Quote:   Thanks for the info. If guess if you're buying an E11, it's mainly for portable use. That extra bulkyness of the PA2V2 wouldn't be worth it to me.

Quote:   If that's the case, then i would definitely consider the DT770's over the M50's. They just sound so much better with these genre's IMHO.     Quote:   I have the 250Ohm version without an amp. They sound absolutely fantastic, and heard they sound even better with an...

Quote: A few weeks ago I purchased a pair of ATH-M50's as my first good set of cans. I spent quite a while on the net researching them, and there was SO much hype about how great they were for everything and how well they performed as an all-around flat response headphone. I received them...

Well, if you like most mainstream music (which both deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner are), than a good place to start would be here:   http://www.ezzamusic.com/2011/05/top-10-youtube-channels-for-awesome.html   I'd say your first step would be listening around the internet for a while and...

This is interesting actually, I'll give it a whirl after i'm done class in a few hours and report back. 

Try programs like  Winamp, Foobar, or MediaMonkey. Of course you would have to fetch the album art yourself if you haven't already. I don't believe either of those programs do it for you, unless you download an extension to do so.

This is also in my interest.. Bump!

"portable subwoofer territory" bahahah it's so true. It can be so aggravating.

Quote:        I KNOW right!? There's so many people who strut these around it's getting to the point where people who know nothing about headphones respond with "Oh like Dre. Beats?" when you mention 'good' headphones. It's sort of upsetting.         It's not even like they are...

That looks like a very nice piece of hardware. I'm not overly familiar with AMP/DAC combos that have the optical in lines for PS3. If I were you, just continue researching the forums and I'm sure you'll find something to accommodate your needs! Best of luck!

I think you have the wrong idea here. In simple terms; the "Ohm" rating you see on the headphones is the combined Resistance, Inductance and Capacitance of the headphone's voice coil. Generally, the higher this number, the more power it takes to drive the headphones and push them to their max...

Yes, the cable for the HD650 is detachable, and interchangeable. There's a few threads here on Head-Fi regarding cables for the HD650. Use the search button at the top of the page to find them, or take a look at this thread below; http://www.head-fi.org/t/88712/best-cable-for-sennheiser-hd-650...

            Well i'm in school, so I always have my laptop on me (my university requires it). I carry it it around in my bag form class to class. The thing is, I would only be listening to my headphones on my laptop when I'm studying or when I'm in my room. Never in class. For on-the-go...

Quote: Thank you for the recommendation. I'm still not quite sure whether i should be looking at a DAC/AMP combo like the E10 or a more portable standalone amp like the E11. The thing is, I use my headphones 80% + of the time on my little laptop. Since my laptop has a crappy integrated...

Quote:   Gotta respect those DT770's!  I love mine!

Quote:            Sure it would, but it takes away from the whole surprise present experience . Although I'm sure in the end, getting the headphones he wants is going to be most important thing...

Quote:   If more DJ's at clubs looked like this, I would start going 

Quote:        The price bracket really depends on where you are from. I couldn't find any info on your profile, are you located in the United States or Canada or elsewhere? I know that some headphones per say on amazon.com are $150, but would be ~$300 here in Canada (Amazon.ca). If you...

Quote: I'm assuming by 'style', Tangster meant the look of the headphones. Does your boyfriend care for a certain look? For example, Open back, closed back, a certain colour etc. That will aid in narrowing things down a bit.

I was in my marketing lecture today and spotted a chap with a pair of HD 439 Senn's. Not any high end headphone by any sort, but my first spot! Other than mass amounts of Dre. Beats of course... 

Quote:        Thanks for the suggestion, but there's next to no information on this amplifier and the seller doesn't even list it's features or how many Ohms of impedance it can handle. Also I don't see any bass EQ's or modes of that sort, which is kind of upsetting. Thanks anyways for...

     The title pretty much states it all! I'm currently running a pair of DT770 Pro 250's and I absolutely love the sound they produce. I run them through my Lenovo T520 laptop when at home, and my iPhone 4s while tripping around. I listen to mostly:   Indie / Indie pop / Indie rock / Indie...

Quote: Thanks for all your help, it's very much appreciated. Cheers 

Quote:   Sorry for the late reply. I haven't checked my thread for a few days. I actually went out and bought the DT770 250Ohm version at Long and McQuade Saturday! I love them. I'm currently trying to get rid of my ATH M50's for $150, and when I switch back and forth between the two, I...

Quote: I'm that much more excited because It sounds so great even without an amplifire! Couldn't imagine how lovely they would sound with a nice little amp. Actually Long & McQuade here in Oshawa, Ontario sells them for $165. Pretty ridiculously awesome right? The cheapest I have seen on...
