My RS1i has more bass than the DT770 I had... Though it was the 250 ohm version.

unscrew the ones you do have and measure them?

It doesn't exists, sorry. You might get some replies from some people that recommend the new flavor of the month, but it's highly likely that you will prefer something else.

DT48 is all you want. The fit is something you need to get used to, but they are more detailed and smoother than HD600.

From most natural to least natural sounding:   1: DT48 2: ER4S 3: HD600 4: HD800 5: RS1i 6: HD25-1 7: iPhone loudspeakers 8: random $5 battery powered Bluetooth speaker 9: Ultrasone Pro 900

looks awesome, did you manage to buy it?

Seems like the port wasn't fixed then? At least the signal is digital, so you don't have to worry about signal quality degradation if you have sound.

hmmm they're the same price here in the Netherlands, weird.

Because they want to give you a reason to pull out more money for more expensive, comfortable headphones.

Why not get Ultrasone 580?

I guess one cannot argue with measurements (though I can't see how they were performed), but to me Tyll lost his credibility as soon as he said that Denon D2000 is a better headphone for field recording engineers than the DT48, lol.   My DT48S and DT48A sound the same to me when using the same...

I've had Pro 900 and HFI 580 and they sounded strange. Mids very distant, exaggerated bass and metallic, shrill treble. They sounded only good for EDM (though painful at times). Comparing them with things like DT48, HD600, K701, HD25 while playing acoustic or vocals was just a joke. The...

I do have to add that the DT48S (and all other very old DT48 models) sound slightly darker than the newer models, and I agree that they sound a bit darker than the ER4. But the difference is small and the darker nature only makes them smoother and less grainy sounding than ER4 (not that ER4 is...

The only thing I can think of, it that your DAC/amp has terrible synergy with your DT48 (do you even own a DT48? You don't list it in your profile) I've used the ER4S daily for over 4 years, and have owned 3 pairs of HD800. The primary reason I love the DT48 is that it sounds similar to the...

  Dude, you cracked me up. ER4 slaughters DT48? DT48 GRAINY? there is definitely something wrong with your DT48 system if it sounds grainy to you. DT48 and ER4 are like the most similar sounding things I've ever heard. ER4S to me sounds basically like an in-ear DT48. Both are insanely clear...

  Well, the chance that something is technically wrong with the tranducers is pretty small so I wouldn't mess with them before doing some more tests. It may sound stupid, but are you sure that you are wearing the headphones symmetrically? As in, having both earcups adjusted to the same length...

Oh and about the channel imbalance, just replace the cable. The cable is almost always the culprit in these kinds of things. If it was not the cable, but for instance a misaligned voice coil, it would be very unlikely that 1 side would only sound more quiet, without distortion or alterations in...

What's the point of this whole discussion? ANY headphone can be destroyed if you feed it enough energy, that's just simple physics. Doesn't matter if it's a DT48, Porta Pro or Orpheus. Why would you even try to find the limit if you risk damaging your hearing and your DT48 in the process...

Beyerdynamic clearly states that one must be sure NOT to drop fluids into the driver, so I would highly advice against this. Especially since the diaphragm suspension seems to be permeable to water. The "sweat" production which the DT48 is known for, is not actually sweat. It is water vapor...

iphone/ipad headphone out has slight bass boost and rolled off treble i think, while STX is neutral sounding. STX has a good EQ though, so it's easy to tune the sound to your liking. And yeah, I really don't get where these stories of Beyer "bass" come from. I tried DT770 250 ohm and it had...

"Rare earth metal" is just a marketing term. Usually the term is used for neodymium magnets, which are used by almost all headphones, even $5 ones. The strength of the magnet is very important as it partly determines the speed and force at which the voice coil moves when current is passed...

Don't listen in front of a mirror, it distracts you from the music.

HD800 and DT48. The latter sounds just as "in your face" as ER4, the HD800 obviously has much bigger soundstage, but sounds slightly less fast as ER4 and DT48 and has a bit more bass. HD600 also sounds pretty similar, but isn't quite on par with the others when it comes to technical...

That is one beautiful DT48A you got there, one of the earliest made it seems. You are very lucky to get that for free. Please keep it in good condition! They are a collector's dream.     Does the imbalance remain if you turn up the volume more? Maybe the volume imbalance is due to some...

The opposite of bright. So, a headphone that sounds dark has rather subdued treble, compared to the mids and bass. This description does NOT apply to the latest HD600 IMO, which is dead neutral, I even found it rather bright, definitely brighter than HD25-1 for example.
