble spike?

    Quote: Thanks, that's very useful. Bigger soundstage, more body to the sound, and more detail, without straying away from the DT880 sound signature is exactly what I want. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on these.

    Beyerdynamic T90 Discussion and Support Thread

    I've been thinking of upgrading from my DT880 to the T90. I like the 880's sound signature, though I'd like a bit more weight in the bass and a wider soundstage. Is the T90 similar in sound signature to the DT880? If not, how different are they?

    Review by 'VolkswagenFox' on item 'Shure SE215'

    I've been a fan of Shure IEMs for a while. I had the E2c, E3c (two of them), and SE210 previously. Problem was the cable over-the-ear design. The cable going over the ear sucked in moisture, became hard and brittle, and finally broke. I wore my E3c like earbuds, which thankfully saved them from...

    Review by 'VolkswagenFox' on item 'Alessandro MS-1'

    These where my first good full-sized headphones and have served as my main headphones for home use since 2007 until recently (2013).   At $100 these are a good price, especially for people living outside of the US where Grados are just way too expensive. The sound is relatively flat, but the...

    Why would anyone want just one headphone?

    Cost is often a factor, not everyone can afford multiple headphones. Personally, I want the most neutral and revealing headphone I can afford, and another more coloured pair for bad recordings.

    Hey all. I've been thinking of upgrading from my Shure SE215 to something more neutral. SE215s are just too boomy. My spending limit is $300. I'll be using them with my laptop and iPod without an headphone amp (at least not at the moment). I listen to all kinds of music ranging from classical to...

    WORST headphone you ever heard?

    The worst headphones I've ever heard was a pair of JVC earbuds that were 7 bucks. My Shure E2c broke, so I get these as an emergency pair to get me by until my newly ordered Shure E3c arrived. Tinniest things I've ever heard. You had to really crank the volume to hear anything, and even then it...

    Pretty happy with this setup at the moment.

    Schiit Lyr - The tube rolling thread

    I ordered a set of socket savers as well as a matched set of Gold Lions. The Lyr is my first tube amp, so I'm pretty excited about trying out different tubes and seeing how the sound will change.
